The Old Falconians’ Union
The Old Falconians’ Union was founded over seventy-five years ago to promote goodwill and fellowship amongst former students of and to provide financial and other support to the School. Many past students retain and develop a genuine interest in the affairs and well being of their School and their contemporaries. They also take great pride in the success and achievements of current students. In practical terms the OFU stands to promote the interests of the School and to assist with donations, prizes, gifts and awards. Aside from this, membership is a great way to keep in touch with former colleagues
