S. Thomas' College, Mount Lavinia is my school. It's a very admirable school, with a grand atmosphere. My school is situated near the sea. The school was established in 1851. The founder was Bishop James Chapman. The present Warden is Rev. Fr. Mark Billimoria. There are about 2500 students and 120 teachers now. The school motto is ‘Esto Perpetua’ (Be thou forever) and the school colours are blue and black. My school has lots of facilities and also many sports and societies. The school has a proud history. It's famous for the Royal-Thomian Big Match. (137 years) My school provides a very high standard education, and I love my school very much.
