The history of LHAA reads like a rags to riches story!

​

Our 1st gift to our Alma Mater was a set of 12 Educational Cassettes. The beautiful wooden box to house these cassettes was donated by our Vice Presidents. Soon after we organised a TV and VCR for the school. 

As our next venture, we instituted a medal for academic excellence -- to be given to the student with the best results in the class X (I C S C ) exams. This medal started off by being just an ordinary metal one, now it has graduated to being made of pure silver. Soon after, in 1990-91 we initiated the Rolling Trophy to go with the medal. Consequently we have done the same for the topper of the ISC exams.

​

When Sr. Mary took over as Principal of Loreto House and the EX-Officio President of LHAA, she brought to our notice the sorry state of our Biology Lab and the amount that it would take to refurbish and renovate it. To us, with peanuts in our bank account, that amount required seemed like a fortune . But we were not to be deterred. 

The 11 a.m. break time in school saw the ladies of our LHAA selling home-made cakes, sandwiches and Rasna. We appealed to all our members and they came up trumps. It was at this point that we joined the Teachers Training Centre (TTC) in organising the Annual Fete that they had for the Junior School , and that is how our annual Christmas Bazaar was born.

Finally, we had collected enough funds! It was so thrilling to present the new Biology Lab to Loreto House !

 

Thirty three long years have passed and we have gone from strength to strength. As you read on, dear reader, you will find out more about our activities and aspirations.

Apart from projects undertaken by us directly, some extremely generous " old girls"  were most supportive and have donated towards a  new Computer Room, Domestic Science Room, a renovated air-conditioned Concert Hall and much more . One more "old girl" promised to sponsor the renovation of our concert hall.

​

Yet none of these can ever be enough! How can one ever recompense our institution that has built and nurtured the moral fibre of its students during the most formative years and has taught us to live with grace, dignity and honour through joy or adversity? One can never repay the love and care that the Loreto girls have received from our Alma Mater.
