CREST
The crest of Prince of Wales College in Moratuwa is a noble symbol of knowledge, discipline, and achievement. It features three ostrich feathers emerging from a golden coronet of crosses and fleurs-de-lis, honoring the heraldic traditions of the Prince of Wales.
Surrounding the coronet is a banner inscribed with the motto “ICH DIEN” (I Serve), beneath which rests the foundational maxim “NIHIL PER SALTUM” (Nothing without effort). Each element reflects the school’s enduring mission to instill humility, moral integrity, and relentless pursuit of excellence in every student.
The crest serves as an everlasting inspiration to generations of Cambrians, representing dignity, honor, and selfless devotion to the alma mater and the nation.

HOUSE SYSTEM
The House System at Prince of Wales College was introduced in 1904. This system divided the students into different groups called houses, each with its own name and identity. It was a way to create a sense of belonging and competition among the students. Each house had its own colors, emblem, and motto, and students would compete in various activities and sports to earn points for their house. This system not only encouraged friendly competition but also fostered teamwork and camaraderie among the students. Over the years, the House System has become an integral part of the college's tradition, bringing students together and instilling a strong sense of pride in their respective houses.

INFRASTRUCTURE
The Prince of Wales College started building its school a long time ago, on September 14, 1876. They put down the first stone to begin the construction. A smart person named Mr. Muhandiram Mendis Jayawardane made the basic plan for the school.
This plan helped make the school's infrastructure, which means all the buildings and things the school needed to work properly. So, the Prince of Wales College has a history that goes back a very long time, and its infrastructure was carefully designed to support the education of its students.
