Basic Education High School (BEHS) No. 2 Latha (Burmese: အခြေခံ ပညာ အထက်တန်း ကျောင်း အမှတ် (၂) လသာ; abbreviated to အ.ထ.က (၂) လသာ; formerly St. John's Convent School; commonly known as Latha 2 High School) is one of the most well known public high schools in Myanmar. Located in Latha Township opposite the Yangon General Hospital and next to the University of Medicine 1, Yangon, the all-girls school offers classes from Kindergarten to Tenth Standard (until Grade 10 in the new nomenclature). The school's colonial era building is a landmark protected by the city. Kyi Phyu Shin created many videos and movies including "Little stars of future" (Burmese: အနာဂတ်ရဲ့ ကြယ်ပွင့်လေးများ) movie.

Holy Trinity Cathedral, Yangon
Holy Trinity Cathedral, Yangon

Holy Trinity Cathedral (Burmese: သန့်ရှင်းသော တြိနတိ ကသီဒြယ်, IPA: [θa̰ɰ̃ʃɪ́ɰ̃ ðɔ́ tɹḭnətḭ kəθìdɹɛ̀]) is the primary Anglican cathedral in Myanmar (Burma), located on Bogyoke Aung San Road (next to Bogyoke Aung San Market) in Latha Township, Yangon. The cathedral was designed by Robert Chisholm, a Madras-based architect, in the Indo-Saracenic style to adapt to warm and humid conditions. Construction began in 1886, with the laying of the foundation stone by Lord Dufferin, the Viceroy of India, and was completed in 1894. The pipe organ was destroyed during the Second World War and could not be restored so an electric substitute organ was installed. The stained glass windows were repaired in 2003. The cathedral is listed on the Yangon City Heritage List. The cathedral is located next to a formerly associated missionary school, Basic Education High School No. 1 Pabedan (formerly Saint Mary's School). The current Vicar/Dean, the Very Rev'd Reginald Bennett, is also on the faculty of Holy Cross Theological College, 104 Inya Laan, Yangon. The cathedral has historically strong connections with the British military regiments who were in occupation during the period of the British Empire. Here are several wall tablatures in memoriam of the deaths of many young members of the military although the well kept surrounding gardens do not contain any burials.
