Loyola School, Jamshedpur

The "chakra" or wheel on the left-hand corner is found in the center of India’s Tri-colour and stands for progress. The symbol on the right is the logo of the Society of Jesus - the Jesuits - which gives the universal trait of the Jesuits - being all things to all people. The symbol in the bottom left corner is a ladle from Tata Steel's blast furnace in Jamshedpur and signifies that the school is located in India’s Steel City. The symbol in the right-hand corner of two wolves drinking out of a cauldron is taken from the coat of arms to be found in the Castle of Loyola, Spain, the birthplace of Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Society. The Latin motto "IN CARITATE ET JUSTITIA" appearing on the ribbon underlining the base of the crest translates to "In charity and justice". The universal motto of the Society of Jesus is "AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIUM" meaning "For the greater glory of God".

"The Loyolean", first published in 1992, is the official biannual magazine of Loyola School, Jamshedpur. It was started due to the interest shown by the students of XII Commerce 1993 batch who were supported by the then principal Father Eric Cassel and Mrs Leela Ghose, and is the successor to an earlier newspaper called "Jai Loyola" which was discontinued in the 80's. One of the only student-published magazines in East India, it frequently deals with matters of importance for teenagers and students in general.

The magazine is edited, illustrated, designed and typeset solely by the members of the Loyola Press Club with the support of its moderator, and consists mostly of contributions from students, teachers, and alumni, along with regular reports and articles by members of the LPC. Most of its content is in English, although a few pages of Hindi articles are also present. In 2011, a digitally illustrated comic strip was added to the magazine. This trend has continued ever since this issue.

A special annual edition of the Loyolean was introduced instead of the bi-annual editions. This issue also saw the introduction of a section-wise arrangement of the magazine and 8 coloured pages to give it a more appealing identity. The Editors also did away with the previous system and also brought on board the students of Standard 10.
