Mustang Roundup

     This year's Fallon Mustang Roundup is coming up on Thursday, September 29th .   
     The Mustang Roundup is Fallon's annual community building event that brings together          students, staff and parents for an evening of fun, games and food! 
     The event kicks off at 4.30pm with a much-anticipated basketball game between students      and staff. There will be a Bollywood dance lesson in gym for adults and kids from 5.30-          6.00 pm. Afterwards, grab dinner (including plenty of vegetarian options) from one of            several food trucks parked in front of the school and enjoy carnival games organised by        Fallon's leadership students. We recommend families bring cash for the food trucks and        the carnival games. Please click here for more information. If you would like to volunteer      at the Mustang Round-up, please click here.  Please note that the school campus is          closed between 3.30-4.30pm. Students are expected to go home after school            ends and come back again with guardians at 4.30pm.

PFC Enrichment Programs

Students who did not attend the Clubs and Enrichment Fair on Friday 9/23 should check the school website for information about Student Clubs, and the PFC enrichment website for information about enrichment programs. Due to the overwhelming response, some enrichment programs will need to conduct placement tests or tryout tournaments, as places are limited. 

Students who meet the qualifications for more than one enrichment program may be asked by the PFC Enrichment Committee to select their top choice and open a space for another student if there are waiting lists in some programs.
This does not apply to programs that do not have a waiting list.
