ANNUAL REPORT "During the last year further improvements have been made in the School Grounds. Paths were put down and many trees planted and they certainly added much to the beauty of the place." (Quote from the School Annals 1933, fifty years after the school commenced.) Surely the most significant physical event at C.B.C. in 1982, a further fifty years later, has been the building, renovation and beautification programme. For this we are indebted, and pay thanks to Br. Kevin McMaster, who set the plans in motion during his brief stay in 1981. A new Science Wing, a spacious Administration Block, renovated classrooms and other minor alterations have, by their construction, and now by their use, influenced the lifestyle of all at C.B.e. this year. Despite the changing face of the school and the hustle bustle and noise which accompany building projects, I feel that the real significant events which have characterized 1982 for us have been those which have deeply affected the attitude and thinking of the total e.B.C. school population. The real challenge which this school has set itself, and with which I feel it is coping admirably, is the challenge to adapt, in a controlled manner, to meet the needs of the 1980's. Changes can be difficult to live through. Certainly the staff, parents and pupils of this school have faced squarely the challenge of change, and continue to reassess what C.B.e. is doing at present and what it needs to do, to best serve its population in the years to come. "This process of adaptation is initiated and sustained by the total school community, essentially, students, parents, teachers, school principal and the wider community of the school's locality." (Schooling for 15 & 16 year-olds. School Commission Report 1980.) The same report also says that, "The test of an adaptive school is the degree to which its practices change to meet the needs of the students." During the year a special Curriculum Committee was set up to study what C.B.C. was doing. This Committee further set up a Steering Committee to study the aims of the school. The Aims of the School are now in their fourth draft after being studied by the Curriculum Committee, the staff and then by the pare.nts. Numerous meetings have been resulted in parents and staff combining to plan for e.B. e. to adapt to meet the needs of our students. The process and the co-operation experienced during this venture has, for me, been the highlight of 1982. All the hard work that goes with teaching and extra-curricula activities has continued, but besides this the staff and many parents have thrown themselves whole-heartedly into studying and writing reports, and planning a total Curriculum for this school, in this time. The process is still in its infancy despite all that has been done. It is important that we retain all that is good in our present system and combine this to what is needed. It is essential that we value what has been done by previous pioneering generations for us. However, we must do more than remain where they have placed us. The present aim is to involve the various bodies within the school to plan for the future of <;>ur students.

Spiritual and Religious Development As a Catholic School, our over-riding obligation is to the spiritual and religious development of the students. To properly discharge this obligation, it is necessary to provide an integrated programme of instruction in the faith. To this end, each student in the school takes part in the Religious Education programme which is an integral part of the life of the school. The Religious Education classes are taken by members of staff, brothers and lay teachers, the responsibility for whose programmes and activities comes under the umbrella of the Religious Education co-ordinator. A number of our teachers have availed of the opportunity of in-service training in Religious Education. I wish to express my appreciation to these teachers whose dedication is indicated by their willingness to sacrifice a considerable amount of their own time during the year to be better equipped for the religious education of our students. We urge parents to also become involved with brothers and lay teachers in this study programme, and in the imparting of Religious Education within the school. Christian Worship plays an indispensable role in the life of this Catholic school. I acknowledge here the blessing that is ours in the ministry among us of our Chaplains, Fathers, Chauncy, Dowd, Harris, and particularly Fr. Max Davis from R.A.N. Leeuwin, the Oblate Fathers and Fr. Joe Parkinson from Rockingham. Weekly Masses, daily prayer, class Masses, camp liturgies, regular reconciliation services all combine to give the school a thoroughly Catholic atmosphere, thanks to our chaplains and our staff.


opportunity to exhibit and develop responsibility. None of this will be easy. It is all part of that change, that adaptation which we feel is for the benefit of our students and as a school community we have decided to adapt in this direction of student responsibility and parental involvement. It is our hope that those students who are leaving the school accept their responsibility as Christians and as past pupils of this Catholic school to go out into the world to do the Lord's work and to spread this good news. A particular wish of future blessings go to Br. Tony Shanahan who has influenced pupils, staff and parents of this school. Brother has won the respect and admiration of all and we thank him for all he has done for us. We are sadder for his leaving but better for his four years of involvement at e.B.e. I wish the Peace of Christ to come to all families during the holy season of Christmas. Br. P.B. Kelly (Principal)

1983 Many initiatives have developed during 1982 and 1983 promises to be an exciting year as these ventures develop. Mention has already been made of the study of the Aims of the School and this study will continue with student involvement in this area. A Task Force will be set up comprising parents, staff and recent old boys to study the present school curriculum and then to advise the head-master as to possible directions for development. The Alternative Course is beginning to assume more importance in what has traditionally been an academic school curriculum. Special Music, Drama and Art should soon have an impact on the curriculum and give it a dimension which it once had in this school. A major thrust by the school in the coming year is to involve parents in the decision-making processes of the school. An adjunct of this process is to involve students in decisions which immediately involve their well-being in the school. It is planned to give students far more

NANGA BROOK CAMP It was a Wednesday morning and 8W students started arriving with sleeping bags, food and other equipment for the camp. Everyone was talking about what they were going to do. The excitement grew as Br. Wedd started the bus and with a few rowdy comments we were away. ' On arriving at Nanga Brook we found it to be a cleared area under some pine trees. The only sign of man were a dirt road, and some large pits (rather unpleasant) with wood walls around them serving as toilets. The first . thing when we got off the bus was to eat lunch, followed by the ritual of putting up the tents which was done easily, almost. Everyone was up late that night "raiding tents" and taking prisoners. Br. Wedd soon put an end to it at about 10.00 pm. That night it was brass monkey weather squared and that's cold! Next morning I got up, defrosted slowly and then tucked into a hearty meal of sausages, chops and chips cooked by our cooks Matt Faky and Steven DeVos. We had a small prayer with all the class and then went about discovering about the world of stringy bark, boab nut, cooee leafed trees and other assorted Australian trees. At about midday we all swam in the river for a couple of hours. When we went back to camp, which was 200 ~etres up the track, we had tea. After this we had a game In the bush where a bunch of kids with torches had to protect this lantern from other kids trying to touch it. It all went well till I managed to lie on an ants nest. After that game finished, we all went and sat around a fire and each group started to discuss that night's hike which started at 10.00 pm. It was a disaster from start to finish. Br. Wedd drove around here and there trying to confuse us. He did! When we got out of the bus, he told us about the hypothetical nonplanet star which is travelling East. When the sun's over Peking and the Prime Minister's sisters, nephews, uncle's dog, called Ollie, buries his bone, this star will be pointing South. We were lost but not as lost as some. We were found, eventually. Nothing much happened next day but that night we did some skits before bed. We left early that day to reach home.

CAMP -

NANGA

The 8's camp on July the 16th. Half our class went on a camp. At first it was noisy and everyone was pushing and shoving trying to get a good seat. Paul Cattalini and Terry McDermott were singing 'Ebony and Ivory' and any other song they could think up. Paul promised he wouldn't talk until he got to the camp but that promise was just a little out of reach for him. He started singing about fourteen km's from camp. Once we got to camp we had to set our tents up and pick our camping spot. After clearing the area we decided to have a honky nut fight but it never really got started because hardly anyone could find any honky nuts. Later on we tried to make a fire but with the help of Shawn Whitehurst it never got started. After we made our tea it was toasted marshmallows but a couple of marshmallows of mine fell in and then they were really toasted. The next day we went canoeing. Six of us fell in. It was really bad for me because not only did my canoe and paddle go down the river but so did my pair of sport joggers and my shorts were slowly falling off. Luciano helped me out because my kayak was half filled with water. It took us more than an hour to get upstream and two minutes to get down again. At night we had the lantern stalk and we had checked that area for mushrooms but we didn't check enough. I put my chin in cine of the mushrooms and it swished on my leg. On the way home the next day we sang songs and ate biscuits, chips and whatever wasn't eaten on the camp but overall it was a good camp.


GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN! "I'm on a mission from God" These often over-quoted words from the film "Blues Brothers" contain the essential meaning of a camp held in August this year at the Star of the Sea camp site outside Mandurah. For last year's Year 12 students, it was coordinated and run by Br. Shanahan and Br. Leek, with loads of helpful assistance and advice from Br. St. John. It was stressed in the initial letter sent out that the sessions were the main reason for the camp, and a school reunion was secondary. The camp was designed not merely as a reunion, but more a time to stop and look at where we were going and what we had done since leaving school- something you rarely take time to do in the hurly-burly of everyday life. The weekend involved many informative exercises and everyone benefitted enormously from it. By the way, there were two girls and about twenty guys. But don't jump to any conclusions. It was an exhaustive weekend in more ways than one and we discovered a lot about our old classmates that in other circumstances, we would never have realised. One of the first sessions we had involved going round the group and talking to each other and saying what were our best and worst experiences in the period oftime since leaving school. It was a good time to air our thoughts and feelings and compare them to other people in the same situation. Another exercise we took part in was a reaction to words. Two words opposite in meaning were hel9 up at each end of the room and we had to stand closer to one word or the other depending on how you felt about it. If you felt very strongly you would stand right next to the word, not so strongly further away, and so on down the line. A few examples were: hot-cold, rich-poor, youngold, etc. Certainly the most interesting session on the camp was conducted by Br. Leek. Everybody had to close their eyes and try to imagine themselves, firstly as a tree stump, then a log cabin and then a stream. While all this probably sounds very weird, the results are amazing. By telling Br. Leek what sort of tree we were, for example, he could help us draw conclusions as to how we were feeling inside and what sort of person we were. It was like waking up from a crazy dream and having it all explained. One example was a guy whose tree stump was a barren, desolate area with nothing growing around it - this was much like his life; he had begun working in a bank, and found it very boring and the people very cold; his life was as lonely as the tree stump in his dream. It was fascinating how our day to day living affected those images and that session was and still is being talked about by many of us. Another exercise on the camp was to draw a line of how our life had been since we were born, to the present day. Along the line we had to draw in (by use of colours, etc.) what thing had had an affect on our life and how strong the affect had been. At the end we discussed our drawings and found a number of. comparisons. Everybody found it very interesting. . Saturday night climaxed with Confession and the celebration of the eucharist with Fr. Joe Parkinson from Rockingham. If you had never experienced Christ in this way, it was an unforgettable moment. Even if you had ,

the spirit that was present in t,hat tiny room was alive and exciting. The rest of the night was filled with various frivolities and most of us fell into the sack long after one o'clock. Hence on Sunday morning we ran out of coffee. Most just suffered in silence! As I said in the beginning, stress was placed throughout the weekend on what role God had, and did play, in our lives. This was a vexing question that posed a crucial response from each individual. But it was generally found that love or hate Him, you couldn't do without Him. The pleasing aspect of the camp was the mature way everybody conducted themselves during the sessions. It was a moving experience to feel the warm atmosphere generated by everyone's earnestness to participate and contribute in their own, but unique, way.

YEAR 11 CAMP A CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE FRIENDSHIP KIND A week before the Term One exams, the Year Elevens spent a lot of time thinking about God. This was not, however, a desperate plea for timely inspiration, but part of the programme carried out by the boys on the Year Eleven Camp. The camp was held at Baldivis at a campsite near Lake Coolongup, just east of Rockingham. The accommodation was very comfortable, with facilities such as a pool table, table tennis and basketball courts available; there was even grass between the cabins, but we weren't allowed to walk on it! The camp concentrated on Jesus Christ; what influence He has on our lives, and how He is present in the Mass. This was looked at in small discussion groups, with a few sessions each day, each session being broken up by free time. The highlight of the camp was the Mass held on the last night. It was prepared entirely by the class and celebrated by Fr. Davis the Chaplain to H.M .A.S. Leeuwin. The fact that we prepared it made it all the more meaningful for us, and the whole class showed their enthusiasm by joining in with a rousing chorus of "The Building Block" as a grand finale. "A spirit of unity" sounds a bit hollow, butit is the only way to describe the feel of the camp. One of the best sessions was an open forum in which each person (student and teacher) was allowed to say what he disliked about the class group, and what he liked about it. This required a bit of honesty and trust, but was certainly effective in bringing the class together and airing complaints constructively. Since the cooks and organisers are always thanked, it tends to become an automatic action, often without meaning, but in this case the gratitude is genuine; the whole class appreciated the tasty cooking of Mesdames Faria, Gavin, Marusco, Goodall, Hart, De Vos, Clark, and the excellent programme set up and carried out by Br. Shanahan, Mrs. Stacey and Br. St. John. The camp certainly gave us a look at another side of the people we work with daily as well as the chance to look at ourselves. A very rewarding experience. Peter Walsh


THE IONA SOCIAL There was plenty of excitement going around the years 10 and 11 as we prepared for the first dancing lesson with Iona. The mirror in Mr. Rose'meyer's room was surrounded by boys who were desperately trying to improve their looks. Most of them were thinking of the dances they would learn and the girls they would meet. The first few lessons were quite embarrasing with the boys not being acquainted with the girls and vice versa. Nobody knew much about dancing but as the weeks progressed our technique improved except for the waltz where we usually ended up out of time, out of step and out of breath. As dancing lessons progressed several people were given nicknames. One of our lads was named the "Gripper" because he was famous for holding a girl tightly for any dance requiring the standard dancing position. There was also a girl who had the hardest "bump" when it came to the progressive jive. These were the people who made dancing lessons fun. We latched on to the techniques of a couple of dances like the hucklebuck and the birdy dance extremely quickly. The birdy dance was the most impressive with the students doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that and shake your B. Finally after twelve scintillating lessons came the social. Everyone came appropriately attired and raring to show off their new found skills. Most students showed exceptional expertise when dancing with the girls. Among the tunes the D.l. played, the slow rhythm and the birdy dance was the most well received dance throughout the night. Of course, we cannot forget the flash Harry photographer in Tony Rizzo who went to great trouble in blinding everyone with the flash on his camera. Edmund Purvis Rowan Yap

BALLROOM DANCING? In February, one of our Year 12 students, Peter Collins, and one oflast year's boys Michael Heath competed in the festival of Perth Ballroom Dancing Competition. They danced in the Senior Fresher Ballroom Field (fresher is a section which is about the 4th highest rank in competitive dancing). The ranks in order of expertise are: Beginner Pre-freshers Freshers Pre-amateurs Amateurs Professionals One graduates from one rank to another by winning competitions - which is not as easy as it sounds. On this particular evening both Peter and Michael and partners were in the same heat. They danced well and made it to the finals. They had to dance the Waltz, Foxtrot, and a Quickstep. But by the time Norm Wrightson and his band got through six bars of the Quickstep the couples were exhausted. Amazingly, their heads seemed to stay up and they continued to smile. Final results saw Peter 'in 4th 'place and Michael in 6th,


COMMUNITY SERVICE One of the aims of a Catholic School is to make our students aware of community needs. When this awareness is transformed into action it is a sign that our religious faith and Christianity is well and truly working in the school. · Our Community Service Programme had its beginnings in 1981. Much discussion by all members of the staff initiated the programme and a committee was formed to carry out its aims and objectives. Many members of the community and organizations were contacted and told of our willingness to give our services. In third term we started on a small scale with Year 9 classes visiting Nazareth House, joining the elderly in singing Christmas carols to the accompaniment of the Year 9 band, and generally interacting in a wonderful way. During this initial stage of the scheme one Year 9 student volunteered his services once a week, after school, to the Fremantle Food Group. In 1982 the programme expanded tremendously. A great number of the students became involved in lunch time and after school activities with the following: • Centre of Community Activity - a place where elderly people meet for bingo and social gatherings once a fortnight. Groups of 6-8 students would interact with the elderly people, help them to play bingo, join in a singsong and serve refreshments. • Esme Fletcher Day Nursery. Students helped with activities for the pre-school children . • CBC Manuai Arts Centre. Students fixed broken toys and equipment for a number of organisations in the community. Some 40 items were repaired. • Nazareth House and Skye. Individuals and small groups visited these elderly peoples' homes on a regular basis to have a chat or play cards, etc.

Guest speakers who were invited proved invaluable to making students and staff aware of the needs of some members of the community. Special mention must be made of Sr. Libby Rogerson from Loreto who sowed the seeds for establishing the scheme with her enthusiastic talk to the staff. Linda Hogan from Community Task spoke of their needs to the staff at the initial stages. Mrs. Payne from Wesley Central Mission talked to the Year 9 students of the Mission's various services including the Good Samaritan Industries. Ms. Chess was the guest speaker from the Slow Learning Children's Group. As well as talking to the year 9, 10 and 12 students, she took the Year 12 class on a tour of one of their training centresjn White Gum Valley, an experience which the class found most rewarding. Finally, in jUdging the success of the program, the impact is made not by the number of students involved but by their willingness to give of their own time, outside school hours, a very genuine effort indeed.

COMPUTER CLUB

6PR CELEBRITY VISITS C.B.C. On the first Thursday back at school Graham Maybury, better known as host of6 PR's NIGHTLINE, and formerly of the Jesus People came to talk to Year 11 for the third year running. He told us of his work with destitute and homeless children and gave a few examples of the sort of problems he had to deal with i.e. kids involved with drugs, alcohol, sex, etc. He said he was an economics teacher before he joined the Jesus People and got his job on Nightlinewhen Neil Advock left. He discussed the pressures on young people that lead them into crisis and their need for a significant adult to talk to other than their parents. Graham showed us some slides of his work and we broke off into groups to talk about what we thought were the biggest hassles encountered by teenagers. We all found it very interesting and would like to thank Brother Shanahan for organising it. J. Woolfrey Year 11

The establishment of a Computer Club became possible this year with the purchase of a Computer microcomputer. One microcomputer doesn't go far as only one person can use it at any time. Consequently, membership ofthe Club has been restricted, but as more machines are purchased, more students will be able to join the club. Gavin Croll has already used the machine to win 2nd prize in the Open section of the Science Talent Search organised by the Science Teachers' Association of W.A. Gavin taught himself programming, and has developed what the judge referred to as an ."elegant style" (elegance is a valued quality in mathematical circles). Other students have modified programs derived from various sources, as well as exploring the capabilities of the present hardware. It is intended that Club members will use their skills for the benefit of the school by assisting other students to use the machine and by developing programs for use by staff and students. The purchase of one machine and the inauguration of the Computer Club are only the first steps in the introduction of computjng into the school in such a way that all students will use them in various ways so as to become aware of their cl\pabilities and limitations. ., Br.

SENIOR DEBATING This year, C.B.C. Fremantle entered a senior debating team in the W.A. Debating League School Competition. Although several Year Twelve's were involved in training nights, the team was made up of Year Elevens, with the one exception of Nat Lenzo. As there was no Junior team last year, the Year Elevens were all inexperienced in competitive debating, so there were many nervous Friday afternoons. However, once the initial stage fright and unfamiliarity with competitive debating disappeared with experience and practice, the team started to enjoy the debates and performed more competitively. Unfortunately, this occurred in our last few debates only. The team was rotated so that all those who wanted to compete were able to. Altogether six students debated, including Peter Walsh, Damian Hart, James Woolfrey, Michael Abelha, Nat Lenzo and William White, in various combinations. Our win rate was low, but not through lack of trying. Many of our debates were very close, which added to the enjoyment of all concerned. Out of five debates, we won only one, but we came away with the important factor which we hope will be fruitful next year - experience. It was pleasing to note the interest in our debates. Our coaches were Brother Shanahan and Ms. Scantlebury, to whom we are indebted for the experience and help they passed on to us. Our all-knowing information source, Mrs. Letizia, turned up for our debates too, and so did parents and students. It is a great encouragement to be addressing a familiar crowd of faces in an unfamiliar school. So to all those who helped us in this our first stumbling year, a sincere thanks. We hope that next year may prove that all our efforts have not been wasted. W. White (Year II)

C.B.C. JUNIOR DEBATING For the first time e.B.e. this year entered a junior (Year 10) team in the W.A. Debating League School's competition. The team was successful in winning its first debate. The team members for these five debates were Guiseppe Graziano, David Nolan, Tony Rizzo, Danny Galvin, Brian Scarce and Wayne Pluske. The results put C.B.e. equal first with St. Mary's, so a special "play-off' was held on July 30th to decide who would go into the finals. We had the Negative of "That we should speak our minds." The team members were, Wayne Pluske, David Nolan and Brian Scarce. The debate was very close and of a high standard with all speakers doing very well. Most people thought we had won, but to almost everyone's surprise, the debate was awarded to St. Mary's by 2 points.


CRAFT All students engaged in Year 8 Craft for one semester. During this time the student is shown the skills of beaten copper work and chip models. This year in Year 9 there were thirty nine students who were shown how to acquire skills in leathercraft and macrame. In Year 10 there were forty six students. The new skill for this group was the art of wood burning. They were then encouraged to work at a higher level in any of the crafts learnt from previous years 8 and 9. This year the students chose the following types of craft: String and tack, leatherwork, macrame, pop-stick. Throughout the year all involved with this area have produced great results. Next year it is hoped that we will be able to introduce pottery and screen printing. Mrs. O. Ellis

R.E. CURRICULUM Religious Education is placed first in importance in the curriculum at c.B.e. This is school policy. Throughout 1982, the Principal and his executive have endeavoured in every way to ensure that the policy is implemented. As R.E. Co-ordinator, I have received full support from Brother Kelly. I meet with him weekly to report on R.E. and to plan the week's work for Year 12. At other levels, Year 8 teachers, for example, attempt to integrate some aspects of R.E. with other areas of the curriculum. In most classes, teachers of R.E. are also the class teachers who have responsibility for pastoral care of the students. Consequently they have to develop an individual interest in every student. Teachers at each year level try to meet regularly together to plan the program. Ideas and strategies are shared at these meetings, and coordination of the overall program is assisted by the presence of the R.E. Co-ordinator. This has been successfully carried out at Year 11 and 12 levels in 1982, and the same approach will be more fully implemented throughout the school in 1982. Comprehensive R.E. guidelines for Catholic schools are currently being designed under the direction of the Catholic Education Commission. Brother Shanahan participated in the work that preceded the undertaking of this task by the C.E.e. I am now involved in the process for the preparation of these guidelines. Another member of the R.E. staff, Mr. Stack, was enabled to undertake an extensive R.E. inservice program in 1982 that has helped him become a qualified resource person for the development of R.E. curriculum in the school consistent with the new guidelines. RETREATS, CAMPS, SEMINARS AND HOME GROUPS Some R.E. activities are better engaged in away from the classroom in order to provide extended treatment of some topics, a wider range of activities and a freer and more open environment. This is done in order to provide educational experiences that facilitate growth in faith . The Year 11 and Year 12 camps are of the nature of a religious retreat suited to the needs of young people. These are quite different from the sort of retreat their parents or teachers may have experienced many years ago. They are more relaxed in atmosphere and they mo~e actively involved the students. Emphasis is placed III developing, in an environment of Christian community, a true self-understanding, improved inter-personal relationship and an openness to God through faith, prayer and reflection. Key experiences on these retreat camps are the celebration of the Eucharist and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. In second term, a large part of the R.E. program for Year 12 was carried out in home groups led by married couples involved in the Marriage Encounter Movement. Girls from De Vialar and Santa Maria Colleges took part in this program, in which the students explored issues of faith and morals in the Christian family context by following a well-designed fourteen unit course. In Year

11, the R.E. program included several half-day seminars on such aspects as Sexuality, Peace and Justice, and Christian Vocation. CHAPLAINS, SACRAMENTAL PROGRAM AND PRAYER c.B.e. enjoys strong support from the priests of the many parishes from which our students come. In one way or another ten priests have been involved in chaplaincy work at the school, most of these on many occasions. Each class or form level is provided with opportunities for the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and of the Eu~harist at least once a term and at the camps or retreats. The whole school community has had the opportunity for special Eucharistic Celebrations on four . occasions during the year. There is also a weekly lunchtime Mass on Wednesdays for any staff members or students who want to come. Classroom prayer is a regular feature of school life. Students are asked to be involved in the selection and conduct of prayers. Staff members gather to pray each Monday before school. Some Year 11 and 12 students are voluntarily engaged in a guided prayer program of their own. PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT Parents are involved in the R .E. program of the school through Parent-Teacher Meetings, and to it small extent through Seminars and Retreat Camps, especially at Years 11 and 12 level. It is hoped that activities involving parents in R.E. will be increasingly developed in 1983. Br. Peter St. John

On Friday 16th July, c.B.e. students and teachers eagerly moved down to St. Patrick's Church for the Founders' Day Mass. The Mass started at around 11.00 a.m. The church was almost full - many parents had come along. Fathers from many parishes celebrated the Mass which was well organised and was a credit to the Brothers. Mr. Stevens used his musical talents and had the primary school singing the soprano with the secondary singing the bass. At the end of the Mass, Brother St. John advertised Br. Shanahan's blockbuster epic "A Quiet Revolution" which is a booklet about Edmund Rice and his works.


LA SCENA ITALIANA This year, as in the past years, the students of Italian have been involved in a number of extra curricular activities. During second term the Year 9 group went on an excursion to Northbridge where we began with the park lunch of parini (rolls) from the Re store. Unfortunately the day was marred by a little drizzle but this did not dampen our enthusiasm as we explored the route covering the "Little Italy" block, taking note of the signs, shops and goods sold. Along the way we stopped at Elio's for a pastry and a drink which were enjoyed by all. Eighteen students sat for and passed the annual Dante Alighieri exams. The successful candidates were: Senior Division: Patricia Filippin, Marilyn Garces, Iolanda Raffa, Renato Palmiero, Michael Mucciacciaro, Nat Lenzo, David Truscello and Gordon Gatti. Junior Division: Salvatore Fiorentino, Mauro Mucciacciaro, (D) Shane Grimminck, Guiseppe Graziano, (D), Tony Rizzo, Aldo Ottaviano, Robert Tagliaferri, Mario Petrone (D), Nicola d'Ulisse and Anthony Catalano. Six students also entered the writing competition conducted by the Dante Alighieri Society. Congratulations to Luke Drozdowski from Year 9 for winning the short story section of Level 2. Lukes' excellent winning entry, entitled "PAURA", was chosen to be read out at the presentation of prizes evening attended by students, parents, teachers and members of the Society. The Italian Camp at Sorrento proved to be a valuable educational and social experience for the two year 12 students, Nat Lenzo and Michael Mucciancciaro, who attended it. For Daniel Lolli, our exchange student from Italy, it was certainly the highlight of his stay and he was not short of words to prove it. About 32 students, teachers and parents attended the Italian Spring Festival play, "Non ti Pago", an excellent play which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. To celebrate the end of the school year and to sample good Italian Food, the year lO's, together with some of the parents, went to lunch at Mamma Madera's where they were well looked after oy the bubbling Mamma Madera herself. One group of year 9 students celebrated with lunch at the Capri. The year was highlighted by the school's involvement in the Intercultura Student Exchange Scheme. Daniele Lolli from Bologna spent two months at the school taking part in various subjects at year 9-12 level, an experience which he found most valuable in comparing the two systems of education. Daniele's effervescence brought life to the Italian classes as he talked about various aspects of Italian life. Sincere thanks must go to the Grimminck family who hosted Daniele and made his stay a most enjoyable one. During the Christmas holidays, Shane Grimminck will also take part in the Student Exchange Scheme when he goes to Italy for two months. The staff and students of e.B.e. wish Shane all the very best during his stay and a safe arrival back to Australia. N. McCann

SCIENCE SUCCESS On Sunday 28th February, Bill Jack (from Aquinas) and I were flown to Canberra, compliments of BHP, to attend the BHP SCIENCE PRIZE Presentation Ceremony. We arrived in Canberra about 7.30 p.m. local time and were then driven to Australian University House, where we were allowed a couple of hours for meeting the other twenty two finalists. On Monday, we visited the NASA Tracking Station at Tidbinbilla, which consists of two tracking antennaes, one 64 metres and the other 34 metres wide. After this, we visited Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve where we were shown around by a biologist. We then visited "The Lodge" where we met the Prime Minister's dog 'Droopy'. We missed the Prime Minister because he was out of town attending the Premier's Conference. The Group also met the Prime Minister's butler. The Lodge was relatively small in size but the gardens were very large. Inside "The Lodge" there were lot of antique furniture of which very little was actually the Prime Ministers. Most of it came from The National Archives and The National Museum. After leaving "The Lodge", we visited the 'Questacon Project', which is run by the Australian National University and is a Science Museum where you conduct the experiments yourself. On Tuesday, we attended the presentation ceremony and met the Governor General, Sir Zelman Cowan. The winner's project was trying to discover whether or not you can classify plants according to the wastes they produce. He received $5,000 and a gold medal, but this year's winner will receive $5,000, a gold medal and a trip to the United States of America to represent Australia at the International Science Fair. After all the excitement was over, we visited the telecommunications tower at Black Mountain, which is used for sending and receiving radio and television broadcasts all over the Australian Capital Territory. The tower itself rises about 195.2 metres above ground level. The public are only allowed on three floors - the revolving restaurant, the enclosed viewing gallery and the . open viewing platform. We flew back to Perth with an hour stopover in Melbourne. Gavin Croll Year 9


II TRANSITION EDUCATION

1980 Commonwealth Schools Commission Report titled "Schooling for IS and 16 Year Olds" focussed on this very subject and we chose to make a study of it. This project was undertaken jointly with . De Vialar College and culminated in a public forum at the Fremantle Education Centre in September at which a panel of noted educationists interacted with an audience of some 120 parents, teachers and young ex-students of both schools. Public forums rarely arrive at any definable outcome and this one was no exception. But the objective of achieving moderately widespread involvement of both school communities was met. The groundwork for the next stage had been laid. What is to follow is the formation of a joint parent/teacher/student working group whose brief will be to examine the organizational features of the school and to recommend to the Headmaster those changes which, in the language of the "Schooling for IS and 16 Year Olds" Report, will help to make e.B.e. Fremantle an "adaptive" school responsive to the needs of its students. A lot remains to be done but at least a promising start has been made and, under the enlightened administration which the school is fortunate to have, the climate for change could hardly be better. Don't sit back and watch it happen - be a part of it! John James, Guidance Officer

What is "Transition Education"? The cynic might reply that it is no more than "Career Education" dressed up under a new iabel designed to mystify the uninitiated. But the truth is that most of today's students will not have a single career in the sense of a vocation which is followed until retirement at the venerable age of 65 or thereabouts. Those who have the requisite knowledge and skills or the right connections (some would argue that these are all that are necessary) will enter the workforce. Once there, many will change their occupations radically severa times during their working lives which will be much shorter than those of their parents. Very few will avoid unemployment for some significant period. There will be those who will never experience what it is to have permanent work in the way that we know it. Little wonder, then, that the term "Career Education" is now regarded as outmoded and inaccurate. "Transition Education" tries to reflect the changed emphasis towards helping students to prepare for an uncertain future in a rapidly changing world. Specifically, what has e.B.e. Fremantle done in this area in 1982? We felt that one of our first tasks should be to make ourselves, i.e. the whole school community, more aware of the educational values upheld by the parent system of secondary education and to see whether these values served well the majority of today's secondary students.

YEAR 12 HUMAN DEVELOPMENT CAMP

BREAKING Throbbing and crashing insistent and clattering - at any moment the demon drill shatters silence and our peace. Nerves twitch, people start, and composures flee. Arrogantly random, Jith lordly unpredictability, the foreign din starts up. In an occupied land we, servile and apologetic, walk around, shuffle past, drop our eyes. Worn ragged by the clatter and clash our nerves capitulate. The cancer gnaws on, dust and mess sprawl, towers arise. They have dug in for the duration. Morose, resigned, we have dug in too. We will sit it out. by Anon.

After the Term One exams we appreciated a retreat into the cool forested hills of Jarrahdale at the Institute for Human Development campsite. The I.H.D. people told the school earlier in Term One that its staff could not conduct the program in future, so Br. St. John agreed to do it himself with the help of Br. Kelly and Mr. James. There were some hazards. The program was a bit intensive; some of us were shy of the personal involvement demanded; Fr. Joe Parkinson got lost on the way, arrived late, and gave some sinful guys up to half an hour each for confession while we all waited for Mass. Perhaps the most hazardous moment came when "we realized the confrontation and conflict exercise was for real, and some of us lost our 75c to the other cheats. The unanimous summing up showed that the pro.gram was enjoyable and effective. We learned something practical about communication skills and how the use of them can influence relationships. Most of all we were brought together one and all as a very close-knit group something that stood us in good stead for the tough two terms ahead. We waited a long time for that Mass, and Fr. Joe was out on his feet (what with the sinners and all) before he started. But that Mass was a memorable celebration of what we were to each other as sons (and daughters) of God. Thanks to Mesdames Faria, Lewis and Ottaviano for looking after our material needs so well. P. St. John


A.C.C. ATHLETICS CARNIVAL We started our preparations for the 1982 athletics carnival the week before the August holiday commenced. This indicated that the coaches meant business as it was the earliest start we had ever had. All coaches had definite plans that would bring the athletes to their peaks on carnival day - hopefully. On looking back at these preparations I can confidently say that the majority of athletes and coaches enjoyed the training sessions, although at the time they didn't seem much fun. We finished our program with a light training session and afterwards a short meeting followed by some chicken to eat. By this time the team spirit was very high and we were all raring to go. When Sunday eventuated we were all very nervous. Our aim was not to win at all costs but to perform to the best of our ability. This we did and surprisingly very successfully. A pleasant aspect of the day was the friendliness and good sportsmanship displayed by e.B.C towards our opponents. We appreciated other athletes' good performances and showed our appreciation. o

Throughout the day there were many commendable performances, but two outstanding athletes that can not go unmentioned are those of Paul Tognolini and Russell Mathanda. Paul competed in five events winning them all and setting two A.CC. records in high jump and javelin. Russell ran superbly winning two events and creating a new ACC record with an explosive 100m run. By the time the individual performances were over and the relays about to begin we were surprisingly in a good position and our spirits extremely high. Combined with Santa Maria we ended up winning the Relay Cup and felt very proud in .doing so. The overall result was John XXIII defeating us by a mere seven points. Considering it was only our second year in "A" division it was an outstanding performance. We at C.B.C and Santa maria can be very proud of our results and can be a force in ACC competitions of the future. Congratulations and thanks must go to all coaches and teachers for their time and effort in helping mould us into a successfull team. Congratulations must also go to each and every athlete who undoubtedly gave their best. I am very proud to have been part of the 1982 CB.e. Fremantle Athletes team, it was an honour and a pleasure to be representing our school. Damon Gabbedy (Vice-Captain)

A.C.C. SWIMMING On the 19th March CBC had its 2nd Annual ACC swimming carnival in A grade, It was a great night. About 25 of CBC students turned up, compared to about 50 of Santa Maria, our sister school. There was great spirit among the crowd as they performed many war cries and on many occasions drowning out the school next to us. The swimmers who had put in weeks oftraining, under the guidance of Mr. O'Meara all put" in their best effort, many of them beating their own times. However, this didn't help us much; the closest we got to winning a race was 2nd. Even though we came ... there was a great spirit at the presentations. Next year we hope to get a lot more swimmers in the squad and a lot more coaches. If we compare the number of coaches and students in the athletics this year with the swimming, we find that there were ten coaches to only one coach in swimming and seventy students to seventeen in the swimming. Next year we hope to get more coaches both teachers and parents and a lot' more swimmers. Sean Gavin Year 11

SENIOR A.C.C. HOCKEY 1982 This year's senior ACC hockey team had quite a successful season. The team was made up of Year 10, 11 and 12 players, who all combined well to give some good and, sometimes, excellent performances. Apart from playing well overall, the team was given a boost by some occasional individual efforts (perhaps sometimes, too many!). Of the 10 games they played, they won all but three, and it's a shame no finals were held , as they probably would have made the top four. One aspect of sport that has always been emphasised at C.B.C. is the spirit in which the game is played, and the senior team usually came up well in that respect. Apart

from the occasional isolated incident, the team played in a very sportsman-like fashion, with their mind focused on the game, rather than their opponents. Throughout the season, Mr. Rose'meyer supplied transport and also coached and umpired at all the games, for which we are very grateful. Many thanks, Mr. Rose'meyer. Overall, the team had a very successful season and showed just what it is capable of, which certainly promises well for next year. With such potential in the team, we can not only look on the past with satisfaction, but to future with confidence. Peter Walsh

YEAR 8-9 A.C.C. HOCKEY 1982 In their first year in the A.e.e. competition, e.B.e. went through the season unbeaten, therefore winning the premiership for 1982. Although there were only three Year 8's, all played important roles throughout the season. They adapted well to different team-mates, and should be thanked for their co-operation. With their inclusion, a very strong team without much weakness was produced. Each player's contribution towards the matches is as follows in alphabetical order: BIANCHI, Peter - played quite consistently on the wing throughout the season. Try developing your running. CAPPELUTTI, John - Good, strong hit. Tries his best to stick on his man. Very good finals match. CROLL, Gavin - Courageous goalkeeper. Some immaculate saves during the season. DOLZADELLI, Danny - Played on the right inner position with good trapping skills. Tackles well. Try running more and you'll get more involved in the game. FERNANDEZ, Glenn - (Vice Captain). A very skilled centre forward , who scored a large number of the team's goals. Often out-played 4 or 5 defenders. HARRINGTON, Greg - (Captain). Fine leader. Can be attacking or defensive in the Centre half back position. Very good season! Scored nine goals. JONES, Chris - played a few matches. Performed quite consistently. Can be used as a utility player. LEAHY, Michael - Useful player. Played fullback , halfback and inner positions. Should develop the running a bit more.

LAW, Nick - One of th{: players that improved the most in the forward line. Later in the season, he made use of his chances in front of goals. Well done Nick, Seven goals! MAHER, Lester - One of the Year 8's that adapted well in a different position. Try playing in your zone and you'll be a fine player. Started the season well with three goals. . MARTINIS, Peter - Played well at left half back, although played at fullback and forward positions. Consistent season. PARKER, Andre - Played very well at fullback . Stopped attacking moves on numerous occasions. SIMPSON, Bradford - Very good season at fullback. Sorry but just can't let you play in the forward line when you are doing a fine job at this position. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times! Don't swing the stick! VINCI, Brett - Very good effort to play in a completely different position from a normal centre forward. Scored a good goal in the finals . The team defeated the John XXIII A team in the finals, winning three goals to one. A fine team performance! Finally, we would like to thank Bro. Wedd for the transportations to and from the matches, and his halftime talks to us which helped a lot, especially in the last two matches. The team finished on top with 8 wins in 8 matches, scoring 46 goals with I I scored against them and a total of 16 points.

UPPER SCHOOL SENIOR SATURDAY MORNING HOCKEY The 1982 season has been one of "near misses" for the senior team. We won three of the ten games we played and many other matches were very close ones, with c.B.C. being simply unlucky in not coming out on top. We played our best games towards the end of the fixtures and, as our coach, Mr. Crawford, said at the end of the season, "It's a pity we aren't just starting the season now." We started off playing reasonably well and improved all the way. Late in the season we went through a rough patch with a few internal problems that threatened to upset the team's balance, but everyone settled down well and finished the season playing the best hockey played all year.

Br. Kelly coached the team early in the season and when he withdrew because of other commitments, Mr. Crawford offered his services and saw the team through to the end of the season. The team appreciates the time and effort they both put in. . The team's defence put in a solid effort all year, which we unfortunately couldn't back up with consistent goal scoring, despite our forward's best attempts. A bit more work in training would have improved our results. Throughout the season, the team put in strong and consistent games, and were unlucky in not achieving full results for their efforts.

A.C.C. TENNIS e.B.C. returned to interschool tennis this year after several years of not competing. With some solid preparation by most members and helpful hint.s by our coach and chauffeur, Brother Travers, C.B.e. provided tough competition for most teams. The successful team in order was: Michael Travia, Damon Gabbedy, Peter Collins, David Truscello, Gaetano Damiono, Tony Tomba.

The teams e.B.C. played.in the "A" Division were: Highgate, C.B.e. Leederville, St. Norberts, Mazenod (A & B), Newman College and John XXIII. Out of the 7 teams played, e.B.C. were victors in 3 matches, drawing I match, and losing the other 3. The team improved considerably over the eight week competition as it was evident in our draw with Mazenod "A" who before in earlier rounds defeated e.B.C. 5 to I. The team wishes to thank Bro. Travers for his time and effort during the season. Michael Travia

In the first term of this year, a team consisting of eight players, four year eights and four year nines, went to Robertson Park on most Thursday afternoons to play other Christian schools. The other teams had only four players who each played two sets, whilst we had eight players who played one set. This made it easier for us because we wouldn't have tired as much as the other teams. As individuals we were all reasonable players but we didn't get our act together as a team. We played five games, of which we won two and drew one. Our drawn game seemed to lift our spirits as it was against older opposition. It wasn't looking good for most of the game but we came home strongly to win the last set six games to two and drew the match three sets¡ all and twenty seven games all. Robert Mascaro and Peter Bianchi won the set with ease and this lifted our spirits and we won our next two matches convincingly. Our thanks go to Mr. Stack for coaching us and getting us to Robertson Park every week. YEAR 8 & 9 A.C.C. TENNIS Front Row: Back Row:

II A.C.C. SENIOR BASKETBALL The e.B.e. Christian Brothers' College basketball team had an extremely good first term. After the introduction of some Year to players, our skill was superior to many of the other competing teams, but lack of experience and confidence lost two of our earlier games. We were not content, so, after regular training sessions with Br. Shanahan we brought to life our true potential and a will to win. Some of the more impressive efforts included defeats of Mazenod by 19 points, Servite by 13

points, e.B.CLeederville by 20 points, and St. Norbert's "B" by 7 points. It was only our sometimes sloppy passes and tactics that allowed our opposition to defeat us; this pushed us just out of the final playoffs. After a very high spirited season in the first term, we hopefully should go from strength to strength when the new season starts during third term. With proper training and practice there is no reason c.B.e. cannot top the field, we ought to with Br. Shanahan at the helm. Rodney Ziegelaar and Frank Loss

16's AND UNDER FOOTBALL The players of the 16 and Under Football team were made up of five Year II's and about 15 Year 1O's. The team lacked height and physical strength compared to the rest of the teams in the competition. With a lack of players at training and at games, we were restricted in the amount of training we could do. Without hard, consistent training with all the squad, we were not able to develop the close teamwork to compensate for our physical deficiencies. It certainly looked like an uphill battle, and it was. There was many a time the coach could have quit, but Mr. Nugent just kept asking for us to give our best, a.n d sometimes this wasn't good enough. We won our first game against Willagee toward s the end of the first round . With about four games left we had to play the top three sides and the bottom side South Fremantle. We beat South Fremantle and went down by one goal to

Coolbellup, who finished runners up in the Finals. Although we lost many games we improved as the season went along. We would like to thank the boys from the 14 and Under team who helped make up numbers at some of the games. The team could not have been able to run out on the field if it wasn't for people who helped the team. Firstly, Mr. Nugent, who coached the team and stuck by us through the season, did an enormous task in coaching the side and got the team to playas one. Br. Shanahan took us for the start of the training sessions before Mr. Nugent arrived to start the ball skills . Mr. Sicree, the team manager, looked after the jumpers and drinks and much more. His helper, Mr. Jervis, was the team's first aid man and helped strap sprained hands, fingers and who knows what else. The team would like to thank these people and also to thank the supporters who stuck by us.

FOOTBALL U14 WHITE 1982 was a season of two teams. The "B" team, or known as the "White" team, were given the players that weren't as co-ordinated as the "A" team. We started off the season badly losing our first 8 games to stronger and bigger oppositions. We finally pulled through winning 2 games out of the possible 12 games. We played very well, considering the disadvantages we' had. We had some

This year's senior A.C.C. Soccer team performed well. At the beginning of the season we had a Jew difficulties. Even though each player's individual ability was fairly high, we lacked experience playing as a team. As the season progressed we began to resemble a team and our game began to flow, with decisive victories such as 11-1 against Mazenod and 9-1 against Mazenod and 9-1 against Servite. We eventually finished 3rd on the league

LAWN BOWLS The sincere thanks of the senior boys are due to the Fremantle Bowling club, who for the past eighteen months has allowed them the use of the Bowling Greens as an option for weekly sports. Their courtesy and generosity are greatly appreciated. Each Tuesday up to sixteen seniors have elected to play Lawn Bowls. It does not take too long before they realise the science of "bias" and "length" becomes a real teaser. Some have shown a natural bent for the game and could do well at this demand ing sport. In the May holidays four of our boys competed in the Lawn Classic Singles sponsored by the Sunday Times for High School students. Amongst the sixty-odd entrants Sean Stamari (1981 winner of the College Championship), Rowan Yap, Paul McCormick and Peter Collins were available to play.

Both Peter and Paul got tO ,the quarter finals and had to play one another. Although Paul played well, Peter ran on to win the semi-final but was beaten in the Final by a brilliant young player from Ongerup who had been playing pennants for four years. A remarkably good effort for Peter who had spent only three months at the game. He was the recipient of a handsome radio. In November the College Singles Championship was held. In the quarter-finals Paul McCormick defeated Anthony Murphy and Sean Santamaria had a narrow victory over Peter Collins. Paul bowling very accurately claimed the title from Sean. Mr. Keith Legge donated a trophy which he presented to Paul - the first, we feel, of many. Br. Murphy

NATIONAL MATHS WEEK From August 2nd - 6th e.B.e. celebrated National Maths Week with various mathematica] activities. These included the sale of maths stickers, a poster competition, the showing of the film Donald in Mathimagic Land and a demonstration of the Compucolour Micro Computer. The competition did not bring the expected number of entries, and the standard of some entries was disappointing, however, as this was the first year the competition was held we are looking forward to an improvement next year. Congratulations to all those people who submitted entries, for their initiative and preparedness to have a go. This attitude resulted in the competition becoming an event, which we hope will now become an annual one. The winners of the competition were Brian Bench, Sean Sicree and David Payne. Commendation goes to Peter Crocker, Matthew Wood, Chris Baker for the time and effort put into their entries. Mrs Stacey


Tuckfield Street Report 1982 has been, in most regards, a satisfying year. The Primary segment of the school was to establish a separate campus at Tuckfield Street, in the premises previously occupied by Our Lady of the Missions Girls High School. In this establishment of the new campus one of the greatest hazards that loomed was the potential "gap" in relations between the two campuses of Christian Brothers' College, Fremantle, i.e., between the primary and secondary sections of the school. It is an historical fact that a gap exists between primary and secondary students, staff and parents, a gap in philosophy, a gap in educational objectives, and a gap in priorities - here, we were to place further pressures on these areas by separating the campuses. The new primary campus presented further difficulties for the school as a whole - with two campuses one and a half kilometre apart, the need for duplication of resources was evident from the outset, a need that immediately placed a considerable financial burden on the school as a whole. Considerably more effort by staff and especially by the Administration was required in seeking to facilitate the integration of primary and secondary programmes, and the use of shared resources, in ensuring that programmes in both campuses were supportive and sequential to one another, and that staff and student relationships were maintained at a level as though the school were as one campus. Beyond these, the greatest potential area of difficulty that existed was with the possible traumatic effect on our students - the Year 6 students: from parish schools to CB.C. Ellen Street, a change of school in 1981, from Ellen Street to Tuckfield Street, a virtual change of school, in 1982. The Year 7s. from Ellen Street to Tuckfield Street in 1982, then from Tuckfield Street back to Ellen Street in 1983. While problems occurred, and some are still occurring, it is felt that the establishment of the new campus progressed with satisfactory smoothness, and with relatively little trauma. The smoothness is due largely to the support, cooperation and guidance provided by Br. Kelly, the Headmaster. " At this point, might I express my appreciation and gratitude for the guidance and assistance given by Br. Kelly. His support for, and patience with some of the seemingly unreasonable or overly ambitious schemes presented by the primary campus, have allowed a considerable rate of progress and change in the school. What progress, and what change has occurred this year? Very, very briefly, the year in retrospect .. ". At a Mass in the undercroft, Bishop Healy blessed the transference of the Primary Campus to the new site. A capacity congregation of parents and visitors shared the mass with the students. One of the initial aims for the campus was realised when the Archbishop gave his blessing for the reservation of the Blessed Sacrament in the Chapel, the .Chapel being converted from a classroom. Since that time, mass has been celebrated at least every fortnight, both as regular class masses, and on special occasions.

Sincere thanks are offered to Father Dowd, the Primary Chaplain, for the time he has spent in the school with us, helping to form an integrated team with the staff to offer a more complete religious programme. Throughout the year, ongoing endeavours to review the school curriculum have progressed to the point where standardised content sequences for the five main subjects areas - Religious Education, Mathematics, English, Social Studies and Science - have been compiled, and will be in use as from the commencement of 1983. The objective of these is to allow a more systematic and sequential coverage of work. Music was introduced as a special option area, with tuition in 5 instruments being offered. This offer was accepted by almost 1/ 3rd. of the school population, these lads being integrated into a band grouping as they progressed. A nucleus of parents combined to form a Steering Music Committee, with limited duties for this year, but big plans for 1983. The success of this programme to date can be measured by the performances of the boys tonight, and thanks must be extended to the two teachers who have provided tuition, Mr. Alan Hyde and Mr. Uwe Stengel. Still with music, under the direction of Mr. Sta Maria, a school choir and a Chapel Choir have been formed, both choirs reaching high standards. The Chapel Choir now appears resplendent in their new Choir Robes, the results of many hours of hard work by a group of our mothers under the direction of Mrs. Kath Neesham. The sport programme has been another area under review, in an endeavour to provide a programme that allowed participation of as many boys as possible. As a result, the primary campus has been accepted into the Junior Schools Headmasters' Association of W.A., becoming the 10th school in the organisation. This will provide a varied selection of inter-school sport at Yr. 5, Yr. 6 and Yr. 7 levels. Here the emphasis is on participation and sporting interaction between schools. This Association also allows for cultural, religious and social interactions, such as music festivals and ecumenical services. During the second term, I was fortunate enough to attend a conference in Adelaide, linked to the afore mentioned association, a conference which concentrated on technological change in schools. The bulk of the conference stressed the need for schools to upgrade educational programmes to meet the requirements of students in a technological age. With the implementation of the new content syllabi in 1983, a considerable amount of work by the staff will go towards integrating technology into the subject areas. Endeavours have been made throughout the year to cater for the individual requirements of each student this has been largely due to having the expertise of Br. Harnett available to assist with boys experiencing difficulties in areas of learning. This remediation will be further extended in 1983 with the formation of a composite class.

of the scale, the intellectually talented, will also be made next year, with a withdrawal "Special Interest" programme initiated. Pressures within a school build, and the pressure put on staff at times is very heavy. With circumstances this year, the primary .staff have had to bear with a lot, and yet, throughout, they have always produced in the end. I wish to thank the four teaching staff members, Br. Harnett, Mrs. Parnis, Mr. Sta Maria and Mr. Winsor, for their diligence throughout the year. Added to these, thanks go to Mrs. Hardy who has established the primary office in a most efficient and pleasant manner. To the staff at the secondary campus, both office and teaching, our thanks for their support and assistance

throughout the year. With th~se thanks go our best wishes to Br. Shanahan who leaves us this year, our hopes that his stay in Rome will prove to be all that he desires. Like an army, a school marches on its stomach, and Mrs. Ruth Croll has guaranteed that all the little stomaches have been satisfied. Sincere thanks go to Mrs . Croll and her willing band of helpers. To the many dads who assisted in working bees, to the mums who acted as Class Mothers and who assisted in all areas of the school, and to brothers and sisters, aunts and friends who have added their efforts to assist us in this year, my grateful thanks . To name all those who have assisted would go on indefinitely, so, to all who have helped, thank you and God bless you.

JUNIOR SCHOOL ACTIVITIES . Special Mass Celebrations

Family Mass: February saw the opening of the school for the 1982 year, with the celebration of the College Family Mass c;tt St Patricks, a mass that was shared by a large congregation including a high percentage of primary students and their families. This mass provided the opportunity for the total school community to come together as a united body to pray for the guidance and success of all within the school. Dedication Mass: With the establishment of a new primary campus, a Dedication Mass was held early in first term to bless our new premises and the activities that were to occur there. This mass was celebrated in the undercroft at Tuckfield Street by Bishop Healy, the undercroft being packed to capacity with parents, friends and invited guests from surrounding schools. Father Gore: Whilst Father Gore was in Western Australia, the primary campus was fortunate to have him celebrate mass in the Chapel for all students. Being an old boy of the college, he was able to relate his experiences in the Philippines Mission field and schooling there with comparisons to Christian Brothers education, W.A. style. The students presented Father Gore with a donation of $100.00 towards his mission work, the money raised by the students. Year 7 Graduation Mass: The 'Primary Chaplain, Father Dowd, celebrated a special mass for the graduating year 7 students a week before the end of the school year, signifying the completion of their primary education and their promotion into the secondary area. Mother's Mass: When the Chapel was established in the campus, it was hoped that it would be utilised by persons throughout the total school community and also by_other persons with some attachment to the school. It was therefore especially pleasing to have the mothers utilise our most important facility for their end of year mass, celebrated by Father Dowd, before moving downstairs for their luncheon. Camps I!

All students at the primary level were offered the opportunity of attend a year camp during 1982. Year 5: The youngest gentlemen of the school were taken for a three day camp by Mrs. Parnis and her helpers, the camp behing held at the Human Development Centre at Jarrahdale. The experiences offered for the boys and their personal performances made the three day period a most valuable activity within their school year. Year 6: The Year 6 men were taken to the Guildford Sports Training Centre for a three day stint with 'Mr. Sta Maria and his assistants. As with the 5s, the lads were provided with a most worthwhile experience throughout. Both the Year 6 and Year 5 camps were fortunate enough to have Father Dowd attend to celebrate mass at the campsites. Year 7: The senior men of the school were most fort unate in being able to go to Coolgardie for their camp, being away for 6 days with Mr. Winsor and his helpers. The experiences offered these boys were of great value, concentrated largely on the mining and historical aspects of the area.

Chapel

On moving into the new campus the aim was to establish the second floor as the "heart of the school", comprising the library, the heart of our secular learning, and the chapel, the heart of our religious learning. This aim was realised early in the year, and by the commencement of the second term mass was being celebrated regularly in the chapel. The campus was fortunate to obtain items for the chapel from a variety of sources . . ..Palmyra parish, Xavier College, Hilton parish, Aquinas College, etc. Father Dowd as primary Chaplain has established within the chapel through his rappour with the students, an atmosphere of welcome, love and belonging, and it has been pleasing to note the constant flow of students visiting through each day. The most recent addition to the Chapel is the Chapel Choir, a small group of students who have been melded into a magnificent choral group by Mr. Sta Maria, the choirmaster. Through many hours of hard work, this choir has been outfitted in choir robes in the school colours by a willing group of our mothers. Music

A rather ambitious decision to introduce music into the school as a special option resulted in a most pleasingly successful activity that should develop considerably over the next few years as it is extended through the secondary area of the school. Tuition was offered in trumpet, trombone, saxophone, clarinet and flute, the offer being accepted by over thirty students. This number is quite exceptional with it is considered that it represents over 25% of the total enrolment, and that parents had to meet the total costs of establishing this option. The success of the introduction of the programme was measured in the outstanding performances of the Primary Band at two public functions, the college Open Day and the Junior School Speech Night. A further feature of the bands appearance at the latter of the two functions was the use of the college felt banners made for the band music stands, a result of work by the small music committee, and the making of the banners organised by Mr. Michael Cronin. Tuition throughout was provided by Mr. Uwe Stengel and Mr. Allan Hyde. Music Awards: Concept Musician of 1982 Shane Mancuso Year 7, Award Andrew Harding Year 6 Award Wade Jarvis Year 5 Award Tomithy Forster Library

A rather depleted library at the commencement of the year, a fairly natural situation where a school divides into two separate campuses, has grown throughout the year and is beginning to take on the appearances and scope of a considerabJ:e-primary library. This is due almost completely to the efforts of the secretary, Mrs. Beryl Hardy, who has also had the dubious honour of establishing the new library. With her, the efforts of the mothers who answered Mrs. Hardy's request for assistance, and the kind donation of many beautiful books by parents, our library is developing towards fulfilling it place along with the chapel, of being the "heart of our school".


Academic Considerable work by staff this year has been a general revamping of the educational programmes being taught within the campus, much of this work to take effect during the 1983 school year.. Unfortunately some instability in staffing caused some minor problems during the year, but overall the progress by most students was pleasing. Academic Awards presented for 1982 were: Dux of the Junior School Brett Iannello John Forster Year 7 Merit Awards McCloskey Carmelo Zagami Andrew Harding Year 6 Merit A wards A. McCartney Cliff Pereira Karl Cicanese Emilio Faliti Year 5 Merit A wards Mark de Luca Timothy Forster Luke Dullard Matthew Pizzi Christian Leadership Awards for Christian Leadership for 1982 were presented to: Brett Iannello Year 7 Luke Morgan Year 6 Shane Taranto Year 5 Headmaster's and Peer Awards The Headmaster's Award was presented to the boy considered to have made the greatest contribution to the tone of the school over the 1982 school year. This award was presented to Brett Iannello, a most worthy winner of the inaugural award.

Over the year Brett was consistently involved in all aspects of the school life, being a student councellor, involved in organising of class and school activities, voluntarily but very quietly performung duties around the school to the benefit of both students and staff, and also being prepared to be involved in every school activity. One of Brett's responsibilities, a voluntary duty, will hopefully not only continue in future years, but will hopefully become part and parcel of the general day to day school programme. He assisted in the establishment, and largely due. to his efforts, maintained a five minute P A broadcast throughout the school of "Morning Reflections", each day. This reflection was planned, compiled and broadcast at the commencement of lessons each day, and had an excellent settling effect on the total school. Brett Iannello was also awarded an award termed the "Peer Award". This award was determined on a voting system by every single boy in the school. Each student was asked to vote for any boy within the school under seven separate headings, including such things as helpfulness and consideration towards fellow students, the voting slip bearing the names of every student in the school. This process was performed on two separate occasions, three months apart, and without prior warning. On each occasion Brett tallied top votes. Brett has completed an outstanding year in the school, and it seems certain that he will progress on to the secondary campus where he will again prove a great asset to the college.

.,


Sport Over the year the boys have put in some excellent performances on the sporting field , representing the school in swimming, athletics, football, hockey, soccer, cricket and softball. With the girls from Mel Maria, they participated in inter school swimming against other catholic colleges, also with Mel Maria as a partner, all other sports except hockey against local primary schools. Football and hockey teams also represented the school in weekend competitions with satisfying results. On the winning side, two pennants were won, one on the football field and one in the interschool cricket competition.
