Thank you all so much for your wonderful support of Founders' Day. It really was a lovely occasion, appreciated by the boys and staff alike. A real carnival atmosphere prevailed and it bonded the Falcon family greatly. The weather played its part and the competition was fierce, as it always should be - congratulations to Tredgold on their victory.
The final results were:

We also won the Interschools' Athletics on Wednesday. It is quite some time since we won both the relays and the individual competition. The results from that competition were as follows;

Our boys have dominated Athletics this season and I would like to compliment Mr. I. Museba for his input into the team. Several boys will compete in Kwe Kwe at the National Interprovincial for U20 and U16 boys and girls.

SOUTH AFRICAN INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS' RUGBY FESTIVAL:
Falcon will be hosting this event from the 17th to 22nd June 2010. Whilst it is the half-term break, we would like you to diarise the event and hopefully you will be able to support us. We have 9 South African and 3 Zimbabwe Schools participating. If any parent would like to assist us through sponsorship of an aspect of the Tournament, or advertise in the programme, we would be delighted to hear from you soonest at falhead@mweb.co.zw.

The second leg of the competition will take place during the third term.

SPORT DURING THE HOLIDAYS:
Many of our teams are going on tour during these coming holidays. The Hockey team is playing in the St. Stithians' Easter Festival in Johannesburg, Soccer at the International Schools' Festival in Mafeking and Basketball in a Schools' Festival in Durban. The Rugby boys will play at Cottco in the final week of the holidays.

QUEST AFRICA:
This course has been running now for 7 weeks and is proving to be very successful. The young men on the course are enjoying the experience, but exhausted as a result of how much they have to fit in to each day The first phase of their campus is now complete and it really is a shining addition to Falcon. Places are filling up quickly for next year and if you are thinking of it, you should book your son in immediately. We will have an "Open Day" in the future for parents to actually see the facility for themselves.
