The stage is no stranger to S. Thomas’ College Mount Lavinia which has been instrumental in nurturing some of the most respected names in the entertainment field through such College productions. Rally Round Rock and Roll staged its inaugural show, “Rally Round the College Flag”, in the year 2003. This first ever production turned out to be a great success in the hands of the well known  Jith Peiris, an illustrious old boy of the school. Since then, many have contributed their time and effort to showcase Thomian talent, Vinodh Senadheera being among its most ardent and committed; a name that will, undoubtedly be etched in the annals of Thomian history.

This is a joint venture embarked upon by the school and its Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) to raise funds for the Smart Classroom Project. The show comprises students from Kindergarten to College Forms as well as staff stretching themselves to the limit to ensure the highest standards of performance.
