Motto[edit]

The Bukit Bintang Boys' Secondary School shares the same motto, but translates the meaning as 'Without God All Is Vanity'. PhilKnight (talk) 21:49, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Faculty[edit]

The faculty on the right side box should contain the number of teachers in the schools rather than the names.Also if anyone can include Information[phone number] if possible in the same section.
It's good to see more contributions, I hope the current students to also include about the school like about the school motto, song and curriculum, extracurricular activities, House system and also any photos and make it bigger.--ifesvr (talk) 20:27, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ex-student's Association[edit]

Few enthusiastic ex-students of the school have come up together in forming a combined Alumni Association; namely, 'St.Thomas' Alumni Association' (STAA). This might be the first ever alumni association to work directly from the school campus. Their online portal can be viewed over facebook and orkut.

Sports[edit]

I have removed the following paragraph from the article under 'House System'. This looks more like a sports news rather than encyclopedic knowledge. I suggest the article say about what sports are played and over the years which ones the school excels in and has won, rather than describing about one single tournament. However, if anyone feels it still should be there then probably it can do a little edit and keeping it brief.

"BATTLE OF BOSCO:SAINT THOMAS BOYS FOOTBALL TEAM

The Saint Thomas boys were always good in sports.In addition to wining countless athletic meets and inter school relays the Saint Thomas boys team were also a dominant force in rugby.But the Thomasites were having a hard time in making there mark in football. The Thomasites usually participated in the Keventer cup(Don Bosco) and the ANGLO-INDIAN cup during the late 90s and early years of the new century.The team won other tournaments but always fell short in the ANGLO-INDIAN cup.in 1998 the Thomasites team was beaten 9-0 by the all India champions Sukantanagar Vidyaniketan(SUBROTO CUP).And for the next consecutive 4 years Thomasites were beaten by Don Bosco park circus in theIr home ground in different stages of the tournament including the first ANGLO-INDIAN cup final(2001).The Thomasite and the Bosco derby was attended by large number of supporters from both sides and drew huge crowds.It was always a fierce encounter where both teams used to step up the game. But the tables were turned in 2003 as the Thomasites under coach Bimal Banerjee and captain Arjun Das developed a formidable team which beat Saint James 7-0,Calcutta boys 7-1,Don Bosco Liluah 8-0 and Saint Judes 2-0 to set up a title clash with Don Bosco in the final. The final saw the Thomasites dominating the game in the Bosco fortress ,hitting the crossbar 3 times before midfielder RUSSEL D'SILVA thumping the golden goal to put the Don Bosco school to tears.It was not the first time that Thomasites won a trophy but the battle of Bosco will be always special.Strangely DON BOSCO refused to conduct the ANGLO-INDIAN CUP in their ground henceforth. The same year the junior Thomasites went on to win the Under-13 & Under-17 version of the tournament.

The winning senior team members: coach: BB Banerjee, Defence: Gaurav Prateek, Arjun Das, Lallawmawma Rokhum, Nashre Alam Khan, Mercellino D'costa, Midfield: Alan Rodriguez, Samuel V, Eric V, Nigel Dsouza, Russel D'silva, Forwards: Ziaul Haque, rishabh mukherjee, Elron Chiodetti, Dean Redden,shilpa shetty Goalkeepers: Michael Damerum, David Benny" -- ifesvr (talk) 19:30, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
