Back For Some More

Picture
We welcomed to the staffroom today recent old boy Scot Crocker, pictured above. Scot is finishing his degree at Otago University and thinking about taking up teaching, so he has wisely decided to spend a couple of days at the chalk face to see if it is for him.

Good Results In The Capital

The results have just come through from today's sports exchange with St Bernard's in the Hutt Valley. They read as

1st XV - 49 to 3 win
Senior A Basketball - 61 to 32 win
1st XI Football - 5 to 2 loss

So at least 2/3rds of the bus will be happy on the way home this evening.

Photo From The Birthday

Picture
We have just got our hands on this photo from Brother Oliver's 100th. Pictured are all the Kiwi Brothers in attendance - Br Adrian, Br Jack, Br Will, Br Pat, Br Steve, Br David and, of course, Br Oliver. All these fine gentlemen have done significant "time" at FDMC and it was great that they could be there for the great occasion.

Winter, What Winter?

Picture
After days of short lunch hors and closed sports fields  the weather gods relented this morning and blessed us with a vista of the snow covered ranges. No wonder it is now so damn cold! 

For those of you in the "warmth" of a Northern Hemisphere be grateful that you can see but not feel this vision.

Treading The Boards

Picture
Great article in the Daily News this week on old boy Martin Quicke - click here.

Martin is living his dream of being a professional actor and will be back in Taranaki this month doing his thing. 

Currently based in Wellington we will keep our eyes peeled for more appearances on stage and screen.

A Couple Of Visitors

Picture
Having been given the day off from training it was good of Conrad and Beaudy to pop up to their old school and say hello. Having spent morning tea with the staff they did an impromptu classroom tour with Acting Principal Chris Moller which was greatly enjoyed by the students. 

Tomorrow it is back to the grindstone for the two but they can be assured there will be plenty of support on the sidelines come Saturday, no matter what numbers they have on their backs.

The Passing Of An Old Boy

Sad news in this morning in the Daily News with the notice of old boy Claude Wuest's death. Claude was at the college in the 1980's and left us at the far to young an age of 44 years. He has been farming in Winton.

Please keep Claude and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

An FDMC Score

Picture
Conrad Smith was probably not the only one who was out there celebrating Beauden Barret's first try for the All Blacks (there would have high fives in many sitting rooms across the country) but it was great that another FDMC old boy was the first there to congratulate him.

From The Archives

Picture
This photo is from the archives and has only the title "First SC Class" on the back. We assume it is the first group of Fifth Formers to take on the might of the School Certificate exam but would appreciate further details from any one who may recall that far back.
