Prof Edmund Frank, Vice President of JAAI arrived at noon here on Saturday, May 05, 2023.

We proceeded to Loyola High School, Margao where we had an impromptu and informal meeting with a few of the Managing Committee Members of LESA.

Later we had a meeting in the evening at my place where Mr. Francis Xavier da Costa, Past President of JAAI WEST ZONE participated

It was a meaningful deliberation ranging from our role over the next three years and thereafter culminating in the National Congress at Goa.

Fr Castellino Memorial Basketball Tournament was a success and a buzzed atmosphere. Senior ex students recalled the basketball court and atmosphere of yore.

11 teams took part in the tournament .

In the Girls Final Sharda Mandir got the better of Fatima Convent while in the Boys side never say die attitude of Loyola High School couldn't get through the rock solid Don Bosco school Panjim .

The knock out games were thrilling to say the least .

All teams worked very hard .

We would like to Thank all our sponsors .

A special mention to our ex student Mr.Rahul Rodrigues  whose company Squarecut Sports Solutions that completed the spanking new basket ball turf as well.

Th committee of Loyola High School Alumni Association (LESA) 2019-21 had approved a project to improve and digitalise our school labs .Covid induced time delays sadly delayed this project .
Towards the end of the committee's tenure one of LESA's  wellwisher Mr. Leo Pereira from L& L builders ( who has always helped LESA in it's projects) helped us to fulfill our vision to modernise and upgrade the science laboratory and meet high standards.

We had a meeting with Fr Jimmy and decided that the labs had an urgent need for

• 10 microscopes.
• 1 high end microscope for the teachers who could update their Pcs / laptops with data .
• 3 desk top computers with UPs

Mr. Leo Pereira volunteered to sponsor those items. Today Mr Leo's son Mr. Ribeck Pereira handed over the items .

Our old commitee 2019-21 and present commitee 21-23 were present. Fr  Willy SJ graced the occasion and Fr Jimmy SJ presided over the event.

Today 22- sept- 20 , the Loyola Ex Students Association joined hands with the Rotary Club Margao Midtown for a blood donation drive at the Clube Harmonia de Margao

It was heartening to note that 42 donors braved the rains , covid and donated blood

Our two young Loyola Jesuit Priests Fr Jimmy and Fr. Orville donated as well

A special mention to our ex- student and blood doner Mr Ubaldino(tudor) Dias, who has donated over 70 times.
