Maris Stella College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maris Stella College is a College in Negombo, Sri Lanka founded by the Marist Brothers in 1922.
On 2nd January 1817, Father Marcelline Champagnat, son of a farmer in the hamlet of Rozey close to the town of Marlhes in Loire, France, now Saint Marcelline Champagnat, founded the religious order of the Marist Brothers. A hundred years later, in 1918, four religious Brothers of this congregation came to Negombo, Sri Lanka, and took over the management of St.Mary's College. In 1922, the school moved to its present site and assumed the new name of Maris Stella College, and thus our school was born. Our school is Branch of ST MARY'S COLLEGE NEGOMBO .

School Flag: The College flag is composed of two blue strips and a red stripe in between. The upper blue stipe connotes God while the lower blue stripe signifies the earth and water. The red stripe in the middle stands for love. Thus the College flag is symbol of God’s love and man’s love for each other.
School Crest: The main freatures in the College Crest are. A shining star, the English Letters A and M, 12 small stars,a yacht sailing in the sea and the words Iter Para Tutum. The shining star at the very top of the crest reminds that we are on a life jouney and this star shows us the correct way. The English letters A & M stand for the words “ Ave Maria “. The yacht likens our life’s journey to a yacht sailing the seas. The three Latin works “ Iter Para Tutum “ at the bottom means “ Show Us the Way “
