The year-long Golden Jubilee Celebrations of Loyola School, Trivandrum was inaugurated by Dr. G. Madhavan Nair at the indoor stadium on 4th June, 2011. Shibu Baby John, Minister for Labour, delivered the presidential address.

The former chief of ISRO said that he envied the students of Loyola, who were lucky to have studied in one of the most prestigious schools in the city. Shibu Baby John was vocal in sharing his memories of the school. He urged students to make good use of the facilities of the school, admitting that he himself couldn’t do the same.

The Chief Postmaster General, Shoba Koshy, released a ‘special cover’ in the school’s honour. Shoba spoke about the importance of special covers in the modern day. She said that the school was chosen for its meritorious achievements and its immeasurable contributions to the society.

Fr. Varghese Anikuzhy S.J. presented a brief history of the school. Fr. Joseph Edassery SJ, Vice Principal of Loyola, Fr. Joye James SJ, Rector of Loyola Institutions, Alex Ajith Philip, Secretary of LOBA, Shijo Sunny, Staff Secretary and Dr. Binoy S. PTA President also spoke at the function.

 

This was followed by a few cultural programs by the students. The icing on the cake was ‘Piece de resistance’ – a 25 minute documentary on the school. Apart from jogging down the memory lane, the documentary featured some of the former students who excelled in various walks of life, including award winning filmmaker Santosh Shivan, Nanotechnology Professor Pulickal Ajayan, adman Pratap Suthan, RCC Chief Paul Sebastian, former principal of Kottayam Medical College Jyothikumar and many others.
