A Planning Session?

This photo from the archives was taken in 1962 but all old boys will recognise the mural behind the three venerable gentleman. We have identified the Brother on the left as Br Lawrence O'Toole but can any one gives us the names of the other two Brothers in the photo?

Talking Ag.

Good to welcome old boys Louis Poole and Jack Ternouth back to the College today. The guys were talking to senior students about what is available in the way of agriculture scholarships and their recent experiences at University. It is always valuable to get that sort of input from recent old boys.

A Musical Interlude

Yet another FDMC sporting achiever!

​Today our Head Boy Matthew O'Connell heads off, as one of 10 players selected from the NZ U18 Basketball squad, to attend a training camp in China. The camp is going to have a number of NBA players as mentors and instructors. We wish him all the best for an outstanding experience.

Starting The CNI

The Central North Island rugby competition got underway for FDMC yesterday with our teams travelling to sunny Wanganui to play Wanganui Collegiate. It proved a good start to the comp with the 2nd XV having a solid 19 to 0 win and the 1st XV showing a lot of flair to come away with a 35 to 21 victory.
Next up is St Peter's from Cambridge who visit the College next Saturday.

Founder's Day

Founder's Day last Friday saw the whole school celebrate mass at St Joseph's and as expected the generous donation of food for the Foodbank was a feature. It was also great to welcome Br David Hawke, Br Adrian Watson and Br Sir Pat Lynch along to share in the occasion. Br David taught at FDMC in the early 1970's and is currently in charge of the Brothers in Australia, New Zealand, PNG and Pakistan.

Can Do, Can Day

Tomorrow is Founder's Day at the College, sometimes referred to in the past as Pie Day. It would be more accurate to now call it Can Day as the tradition of gifting food, mainly in the form of cans for the local Foodbank, has gone from strength to strength.

​It would be great if Old Boys could also use this time to make a contribution where ever they may be. It's just the Lasallian thing to do.
