Student leaders receive their white blazers at the Missioning Mass.
• Staff, apart from their important work in classrooms, attended Workplace Health and Safety Meetings, a variety of professional development seminars and also began planning for the important move of our Junior Campus students to the Dom Polski Centre during the Clipsal 500 event.
From The Principal Dear Parents, Friends and Caregivers, Life is either a daring adventure or nothing! - Helen Keller
Life is a daring adventure and CBC is no exception. I am always amazed by the breadth of activities across the College each week. • On Saturday I visited our rowers at West Lakes, cricketers on the CBC ovals and tennis players on the sports field. • Monday night we hosted our Leadership Team and Board members for Mass, dinner and the first Board meeting of 2013 attended by former CBC student, staff member and now EREA regional Administrator Mr Terry Roberts.
• Our enormous army of volunteers attended both the Friends of Music meeting, Old Collegians AGM and Volunteers Induction Evening this week. • Students in Hurley and Marks Houses participated in House liturgies, our Junior students received their weekly visit from Monsignor Aitken and a group of staff and students gathered in the Chapel on Wednesday morning for our weekly 8am Eucharist. American writer Dale Carnegie born in 1888 once said: action builds confidence and courage. I am deeply grateful to God for the vibrancy of our College and for our courageous, confident, resilient and generous people who grace our presence.
Rest In Peace The College prays for the repose of the soul of John McGlaughlin, father of Br Dean, Gavin and Mark. Let us keep John and all the family in our prayers at this time.
• Tuesday and Wednesday saw over 60 families visit CBC for Principal Tours.
Justice and Solidarity
We are committed to justice and peace for all, grounded in a spirituality of action and reflection that calls us to stand in solidarity with those who are marginalised and the Earth itself.
Faith Excellence Community Compassion
Congratulations Congratulations to staff member Kate Younie and husband Heath on the birth of baby “Grace Victoria” this week.
Board Meeting The College Leadership Team and Board met on Monday night for Mass celebrated by our dear friend Monsignor Aitken. Assistant Principal-Learning Ms Rebecca Donnon presented a summary of 2012 academic results at the meeting which followed. Business Manager Mr Scali outlined the progress of the CBC Trade Training Development and it was pleasing to note construction was on time and on budget with the project destined for completion shortly after Term 1 this year.
SA Fringe Festival On a completely different note members of the CBC community have been active participants in the 2013 Fringe Festival with 6 members of staff and students participating in various ways: Students • Jordon Bocock, Year 12 student (stand-up comedy in a show called Jordon Bocock’s Day Off) • Marcus Barricelli (Year12) (Bee Gees tribute).
