PARADE
About
St. John's College, Panadura, established in 1927, has a long-standing tradition of excellence in education and discipline. The Annual School Parade is a cornerstone event that celebrates our heritage, unity, and the spirit of our institution.
The parade brings together cadet platoons, the school band, drill squads, and the wider college community. It showcases precision, teamwork, and the values we hold dear—honour, discipline, and pride in our alma mater.
The Vehicle Parade segment allows alumni, parents, and supporters to participate by registering their vehicles and joining the procession. Together, we honour the legacy of St. John's College and look forward to another year of achievement.
