5/10/2013 0 Comments Old Boys SuccessIn keeping with our desire to publish news about old boys we have the article below on recent old boy Ben Schaare (left). The article is taken from the Victoria University web site. With a family tree dominated by the armed forces, it’s no surprise that Ben Schaare has been awarded a Defence Force Freyberg Scholarship.

5/8/2013 0 Comments One Of ManyPictured above is one of the many tries the FDMC 1st XV scored against the Hato Paora 1st XV in their 107 to 0 win today. The game was played over lunch time at the College and the Hato Paora boys, although out sized and out played, did themselves credit with their attitude and desire to keep chasing. Of note for old boys was the fact that two of their number helped officiate the game. Paul Williams was the ref while Willie Johnston patrolled one touch line. Next week sees another game at the College when the boys take on a much stronger Palmerston North Boys High School side. 5/6/2013 0 Comments Old Boys NewsThe new term is under way and we have developed a strategic goal for the next ten weeks - we want to include a lot more news about past students and what they have been up to. You can help by dropping us a line and telling us what you or your mates have been doing. Todays featured old boy is Owen Walthew, who has been training at Travel Careers and Training in Wellington. They thought enough of him to send us this photo and the description below. So if you don't want us asking your employer what you are up to get in first and email us some news. I just wanted to share this photo with you, this is your ex student Owen Walthew who studied with Travel Careers and Training in Wellington. Owen studied the Advanced Airline Travel and Tourism course with us, and he has gained a job with Skycare (who look after JetStar’s flights) as an Aircraft Loader at Wellington Airport. 5/3/2013 0 Comments Saving On RazorsLiam Coltman is an old boy with a bit of a difference. His chosen "look" is not the norm for a budding front rower but it is not that way out once you have met Liam's dad Tom. Each to their own we say and it was good to see Liam getting a bit of positive attention in today's papers. Some of the article is quoted below or you can read the whole thing at Liam Coltman - Hairy Hooker. The Highlanders hooker has been one of the franchise's finds of the season, albeit a season that has started with eight straight losses. 5/2/2013 0 Comments Leaving A MessageWith the school holidays playing out over the last two weeks we are afraid we have been a bit slack at maintaining our posts. We would welcome any news from old boys so this blog does not just become a record of what is happening at FDMC. You can, of course, email us with news or feedback but we have also added a message wall on this sites front page where you can make a statement or ask a question.
