PLEDGE & CHORUS
“India is my country, all Indians are my brothers and sisters.
I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage. I shall always strive to be worthy of it.
I shall give my parents, teachers, and all elders respect and treat everyone with courtesy.
To my country and my people, I pledge my devotion. In their wellbeing and prosperity alone lies my happiness”.
1. To East and West of that fair isle
Where the first Loreto stands,
Loreto’s banner now doth fly in many distant lands,
In sunny Spain, an Africa’s strand and Under the Southern Cross
And Westward ho, where rainbow hued
Nigara’s waters toss.
Chorus: Loreto’s banner gaily floats
In lands both East and West
Loreto’s name each girl revers
And holds it ever blest.
2. But first Loreto found a home beneath our Indian skies
Where now o’er plain and mountain peak The well loved banner files.
Loreto’s standard bearers we
In girlhood’s spring time gay
O may we e’er be loyal and true
To the school friends of today
3. And when our school days ended are
And our varied paths divide
O may the ideals of our youth
High ideals of purity, of duty and of truth
Learnt while we bore Loreto’s flag
In the sunny days of youth
Still ever be our guide;
