It was a myriad colours at the annual sports day celebrations held at the Loyola Public School here on Saturday. Dressed in colourful costumes, students presented dances and skits that reflected the cultural diversity of the country, its people and tradition. Students displayed their athletic skills at various events held on the school grounds.

Chief Cardiologist of Star Hospitals, Gudapati Ramesh, said schooling in Loyola helps students to develop leadership skills at an early age.

At the end of sports day competitions, Kostka House has emerged as the overall winners while Xavier House emerged as runners-up.

Superior and correspondent Fr Amara Rao and province treasurer Fr. Dasari Papaiah were among those present.
