his boundless and vision has. the winter here. to train at this. because he has the school. students just the opposite he hates having to get. does. but i mean it right gets up early so this just to cook if. they run a tight ship that falcon college even heads like stephen have to be up early and ready but 6 am at the latest. news. breakfast is only served after that done some work by most of the people here stephen comes from a wealthy family it costs $15000.00 a year to attend falcon college something very few zimbabweans can ford. it's 7 o'clock time for the morning roll call. thorson. leon arrives just in time he even missed breakfast to keep training older students who'd been selected this prefects help to supervise younger peoples and ensure they look presentable. stevie dreams of being a prefix himself he's already submitted his application. well you go. 10 minutes later it's time for the school assembly the headmaster admitted. it will continue again last night some students were throwing eggs in the schoolyard. everybody knows that food is difficult it was times about. so you will find it. funny. not speak she goes people. in my office facing all of this is simply a spinster. and uncomfortable silence ensues stephen and the others know they've been sent here to learn how to be responsible leaders not trouble nicholas. falcon college has produced many notable in the night and aims to phones in bob ways future leaks the school's motto encourages people to reach for the stars they're to think big and work hard. that's especially true for leon who comes from a poor family and used to attend a state school. the teachers here demand more of him you'll only be able to keep a scholarship if you can keep up with his fellow students. 20 out of 30 that's the grade leon gotten his english test that's not good enough to satisfy the winter warrior. you're looking at you know you are not that abscess are did scored in fives but an ace so much as a serious. tradition is important here yet the school has moved with the times 2 years ago the boarding school finally opened its doors to girls. free 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. there's no physical contact between boys and girls we have gotten a zation policy and the boys aren't out in any of the girls house so they're not allowed up past the tennis courts all. 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 a cane to. 6. dollars because into the house. i got told on and miles most i was informed so she told me that it was close the 1st time anything and like this it happened because there's hasn't ingles yes a long time. at 1 10 pm lunch is served this brings everyone together seniors like stephen who will be writing this school leaving exam soon and the youngest people who are barely 12. but 3 boys aren't allowed to join them at the table. caning isn't the only traditional methods of discipline used here. these boys must stand here for 15 minutes in full uniform in front of everyone except as both a punishment and a deterrent prefects also inspect people's uniforms getting an education here response a lesson in humility had it called. on talk shit soft stuff and when the senior told me to thirds i never did. chuck someone into the front. and it seemed like the d.p. it was. but the culprits who knocked the eggs last night are still at large. and falcon college is not even 70 years old yet in zimbabwe this school in the middle of the wilderness is already something of a legend in mass to quell 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 mines 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 school's early years people had little free time and they helped to clear the bush and landscape the school yard. pupils 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 go in groups i don't know that most parents would like that so much. but that's not happening. these days off to new hampshire foetid to sports leon he's the star of the rugby team that's why he was awarded a scholarship there at health in college athletics is considered to be just as important as mathematics it's cool to strengthen character and could be liam's ticket out of poverty. we just really humble kid and you know if you've got someone who says that did it catered to the sport and to being the best person that can possibly be you know it's very always stand out. the school has changed greatly since it opened in 1954 black students likely on weren't allowed 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. fountain college teaches students the value of tolerance and corporation irrespective of their ethnic backgrounds that's a big challenge in a country like zimbabwe where tensions between blacks and whites a long standing. that's because former president robert mugabe ruled in bob way with an iron fist and forcibly drove white farmers off the land. today the school's debating cup is tackling this difficult period in zimbabwe's history stephen and leon are taking pot. after a military coup mugabe resigned and the sonangol gla became president. yet when on god was with himself part of mugabe's repressive regime. in the debate people who take a position on this issue and defend it though it's the luck of the draw that decides whether they're for or against this is exceptional dictated the going forward haven't changed anything just changed new names new positions we just keep the same dictate at the top it raises the weight of music to because there's been so many people would see that this is this is the end it's clear even to this is and that's a bit was that it could someone is the guys that's created all this fall and this is the group the all these things they did these are the guys these are guys all right now of the guys that did it and you telling me that they could feel. that it. even received his role in the debate by chance. yet he's speaking from the heart he and his family were also driven off their farm. it's friday and this weekend the pupils are allowed to return home and visit their families. stephen goes for a ride with his father. that was also on finance now now that he did so and he didn't just. come out. this was once their land their farm their house now they don't stand in ruins. your good that's right you would be here. you know. much of the land life fallow this was once the largest mango plantation in the country you know it's a very peaceful place right now but i think if we stuck around hit you much longer it wouldn't be so peaceful in fact lost on others that i threatened to kill me so we still we've 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 doesn't hold that against any of his black schoolmates. they didn't do anything now as their parents so they grandparents and. i get on with a lot of the people and. their parents to tell them different things so what i've done and yeah i just get frustrated with them but i don't have a grudge against them. that's stephen's father is fighting a court to get the land back he's been trying for years but so far without success . leon is also visiting his family they live in bruno whale zimbabwe's 2nd largest city and not exactly the nicest part of town leon's father is a police officer the government office apartments in these buildings to civil servants like him the flats could definitely do with some renovation work. here. this woman and her family share the cramped 4 room apartment with me and family leon has to walk through one of their rooms to get to his own living room. his father and his siblings are proud of him leo and his 2 brothers and one sister they marvel at his success and the many medals he's won playing rugby. you know. if the years go to me i'll be able to get a school fees. cause is that it shared in the family oh i ever made it such a school you know joe has been like that now i change. when he's home on the weekends leon helps out with the gardening the tenants in this block of flats can offer a little talk to grow vegetables. millions 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 is wrong. this is. his legacy africa. is i don't think. this thing off of. the streets in the city. assistant i don't think there's a cold jail office else. thing in our nation today in. harare the capital of zimbabwe stevens family has lived here ever since they lost their farm stevens father ben free now works as a human rights activist. it's time to buy groceries for the weekend stephens 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 speech of the full brunt of them bob with economic crisis they have no choice but to buy some staple foods but they'll do without the granola for $18.00 a bag. or in the subset to resupply. they have to buy money on the back narcotics to be able to treat restart their shops and. support. it's it's it's all to do with safety it's all to do with lack of trust because we don't we've got a government that is able to actually steal money from our bank accounts so he will just steal all forms of slavery still whatever it was. no pain is also complicated in zimbabwe bond notes known as zim dollars of the official currency but store owners prefer to accept real u.s. dollars and are often willing to offer better prices in exchange ben free pays with bond notes whose value has plunged recently. zimbabwe's 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 it's 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 . it's another even you source that that 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 we're doing here is is exactly what we what the economic situation has brought. it's still unclear how much revenue the mine will generate the school is hoping it will bring in $6000.00 a month it's clear that there is still gold here the mineworkers have discovered a few grains amongst the fine gravel they use mercury to extract the gold. and. it's monday and all the pupils are back at fountain college the school year is drawing to a close soon leone will learn if you'll 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 they'll have to prove they can survive in the wilderness on their own. fully on a poor city kid it's his 1st such adventure. they don't have to drive far felton college it's the rounded bible she is part of a nature reserve which belongs to the school. district court today 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 tips beyond the winter warrior is suddenly quite subdued he's afraid of snakes. and. when you come they do come across their snacks or anything that could cause you obviously generally very more fair of you than you know they knew all of it so just avoid it as best you can if it's that the on off walk around it but if it's you know coming towards you and once you're home you're obviously then you can use a stick just push it aside but i was really on the whole of anything off it's just let off. then the boys on left to their own devices and lead on the whole 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 don't encounter any snakes the biggest problem is the chilly weather it's just 15 degree celsius get they're all wearing shorts so the boys are happy to reach the destination before dark. even the winter laryea khan hyde is relief though no one's complained about the cold the boys have proven themselves and leon has conquered his fear but we can't understand how people cannot be out in the wild. while his crew comes out to the bush. it's a night like any other for those back at school people's weight in front of the house moths. office he checks whether that done the homework properly and you get prizes are awarded for outstanding achievement but pupils who've received 3 warnings for misty means you get kane twice in the buttocks music one that's also a longstanding tradition here which generally has a parent an approval. i want you to get out of. it 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 parent body were up in arms that actually that. they want the corporal punishment system. and he says paintings are relatively rare . tonight to 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 in who weren't really thinking they had a fight and of course all of those ended up 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 something from it. producing good and responsible citizens is one of the boarding schools major educational goals. today these peoples are going to connect trash. stephenie's among them. and if this time they're 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 has its pupils to pitch in and help others. darkness has fallen and for stephen it's a night to remember. they're not. jaded tonight he's leading 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 people's closets 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 it's bed time. stevens now in charge of this to. out. the singing of the national man from mark the start of a new day and a very special it's the end of the school year and report cards are being handed out many parents have come to watch. the awards ceremony. trophies are given for top marks and outstanding extracurricular activities. there's also

prouder. good morning everyone i'm outside always holds the end of your speech this time it's the headmistress of another school she makes everyone aware that falcon college is no warden or replace.
