Peter's College is a distinguished boys only primary to secondary (inclusive) school in the Bambalapitiya zone of Colombo, Sri Lanka. It was founded in 1922. In 1919, just after the end of World War I, Rev. Fr. M.J. Le Goc, Rector of St Joseph's College, Colombo, had a vision of a college in the southern suburbs of Colombo. While he was traveling one day on his famous motor bicycle with this idea

in mind, Fr Le Goc spotted a block of cinnamon land in Bambalapitiya which belonged to Mr. E.C. De Fonseka. The construction began on July 7, 1921 and was carried out under the supervision of Mr. J R J Jayesuria, an alumnus of St. Joseph's College. In December 1921, Rev. Le Goc confidently announced at the Josephian award ceremony that St. Joseph's College South would open in January 1922. The buildings were designed by Rev. Le Goc himself and because of his enthusiasm, the buildings sprung up in six months. The quadrangle in front had an oval drive running around it. Le Goc also incorporated the concept of open-air classrooms. College Quadrangle
The inauguration took place on Wednesday January 18, 1922. The Railway Department made special arrangements for the transportation of students from St. Joseph's College who was participating in the ceremony. A total of 204 students were admitted on that day and by the end of the year the number had risen to 268. The First rector was Rev.Fr.D.J.Nicholas Perera O.M.I., while the Current Rector is Rev. Travis Gabriel.
