HYMN FOR SRI LANKA

1. O Father, thou has promised

The isles shall wait for thee

The joyous isles of Ocean

The jewels of the sea

Lo, we this island's watchmen

Would give and take no rest

For thus, hath thou commanded

Till our dear land be blessed.

2. Then bless her mighty Father

With blessings needed most

In every verdant village

By every palmy coast

On every soaring mountain

O'er every spreading plain

May all her sons and daughters

Thy righteousness attain.

3. Give peace within her borders

"Twixt man and man goodwill"

The love all unsuspicious

The love that works no ill

In loyal lowly service

Let each from other learn

The guardian and the guarded

Till Christ Himself return

4. To Him our land shall listen

To Him our land shall kneel

All rule be on His shoulders

All wrong beneath His heel

O consummation glorious

Which now by faith we sing

Come, cast we up the highway

That brings us back the King.

Walter Stanley Senior (1876-1938)

Poet of Sri Lanka,

Seeker of Souls,

Servant of God.

We take this opportunity to extend our appreciation and gratitude to the well-wishers who very

generously made contributions towards the Prize Giving.

Educators are becoming more and more aware of the battle cry of Ronald R. Edmonds (1935 –

1983) of the Harvard University, which claims that all children can learn. Though, in an era

where education is compulsory for all children, we are to realize the need to reduce the gap

between achievement levels in children. Educators are also moving away from crediting the

student’s family background as the main reason for the student’s success in school. In fact,

schools can and do make a change in the lives of the students, not being influenced totally by

their family backgrounds.

Working on this premise, makes teaching a very difficult task. However difficult the task be, we

as a responsible education institute do strive to reap the harvest of our conviction and do work

towards it, as a team.

THE COLLEGE SONG

Thomians young, and Thomians old

Thomians staunch and true,

Rally round the College flag,

The blue, the black and blue.

To your alma mater sing,

Thomians near and far;

Loudly let the echoes ring,

For all we have and are.

Chorus

Esto Perpetua

Esto Perpetua

Esto Perpetua

The blue, black and blue for ever.

Like the serpent keen and wise,

Harmless as the dove,

By the cross we’re knit in one,

Holy bond of love.

Loyal to our land of birth

Both in peace and war,

To the College we will sing


In the filed of intellect,

Many a prize we’ve won,

And upon the field of sport,

Thomians yield to none

Be it work, or be it play,

We will do and dare

To the College therefore sing


We rejoice in victory,

When our foes we beat,

We have learnt when fortune frowns,

How to take defeat.

All unfriendly rivalry

From our lives we bar,


For all we have and are

When into the world we go,

For our life’s career,

As the call of duty sound,

We will answer clear,

Onward to the goal we press,

Guided by our star.
