The baby giraffe is well and we have two baby wildebeest and eighteen new impala. The male sable has settled in and a 'new' male kudu has joined the group - all animals look healthy with the good grazing.
Alan Megahey passed away after a short illness at the end of last summer. He was laid to rest in his final parish in Leadenham on 26 August 2011. As many of his former pupils and other Petreans were not able to make the funeral, a memorial service will be held at St. Marylebone Parish Church on Marylebone Road, London, NW1 5LT at 14:00 on Saturday 10 March 2012. The memorial service will be a fitting way to remember a man that had such a positive impact on not only all of our lives but also on education in Zimbabwe. If you are in touch with any other Petreans please do forward these details to them.

It was initiated by the Peterhouse Group of Schools who managed to find donations and sponsorship in order to include eleven other local schools being Ruzawi School, Lendy Park School, Chitepo School, Rakodzi School, Cherutombo School, Nagel House, Nyameni Secondary School, Tapfuma Primary, Nyameni Primary, DomboTombo Primary and St Francis Primary. In total there were approximately 1500 children involved and approximately 6000 rubbish bags of litter were collected.
Peterhouse, Peterhouse Girls and Springvale House held a Tree Planting day on Saturday 26th November 2011.
The Carol Concert was held in the Peterhouse Chapel on the evening of Monday 28th November with carols performed by a variety of Peterhouse Choirs and Orchestra. Each of the following schools performed a choral piece - Watershed College, Ruzawi School, Springvale House, Wise Owls, Marondera High School, Digglefold School, Godfrey Huggins School, Lendy Park School and Nagel House.

Peterhouse Girls Annual Show - 19th November 2011 
Foundations for Farming representatives visited Peterhouse to plant a demonstration plot in a prominent area at the school.
The leaver’s dinner and service of 2011 took place on Saturday the 12th of November. The leavers and their parents along with the rest of the school filed into the chapel to the accompaniment of the school choir. During the service Mr Davies gave a very touching sermon which was taken to heart by all.
The Springvale House PTA Fireworks event initally postponed due to heavy rain was recheduled for Wednesday 16th November. Thankfully the rain stayed away and it proved to be an entertaining afternoon and evening for both pupils of local schools and the community. Wedgwood field proved to be a good venue for this year's show as the new Peterhouse Girls dormitories are currently being built on the traditional field.
