Falcon Foundation

What a turnout! Thank you for making this a successful day!
Prize giving will be aired and posted on Thursday 24th March as well as the raffle.

Dear Old Boys

At this time, one thing that is very difficult for a school leaver is knowing where and what they would like to do with their lives.

I would like to compile a list of professions that Falconians have got into. It would then be a wonderful thing if you would be happy for a present Falcon pupil to contact you and get advice.

This would mean that you could give back directly by sharing with pupils what is involved in your profession; which places are best to train for that specific profession and if there would be any chance of a little work experience in that line.

I believe that giving a present Falcon Pupil a foot up and helping in this way would be a great initiative and opportunity for them. The world really is all about networking and this would give current pupils a head start.

If you are at all willing, please give us the details of what profession you are in and if you would be prepared to talk to a Falcon pupil. It really would be most appreciated!

Please send replies to [email protected].

Kind Regards

Dear all,

I am very sorry to report the untimely passing of Founder Student (Oates) and long-time Board Member, Warwick Hale, over the past weekend. The following an an excerpt from an email written by Andy Laing to the Board this morning:

Warwick was a founder pupil of Falcon College, and officiated at the commemoration of the Sundial outside the Hall on the occasion of our 40th Anniversary in 1994. By then, he was already an ‘elder statesman’ on the Board. His wise and experienced counsel steered many an issue for many a year.

Warwick captured everything good in the old fashioned farming stock of this country. He really was the salt of the earth. His word was his bond. And on top of that, he was the most exceptionally decent guy one could ever hope to meet. His untimely passing is a massive blow to those who knew him, and of course to his loving family. Sue is the most amazing, caring and gentle person, indeed the most fitting partner, loving wife and best friend to Warwick for so many years.

We extend our deepest condolences to Sue and to their family.

Kind regards,

Dave van Wyk
Headmaster
