Another group of boys, the Junior Natural History Group, went down to Lemco on the kind invitation of Mr. Leathem. Mr. & Mrs. Guthrie escorted the group there. The boys learnt many new skills and the report back was that they had a wonderful time, seeing Wild dog (Painted Hunting Dog) and Leopard on their outings. They also had other opportunities to learn many bushcraft techniques. I thank the Guthries for their input on this course.

Founders' Day: This Saturday 28 March - we look forward to a wonderful day of Athletics.

SCHOOL SHOP: The shop will open between 11.00 a.m. and 12.00 on Founders' Day. The smallest size tracksuits are now available.

Sadly, over this past weekend, there was once again an incident where young men were out at licensed premises. Many of those present were under age and physical violence ensued. I really would urge parents to be extremely careful about where you allow your young men to go, as it is only a matter of time before we encounter a major tragedy. It is never the true perpetrators who come off the worst in these fracas.

For those who can attend, enjoy our weekend with us.
