After shifting location several times, the school ended where it is now, down Retreat Road. During World War 2, the school building was used as a hospital.
Holy Family Convent Bambalapitiya celebrated its 110th anniversary on 2 February 2013.
The chapel of Holy Family Convent, Bambalapitiya was dedicated to the Holy Family of Nazareth in 1933. Funds to build it were collected through various sources. Concerts were organised and each class came forward to perform every Friday for which tickets were sold at the price of 10 cents.
The Carrara marble altar was a gift from the past pupils of that time and the tabernacle was a gift from Elizabeth Pillai. Holy Hour every first Friday afternoon of the month, annual retreats which went on for two or three days and confessions on Thursdays were the regular religious services that were held in the chapel.
The college anthem was composed by Eileen Walles and the words written by Wendy Whatmore.
