The school became a government school in 1912 and the name was changed into Malimbada Sri Sumedha Maha Vidyalaya as a proposal of Mr Samarawickrama, a former principal of this school.[ citation needed ] Formerly, there were only primary and secondary classes, but the permission was granted to start Advanced Level classes on 10 January 1982.
