The Farewell Assembly of the college prefects was conducted on the 10
th of April 2026. The day started with a farewell service for the outgoing school prefects followed by an assembly. The assembly started with a reading of 100 years at Mount, read by Hasan Rasheed, a college prefect of S. Thomas’ College and it was followed by a prayer by chaplain Samuel Ponniah before the distribution of the tokens of appreciation. This day was filled with sadness for those who left but also gave hope as it was a start of a new chapter of their lives transitioning from schoolboys to men of society. Warden Asanka Perera’s speech spoke about the emptiness of College after this day but also spoke about the importance of proper conduct and discipline. Although this day marked the end of
another batch of school prefects, it reminded all schoolboys of how fast school time flies and how they must cherish every moment that they have, as said by outgoing head prefect, Kieran Lawrence. The event was brought to a close with the college song played by the Thomian western band, marking the end of the tenure of the college prefects.
