Everyone but leon like every morning at this hour hes already hard at work on his training program. Leon is here on a scholarship because the school wanted him as a member of its rugby team is a variable that still loves it so just to work hives and as i have i have a house given over church itself will close so i have to use this to. His boundless invention has earned him the nickname the winter warrior here. Loves to train at this early hour because he has the school all to in self hi. Stephen freak is just the opposite he hates having to get up so early. It does. But it gets up early so its just to prepare for that. If. They run a tight ship at Falcon College even sleepy heads like stephen have to be up early and ready by 6 am at the latest. Breakfast is only served after that done some work by most of the pupils here steven comes from a wealthy family it costs 15000. 00 a year to attend Falcon College something very few zimbabweans can forward. Its 7 oclock time for the morning roll call. Right. Brooke thorson. Leon arrives just in time even missed breakfast to keep training older students whove been selected as prefects help to supervise younger people and ensure they look presentable. Stevie dreams of being a prefect himself hes already submitted his application. All the while you guys. 10 minutes later its time for the School Assembly the headmaster with it admitted. It will continue it last night some students were throwing eggs in the schoolyard. Everybody does it food is difficult to start wondering about and so you will find it. Funny. And i expect to see those people. In my office very soon on this indias fringed. And uncomfortable silence and serious. Stephen and the others know theyve been sent here to learn how to be responsible leaders not troublemakers. Falcon college has produced many notable aluminite and ends to form zimbabwes future elites the schools motto encourages people to reach for the stars theyre to think big and work hard. Thats especially true for leon who comes from a poor family and used to attend a state school. The teachers here demand more of him youll only be able to keep a scholarship if you can keep up with his fellow students. 20 out of 30 thats the grade leon gotten his english test thats not good enough to satisfy the winter warrior. If you are looking you know. I did score during fives but todays so much at 1st is. Tradition is important here yet the school has moved with the times 2 years ago the boarding School Finally opened its doors to girls. There if they attend classes with the boys but then they head back to their own house the head girl lock the gate in the electric fence behind them the school install the fence to set the girls parents mind a tease. Theres no physical contact between boys and girls we have gotten a zation policy and the boys arent out in any of the girls house so youre not allowed up past the Tennis Courts all in your outfits. The female pupils are still in the minority at Felton College currently there are just 32. 00 girls and over 300. 00 boys stephen tried to get closer to the girls a mistake that could cost him a chance to become prefect she got acquainted to. 6. Dollars because into the house. I got told on and then miles most i was informed so she told me that i was close the 1st time anything and like this it happened because this has been ingles us a long time. At 1 10 pm lunches that this brings everyone together seniors like stephen who will be writing this School Leaving exam soon and the youngest peoples who are barely 12. But 3 boys arent allowed to join them at the table. Caning isnt the only traditional methods of discipline used here. These boys must stand here for 15 minutes in full uniform in front of everyone it serves as both a punishment and a deterrent prefects also inspect peoples uniforms getting an education here is a lesson in humility edited called. On talk shit soft stuff and when the scene its all mixed its never did. Talk someone into the funds. And it seemed as if it was. But the culprits are not the ex last night are still at large. Colleges not even 17 years old yet in zimbabwe this school in the middle of the wilderness is already something of a legend headmaster quel and some colleagues look in the archives their school stands on the side of the bush to gold mine which shut down in 1951 the miners homes were then used to House Boarding School boys and mine offices became classrooms when it opened in 1954 Falcon College was one of the 1st private boarding schools in the then british colony of southern rhodesia. In the schools early years people had little free time and they helped to clear the bush and landscape the school yard. A few clothes we used to loved the fields were flattened by bulldozers and the boys had to do planting of the fields it was in the timetable and they had certain times they had to get some press i dont know that most parents would like that so much. But thats not happening much these days after New Hampshire voted to sports leon is the star of the rugby thats why he was awarded a scholarship at Carleton College athletics is considered to be just as important as mathematics its cool to strengthen character and could be liam stick it out of competition. Not weeks ago he was really humble and you know if youve got someone who says that did occur to him to a sport and to being the best person that can possibly be you know its very always stand out. The school has changed greatly since it opened in 1954 black students like me on went to loud in until the 1970 s. Before then it was the preserve of white zimbabweans today the majority of the students are black some have scholarships but the most talk paying pupils whose families cover their fees i felt in College Teaches students the value of tolerance and cooperation irrespective of their ethnic backgrounds and thats a big challenge in a country like zimbabwe where tensions between blacks and whites a long standing. Thats because former president Robert Mugabe rules in bob way with an iron fist and forcibly drove white farmers off the land. Today the Schools Debating Club is tackling this difficult period in zimbabwes history stephen and leon are taking pot. After a military coup mugabe resigned and the sonangol became president. Yes when im dog walk with himself part of my gob is repressive regime. In the debate people take a position on this issue and defend it though its the luck of the draw that decides whether theyre for or against this is 6 issue dictated Going Forward i havent changed anything just change new names new positions but just keep the same dictate at the top it raises the weight of music did it because it is only evil is this it in its kidneys and it takes a sip and thats a bit it could someone and these are the guys thats crazy or just following visions the groom do all these things they did these are the guys these are guys in power right off of the guys that did it and you telling me and the good people. Stephen received his role in the debate by chance that hes speaking from the heart he and his family were also driven off their farm. Its friday and this weekend the pupils are allowed to return home and visit their families. Stephen goes for a ride with his father you know with money that was all sun fans now now that it needs to increase in interest. To come out. This was once their land their farm their house now they dont stand in ruins. Your good thats right your good riddance to. Much of the land lies fallow this was once the largest mango plantation in the country you know its a very Peaceful Place right now but i think if we stuck around hitcher much longer than. Wouldnt this i please fall in fact last time i was threaten to kill me. We still weve still got this problem and the country where there is still this animosity there is still difficulties and people like me coming back to resurrect places like this. That people may have taken away from home yet stephen doesnt hold that against any of his black schoolmates. They didnt do anything else they care and so their grandparents and. I get on with a lot of the people and. Their parents are telling Different Things to what i dont and i just get frustrated with them but i dont have a grudge against them. Its stevens father is fighting to get their land back hes been trying for years but so far without success. Leon is also visiting his family they live in bruno whale zimbabwes 2nd largest city not exactly the nicest part of town leone father was a Police Officer the Government Office apartments in these buildings to Civil Servants like him the flats could definitely do with some renovation work. This woman her family share the cramped 4 room apartment with liams family leon has to walk through one of their rooms to get to rezone living room. His father and his statements are proud of him leone his 2 brothers and one sister the mob lead to success and the many medals hes won playing rugby. You know im. Pretty they still go with me ill be able to hit a school fees. Cause is that its cheating defame me oh i ever made it such a school you know joe has been like thats now on changed. When hes home on the weekends leon helps out with the gardening the tenants in this block of flats can offer a little plot to grow vegetables leones mother was a lot of lawn. The garden helps to feed the family they can only dream of owning a farm yet leon still thinks the expropriation of white owned farms its wrong. This is. His lenders often. As i dont think that. This deal off of. The fruits in the 5th. Assistant i dont think theres a cool day off offs olds. Thing in our nation tree in. Harare the capital of the bob way Stevens Family has lived here ever since they lost their farm stevens father ben free for now works as a human rights activist. Its time to buy groceries for the weekend stevens parents are always shocked at the prices. 25. 00 for half a pound of butter. Almost 10 for a liter of juice. 17. 00 for a bag of rice in the shops the free throw feel the full brunt of them bob with economic crisis they have no choice but to buy some staple foods but theyll do without the granola for 18. 00 a bag. Or in the subset to resupply. They have to buy money on the fact markets to be able to treat restart their shops. Well thats a perfect thats thats thats all to do with safety its all to do with lack of trust because weve done weve got a government that is able to match is still money from our Bank Accounts so i hope to steal all forms of savings to whatever it was. Notating is also complicated in zimbabwe bond notes known as zim dollars are the official currency but store owners prefer to accept the real us dollars and are often willing to offer better prices in exchange ben free pays with bond notes whose value has plunged recently. Zimbabwes economic crisis is affecting the entire country. In college included so here they are once again digging for gold. The old mine on the School Property was shut down almost 70 years ago back then its gold reserves were so depleted that mining here was no longer profitable but now that money has become so scarce in zimbabwe the prospect of reopening the mind looks promising headmaster quel needs money to purchase food and gasoline for the school and to pay the teachers salaries. Its another even you source that that you know the school that i know of has and and that would make it easier for us to run the school so this expression in and what youre doing here is is exactly what we what the Economic Situation is brought. Its still unclear how much revenue the mine will generate the school is hoping itll bring in a 6000. 00 a month its clear that there is still gold here the mine workers have discovered a few grains amongst the fine gravel they use mercury to extract the gold. Its monday and all the pupils are back at Felton College the school year is drawing to a close soon leland will learn if hell be allowed to stay here and stephen will discover if he gets to be a prefect. A few of the boys are going into the bush today here theyll have to prove they can survive in the wilderness on their own. Police on a poor city kid its his 1st such adventure. They dont have to drive far Felton College its the rounded by bush its part of a nature reserve which belongs to the school. District court to deal with only a map an accomplice to guide them the boys must find their way to their goal before nightfall the rugby coach who doubles as the School Survival china gives them some final tapes beyond the winter warrior is suddenly quite subdued hes afraid of snakes. When you come they do come across their stacks or anything that could cause you off with generally very more fair of you than you know the you all of it so just avoid it as best you can if its that the on off walk around it but if its you know coming towards you and wants to harm you obviously then you can use the stick just push it aside but always read on a harmony thing off its just like often. Then the boys are left to their own devices and leon of all people has the job of going ahead and keeping an eye out for snakes. Learning how to survive out in nature is part of the curriculum i felt in college this time they dont encounter any snakes the biggest problem is the chilly weather its just 15 degrees celsius get theyre all wearing shorts so the boys are happy to reach the destination before dark. Even the winter laryea khan hyde is relief so no ones complained about the cold the boys have proven themselves and leon has conquered the fear but we cant understand how people can love being out in the wild. While his crew comes out in the bush. Its a night like any other photos back at school peoples weights in front of the house mouth as. Office he checks whether that done their homework properly because you get prizes are awarded for Outstanding Achievement but pupils whove received 3 warnings for misty means you get kane twice in the buttocks music one thats also a longstanding tradition here which generally has parenting approval. I want you to get out of. That most of the parents here are very supportive and there was another school in zimbabwe that recently did away with painting and my understanding was that the vast majority of the period party were up in arms that actually the way they want the Corporal Punishment system. And he says paintings are relatively rare. Tonight everyone goes to bed without having to be disciplined. The next morning the headmaster has finally found out who threw the eggs. They were sick for boys who were who werent really thinking they had a fight and of course all of those easy to jump on the wall but the great thing for me ultimately is that they came forward they cleaned up the image at the end of the day and hopefully just hopefully theres something from it. Producing good then responsible citizens is one of the boarding schools major educational goals. For today these peoples are going to collect trash. Steven is among them. At this time but cleaning up a small village voluntarily to give Something Back to society. Though it might also and stephen a bonus point a to b. In his quest to become a prefect. In a country where political tensions are running high Felton College is its pupils to pitch in and help others. Darkness has fallen and for stephen its a night to remember. Its. Not. Jaded tonight hes leaving the evening roll call for the 1st time because today he became the prefect his dream has come true now stephen is the one who gets the money to other peoples closets in his new position brings with it power and respect. After roll call he instructs juniors to come to the common room there he supervises them and if need be helps them with their homework. On the dot of 10 its bed time. I phone why this spirit stephen is now in charge of this to. I thought. The singing of the national man from mt the start of a new day and a very special its the end of the school year and report cards are being handed out many parents have come to watch.
