Falcon College recently added another minibus to its transport fleet. We now have 4 mini-buses, 2 luxury Scania buses and 1 conventional AVM bus.  All the minibuses are to be given the 'Scania look'  The minibuses will be painted exactly the same as our two luxury Scania buses so they will all have the same appearance, much like the proverbial birds of the same feather.  Left: The first scania bus - setting the colour tone and appearance.

 

Craven Week 2006, South Africa
Reg & Martha Querl and 4 Falcon boys on National Duty

Reg and Martha Querl returned from a recent tour of duty.  They took four Falcon boys for the Craven Week in South Africa. The boys; Barry Stewart, Grant Simpson, Ben Grobler and Gregory Gavazzi represented Zimbabwe Schools Rugby First XV at the prestigious South African schools rugby festival (known as the Craven Week) in Johannesburg.  Although the Zimbabwe team was unsuccessful at the festival, the tour of duty. was a worthwhile experience and exposure for the boys.
