Talk:Loyola High School (Pune)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi,
This is Vinay Khedekar, pass out of 1985 batch from Loyola High School, Pashan, Pune. I can be contacted at vinaykhedekar@hotmail.com.
We have an alumni association by the name of ELAN, Ex-Loyola Alumni Network. ELAN is having a very large number of members on the yahoo mailgroup.
All ex-loyolaites, passing out from this school, are requested to kindly contact myself or vivekpungaliya@yahoo.com for becoming members. They may also contact Girish Deshpande at banjaras@vsnl.com.
Thanks and Regards, VINAY KHEDEKAR, 1985

This article is just a placeholder as of now. It needs to talk about the following
- history of the school, how and when the institution was founded (maybe a book that talks about the history of the school is in the school library, and would serve as a reference)
- facilities available to students - especially those that were offered to students when the school started-out - like the high quality science labs and equipments, fields for different sports, library, zero hour classes (extra curricular after-school interest groups), scouts and RSP wings, music and arts/crafts.
- list of school principals (+ the duration they were in charge), and the changes they brought about (+ve as well as -ve)
- traditional strengths of the school - both in academics and sports
- liberal and secular environment
- star teachers of the past (good old days)
- prizes and honors awarded to the school and teachers. student achievements may go into the alumni section. prizes the students won when in school may be mentioned only if the prizes were spectacular - like the "First step to noble prize in Physics" - though I would recommend adding this to the school tally.
- possible degradation of the school facilities over time.
- possible degradation of the standard of education, both in academics and in sports.
- controversies - can think of a few - language (enforcing that only English be spoken on campus), punishment (kids being subjected to excessive punishment - I remember this being in the news once), sports (cricket was banned when students broke window panes of the chapel, but the school also wanted kids to concentrate on sports other than cricket).
