House Day Activities at the Senior Campus

From The Principal Dear Parents, Friends and Caregivers,

Feast of Blessed Edmund On Friday the College celebrated the Feast of our College Founder Blessed Edmund Rice. The College celebrated a whole school Mass followed by House activities. A highlight of the Mass was the Homily given by CBC Old Collegian and Passionist noviciate Eric Nyagira. Eric spoke to students about sharing the gifts given to us by God especially with those who are voiceless.

The following letter from the world Congregational Leader of the Christian Brothers Br Philip Pinto also speaks beautifully on this theme: “Fifteen years ago I was in Rome in St. Peter’s Square at the Beatification of Edmund Rice. And I realised at that moment that what was happening

was Edmund Rice being taken from the Christian Brothers and presented to the whole world; he was now a model for the world to imitate. I felt a great pride at that moment. As I looked around at the crowd I saw people from all over the world; England and Ireland, North America – that is the USA and Canada, New Zealand and Australia, Sierra Leone, Zambia, South Africa, Kenya, India and a number of countries in Latin America, Papua New Guinea – and what amazed me was that people from all over the world had gathered to celebrate with this man.

It dawned on me that when one lives life for others the whole world sits up and notices it. As we celebrate the feast of Blessed Edmund – the 5th of May – I ask you, what are you celebrating? You belong to an Edmund Rice school but that does not necessarily mean that you are an Edmund Rice person! So what must you do to be an Edmund Rice person? I think the answer is with Edmund himself. He lived in such a way that his heart was broken open for people – we are told that he opened his whole heart to the poor – compassion – was at the heart of what Edmund was about. Compassion means opening my heart so that someone else comes into the centre – I am not in the centre of my life; someone else is at the centre of my life. When was the last time someone was at the centre of your life?

When was the last time you moved away from the centre and let someone else in?

If you really want to celebrate the feast, then I invite you over the coming days – even today, for one

Faith Excellence Community Compassion

moment, for one experience, for one situation – put someone else at the centre, see who needs you.

You belong to a group that is much bigger than the school – the Edmund Rice Network spreads all over the world, in over thirty countries, in all of the continents; can you open your heart large enough and big enough – to allow people from other parts of the world to occupy that central space – so that their needs come before your own! When you do that then you are celebrating Edmund Rice day!”

Included in this newsletter is a letter from Dr Wayne Tinsey, Executive Director of EREA. EREA or Edmund Rice Education Australia is the new canonical entity, authorised through Rome to carry on the mission and work of education formerly under the auspices of the Christian Brothers. The Brothers are still very much a part of both CBC and EREA; however their ministry has broadened to ensure their global ministry with those on the margins. EREA will now govern our schools, colleges and associated ministries guided by the mission of the Catholic Church.

Mr Ben Chambers Music Coordinator of St Mary’s College wrote

Counsellor’s Corner Reducing Stress Stress is part of life today no matter who we are or what we do. How we handle stress is the important thing.

Skills are needed and can be acquired. When things pile up on us we should avoid trying to be a super-being and take things one at a time. Resolving conflicts and seeking reconciliation by giving in sometimes, by talking things over, by taking time for recreation or just stopping to rest awhile can reduce stress. When our health is good we can cope better with stress so good eating habits are needed as well as regular exercise. During the times we need not be under stress, for example while driving to work or on the train or bus, we can take time to relax, to look around and just be for a while.

Jesus summed up his mission on earth in the words “that they may have life and have it to the full” (John 10:10) Having life to the full implies that we should not have undue stress constantly, that life is a precious gift which we should use wisely and that peace, joy, hope and love should be part of life.

I wanted to tell you how absolutely fantastic your boys were this weekend. Not only were they polite, respectful and incredibly supportive of us and the girls, they were seriously entertaining. It was such a great experience for everyone, made all the more significant because we shared with these wonderful young men. Andrew Edge will be an outstanding educator one day as well -- he was brilliant and Felicity was also very helpful and accommodating!

Mr Chambers and St Mary’s College generously assisted our Mount Gambier trip with supervision, fundraising and technical support. We also congratulate St Mary’s College on their outstanding wins in two sections of the competition.

Open Day and Marian Procession Please be reminded of our College Open Day on Sunday 19 May. Some students will be required to assist with running displays and hosting tours. Your family and friends are warmly welcome to attend. Please note all attending students are to wear full school uniform.

Please join CBC staff and students after Open Day for the annual Marian Procession which will be held on Sunday 19 May commencing at 2.30pm (assemble at 2:15pm), Pilgrim Peace Park, South Parklands between Peacock Road and Sir Lewis Cohen Avenue. This is a beautiful way to pray for world and family peace through the intercession of Blessed Mary.

If you are unable to attend the procession perhaps you could make a special effort to attend mass or offer the rosary throughout the month of May.

Blood Donation CBC has won the Red Cross Blood donation challenge 6 times in 6 successive years which is an outstanding achievement. Staff and students have again this week commenced with donations. Blood donation organiser Mr Clarke writes: This year the City Challenge Blood Donation is not based on the number of students who donate blood but the amount of different students that donate blood. Therefore students that donate blood will only count once.

We therefore encourage any students over 16 who have not donated blood to speak to Mr Clarke and enrol in our donation process.

Mother’s Day As a young boy I have memories of praying the rosary with our family each week in May. I remember asking mum why we had to pray the rosary as many of my friends didn’t. To my young mind the rosary was a mystery. As I grew into a man I found the rosary to be a gentle and contemplative way to be in communion with God. The mystery of the rosary deepened my prayer life.

As a teacher I taught my students how to pray the rosary. As a parent of two young children our prayers to Blessed Mary deepens our family’s faith life. May the blessings of the Virgin Mary and the inspiration of women in our Church be a blessing to you this Mother’s Day. We pray for young mothers, who give life and count toes and tend to our every need; May they be blessed with patience and tenderness to care for their families and themselves with great joy.

We pray for our own mothers who have nurtured and cared for us; May they continue to guide us in strong and gentle ways.

We remember mothers who are separated from their children because of war, poverty, or conflict; May they feel the loving embrace of our God who wipes every tear away. We pray for women who are not mothers but still love and shape us with motherly care and compassion. We remember mothers. grandmothers, and great-grandmothers who are no longer with us but who live forever in our memory and nourish us with their love. Amen.

Mr Noel Mifsud Principal

disorders in general are considered by many to be “girls’ diseases.”

From The Deputy Principal Boys and Eating Many myths and incomplete information exist in our culture when it comes to disordered eating. However, we know from research that if a person is to develop an eating disorder, he or she is most likely to do so during the school years. As a substance abuse prevention organization, FCD also recognises the strong ties between students who abuse alcohol or other drugs, and those who may abuse food. Knowing more about how eating disorders work, what they look like, and how they can be prevented can help us to be aware how to keep healthy children healthy as they develop and grow.

When we think of eating disorders we usually associate this with girls suffering anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. However, quite a few other types of disordered eating exist, and many people with disordered eating patterns fail to perfectly meet the criteria for any one disorder. These individuals might be diagnosed with an “eating disorder not otherwise specified,” or EDNOS. We find that binge-eating disorder (BED) makes up a large proportion of diagnoses for both men and women with eating disorders. Binge eaters are marked by eating larger than normal amounts of food and feeling that they have no control over this behaviour. Bingeing does not always lead to weight gain, especially in males who tend to have faster metabolisms than females. For this and other reasons, experts agree that eating disorders in males are under-reported. Other reasons for underreporting among males include the fact that, at times, behaviours associated with some eating disorders, like eating at high volumes during adolescence or rapid increases in physical activity and exercise, are mistaken for “normal behaviour” in males, and the fact that eating

Other types of eating disorders may surface in young people during the school years as well. People who harshly and obsessively judge themselves against unrealistic physical standards, and who will go to any length to attain them, are often diagnosed with body dysmorphia. Persons suffering from body dysmorphia, without a realistic lens, often see themselves as ugly or inadequate. Body dysmorphia is actually more common in males than in females. Boys with body dysmorphia often have a distorted view of their body size and shape.

As the name implies, they see their body as too big, too small, “not right,” or underdeveloped. Instead of starving themselves to reduce weight, sufferers may compulsively over-exercise and lift weights to modify their shape. Some also alter their diet with supplements or steroids to “bulk up.” They are preoccupied with weight to the point that it interferes with school, relationships, and other facets of their life.

Body or muscle dysmorphia can also lead to a type of disordered eating called “orthorexia,” characterised by an obsession with a healthy diet. This type of eating often becomes severely restrictive and can have a negative impact on one’s physical and emotional life. Orthorexia can also occur alongside other eating disorders, and it may be the cause or effect of dramatic changes in diet during adolescence.

It is estimated that about 10% to 30% of all eating disorder cases, and 40% of binge eaters, are males.

Clearly, eating disordered females outnumber eating disordered males. However, researchers and clinicians believe that neural pathways play a large part in the development of eating disorders. Both anorexia and bulimia are considered strongly heritable, but in addition to genetics, there are many risk factors for disordered eating that affect both genders. Individuals who are most likely to develop an eating disorder have experienced one or more of the following: • a mood disorder, like anxiety or depression, • a personality disorder, • other medical issues, such as type 1 diabetes, • obsessive/compulsive tendencies, and • trauma from teasing, loss, or abuse.

Have your say!

The school renewal survey As part of CBC’s commitment to continuous improvement we’re inviting all members of the College community to provide feedback. The College is currently engaging in a project with researchers from Griffith University and the University of the Sunshine Coast to design surveys that will support and inform the quality of education we provide for your child. A survey has been constructed which will be used in conjunction with the CBC renewal process that we undertake with Edmund Rice Education Australia every four years.

I ask that you consent as parents/guardians to participate by completing the 20 minute online survey about your experience of the College as a parent/guardian. Your child will also be invited to participate by filling out the survey online during a tutor group session class. Student participation in the survey is completely voluntary and you may consent for your child not to participate. The results of the survey will be used to gather parent, student, community and staff data to affirm current practice and inform us on areas for improvement. The results of the survey will be shared with the school community at the conclusion.

You may complete the survey at the following link http://tinyurl.com/cbcadelaide2013 The survey will be open Monday 13 – Friday 24 May.

Other factors can pose risks such as: possessing low self-esteem, often in spite of achievement; a tendency toward perfectionism; chronic dieting; a desire to be more sexually attractive; a desire to gain a competitive edge; or participation in a weight dependent sport or pastimes. It is also thought that mass media plays a significant role in influencing young people, and especially teens, to seek the thin/muscular body ideal through any means possible. It is estimated that at any one time, around 80% of young people would like to change their body shape.

As a College community we all need to be aware of the risks eating disorders can cause. As a school we have: • Age appropriate health care programs • Challenge norms about unhealthy behaviour or attitudes • Offer courses such as “Nutrition” in the curriculum • Through our health education an awareness of the implications of misusing supplements • Providing healthy, well balanced nutrition to our students As parents you need to continually monitor your son to ensure he is eating appropriately and not putting his body at risk. In order to protect students’ health and well-being, disordered eating patterns must be treated as the serious, but preventable, diseases that they are.

As students enter the teenage years they are influenced greatly by media and peer pressure and it is important that we develop healthy eating regimes. Over the years the percentage of boys with eating disorders is slowly increasing. We need to remember that all prevention efforts lead to the health of each individual and ultimately, the improved health of our entire community.

From the Counselling Team It’s called Mother’s Day, not Parent’s Day Mothering is different to parenting. Being a mum is emotional, instinctive and a job for life!

There’s a massive difference between being a mum (or dad) and being a parent.

‘Parenting’ is a twentieth century term that suggests that raising kids is a gender neutral activity. It’s a managerial, almost scientific term that has given rise to a huge industry. In Western countries, millions of parenting books and magazines are sold each year, parenting columns appear in most newspapers, and new television series appear every year focused on the modern notion of parenting.

The problem is that when we refer to ‘parenting’ we tend to remove the heart and emotion from the task.

We obscure the fact that it is mothers and fathers who are doing the child-rearing, rather than mere parents.

Parenting means different things to different people. For many people the term ‘parenting’ is code for behaviour management – particularly taming toddlers and their close cousins, teenagers. A broader and more thoughtful definition includes teaching kids positive values and attitudes, developing a range of skills that equips them for adulthood, and ultimately preparing kids to be parents themselves one day.

I often point out to audiences in parenting presentations how being related to our kids can stop us from being great parents. We all know how our neighbour’s kids should be raised, but somehow it’s harder to raise our own. That’s because the hopes and dreams of motherhood (and fatherhood) can somehow get in the way of rational decision-making.

Mothering is emotional and instinctive.

And that’s the thing. Being a mother is not always rational, as parenting is often made out to be. There is a great deal of emotion attached to the role of mother.

This emotion drives you to fight hard to protect your children, work assiduously to right any wrongs on their behalf, and exhaust yourself looking after their physical and psychological well-being. Being a mother is instinctive. In the information age we need to be careful we don’t deny the intuitive nature that mothers bring to their child-rearing. The nature of mothering infers nurturance, protectiveness and longevity. Mothering is relational rather than rational. You may outgrow parenting by making yourself redundant but mothering is something you never grow out of. You are a mum for life.

Kids want their mothers, not their parents.

Kids of all ages say, “That’s my mum!” They don’t say, “That’s my parent!” (They may say that when they are annoyed or embarrassed by you, but that’s another story.) Boys and girls of all ages generally love their mothers unconditionally, whereas they merely put up with their parents, particularly during adolescence. They can live without their parents, or so they think, but deep down they know they can’t live without the one person who has a blind spot for them, overlooking all their faults. That person, of course, is their mother. When kids of all ages get into emotional difficulty or their life

becomes too hard, they generally go looking for their mums. They only look for their ‘parent’ when they want some money, or want someone to get them out of a jam!

Raising kids is about mothering (and fathering) ... rather than parenting. That’s why we have Mother’s Day (and Father’s Day) rather than Parent’s Day. www.parentingideas.com.au by Michael Grose (psychologist) re-printed with permission Ms Jane Gaynor From the Counselling Team

Proudly supported in 2013 by –

The first game of the Junior Basketball A team was a thriller, with CBC winning by the smallest possible margin, 29-28.

With limited preparation time, and the State championships on, the CBC A team held off a determined Immanuel to take the victory. CBC controlled the game from the start leading 9-8 at the first change and taking a 19-14 lead into half time. Our boys played an excellent team game with everyone contributing. Foul trouble for two of our players, coupled with an injury to Lachlan G-A led to a few anxious moments in the third quarter as Immanuel fought back.

Nicky D. was the difference controlling the rebounds at both ends of the court and top scoring with 16 hard fought points. Lachlan G-A (5) and Jack H (4) provided good support but this was Nick Ditroia’s day, playing his best game for CBC to date.

The scene has been set, CBC Juniors have a very strong squad of talented players to choose from and very few players can assume that they are safe in the team, such is the pool of talent to choose from. Train hard, stick to the team plan and 2013 looks to be a very successful year for all 5 Junior teams. Well done Nicky!

Mr Dan McMahon Coach

Junior B Basketball CBC 48 defeated Immanuel 17

For further information e-mail: interchange@onthenet.com.au or phone: (07) 5535 2022.

The first game of the season proved quite fruitful for the Junior Bs as they made light work of Immanuel. CBC were simply fitter and more defensively aware on the morning.

A half-court defense proved too troublesome for Immanuel as CBC trapped and harassed their ball handlers. At the forefront of this was the guard tandem of Aidan Smith and Tevita Maka. Rebounding was also an area of strength, particularly that of Mitchell Taylor and Kyle French, who created many extra chances under the rim.

William Kuany was our best overall defender on the morning, constantly halting any progress Immanuel made in our half.

Ambrose Ronson, Foday Samuka and Paddy Clarke were our main finishers at the basket, running the ball in for layups often and effectively.

Well done to all.

It’s difficult to select a “best Player” as all boys played extremely well. Well done Boys!

Year 10 Football football First XVIII Football CBC 27.18 (180) defeated Rostrevor 3rd XVIII 2.0 (12) After much hype and anticipation the season finally started for our First XVIII. In windy conditions at Rostrevor we kicked into a stiff breeze in the first quarter with play being pushed to the western side. The dominance in ruck of our acting captain, James Kittel-Neill, gave great supply to on-ballers Pele Biancardi, Nick Adams and Thomas Melios-Traver (TMT). After 5 minutes of promising play we were rewarded through some excellent play from Nick Delaat, Jarrod Hancock and Thomas Pickering in the forward lines. These two players showed excellent poise and skill in difficult conditions to have CBC up six goals to nil at quarter time.

The second quarter with the aid of a slight breeze provided further opportunity for Delaat and Pickering to outplay their opponents and assert their authority. Jarrod Hancock and Bryce Clonan created further headaches for the Rostrevor defenders, as if they didn’t have enough already. Jonty Rutai at centre half back was leading a strong backline that also included Josh Dwyer, Chris Clemente, Charlie Meyer and Hayden Niscioli. Dwyer, in particular, was able to provide effective clearances from defence with the aid of the fearless Meyer and ever reliable Niscioli. Clemente was able to mark strongly if anything made it to the full back line.

Pele and Nick Adams continued to dominate around the ground thanks to the ruck work of Kittel-Neill. Aiden Curyer read the play well, Nathan Byrnes used his quick thinking and ball skills to our advantage whilst TMT ensured that no ball was left uncontested. Brady Goggins produced a magnificent running handball over a pack to set Nick Adams up for a quick goal on the run. Liam McGee, in similar fashion, produced great team play by using a soccer pass to set up another team mate for a goal. Daniel Stevenson combined with the other mid fielders to find forward targets amidst the congestion. At half time we were leading by 14 goals to no score and had the game under control.

The third quarter saw the team lift to a higher level and kick 11 goals to none. Delaat used his strength to continuously turn sharply and shrug off his opponent, whilst Pickering gave a great marking display as well as gathering the loose ball. Pele, Adams, TMT and others worked hard and brought others into the play. Jonty Rutai developed blisters from gathering possessions across half back. Charlie continued to make it difficult for Rostrevor in their forward lines whilst Bryce Clonan made sure that the ball was kept in our forward line.

In the final quarter several players were rested and others played in different positions. Jack Poole and Dane Richardson worked well from half back and midfield.

Michael Hilliker, continued to present himself to the contest whilst Eric Caluya showed how to dispose of the ball effectively under pressure. Luke Yates is always a reliable option in the forward pocket, although there were very few opportunities left over by other scorers. Sieth Anderson and Andrew Barbara contributed well at contests in the limited game time they had. Vittorio Ranaldo also made the most of limited opportunities and displayed a good instinct for winning the ball and using it effectively, as shown by his diving handball off the ground which carved up the opposition.

In summary it was an excellent first up effort by the team and the support of parents and staff who made the trip to Rostrevor was much appreciated by the players. This week the First XVIII plays Marryatville High at Marryatville.

Best Players: Pickering, Biancardi, Kittel-Neill, Adams, Delaat, Curyer, Byrnes, Rutai Goal Scorers: Pickering 10, Delaat 6, Hancock 4, Byrnes 2, Biancardi 2, Goggins, Adams, Melios Traver.

CBC 17.23 (125) defeated Pembroke 4.1 (25) Best Players: All played well Goal Scorers: Crisanti 4, Colangelo 3, Strange, Perpetua, Koulizos 2, Peterson, Nicholson 1 Despite not training the team produced an outstanding team effort to defeat Pembroke by 100 points in gusty conditions on a perfect Kensington Oval. Pembroke are the only Division 2 side we play this year so the game was treated much as a trial match, with players being rotated through all parts of the ground. Hence several players played in unfamiliar positions for one or two quarters. I was extremely impressed with the manner in which they approached this challenge.

The stand-out features of CBCs play were the ferocious tackling and attack on the ball, the willingness to play on and use space and hence the excellent use of handball, and the support of each other through shepherding and voice.

Whilst ‘all played well’ is often the attribution given when a team has such a dominating win, I can honestly report that all players contributed and should be pleased with their efforts. We look forward the Division 1 challenge of Rostrevor College this week, with our team near full strength with players returning from the SANFL U/16 competition.

Year 9A Football CBC 12.8 (80) defeated Immanuel College 6.7 (43) Best Players: M Gabrielli, B Adams, B D’Antonio, A McPherson, H Nihill, T Sarunic, D Porcelli, R Atkinson, M Cotsios, M Douglass, B Curyer, D Sangermano.

Goal Scorers: D Porcelli 2, H Nihill 2, B Curyer 2, T Sarunic 2, M Gabrilli, B D’Antonio, L Squire A McPherson

A Terrific Team Effort Sets Highest Standard For Season The season opener against the highly rated Immanuel College was a terrific game of football with both teams hard at the ball. A well prepared and determined CBC team though prevailed by 37 points due mainly to their preparedness to run hard and work for each other.

The first term saw CBC bag three goals whilst keeping Immanuel scoreless. Marvellous work in the centre from R Atkinson, skipper B Adams and B D’Antonio saw the ball repeatedly sent forward to the strong marking centre half forward T Sarunic, the opportunistic and clever half forward

A McPherson and then on to our imposing full forward D Porcelli and the electric H Nihill.

The trend continued in the second term as CBC hammered the scoreboard with five goals to just one to set up a winning break. L Squires and MCotsios gave plenty of drive from the wings whilst the rebound of defenders D Sangermano, M Douglass and J Edgington was exceptional.

With the loss of the brave R Atkinson, injured in the ruck, M Gabrielli really stepped up and took the game away from Immanuel with his high marking and long kicking. The boys tackling and pressure all day was outstanding with B Curyer leading the way. Brock’s running goal in the third term was a highlight of the day.

The lads finished off strong in the final term with goals to A McPherson and a ripper by L Squire sealing the game.

All up a wonderful start to the season as the boys stepped up in a hard fought, physical affair but one played in terrific spirit. We look forward to the blockbuster against local rivals PAC this week (at Park 9, Corner of Bundeys Road/Hackney Road, North Adelaide, 10.30am) and we would warmly invite all parents and friends to come along and support the lads.

Thank you to Mr Porcelli for goal umpiring, Mrs Atkinson for her first aid support and fellow CBC teacher Mr Tom McLean who umpired so well.

Mr Stephen Clohesy Coach

Year 4/5 Football St John/Belair 16.9 (105) defeated CBC 0/0 (0) First game of the 2013 season and well it was a tough start for the boys but we will keep our head held high and fight on. St John/Belair came out in the first quarter and opened up the play and we really tried hard to stop the flow of their offence. The second quarter by CBC was brilliant, we got our bodies over the ball and the momentum started to turn our way and St John/Belair having to defend more. The second half saw our defences open up again but the boys battled on with great spirit.

My advice to the squad is not to let this one game be of concern -- we have a long season ahead of us and we will fight on and have our successes. There were some great signs on the field today both from our players from last year but also some of the new boys that have joined the team.

Continual hard work and effort will bring the rewards the team is looking for so chins up and well done.

Great work by all!

Best Players: Matthew Cerone, Matthew Adams and Tom Brooks Thanks to the volunteers for time keeping, goal keeping and generally helping out.

Dear Friends and Colleagues On 1st May, Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA), which provides Catholic education to over 33000 students throughout every State and Territory of Australia, took another step in assuming full responsibility for schools established by the Christian Brothers. The signing of agreements to transfer accountability follows the granting of canonical and civil status to EREA as a Church and legal body in its own right.

In Australia, the Christian Brothers have, for almost one hundred and fifty years, continued the charism of Blessed Edmund Rice and created a magnificent story in Catholic education. Edmund Rice Education Australia was established by the Christian Brothers in October 2007 after many years of planning, with the intention of carrying on their educational mission into the future.

For the first five years of EREA’s story, it acted on delegated authority from the Brothers to conduct, govern and manage their schools. At the end of 2012, after an application to Rome, EREA was granted Public Juridic Person status; its own identity in the Catholic Church. In early 2013, EREA was also recognized in Civil law as a separately incorporated body.

As a result of this recognition, and because of the forward thinking of the Christian Brothers, EREA now has full stewardship and governance for the majority of its schools and educational facilities across Australia under the name of the Trustees of Edmund Rice Education Australia. At this time, EREA schools in Western Australia and Tasmania, as well as schools in the Archdiocese of Sydney and the Dioceses of Parramatta and Broken Bay, remain under the ownership of the Christian Brothers with stewardship and governance continuing to be delegated fully to EREA. In close collaboration with our Australian Church, EREA continues the mission of Jesus Christ, helping young people to arrive at the fullness of Christian life through the provision of quality Catholic education. Through excellence in Catholic education, EREA seeks to transform the minds and hearts of young Australians to build a more just, tolerant and inclusive community in educating for liberation and possibility.

As a result of these changes, staff in jurisdictions where full responsibility has been transferred, will now be employed by the Trustees of Edmund Rice Education Australia. All conditions and entitlements of staff are preserved and remain unchanged. Staff affected by these changes will receive separate and individual notice of this change in coming days.

We ask for your prayers and support for EREA at this very significant time in its short history to date as we strive to continue the mission of the Christian Brothers and, as a new entity in the Church, take our place in the Catholic education landscape of Australia.

With best wishes and much gratitude

Wayne Tinsey Executive Director
