ELLEN STREET SENIOR SCHOOL THE HEADMASTER'S REPORT -1986 Academic excellence has been the theme for 1986. It has been a frequent message at Assemblies. No ParentTeacher Meeting has escaped without it being mentioned. More than mentioned - emphasised. Why the need for so frequently bringing this topic to the fore, especially when e.B.e. can look back and list-off numerous famous scholars? e.B.e. in the early 1900s was referred to as The Western Australian University. It was one of only five schools in W.A. which prepared students for University entry. The University to be entered being the Adelaide University. To answer the question raised above. While very many excellent programmes existed at e.B.e., and while in recent time the school has been in the forefront of many educational initiatives there was just a possibility that the most fun~amental of all school programmes, academic excellence, could be soft-pedalled in favour of experimentation. I believe that the school is primarily a place of learning. Pastoral Care, Discipline, Training for Responsibility, Sport, Socials etc. etc, are all important and a school without a good programme in any of the above would be not only lacking in something but, I believe, failing. I believe that the school environment must be conducive to good learning and I believe that every effort should be made to ensure that wherever possible a student discovers his potential and strives to attain it. I am fully aware of the anti-educational milieu which exists and which confronts a student incessantly; radio, T.V., sport, cinema, newspapers, magazines, .money, part-time jobs, friends , and the home environment in many cases. To collapse exhausted by just thinking about these pressures would certainly be an abdication of responsibility. Too often defeat is conceded before encountering the opposition directly. The sympathetic "Poor Student" syndrome attitude of some parents and teachers does little to discover the true mettle of a student's make-up. To give undue importance to these enemies of academic success is surrendering too early and acknowledging defeat without sufficient effort. Hence the oft repeated 1986 slogan for e.B.e. "Academic Excellence" . I believe that we at e.B.e. have an excellent R.E. Program and an excellent Pastoral Care Program. Likewise I believe that our discipline and our training for responsibility are of a very high standard. I believe that in recent years with the lack of academic competition, because of an all too easy entry into tertiary institutes attitudes have become complacent. In many cases ther~ has developed an attitude of "let's not be seen to be better than my neighbour". The highest achievement became subject to the lowest performance of a friend in the quest of humanitarian motives. How difficult it has been in recent years to run an academic contest ad have entrants really trying to achieve to their best ability. Rather those who entered, entered almost reluctant and afraid to be declared the winner. It is in this area mainly that the 1986 campaign has been directed. At all times we have tried to
encourage students to do their best and we have, as a staff worked to protect the high achievers from the insidious "pal-disease" of never being seen to be better than anyone else. Thanks to the efforts of a dedicated staff, students have at last discovered that to perform better than a friend is no slight on him. Our results in the National Science Competition and also in the Westpac Maths Competition have been better than normal. However, more important than the actual good results has been the fact that students accepted their success without reluctance. From all indications our 1986 Year 12 class should perform particularly well because they have shown a much improved attitude to study. They are conscious of the increased pressures being encountered by prospective tertiary entrants . The following pages of this Annual will give ample evidence as to the success e.B.e. has achieved on the sporting fields. Many of our students have gained selection in W.A. and Australian teams. Our representative teams in A.e.e. competitions and our other teams in weekend sport have participated in seven Grand Finals and numerous other finals. Our greatest success is not that we have competed and done well but that we have participated and besides gaining success we have done it in a most sportsmanlike way. Our programme for sports options is excellent and it gives students a wide variety of experiences in preparation for leisure activities in years to come. Of great significance has been the renewed cultural studies in our e.B.e. curriculum. In 1987 Art will be availablefor all students from Years 5 to 12. This year our students have gained much from the Art programme. Their work has highlighted many school displays. Music continues to flourish . 1987 promises to be even more rewarding than the years just past. Speech and Drama are both once again vital components of our curriculum. The Religious Education programme is active and alive and pervades every aspect of school life. Each week has its Wednesday Mass which is well attended. Each term commences and concludes with a Mass. Every Camp reaches a climax with the celebration of Mass. Every class graduation ceremony has a Mass within its structure.
In summary I am happy to say that the 1986 schoolyear has been a very fruitful one for C.B.C. Our students have approached study with a refreshing enthusiasm. They have been friendly and very co-operative. In a materialistic world they have displayed a deep faith and with their parents' guidance and example they have given ample evidence that God and religion are integral parts of their lives. i refer to the vast majority of the parent body when I say that their support has been magnificent. Excellent participation and involvement by parents at OPENING MASS , FOUNDER'S MASS , FAMILY DA Y, P .&F. MEETINGS, SOCIALS, PARENTTEACHER MEETINGS, CAMPS, PRAY FOR A STUDENT PROGRAMME, CLASS MOTHERS, CANTEEN WORKERS, READING ASSISTANTS, SPORTING FUNCTIONS and a host of other activities have been a constant source of encouragement to all staff. Yet despite all this I do have a concern and it is, that in trying to set standards and maintain them, where the school has received its harshest note of disapproval from some. Time was when parents believed the school could do no wrong and a naive son in attempting to gain parental sympathy by highlighting the school's disciplinary shortcomings only received a double dose of the punishment already handed out. The daily papers give abundant evidence that authority is there to be ridiculed. Politicians, parents, the police and teachers are fair game. Like the child of yester-year I would be equally naive to walk any further into the future thinking I have the confidence of all who enrol their children at this school.
Disapproval culminating in the threat of litigation in areas of discipline, sport and extra curricula activities where staff contribute so generously has frequently stolen the satisfaction from the activity . A tremendous pity. Even more disturbing is the fact that many who race fastest to their lawyers have received far more in concessions from the school than those - the vast majority who have loyally met every schoo l requirement. It is a strange twist to the Gospel message of "to whom more is given more will be expected". Now it is truer to work to a guiding principle of "Those to whom much is given even more will they expect". If ever teachers of the future trea t their vocation and profession as just a job it will greatly be a result of the lack of satisfaction brought about by the fear of doing the extra things li ke Camps, Excursions, Experiments, Sport, for fear of being easy prey for the legal eagles. A pity to end an annua l report on such a sour note, but surely the report would be hypocritical if a matter which occupied a very sign ificant amount of the school administration's time fai led to get a proportional space in these lines. I take this opportunity to register a strong vote of thanks to staff, the student body and the vast, almost total, parent body for the part each has played in making 1986 a successful year. May the Christmas Season and it's simple message bring you all abundant blessings. May you all have a restful holiday in preparation for a challenging year in 1987. Br. P.B. Kelly, Principa l

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION The new Religious Education Guidelines for Catholic Schools, to be published in time for the commencement of the school year 1987 should prove an exciting development for R.E. in Catholic schools. Teachers will have a complete manual, including a dear statement of what is to be taught in all aspects of religious education which come together in what are called the four languages of faith. These are as follows: The Word of God - or scripture ~iturgy - or the celebration of life by the community 10 prayer, the sacraments and especially the Eucharist. Doctrine - or traditional Church teaching, and Christian Morality - or a living response to the God of love calling us to live according to the teaching and example of Jesus Christ. Included in the manual will be an outline for each ofthe stages of development of children and adolescent youth from early primary classes through to upper secondary. There will also be clear guidelines indicating both the principles of Christian faith and morals to be ta ught and also soundly based educational approaches suitable for teaching these. The four languages of faith above are not taught separately, as if they were distinct parts adding up to a whole. The four are integrated into the teaching of every guideline, and teaching strategies for each would include use of scripture and prayer as well as doctrine and moral teaching. Religious education is part of the education of the whole person. At e.B.e. we are firmly committed to the belief that all our education has to be Christian ed ucation and so religious education has to be in some way a~ element within all of our teaching. Religious education classes have the purpose of enabling the student, not simply to learn about Christian faith , but to grow in faith . Faith is a human response to a personal God. Education in faith, then, has to be education in human development, . so that the young person learns about him / herself and about relating to others. It also has to be about a God who has revealed himself, and continues to reveal himself as a loving God , wanting to enter into a relationship with every person willing to respond to Him.
God is reflected in his creatIOn, and the crown of his creation is the human person. The ultimate outcome of religious education is that young people will develop into fully human persons who, in spite of the limitations each one might ha ve, reflect God in their lives. Then, when a number of fully human persons form a Christian community of Christian families and individuals what Church is meant to be, the limitations of indi~idual persons tend to fade into the background, and together we are more able to reflect God . In 1986, we have used draft documents of the new guidelines to enrich our teaching, but we are looking forward to getting the whole of it, in its complete form , for 1987. There will be a parent manual, too. It is the family that guides the young person toward s full human development . If religious development, growing up in faith is missing from the home, the school cannot make up for ~he loss. In most of e.B.e. families there is a background of faith or, at least, a willingness to make up for what has been lacking. The parent manual should be a help to p~rents to participate with the young in their growing in faith and to become involved with the school at C.B.e. in the religious education programme. Chaplaincy at C.B.C. Traditionally, the Oblate Community at Fremantle have been chaplains at e.B.e. as well as to the Christian Brothers' Community. In recent years, the growth of the school and the heavy commitment of the Oblates to parish, hospital chaplaincy and gaol chaplaincy, have made it necessary for e.B.e. to ask priests from surrounding parishes to help. In 1986 Fr. Michael Keohane O.M.I., Fremantle, has been a stalwart celebrant of the weekly Mass on Wednesdays, Father Paul Fogarty (Rockingham), Yin Conroy (Army Chaplain), Jim Mullins (Mosman Park), Liam Keating (Beaconsfield), Bob Dowd, O.Carm. (Hilton), and Barry Whitely (Spearwood) have been of immense help to us doing chaplaincy work for various class levels at c.B.e. We are especially grateful to Fr. Fogarty who more than doubled up for us when some others of our regular priest chaplains were away on holidays.
C.B.C. IN THE COMMUNITY ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
1986 has been a good year for our Conference in that we have kept consistently to our Thursday lunch-time meeting and weekly activity; membership, too, has gradually grown. From time to time we've been able to make some special contributions. Our efforts have included: a weekly visit, by two of us in turn, to Skye Hospital, with reading material or a gift (Easter). A sunday afternoon drive to Kings Park for eleven of our friend s from Skye. We even made the sandwiches, and , better still, they were popular! A Clothing Drive for the St. Vincent de Paul Shop in East Fremantle. window cleaning and gardening for some elderly folk. a donation of $25 towards the work of the Christian Brothers for the very poor in Calcutta. As this magazine is being prepared we are organising a Cak e Stall for Family Day, the proceeds to go for the benefit of the Calcutta "Street Kids". We are also planning a second outing for our friends at Skye. The responsibilities of Office-bearers were passed on at the end of Semester I as follows :
1985-1986
1986-1987
President: Andrew Ross Mark Glen Secretary: Mark Glen Craig Talbot Treasurer: Richard Miles Michael Stone Br. Seaman continued as Assistant to the Conference. Besides the above, our membership includes Dolrench Dias, Anthony Car, Anthony Doherty, Ric Oituzar, Shane Morley and Justin Rath. Joe Algeri was a valued member until he left school at mid-year. We feel that the spirit of the St. Vincent de Paul Society is alive and well at C.B.C. We thank God for that. We are grateful , too , in a special way to Andrew and Mark for their leadership and to the many members of Staff and to those parents who have given warm support.
COMMUNITY SERVICE This year, students in Year 9 have continued their services to our Senior Citizens by going once a fortnight, during their lunch break, to the Uniting Church Hall in High Street. This opportunity is provided by the combined churches in the Fremantle area, where senior citizens are picked up from various nursing homes and brought to the hall for community activities. During 1986, 70 students have helped our senior citizens to play Bingo, join in Community Singing and then serve them refreshments . The service has proved very successful, the elderly people have really enjoyed having the students company and look forward to them arriving at 12.45 p.m. The people who run the centre, speak highly of the students willingness to help in any way and of their good standard of beha viour. Finally, the students readily agree that they find their involvement in the Community Service Programme, a worthwhile and rewarding experience. In conclusion, may I personally thank all those students who have been involved for making my task of organising such an enjoyable one. M.O. Ellis
Y.C.S. REPORT In 1986, Y.C.S . has played a less vocal role within the school community, with more emphasis on being active within the Movement. The group has produced a Newsletter, and has taken part in the organisation and functioning of various committees within the Movement. In this sense, we have achieved one of the aims of the student-run Y.C.S . movement, namely: student initiative and involvement. This year, the school group consisted of mainly Year I I students, with a few Year lOs showing a brief but appreciated interest. In 1987, with the group consisting of largely Year 12 students, we will need the support of students in other years to keep us going. Students interested in taking an active role in the formation and improvement of the student world, are eagerly welcomed. We look forward to a year of action by the Y.C.S . in 1987.
PARENTS AND FRIENDS' REPORT 1986 Participation generates ideas and ideas are the source of real contribution by the Parents and Friends' to the e.B.e. School Community. This was the overall theme that was reinforced for 1986 activities. This involvement commenced with the election of 18 committee members at the Annual General Meeting and continued throughout the year. It was also most encouraging to be able to welcome at each meeting non-committee parents and teachers to each of our monthly meetings. Attendances averaged 24 with our highest attendance being 43 at the May Meeting at Rockingham. Activities of the P&F embrace several different facets, all of equal importance: Fund Raising for School Betterment The $15.00 levy per family remained the primary method of fund raising and the committee expressed its sincere thanks to all parents who contributed to this fund (72%). The approximately $5,600 raised, will primarily be used for the much needed classroom partitioning walls at the Tuckfield Street Campus ($5,000) and a new brick wall on the Ellen Street Campus. Liturgy The Opening Mass, Founder's Day Mass and Family Day Mass were important events on the school P&F calendar. The success of these events for 1986 offered all committee members much encouragement. Social Forget the work, let's just relax together and enjoy ourselves. The Mothers' and Fathers' Day Dinner Dances were delightful in achieving the above. Hard Labour Money cannot achieve everything and sometimes many hands are required to upgrade the campuses. The P&F assisted with the organisation of the busy bees and again success was the end product.
Darrel Jarvis -
President of P&F.
Educational The possible formation of a School Board dominated the activities of the Educational Liaison Sub Committee during 1986. A special convened well attended meeting of parents strongly supported the formation of a School Board. On a more direct education level, a talk given on drugs by the W.A. Police Force was appreciated by the parents that attended. Of course the above examples given under each heading are not an exhaustive list of everything achieved by the P&F for 1986. The continuation of the system of Sub Committees assisted with the involvement theme and thanks must go to all members of the Committee for their willingness to contribute ideas, time and effort. Many thanks also to the parents and teachers who supported the committee by attendance at meetings and to Br Kelly for his patience and assistance to Committee members. Best Wishes to the 1987 Committee.

THE OPENING MASS 1986 being the International Year of Peace, the theme of the Opening Mass was peace in ourselves and our families. His Grace Archbishop W. Foley was the chief celebrant and St. Patrick's Church was filled to capacity. In fact, twenty students had spent the afternoon putting an extra 140 chairs in the aisles. The Archbishop's message was the urgent need for peace in the world . He stressed that the lives of our students were very different from those of young people in a place like El Salvador, for example. Here in Australia, we had much to be thankful for yet still we needed peace, particularly within ourselves and our families. He saw the task of each one of us as being to try to work towards achieving this. Mass was followed by a delicious (if somewhat cramped) supper that had been organised by the P&F. It was a great opportunity to catch up on the news after the long summer break.
FOUNDER'S DAY Founder's Day coincided with the Feast of the Assumption so the day was equally divided between Mary and Edmund Rice. Fr. 1. Bianchini, celebrant, said that it was fitting that the two should come together as Edmund Rice had always a great love for Our Lady, who was the most gifted of human beings. They bot set an example that we should try to follow. After Mass, students returned to school for a celebration lunch in their classrooms. They were dismissed at twelve o'clock to enjoy a half-day holiday, and staff celebrated together at a restaurant. T. Letizia

A FAMILY AFFAIR FAMILY DAY 1986 Preparations for Family Day were well into gear several weeks before the event. Family Day is a P&F initiative so a committee of parents, staff and students were responsible for the planning. The theme decided upon was Unity and Peace, Family Day falling between United Nations Day and the Papal Day of Peace. Celebrant Father Jegorow's homily stressed how very fortunate the majority of our students were to have firsthand experience of two different cultures. It is this understanding and acceptance of different lifestyles that is the basis of achieving peace with our neighbours, and ultimately with other nations. He suggested a four-minute peace plan that we could all practice daily - that is to devote sixty seconds, four times a day: upon waking, upon leaving in the morning, upon our return, and at bedtime, to telling our families that we loved them and forgave them for anything they'd done. The Jarvis family took up the offertory, including two beautiful, white doves lent by Mr. Garrett, and the Neesham family read the Prayers of the Faithful. Behind the altar were the winning entries in the Peace Poster Competition that had run throughout the school in the preceding weeks. An extra-large marquee had been hired by the P&F, but even this was insufficient for the thousand or so people who attended. There were many displays of students' work for parents to view. For the first time, the Art Department made an appearance, especially featuring a painting by Lawrence Halden, Year 11 , that had been on display in the W.A. Art Gallery. The Music Makers showed parents the vegemite paintings that had been presented to them by artist Peter Browne, on their South Australian Tour. The numerous photos and projects were tributes to the many varied and exciting activities that had taken place at e.B.e. during the year. The various bands had prominent places in the day's programme, especially the e.B.e. Jazz Orchestra which scored a huge crowd. A lesser, though equally enthusiastic crowd cheered the Year 12 Basketballers to victory 37-36 over a very game staff team. Commentator Stuart Temby kept staff on their toes, and provided great entertainment with his teasing, but derisive, remarks about their prowess. Two other highlights of the day, especially for the juniors, were the Gymnastics display, where children were invited to participate, and the St. Vincent De Paul Cake Stall. This was wonderfully supported by our mums, and disappeared in record time, raising $275 .00. In retrospect, everyone seemed to enjoy the day, the only suggestion for improvement being that next year, we'll have to re-think how we're going to fit everyone in. T. Letizia
PUBLI C SPEAK IN G 1986 This year saw a large group of keen entrants in public speaking competitions and events. The first competition was the Youth Speaks for Australia series. The range of topics was wide and all competitors managed to compose an interesting and often highly original talk . The standard of presentation showed a pleasing development in confidence and competence and S. Temby in the seniors and P. McLeod represented the school at the regional semi-finals. Rostrum's Voice of Youth followed and provided another valuable opportunity for acquiring skills and style in speech. Our sincere thanks go to Mr. R. Olsen of our local Rostrum branch for his encouragement and organisation of our school trials. e. Talbot, A. McGuire and P . McLeod went on to represent us in the regional finals at Applecross SHS.
Two days before this they had attended a luncheon meeting of the local Rostrum branch. During lunch a very witty Rostrum meeting was held , giving a fine example of the various styles of effective public speaking. The boys gave their speeches and an assessor then gave a very helpful commentary to help them to prepare for the next stage of competition. Both these competitions were most successful in encouraging good public speaking within the school. This was demonstrated when Stewart Temby was selected to give an address on 'Our Past' at the Fremantle Day celebrations on the Esplanade. Stewart spoke with great confidence and effect and was commended by the Governor, Professor Reid . Thanks are due to Mr. McIntyre for help in preparation and to all the staff who supported our speakers with¡ encouragement in what is always a nerveracking ordeal.

BALL REPORT On the 15th August, 1986, the e.B.e. Annual School Ball 'Vas held in Perth, at the Kings Ambassador Hotel. It was attended by the Year II and staff members. Planning for the Ball commenced very early in the year and each of the Ball Committee members were assigned tasks for the organisation of the Ball. One of the major assignments was to get the initial price down, and this was done by the sale of chocolates. This turned out to be very successful, and encouraged more student participation in the Ball. Thanks must go to Mark Walsh who worked hard to organise the sales, and helping Robert Mascaro in the final matters. Venue organisation was left to Robert Neesham, who worked hard also, on getting an excellent hotel. Other members of the Ball Committee, John Toomey, and Josh Incerpi, gave great support in the numerous meetings they attended. The keeping of "Books" was left to Wayne Hobin who helped us with all financial matters. Robert Mascaro organised the band , who inevitably were e.B.e. old boys, "Silent Numbers", and they played excellently, keeping us on the dance floor all night. Many thanks must to go Mrs. Letizia who helped with almost everything, especially in organising the floral arrangements, and photographer. Thanks to Br. Kelly for giving us the all clear for the Ball.

SCHOOL COUNSELLOR LIFE AND TIMES OF!
I I ,I
Miss Nicole Gray joined the College in September 1985 and has had a busy time stretching herself I '1:1 kilometres across the two campuses and 600 students. Each Tuesday is spent at Tuckfield Street Campus where she is involved in individual and group counselling work. She seeks to provide assistance to students who may be having . difficulties in areas relating to school work, school life and sometimes school and home! In addition to counselling this occasionally requires her to carry out some psychological assessment of students abilities in order for appropriate teaching programmes and strategies to be developed . The group work has proved valuable in helping students share common problems and concerns and make individuals feel less lonely or isolated. Working closely with other Teachers, Staff and Parents is essential to the Counsellors role . At Ellen Street, her work takes on a stronger careers focus which centres around the Work Experience Programme for Year 12 students, and some Year II s. Helping students to identify goals and deal with the issues that interfere with attaining these goals is a large part of their counselling role. This makes her an integral part of the Schools' Pastoral Care Programme. A course for parents in helping them relate to their sons in those problem teenage years was a highlight for the year. Many parents expressed great relief and value in being able to share concerns and explore new ways. Assisting a group of worried Year 12s develop potent exam attack strategies and maintain motivation under intense T .E.E. pressure proved to be fun as well as hard work. So all in all a busy but varied and enjoyable year it sounds!
SOCIAL WORK PROGRAMME My work this year has been spread between three secondary and four primary schools, and so C.Re. has had a 117th share of the Social Worker. Time was short, but good things were accomplished. Helping students to settle into the high schools was one facet of my work this year. In their final term at primary school we had done three workshops together on "Changes", where we looked at the way they had coped with changes in the past and then went ahead to anticipate what they might experience at secondary school. These workshops helped me establish good contact with the students and they were pleased to see a familiar face when they arrived at their new school. Counselling students and parents when they faced difficulties wa's another side of the programme. Parents wisely asked for help when they were worried about their child's behaviour or when they were concerned that their child was unsettled or unhappy. Teachers were helpful in bringing to my notice any students whom they thought were distracted or burdened and students came to me with their own problems. A programme to help parents understand and deal with their teenagers was something else I was involved in during the year. This was a joint venture with De Vialar College and over ten weeks we presented many topics relating to communication with teenagers and discipline. Teachers often need a sounding board and plenty of encouragement. Providing these was something I saw as important. I am delighted that my association with e.Re. will continue in 1987. In fact it seems that I will be increasing the time I spend at school each week and so can implement some new ideas. Jan Morgan

LIAISON OFFICER In my role as home-school liaison officer (which I have held for the past nine years) I deal mainly with families of non English speaking backgrounds. My knowledge of several different languages is often required when dealing with these families . My chief occupation is to liaise with teachers, students and parents when problems arise - be that behavioural, academic or personal. I am also involved in making sure that children with special health problems are looked after, by taking them for testing and subsequent treatment by doctors etc. Whenever required I act as interpreter at new enrolments interviews, parent i teacher meetings (at which I am present). Many families do speak some English but having me there gives them more confidence to ask questions and it also gives them an opportunity to exchange views with me. As well as being a liaison officer I also co-ordinate meals and cook for all class camps, from Christian Brothers' College as well as St. Patrick's at which I hold the same position. I also co-ordinate the activities of the volunteers (mums and dads) who come to help. The great advantage of working at both schools is that over the years I get to know many of the children and families very well. Manuela Faria

THE YEAR THIRTEEN CAMP Late nights and early mornings spent playing poker and pool does not quite sound like the normal activities for a Christian Brothers College school camp, but they were some of the things the Year Thirteens found to absorb their interest on the camp. The camp was held over the weekend from Friday September 19 to Sunday September 21, and it was held at the Star Of The Sea Campsite at Mandurah. It had been organised as a follow-up of sorts to last year's Year Twelve camp, and though the emphasis for each camp was similar, they were, by necessity, both run very differently. The atmosphere of the camp was one of its better aspects . It was very relaxed and very friendly, all that a school camp should be. Old friends could talk over old times, as well as about what has happened in the months since the end of school last year. The camp attracted fourteen from the leaving class of '85 . Less than half the total class number, but enough for the camp to succeed . The camp enabled people to meet others whom they hadn't seen for a long time . Some people, even good friends, had not seen each other since the end of school last year. The changes that time had made upon people were hardly unnoticeable. At the end of the camp there were many mocking gestures of tears at having to part, though there was real sadness in having to leave ones school-mates for a: second time. Overall, it was a wonderful way to get the group back together again and a lot must be said for the effort put in by the school. The food was taken care of expertly by Mrs. Croll and helpers - Mrs. Gavin. Thanks must also go to Mrs . Letizia for her help , as well as to Mrs. Hart and Mrs. Miller for their effort on the participation side of things . All in all a supreme effort. (Three cheers! ... ) Alf Scalise Year Thirteen C. B.

YEAR 12 R.E. CAMP YEAR 12 R.E. WORKSHOP For five days , at the end of Term I, a group of over 50 Year 12 students, had a good excuse to get away from school. As in previous years, the hills of larrahdale were the scenery for yet another successful R.E. workshop. A dedicated team of mothers led by Mrs. Faria did a great job in catering for the gastronomic needs of the Year 12s. The whole group seemed very impressed with the facilities provided at the camp site, amidst the peaceful surroundings. When the time came to get down to business, Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Colgan, Br. Murphy, Miss Gray and Br. Kelly, who were the facilitators, finally had the chance to put into practice all the hours of hard work they had done in preparing for the sessions. Everyone enjoyed the opportunity to discuss issues which cannot usually be dealt with on a school basis and new areas for personal awareness as well as personal relationships were opened up through this experience. Br. Travers, Mr. Doran and Mr. McIntyre, on the other hand didn't have much work to do in what related to supervising the Year 12s, who behaved in a very orderly manner - just as usual! The Year 12 Workshop proved to be very fruitful both as lead up to the Year 13 Camp-Workshop, where many of the skills can be further developed, as well as an experience in itself. Bravo! Rick da Paz

YEAR 11 NORTH WEST R.E. CAMP
YEAR 11 R.E. CAMP It all began on this year's Year II R .E. camp when a session with Mr. Vic Hunterfrom the Catholic Education Department aroused our interest in making a trip to the North West to ~xperience the lifestyle of the Aboriginal people for ourselves. A committee was formed and met on Mondays with Br. St. John to plan the trip. Our major problem was how to meet the cost but the committee organised a highly effective fund-raising campaign and raised over four and a half thousand dollars . The Participation and Equity Programme, whiclt aims to encourage the development of relationships between staff, students and parents, provided a generous grant of $2,000 and we were able to plan with confidence rather than just hope! All the planning (and last minute panic) came together on the Sunday after third term ended as we staggered through the morning mists to board our two buses for the journey. Despite the length of the trip ahead we were bubbling with enthusiasm and looking forward to our arrival two days ahead in Broome. On the journey up our food was organised by Mrs . Jokovich whose talents kept us going. Our drivers were Br. St. John, Mr. McIntyre, Mr. Stone (Michael's Dad) and Mr. Peter Hann from Catholic Education Office whose family also gamely joined us . Thanks to their efforts we arrived in Broome 36 hours, 5 kangaroos and two unidentified flying objects later, suffering from the Northwest equivalent of jetlag (roolag?). On Monday night we had a much needed rest at Nulungu College thanks to the kindness ofBr. Wedd. We made a night trip to a local beach to see the 'stairway to the moon' but despite a very long stare all we saw was the moon . It was a relief though to sleep on real mattresses and the first sleep some of us had had since leaving. We began the next day with a swim at the magnificent Cable Beach but by II we were on the road again, and what a road ! For three hours we bumped along in a cloud of genuine Northwest red dust. Some improvised plague masks out of kleenex tissues but most of us just lay back and acquired an artificial red tan . With great relief we clambered out of our gritty seats to ourfirst experience of Lombadina and to meet the locals. The settlement looked similar to Rottnest with cottages scattered among lush shrubbery and a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere .
Before we'd finished settling in some of the children had tempted the faster unpackers into a game that is a way of life up there - basketball. Despite a small height
advantage (all the locals were about 5 or 6 years old) we found it hard not to lose throughout our stay. Perhaps the little girl who climbed our goal post and sat on the hoop had something to do with it! That evening our host family, the Sobisados, prepared a fish barbecue for us with probably the best fish we'd tasted . Afterwards 'Auntie' Lizzie shared some of the good and hard times of her long life with us and answered our questions. We were beginning to see from her first hand experience how badly Aboriginal people have been treated in our society. She told us how important their Christian faith and traditional beliefs have been in their difficulties and tragedies . On the second morning we split into two groups. One went off to the mangrove swamp with Br. Bill Marchant as a guide. The second group , armed with long spears and great hopes, went off to the reef with Vic. It's too hard to express in words the sense of beauty and peace ofthe land we walked through . We joined together for a meal of damper and all had a go at making some. The results ranged from highly professional loaves to sand-encrusted cannon balls with gooey dough inside. All, regardless of quality, were eaten as our hunting skills were not in evidence. On the following day we travelled to meet a different tribal group at One Arm Point. During a basketball match (again!) the previous evening they had offered to let us accompany them on a turtle hunt. The weather, as always during our stay, was wonderfully hot and the water as clear and inviting as a travel advertisement. We were ferried out by dinghy to an island for an afternoon's swimming while Matthew and John accompanied the locals on the actual hunt. The turtles were killed in a traditional and unsentimental way and their flesh cooked. It tasted like a moister, sweeter version of Iamb. That night the community put on a corroboree for the visitors and our photographs can't hope to catch the magic of the event. (Even Mr. Stengel's.) This was typical of the kindness and hospitality which we met from the Aboriginal people who were eager to share some of their culture and way of life with us . On the last day another group returned to the mangroves, with Ms Gray and Ms Willans nervously looking for crocodiles, and had some success with fishing. Our catch looked sad though compared to the efforts of some 6 year olds fishing with spears and effortlessly landing fish after fish . We eventually ended up at the local beach, huge, deserted and magnificent, for a final swim. We returned to Broome the next morning and had two days of enjoying the beach there before beginning our trek back. This was more leisurely than the journey up and' gave us the chance to see the new towns of the North and Cossack, the ghost town. The committee, on behalf of all the students, wish to thank all the adults on the 1rip for their help with organising, cooking, driving and decision-making. We learned a lot about ourselves and each other and built many new relationships. Above all we were lucky to be given the privilege of being the only group of whites to be invited into Lombadina to stay and we are deeply grateful to the community there for asking us and extending their hospitality to us and to Br. St. John and Vic Hunter for making it all possible. Paul Grisewood

MUSIC COMMITTEE 1986 The 1986 year began in December 1985 when the new committee met after the A.G.M. to outline plans for 1986. The Music Committee meetings (open to anyone interested) aim to support the very worthwhile music programme in the school. Inevitably, fund raising does occur, but this is secondary to gathering people, together in the name of music. Functions which promoted both aims this year include: The Luncheon held in March and well supported by music and non-music parents! The highlight of this occasion, apart from the good food provided by committee members, was the performance of first the Intermediate Band followed by the Jazz Orchestra. The Progressive Dinner an innovative venture, was highly successful and sure to be repeated. Hors d'oeuvres were held at the Tuckfield Street Campus, Entree at the home of Yene and Jim Fitzgerald, Main Course at the home of Jan and Kevin O'Brien and Dessert and Coffee at the home of Pamela and John Cattalini. The Diners and Winers were transported by Brother Kelly in the school bus. If an army marches on its stomach, then I'm sure our band members play on theirs! The music committee provided sustenance with the minimum of full for sixty seven CB.C musicians at the Music Camp. From all accounts the boys and their teachers were well fed and the camp voted a harmonious success!
MUSIC CAMP Seventy four boys attended this year's Music Camp, held at the Tuckfield Campus, a Music Camp that would rank undoubtedly as our best yet. The students were treated to a wide range of musical experiences and practice supervisors. Friday evening we were treated to a background of traditional Aboriginal music by Ken Colbung and Josie Boyle, involving the playing of gum leaves, didgeridoo, boomerangs and tapping sticks. Saturday saw a large influx of musicians, either as members of two small jazz groups, or the West Australian Youth Jazz Orchestra (W.A.Y.J.O.), or Gary Ridg and friends playing traditional percussion instruments from Africa and South America. These people were heavily involved with workshop sessions with students after their demonstration performances. A good day's programme was completed with a beautiful Mass, a Mass that was celebrated so fittingly in the mood of the camp - of co-operation, involvement, peace, and prayer. Band practice sessions on Friday night and Sunday morning owed their success to the involvement of Mr. Graeme Hoskins of Concept Music, Mrs . Leanne Milligan of Aquinas College, and Randall Humich our Captain of Music. And finally, the success of a camp is always determined by the satisfaction of boy's stomachs, and this was most efficiently catered for by the gastronomic delights of our Music mothers. To all involved, including the nine staff members and Mr. Carl Ciccarelli of St. Brendan's College sincere thanks for a magnificent and worthwhile camp.
The 'Musical Interlude' - an annual music committee function is in its fourth year. Cassie and Jacques Morin offered their home this year for the N ovemberfunction. A line up of varied musical items, including the return of the popular 'Floreat Singers and a new item of Guitar and Percussionist, together with intervals of wine and tasty things to nibble ensured the splendid kind of evening regular goers have come to expect. The A.G.M. held in the last week of Term is the final function of the committee of 1986! Marlene Dullard (chairperson), Glen Paterson (Secretary), Maria Zappavigna (Treasurer) supported by a hardworking and enthusiastic band of music mums.
A FEW NOTES FROM YOUR MUSIC MASTER Come December, sure as Santa Claus drops by with his bag of goodies so arrives the CB.C. School Annual now in its fourth edition. We teachers are being asked to write our reports and say a few nice things about the year gone by - I'd rather let the photographs speak for themselves and dedicate this space to some current thoughts. Hardlya day goes by, when I don't receive some outside inquiry regarding the current music syllabus and how it is being handled at C.B.C - Well, let me tell you; we don't teach the still current syllabus that dates back to the 1930s. Dare I say it: We concentrate on Jazz-education. Something the education department tells me will be implemented in schools probably in the year 1989. The terminology 'Modern Music' has an entirely different meaning today in comparison to what modern music meant 20 or 30 years ago. Jazz especially has become an integral part of the modern music scene today. The gap between the contemporary music for the concert halls and that of the jazz idiom is narrowing to a point where perhaps some day there will be no distinction. The individual musician is now more prominent and important, especially in creative aspects. He is better trained and understands theory and modern harmony. He is constantly seeking, creating and developing a style of his own. Like traditional composition, jazz improvisation is a craft. It is a conditioning of the mind , body and spirit, brought about by the study of musical principles, which in turn are quite traditional. Why then specialise in jazz education? Jazz is a significant and vital music language uuly of our time. It was born and bred in the 20th century and its value has increased with the years and it has developed beyond its relatively humble and isolated beginnings to become a sophisticated art form which speaks an international world wide language. My gratitude and sincere thanks go to a very special group of people who support our music programme in every possible way, all year round with untiring enthusiasm. They are of course our parents music committee. I am equally indebted to a number of very dedicated professional musicians , music educators and students of the academy of performing arts at Mt. Lawley, who helped make our 1986 music camp the great success it was and passed on their contagious enthusiasm on to our boys. Uwe Stengle, Music Master

STUDENTS AT WORK YEAR 12 GEOGRAPHY EXCURSION As part of the geography programme, the Year 12 geographers (us!) had the opportunity to have a taste of country life as we spent two days at the Salvado College in New Norcia. The purpose of the excursion was to get a first hand impression of commercial farming. From Heirisson Island up to Bindoon we were required to observe the changes in land-use as we got further away from Perth. Mr. Wood, our anfitrian also told us about the various aspects of commercial farming, including farm routine and procedures, cost analysis, wheat/ sheep farming as well as mixed farming (horses, hens , market garden and pigs).
ART - YEAR 11 Year I I (T.E.E.) art was introduced to CB.C for the first time this year. I I boys were bussed over to the Tuckfield Campus four days per week by Brother Kelly. As these sessions went on into lunchtime, some poor boys complained continually ' about their stomachs, but managed to survive somehow! It has been a challenging year. Work undertaken has included drawing exercises, studio projects in painting, graphics and printmaking and the study of three specific art history period s. Excursions to the Art Gallery to view " Golden Summers" and the Perth Museum to study the Aboriginal Gallery helped to bring art to life.

COMPUTING Computing is now in its second year at CB.C and is proving a worthwhile option for many students. At the start of 1986 the MuItilink network was updated to allow more memory to be available at each of the 15 Commodore 64 satellites thus making it possible to load larger programs such as Pascal. This language is now replacing Basic as the main programming language Years 9- I 2. A single 'stand-alone' Commodore 64 computer with disc-drive brings the total number of computers available for use by the Year 9 and 10 option classes to 16. This year 200 students in Years 9 and 10 selected computing as an option; 26 students elected to do the General Computing course in Year I I and 28 students completed this course in Year 12. To cater for the Year 12 topic on 'Communications' two Modems were installed together with a powered telephone link so that data transmissions could be simulated between two computers in the classroom .. A variety of baud rates, modes, paritys and stop bit settings are possible with the type of modems acquired and this has enabled the students to perform a series of communications experiments as part of a Governmentfunded project for W .A.I.T. To support the new TEE Computing course commencing in Year I I next year, three compatible IBM PC/ XT computers and an Epsom printer have been purchased. This equipment will enable students to program in artificial intelligence languages such as Prolog, study Machine code and Assembler programming procedures and carry out 'debugging' techniques using operating systems such as MS-DOS which is the current PC benchmark. Each of these computers has dual disc-drives and 680K of memory to allow large database programs to be used . During the year an emphasis has been placed in all courses on word processing skills such as typing and formatting documents. As a result, many students have been able to better organise their assignment work in other subject areas. G. Revell
CRAFT 1986 In the year under review for this option, the number of students involved were: 47 from Year 9 51 from Year 10 5 from Year I I Latent skills were revealed as Year 9 turned out some interesting macrame and leather goods . Year 10 showed their ability at wood burning, string and tack, leather and pop sticks. Year I I studied Screen Printing. This particular craft has future potential for those interested in pursuing the subject at technical college. However, the basics taught at school are sufficient to enable students to indulge in a hobby that could provide a small financial gain. Pottery was also another craft that Year I I were also involved. In addition, Year 10 students were encouraged to develop craft skills they were taught at Year 9 level. Overall, we are pleased to report that students who have attended our craft sessions have reached a high standard of performance and no doubt, "Family Day" exhibits will have substantiated this comment. Our 1987 programme will embrace the reinforcement of skills introduced this year and a continuation of earlier projects. M.O. Ellis
STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL The 1986 school year has been a most successful term in office for the SRe. The main aim of SRC was that of improving the school spirit through increased student participation in activities, both sporting and academic. The SRC took a new high profile that was intended to make them more recognisable and approachable. To ¡ facilitate the aim of increased effectiveness, fundamental changes were made to the structure of the SRC, and a hard-line method of planned feedback was installed. To fulfil the function of the SRC properly, that is as an effective mode of communication between the students and the administration , the changes in structure catered for the inclusion of a representative of the administration to be present and functional in the SRC, and the person appointed was Mr. Forlin. He worked in conjunction with Mr. Garrett having the purpose of providing an on-the-spot decision for whether motions would be viable or not. Mr. Garrett provided an experienced view of motives and kept the line of thought relevant. I would take the opportunity to thank both these staff members for helping us to realise our aims . The achievements of the SRC were very much in line with the expectations set by the committee themselves. The ACC Swimming Carnival was a great success, both in the pool, and in the stands, due to the efforts of students in organising war cries and practises. The organisation of the inaugural CBC Triathlon at Point Walter in March was one of the highlights of the school year. Sponsorshi~ from Coca-Cola allowed cans to be obtained free-ofcharge for competitors. Other activities included organisation of the school ball, and involvement on Family Day, civvies day, etc. The SRC also enabled many students to gain experience in decision-making and decision processes. Overall, it would rate as one of the most successful years for the SRC at CBC, FremantIe. Robert Neesham Chairman

ITALIAN AT C.B.C. 1986 At present e. B. e. offers Italian to students of Year 8 through to Year 12. At the Year 8 level it is a compulsory unit. From Years 9 to 12 it becomes optional. This years Year 8 students were exposed to 40 minutes per week of Italian. It is planned that the 1987 Year 8's will have 80 minutes per week. As the students progress through the years the time allocated to Italian increases. At the Year 9/ 10 level, 160 minutes per week is spent in Italian and at the upper school level is it 240 minutes per week. This years Year 9s and lOs were treated to an outing to an Italian restaurant in Fremantle. The food was excellent and both staff and students enjoyed themselves. As part of the cultural element of the course, this outing enabled students to experience delicious Italian cuisine. It is hoped that this type of outing will be an annual event. On the 17th of October students from Year I I and 12 were able to have a valuable linguistic experience. They attended a play produced by the U. W.A. Italian Students' Theatre Group. The play entitled "La Lettera di Manna" by Di Fillipo was enjoyed by all. Once again in August students from years 10, I I and 12 took part in Dante Alighieri examinations. Certificates were presented in November to thesuccessful students. I wish especially to congratulate the successful year II and 12 students as they sat their exams whilst still under the spell of their senior ball. Junior Level: John Giallorenzo, Francesco Mignacca, Anthony Monaco Intermediate Level: Marco Faccin, Gaiovanni Panizza Senior Level: Claude Carrello, Anthony Mancini, Luciano Ottaviano The Annual Year 12 Italian Camp was held at Sorrento in July. The weekend proved to be a most enjoyable and valuable educational and social experience for the five boys who attended.
STUDENTEXCHANGE1~6 As has occurred in previous years e.B.e. once again had the pleasure of hosting an exchange student from Italy. On the 17th June Bruno Riccio arrived in Perth along with another 20 exchange students. Bruno was hosted by the Ruggiero family of Hamilton Hill. Sincere thanks to the Ruggiero family for their kind hospitality. Whilst at e.B.e. Bruno mainly attended classes with the ~ppe.r school students. He was very keen to study English literature and contributed much to these lessons. Bruno was fortunate to have had many valuable experiences. He was invited to visit a country school in Lake Grace. He was very impress~ d by our countryside and enjoyed his visit greatly. All in all Bruno's stay at e.B.e. was enjoyable and of great educational value. A special thanks must go to staff and students ofe.B.e. for making Bruno's stay in our school a successful one. In December of this year Frank Mignacca of Year 10 has been chosen as one of a group of W.A. students to go to Italy. Congratulations go to Frank and we hope that his stay in Italy will be of great educational and social value. Mrs; M. Dimasi
A WORKING EXPERIENCE WORK EXPERIENCE 1986 The organisation for the Work Experience Programme commenced in February with a telephone call from a parent to the Co-ordinator, Miss Gray offering a placement. This started the ball rolling with parents and students organising approximately 40% of the 140 placements eventually used . It was particularly pleasing to see students taking the initiative and writing to firms in order to place themselves. A wide range of careers were experienced from bricklayer through to musician. Evaluation of the experience from both employers and students was glowing with praise. Even those students whose dreams about a career were crushed by the reality of the work found the experience in the workforce a truly rewarding one. Some students found that school isn't such a bad place after all! Special thanks must go to the mothers who helped with the onerous administrative task of sending out hundreds ofletters. They are Mrs. Watton, Mrs. Barton, Mrs. Jarvis and Mrs . Zagami; and thanks to Mrs . Hamilton in the office who patiently handled many telephone enquiries. The value of work experience programme perhaps best indicated by the three Year II boys that gave up a week of their holidays to get some extra experience. In 1987 given the large increase in the number of Year lOs the responsibility for organising work experience will be largely up to the student with the support and encouragement of Miss Gray . This should only add to the programme being a valuable learning experience.
MATHS REPORT - 1986 National Maths Week 1986, took place in August from Monday 4th to Friday 8th. In order to give students the opportunity to participate fully in this week, the Maths Department at e.B.e. organised three competitions on the Ellen Street Campus and one on the Tuckfield Street Campus. As well, on August 6th, 234 e.Re. students took part in the Australian Mathematics Competition for the West pac Awards. This year, for the first time, 32 e.B.e. students from Year 7 joined with students from years 8 to 12 to enter the Westpac Competition, making 234 entries in all from e.B.e. of these candidates 23 were awarded distinctions and 78 credit passes, i.e. 43 % of our entrants gained either a distinction or a credit. Those who gained a distinction ranked within the top 15% of students from W.A. for their year, and those with credits within the top 45% of students for their year. Two students from year 8, Marc Schaper and Sean McGunnigle, one from year 9 Tomasz Pietrzak, and three from Year 10, John Swiderski, Lorenzo Mascaro and Mark Carter all ranked within the top 5% of the state for their respective years. Two students from Year II , David Messer and Sean Atkinson ranked within the top 10% of the State for that year, while Kim Mitchell from Year 8 and Royce Goodall from Year 12, ranked within the top 20% for their respective years.

9M AND 9C CAMP Music blaring, kids shouting, and the bus moves out of the school grounds. Down Ellen Street and along the road to Jarrahdale 9M and 9C left for camp. . One hour and many signposts later, we had arrived! Piling off the bus and into dormitories, we soon realised we outnumbered the beds, two to one. As the teachers tried vainly to organise the sleeping arrangements, the kids wandered the grounds examining the leaches in the older pool and the swings. Hours passed till the bus with our sleeping bags and clothes arrived to the screams and cheers ofthe kids. As it began raining we had lunch in the common room, and Mr. Moran set up a little Burswood Island Casino and the kids showed great enthusiasm losing their poker chips to him. The day passed quickly and presently we were called for dinner. Many hoped that afterwards a game of "spotlight" could be arranged , but this had to be cancelled due to the continuing rain . At 10 o'clock we were sent to bed. We were awoken in the middle of the night 5.00 a.m ., by Mr. Moran and assembled for a gruelling run of almost 50km! Arriving, wearily, back at the dormitories we showered and were called for breakfast. After breakfast, most kids braved the torrential rains and gale force winds, to explore the small brook running parallel to the camp. Some of the braver students, decked in shorts, played a few games of tennis, with 9M being the victors in all matches . (Of course!) After lunch that day Mr. Moran and Mr. Chinen assembled the classes for a short 60km hike to a "nearby" football oval. Upon reaching the gravelled area, many decided a game offootball futile and instead explored the surrounding bushland. Arriving back at the camp in time for afternoon tea and then showers, we retired to the common room where Mr. Moran continued his . .. unbelievable luck in cards! After a satisfying dinner, we were amazed to find the rain had stopped and an excellent game of spotlight was organised. When the sun rose that morning, it found 72 less than enthusiastic joggers running the road. But when we arrived back at camp we found a hearty breakfast waiting it was well worth it. That day most students visited a nearby dairyfarm that day. With the smart ones staying warm and dry in the common room in Mr. Moran's casino. ' After lunch with the help of Mrs. Letizia all the boys drew posters for the nights Mass. When Father arrived and had finished setting up, we quickly assembled for Mass in the common room. At the end of the Mass everybody enjoyed a hot meal and a game of spotlight. Everyone fell asleep the minute their heads touched the pillow, after such a wearying day. Mr. Moran and Mr. Chinen graciously let us sleep in, till about 5.00 a.m. , when they woke us all and we began to gather our belongings. After many thrown sleeping bags , we finally loaded all the gear onto the truck and piled into the bus. Our thanks to Mr. Moran , Mr. Chinen, Mrs. Faria, Mrs. Letizia, Father Uren, and a special thanks to the mothers who helped with the rations. Shaun Temby and David McRae
YEAR9A CAMP 9A left for Fairbridge village at about 9.30 a.m . on Monday morning, and after a two hour journey we arrived there at about 11.30 a.m . We saw the village as soon as we got there and it could be described as an olden day style town. There were many cottages each one having around six bedrooms. Around the camp there were many things to do , swimming, tennis and even a recreation hall. We had all our meals in the hall and the food usually very tasty. There were many different outings that we went on, starting on Tuesday. Tuesday morning we went to a piggery, there we saw many pigs of all sizes and of all smells. In the afternoon we went to a dairy farm, it was a very interesting experience and we all learned a great deal, one point that I found interesting was that the cows were milked to music. On Wednesday morning we had a mass in the local church, apart from us there was Saint Joseph's Primary School and some local people, from the town. This mass was very enjoyable as everyone participated. After the mass we had an organised sports day with Pinjarra High School, you could choose from playing volleyball , basketball or hockey, it was very enjoyable even though it rained . Late Wednesday afternoon we went to an angora goat farm. There we saw goats being shown and a very smart dog which acted on voice command. The owners also had a shop with many gifts made from goats hide and other animal skin. Wednesday night one of our huts were invaded by three Year 11 Aquinas students who had arrived that night. Thursday was very enjoyable and we did many different activities. In the morning we took part in a very difficult orienteering course, which was made up by the teachers. The course was situated on and around our chalets. After lunch we went rollerskating in Mandurah and swimming at the aquatic centre. Everyone enjoyed the swimming as the pool was heated and the weather was fairly cold. Thursday night was our most enjoyable, for tea we had a barbecue on the Mandurah foreshore , three barbecues were going and there was plenty of food for everyone. After tea some of us went fishing off the bridge, but no one was successful. It was a cold drive home back to Pinjarra and we got to sleep at about 10.30 p.m.
9R visiting Manjimup Timber Mill.
Friday was our last day at the camp and we left very early so we could spend some time in Mandurah . In Mandurah we went to the shopping centre for about an hour and then went to the estuary to have lunch. While we were having lunch Mr. Wright and Mr. Barnes were playing on the swings. At about 12.00 p.m. we left Mandurah and arrived back at the school at 1.30 p.m. Special thanks must go to Mr. Martin for organising it, Mr. Wright and Mr. Barnes for coming along and Mr. McVeigh for driving the bus for us.
It's "hands on" for a day's canoeing on the Tone River.
9R CLASS CAMP The camp at Tone River was a lot of fun since we were going to a place which most had never been before. The aim of the camp was to have fun and grow in friendship and we think we succeeded in that point since many boys were still talking about the camp for several weeks after. The trip started off well except for a slight delay (4 hours) when the bus which we had hired decided to engage reverse gear at the same time as first at the traffic lights where High Street crosses Hampton Road. After a replacement bus arrived we were able to make Tone River without further delay. At Tone River the days were cold and the nights were colder so we had to keep 'rugged up' and have big fires going in our cottages. During our stay we visited the Manjimup Timber Mill, the Diamond Hill Chip and Pulp Mill and the Manjimup Museum. Our spare time activities included swimming, canoeing, bush walking, tennis, basketball, ping-pong, wood-chopping competitions and a few other things. At night we watched videos or played in the games room. On the Thursday morning we visited the Manjimup Parish Church for Mass which we ali enjoyed . We would like to thank Mrs. Cattalini, Mrs. Cordina and Mr. Smith who came with us to the camp, for without them we would not have been able to go. Our special thanks goes to Mr. Revell for helping us to organise the whole camp. Jeremy

After struggling at the end of the field for many years in the A Division of the A.e.e. e.B.e. finally made their presence felt this year by coming a close fourth in the Boys' Aggregate and overall third when combined with Santa Maria's (our sister school) total. Our Junio'r Boys performed particularly well. Last year Robeit Vinci became the first e.B.e. boy to win an A Division event. This year Robert repeated his performance of a first in the U / 14 Butterfly and added first places in Freestyle and Backstroke. Phillip Harrison a newcomer to the school won the A Division U / 14 Backstroke in record time. Paul Riley won his A Division U / 13 Backstroke. In the Junior
Shield we came second to champions Newman by a mere three points - 160 to 163. This was easily our best swimming season ever. Much credit can be attributed to the leadership of the senior trio Robert Neesham, John Toomey and Glen Dunkerton. Already the team is planning ways of improving its performance for 1987. The most important aspect of the season was not so much our good performance but the wonderful team spirit which developed during the four weeks of daily training. Br P.B. Kelly
ATHLETICS 1986 A.C.C. ATHLETICS At 8.00 a.m . on Tuesday the 21st October, sixty students along with Staff and some spectators, left Ellen Street to compete in the Associated Catholic Colleges annual Athletic Carnival. After a quick trip around the block to pick up the programs which were accidently left behind , we arrived at Perry Lakes Stadium in time for a quick warm-up before the start of the first events. The day was warm with a strong headwind, which made the conditions far from ideal. The first track events saw us off to a flying start as we scored a hat-trick of wins in the Hurdles events. (Gareth Van Didden, Stewart Home, Randal Humich). As the day progressed a number of good performances in the field events kept our points tally ticking over. The best of these being D . Grier (2nd U / 14 High Jump), N. Flanders (2nd U / 15 High Jump), N. Caputi (3rd U/ 15 Discus), P . Ryan (2nd Open Long Jump), G. De Castro (3rd U/l 6 Long Jump), C. Lane (3rd U /1 5 Long Jump). As well as these there were a number of good performances in the track events. C. Everall (2nd Open 100m, 2nd Open Hurdles), D . Parnell (2nd U / 16 200m), M. Ayres (3rd Open 100m). The highlight of these would have to have been the last event of the day, the Open Relay, where Craig Everall, Marcus Ayres, Doug Harvey and Pat Ryan combined to finish an exciting second . During the course of the day a number of good performances came from students who may not have
won their events, yet they produced personal best efforts - the aim of all competition. Some of these which stood out on the day were, Wade Jarvis (1500m), Andrew Neale (l500m), Sam Russell (400m), Josh Incerpi (400m), Pat Ryan (800m). A special mention must be made of the efforts of Randal Humich who competed in the maximum of five events, won four of these and broke existing records in three of these events. (U / 16 Shot Put, U / 16 Discus, U / 16 Hurdles.) The final part of the day consisted of the march part by the athletes al)d the announcement and presentations to the carnival winners. We finished fourth in the overall combined total with Santa Maria, an improvement on last years 6th position. A respectable result considering our limited preparation in comparison to recent years. Overall an enjoyable and rewarding day was had by all, indicated by the high spirited bus trip home. Congratulations to all competitors as they all performed creditably. Thanks to all teachers who acted as coaches prior to the day, during and after school hours. This years effort gives us great hope for further improvement next year and I'm sure with a greater training effort that this will occur. Peter Wright

HOCKEY
YEAR 9 HOCKEY Back Row: D. Smith, B. Kennington , G. Harris, B. Kerrigan, N. Fitzgerald. Front Row: T. Clark, J. Feeny, R. Ringuall, A. Maher, M. Ivandich, G. Norton , B. Ryan .
YEAR 9 HOCKEY This group of boys have really enjoyed their hockey and displayed real team spirit. Fitting 13 players into a team without losing team balance is always a problem for the coach, and my thanks to the boys for the manner they have accepted in giving everyone "a go". The team was formed from the amalgamation oftwo 1985 Year 8 teams. Consequently it has taken a long time to discover the best position for each boy. I believe ,we now have a well balanced and flexible team. I have enjoyed coaching the boys and really enjoyed their games, where they had some easy ones and some hard ones.
Always they displayed excellent sportsmanship and have been worthy ambassadors for c.B.e. On behalf of the team our thanks to Mr. Kerrigan, our manager, and Mrs. Kerrigan, his worthy assistant, who filled in on several occasions when Mr. K was filling in for other e.B.e. teams. Mr. Kerrigan does a great amount of behind the scenes work and on behalf of all C.B.e. boys I extend our thanks. Every season has its climax and for us, undoubtedly, it was the last game; the Grand Final. The team gave 100% and won the school's first ever premiership for our efforts. Jim Harrington Coach
YEAR 10 HOCKEY YEAR 10 HOCKEY Back Row: S. Maher, W. Jarvis, D. Golding, R. Lawlor, M. Watton. Front Row: D. Rose'Meyer, T. Belstead , C. Lane, W. De Witt, C. Gill , W . Barton, L. Morgan. Coach: Mr. R. Rose'Meyer.
With one more game to play this season, we've had six wins and six defeats - five of these being to the top two teams Willetton and Rossmoyne. Not too bad an effort, I must say. At the moment we are in third position in the South Zone and it depends on goal averages as to whether we get into the finals. Obviously our last game against Corpus Christi will be vital. The boys have thoroughly enjoyed their training sessions, their matches and their comradeship. One of their problems is that they run hot and cold i.e., they don't appear to be able to play consistently for 60 minutes. Invariably, during some stage of the game they seem to
take a nap . If we're lucky they might surprise us in the finals. I'd like to express my sincere thanks to our manageress, Mrs. Watton, for the tremendous service she has rendered during the season. Thanks, too, to regular support from mums and dads and also Fr. Damian. Mention must be made of Adrian and Gavin Maher and also Bruce McDonald who helped us out of a predicament when our numbers were depleted through injuries. Thank you one and all. Bob Rose'Meyer Coach
YEAR 11/12 HOCKEY
YEAR 11/12 HOCKEY Back Row: M. Stone, A. Hines, B. Kay, G. Panizza, P. McGloskey, J. Hubble, W. Marshall . Front Row: P. Newman, D. Grose, A. Parker, Br. P. Kelly, B. Hicks, L. Maher, E. Neesham.
Once again I can say the season has been both enjoyable and successful. Although it is nice to say that we finished on top of the ladder it gives me more satisfaction to refer to other factors . The fact that in all our games not one boy has ever been spoken to by the umpires, says volumes for the sportsmanship shown by our team. It has been a delight to participate in the competition because the sportsmanship displayed by other teams has been equally as high. Although the competition has been extremely close, the game has appeared more important than the score. I hope that the individuals are better
hockey players now than at the beginning of the season. I feel convinced that they are better persons for their season's experience in a team sport. I have enjoyed the season immensely. The great support each team member has shown has made both practice and matches enjoyable events. I sincerely thank on behalf of the team our loyal parent support each Saturday. In particular I would like to thank the Kay family for drinks and laundered shirts. Br. Pat Kelly Coach

YEAR 10 A.C.C. Back Row: Justin Miller, Paul Swan, Paul Mancini, Bruce McDonald, Simon Bazdavic, Dom Scafetta, Michael Brimblecomble, Darryl Ball . Front Row: Dani Parnell, David Vitali , Mr. G. Moran, Greg Hilton, Paul Farrell.
A successful season not only in terms of wins but also a good spirit amongst the players. Our bowling was led by Darryl Ball, David Vitali , Simon Bazdaric and Mark Farrell and without being devastating they normally bowled good line and length. Some magnificent fielding from Paul Suan, Dani Parnell, Greg Hilton , Bruce McDonald and Justin Miller complemented the bowlers efforts.
Dom Scafetta, Paul Mancini, David Vitali and Michael Brimblecombe provided the batting highlights this season with some impressive scores. Good wins were achieved against Mazenod , La Salle, John XXIII and Aranmore. Congratulations to the boys on their efforts and keenness. . G. Moran ¡1
TRI-ATHLON Among new events during 1986 was the Tri-athlon. The aim was to raise money to purchase new sports equipment. The organisers of this very successful event was the S.R.C. It was held on Tuesday the 11th of March, during what would be the sports afternoon. There were two categories in the race, being a team of three or individual. The course was tiring (believe me) due to many steep ascents. The event took place at Point Walter. It consisted of a 3 km run followed by a 500m swim then another 3 km run to finish . The winner of the individual event was Robert Neesham and the champion team "The Team to Be" included Andrew Ross, Paul Neesham and Matthew Dalziel.
UNDER 14 RED FOOTBALL REPORT Expectations were not high before the season started, but due to some excellent efforts from the boys, aided by a strong team spirit they advanced to the finals. The Grand Final against Cockburn played o'n Fremantle Oval provided a close, exciting finish, with Cock burn coming home the better in a hectic last quarter.
Robert Neesham was placed 3rd after the 3 km run while Matthew Dalziel came in 5th place. As Robert Neesham had to take his clothes off to swim he entered the water about tenth. Paul Neesham (second leg for "The Team To Be") swam a fanfastic 500m coming home first. Rob Neesham came out of the water second while Andrew Ross (third leg for "The Team To Be") had opened a 300m lead. Terrific determination (which is characteristic of C.B.C. Fremantle) by Robert Neesham was evident when passing Andrew Ross with less than 100m before the finish . Overall, it was good to see everyone taking part. Over 150 students participated and everyone received a can of coca-cola. A. Ross

The game of soccer has a wide ranging appeal to a variety of people who get immense pleasure from being both spectators and players. This was certainly true of the year ten soccer team who warmed to their task of playing soccer as the season progressed. After a shaky start the boys steadily showed improvement in skills, teamwork and concentration. This led to an impressive win over ????? on the occasion of our second meeting and enabled them to qualify for the grand final. This is a creditable effort and one that the boys can be proud of. The grand final was an intense affair with e.B.e. holding firm for the first twenty minutes, but a two minute lapse of concentration saw e.B.e. swap ends at half time with a two-goal deficit. The second half saw C.B.e. pile on the pressure and St. Brendan's defending grimly. At the ten minute mark Simon Bazdaric cracked a long range shot into the corner of the net but unfortunately this was the only satisfaction ffom the afternoon. To the boys credit they played the game fairly and were gracious losers. I'd like to thank the boys for the co-operation they showed me through the season and congratulate them for their sportsmanship and Well done boys. e. Garratt
SENIOR A.C.C. SOCCER We began the season with what could be considered a powerful side, which had in it, skill, toughness and intelligence. We also entered a sige into the Federation Cup which won through to the quarter finals . The side was well lead by Captain Danny Collova who lead by example. Up to half way through the season we were undefeated which included a draw against St. Brendan's I-I with our side having almost 4 good chances to win the match. Towards the end of the season we lost several good players which lead to our downfall towards the latter part of the competition. Due to this loss we couldn't fulfil the best of our potential. We finished the season in a fighting spirit which demonstrated the motivation amongst the players in the side. We also thank Mr. Forlin for being our Coach and Advisor. J . lncerpi

YEAR 9 AND 10 RUGBY The game of rugby continues to grow in strength and popularity at C.B.e. and for the first time two teams represented the school at schoolboy level. Once again a number of boys made the transition from others sports to rugby and went and played for the Palmyra Under I5s team. They then became the nucleus of our Caltex Cup team which joined this interschool competition for the first time. They were coached by Mr. Gavin Dodge, the Palmyra Under 15s coach and our thanks go to him for all his time and effort. The boys played well enough to qualify for the semifinals but unfortunately played a more experienced
Wesley College team that bt;at them 28-0. Wesley eventually won the competition. Congratulations to all the boys who played rugby this year and thanks to those who participated in the lapathon¡ to raise money for the purchase of rugby jumpers. The boys raised over $670.00 to go towards the purchase of two sets of school rugby jumpers, so next year they will be properly outfitted . Well done boys. Also a special thanks to Mr. Ian Allen who has offered to pay the balance for the jumpers. It's nice to see such support coming from old boys of the school. Thanks Ian! C. Garratt

The number of students rowing at e.B.e. this year has grown immensely. During the first 8 weeeks of Term I, e.B.e. was fortunate in being invited to take part in the Private Schools' Regatta series rowed on the Canning River. The great successes were with the Year 9 VIII. After barely two weeks preparation, C. B. C. won the first race of the season over 500m against Christchurch and Aquinas in 1min 48.3 sec. and then went on to win in the next two regattas raced over lOOOm.
Our senior crews did not fare so well due to inexperience, especially in regatta racing, when compared to members of the opposing crews who had raced for three or four seasons, however, the Third IV training 3 nights per week were rewarded with a second place at the Trinity Regatta and a third place at the Aquinas Regatta. In Year 8 four VIII's and a IV have been coached during the year and this has laid a firm foundation for competition in 1987. A special event this year was an End-of-year Regatta for Years 8 and 9 rowed over a 500m course at Bicton. Events included a Year 9 inter-class VIII competition, championship IV and combination VIlIs. A great deal of time and dedication is needed to prepare a crew for a race since success at rowing is not just a matter of being able to row the hardest on the river. Without the help of the Fremantle Rowing Club very little could have been achieved. The Club was responsible for the transportation and maintenance of the boats used in the races and in assisting with the coaching of crews. On behalf of the rowers, we would sincerely like to thank Mr. Revell (Rowing Master), Mr. Van Dongen, Mr. Owens and Mr. Martin for their dedication and persistence in the organisation and training of our crews for 1986.

The distance running season began early with small numbers of student and staff competing in the Round the Bridges lOkm, the Africa Aid lOkm at Perry Lakes and the City to Surf 12km, Mark Jenkins 55 minute run in this event was commendable. The State Cross Country and Road Walking Championships were held in June. On the Saturday twenty boys took part in the individual 400m event, all boys running well in hard fast races in fields of up to 70 runners. The School's Relay Championship was held on the Sunday with the College being represented by one Under 13 team that came third and two under 15 teams, third and eighth. Our most successful competition on the weekend was Andrew Neale at the Road Walking Championships 2nd in the under 16 6km and 1st in the under 19 lOkm. Andrew went on to compete in the Australian Road
CANOEING Canoeing was offered as a sport option on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the year. During the warmer months of the first term some boys came down on a Saturday morning for canoe-surfing at the Dutch Inn, Cottesloe. The highlight of the second term was the Schools Canoeing Regatta organised by the Amateur Canoe Association. This took the form of a three-day camp starting at Ascot Kayak Club where the activities
Walking Championships with creditable results. His team won the silver medal in the under 17 6km event. The A.C.C. Cross Country event was held at Clontarf again this year with forty two athletes from the college competing in the hard and fast 3000m events. The under 14 event contained 220 starters; we were represented by sixteen athletes with the best performance being run by Sean Gibson 27th. In the under 15 division we were represented by more than 160. c.B.C.'s best performance on the day was run by Wade Jarvis in the under sixteen division with 9th place in a field of 126. In the open we were represented by four competitors, Paul Neesham was our best runner. Thanks must go again to Br. Piggott ofSt. Mark's for a superbly organised cross country event. S. Stack
included Canoe Polo, Slalom and Sprint. From the flat water at Ascot we moved on to the white water at Walyunga where the activities were Slalom, Sprint and Touring. Fourteen boys from Years 8 to 12 took part in a very enjoyable and rewarding weekend. With the good rains and the high water on the Avon in the Third Term many trips were made to the wild water at Walyunga. Matthew Dalziel again represented Western Australia at the Australian Wildwater Championships in Victoria withan 8th in the 18 KI and 2nd in Junior Kl teams event. G.S. Stack
JUNIOR CAMPUS REPORT 1986 1986 opened with 240 pupils on campus, covering Year 5 through to Year 8. This comprised 102 boys in the three primary grades, and 138 at the Year 8 level. The school was fortunate to have a high level of stability in staffing; M r. Darryl Winsor (Year 7, 1985) to St. Domenics, Innaloo, and Mr. Geoff Revell (Year 8, 1985) to the Senior Campus at Ellen Street, were the only losses from the full time staff. Their replacements, Miss Pauline Figueiredo (Year 6) and Mr. Simon Barber(Year 8), quickly adapted to the school, and have both made valuable personal contributions. As a complete unit, the Junior School Staff have continued to maintain the expected standards of CB.C at a high level. Academic programmes were maintained at challenging levels, to ensure that students were provided with every opportunity to achieve to satisfactory expectations, and results obtained in external State and National Competitions certainly indicated that these programmes were more than equivalent to other schools in the State. Assessment procedures, recording of student results, and thus the ease and efficiency of communicating student progress, have all been facilitated in 1986, by the introduction of a computer based filing system, the procedures for this being the result of considerable time and effort by Br. Harnett. While the religion programme has been kept very much as the priority of the school curricula, we still face the ever increasing problem of obtaining the services of priests to celebrate mass for students. The load on parish priests increases with the ever increasing popUlation, parish size and consequent commitments on our priests. For this reason there is an increasing tendency towards teacher / student planned paraliturgies or prayer meetings for classes to guarantee student involvement in religious ceremomes. Mr. Van Dongen, as co-ordinator of the sporting programme for the campus, has ensured that both intra and interschool sport are well planned and organised, with varied optional activities for Year 8 students, and excellent swimming and athletic carnivals. Primary students continued their strong involvement with the Junior Schools' Heads' Association of W.A. The school has been fortunate over the last few years, to have the services of an E.S.L. specialist teacher; this has been particularly relevant during the year with special assistance necessary for newly arrived, non English speaking students from Italy and Czechoslovakia. Both Italian students, after a full year in our system, have assimilated well, and are making most pleasing progress. Similarly, our two "very new" students from Czechoslovakia are already adapting to the school, and their command of the English language improving almost daily. Mrs. Lovelock and Mrs. Sutherland, in . their respective periods as E.S.L. teacher this year, have certainly guided these young men most satisfactorily through their difficult period of integration into a new cultural school setting. Camp programmes were again provided for all classes, with the view to providing worthwhile educational and social experiences. As has developed over the past few years, venues have been varied, with Year 5 at Manjedal, Year 6 at York, Year 7 at Rottnest, Year 8s at Sorrento, Yallingup, Margaret River and Hamelin Bay. The success of the camps again was due largely to the strong participation by parents at all camps.
Parents overall continued to be heavily involved in many activities within the school, in addition to the afore mentioned camps. Reading programmes, excursions, special events, canteen assistance, sport coaching and involvement, busy bees, varied other associated activities, and attendance at masses, meetings and functions; our strong parental involvement again guaranteed the success and smoother operation of all the above. A new complexion to the school was added in the later stages of the year when the Year 7 class from Our Lady of Fatima School in Palmyra occupied one of the classrooms while a rebuilding programme proceeded at their school. The presence of the young ladies seemed to "soften" the playground activities.
A FAREWELL THANK YOU I write here with mixed emotions - pleasure at the challenge of a new promotional position for 1987, but also considerable sadness at departing from a "special community". In my five years at CB.C rewards have come in the form of experience gained, of challenges met, of new initiatives; most of all, however, have been the rewards of knowing and working with the many friends I have made among the students, the parents and the staff. I know that in the years to come I may often miss the company and fellowship, the adv(ce and assistance, and the caring and sharing that is part of CB.C, but many of the friendships will stand the test of time, and my heart will always treasure a special place for this school and its community. To the very many people who have been part of my five years here, may I offer my sincere thanks for your support and friendshp; to the numerous boys who have been at some stage during these years, part of my "family", I suggest that you too will look back from the future to your days at CB.C, and that you too will remember with fondness how very special is CB.C Fremantle. Thank you, God bless you all, and goodbye. DOUG McKIRDY

PIETRO G. PORCELLI SCULPTO R 1872-1943 During the time I was restoring the mural of "The Last Supper" and having noticed almost obliterated letters or initials as an obvious signature on a corner of the mural, I was intensely interested to know 'who' the Sculptor of such a potentially beautiful work was? I searched Libraries, enquired at University and Perth Museum levels to no avail. I had more or less given up hope of establishing the Sculptor'S identity when my daughter and son-in-law who are members of the Fremantle Historical Society, learned almost by accident all about the Sculptor who had been responsible for the well known Statues in and around Fremantle. Gradually, the query I so longed to solve was made clear. This same Sculptor, Pietro G. Porcelli, 1872-1943 had sculptured the Mural of "The Last Supper". A precis of the Sculptor'S life has been written by the Rev. Br. S.B. Keen C.F.C., B.A.. He felt very intensely that the Sculptor did not receive the recognition, acclaim or support that he should have received , I quote from the reference by Rev. Br. Keen as follows: Pietro G. Porcelli was Western Australia's first local Sculptor. He created bronze and stone memorials of several of our outstanding citizens and many War Memorials to Soldiers of the First World War, but practically nothing has been written about his work save a passing reference in papers of the day, noting the
unveiling of one of his works; and a couple of lines in books on Australian Art. Of the man himself, only a faint memory survives in the minds of elderly citizens. This paper is an attempt to vindicate the memory of an artist who made a significant contribution to the cultural history of this State. End of Quote. Pietro was a boy of eight years when his father brought him to Sydney, Australia. It is uncertain as to whether he was born in Italy or Australia. As a young man he went to Naples to further his studies, where he accomplished some works of renown. He then returned to Western Australia where many fine works of his art are to be seen. The Memorials to well known people of the day are almost too numerous to mention each by name here. The extremely sad part to me is that he ended his days in obscurity and abject poverty. As a Sculptress and Restorer of his work I personally revere his works and his memory. Kathleen E. Hyde, 1986

C.B.C. No.2
C.B.C. No.1 A team's performance for the season is often based on its position on the premiership table . If this is the sole criterion that one was to judge the Year Sevens' season by, then it would have to be said that they have been successful. In the five team competition, they have shown themselves to be superior to all but one of the teams, and will play in the finals . Of note is that in two of their draws , the team played short - maybe a full complement would have seen two more victories. However, there is more to a season than on-field success. Players will hopefully learn the value of such things as sportsmanship, punctuality, self-discipline and pride in representing their school. I am happy to say that our players have showed all these qualities dur~ng ~he season. Each player has endeavoured to improve hIs skIlls and the way he contributed to the team. Training sessions have , for the most part, been well attended and drill done enthusiastically. Games during the season have been played in a consistently high spirit. .. ' Now comes a real challenge boys - plaYIng In the finals. Don't ask for good luck: go out and make your own. To our manager, Mr. Hudson, our assistant, Br. Harnett, and all our hardy supporters, my sincere thanks . Of course, a big thank you to all the players, because THEY are the TEAM . Simon Barber Coach
This team has enjoyed an excellent season in 1986, looking likely to finish well up the table. The boys are showing the benefit of last year's season in Primary Modified grade. They are displaying good team skills and working together quite well indeed, looking for each other on the field and generally playing their positions well. All players display good sound ability and should certainly prove to be tough competition in the 1987 season. Special thanks must go to our manageress, Pip Gavranich, for all her hard work and the dedicated parents who attended our games. Thanks go also to Mi~e Leahy, our assistant coach this year, for all hIS encouragement of the boys both on the field and at training . We are also in debt to our umpires Paul Winthrop and Peter Handcock. Gary Holtham Coach
C.B.C. No.3 Starting the season with only one boy who knew how to play hockey, I thought I was in for a hard time. Thanks to some hard work from the boys my work was made a lot easier and more enjoyable. The teams' thanks also go to the parents who turned up each week to watch and encourage them. The fact that many games were played undermanned, and the team came so close to winning most of them, is a credit to the boys' determination and enthusiasm. Well done team - Keep practising and I will see you next season. Peter Handcock Coach

YEAR 8 AT WORK AUSTRALIAN SCHOOLS' SCIENCE COMPETITION Each year the University of New South Wales runs an Australia-wide science competition for Secondary schools. The aims of the competition are , to encourage the study of scienc enad to provide public recognition to those students who have shown a high level of competence in science. Usually the top students are asked to enter the competition. This year however the Year 8 teachers decided to enter all Year 8 students. We felt that doing the exam would
ART - JUNIOR CAMPUS This year art has been introduced to year 8 and the programme has been run on the Tuckfield campus. Primary classes have benefited by viewing the year 8 work and by using some of the brand new equipment. Year 5's work included paper birds, bird kites, paper and wool weaving and musician sculptures. Year 6 made puppets and all joined together to make a mural based on Fremantle. Halley's Comet provided inspiration for both years 6 and 7. Year 7 experimented with drawing and printmaking and worked very hard to produce masks inspired by Egyptian and. African art. All classes acknowledged Aboriginal Week by participating in various activities which included drawing, painting, making Aboriginal artefacts and printing "x-ray" designs on fabric. Their hard work was rewarded by inclusion in the J.S.H.A.A. Art/ Craft Exhibition which was a great success. Year 8 spent the year learning about colour, drawing, painting, lino-printing, screenprinting cushions and barbeque aprons and making papier mache skateboards or surfboards. This year, for the first time, C.B.C. was involved in the Secondary Art Awards held by W.A.C.A.E. at the Art Gallery. Peter Threlfall, Michael Perna and Nathan Windebank (commended) had the privilege of having their work exhibited. Sheila Posner
give the boys experience in doing an external exam and make them a ware of their progress in their science studies. Our results were very good, indicating a high overall level. Of special mention are the boys who achieved levels within the top ten percent of students in the State: Top 2%: Marc Schaper and David Taylor Top 4%: Jason Hart Top 6%: David Alexander and Christopher Scharf Top 8%: Michael Atkinson, Jason Ryan and Dale Shardlow
SOCIAL STUDIES PEACE AWARDS 1986 is International Year of Peace and as such has been studied under the heading and Religious Education. Year 8 students have been actively involved in activities such as letter writing and mobile making. Awards for a Peace Poster competition were presented for originality of thought, aesthetic value and their ability to provide a thought provoking statement. All the posters were very good and of a high standard which indicates the boys concern for individual, family and world peace. A wards were presented to class winners: Mark Lomma - 8A Greg McDonnell - 8E Scott McDonnell - 8B Damian Ziegelaar - 8H The year award was presented to Gennaro Auriemma and Todd Jarvis received the award as runner-up .
SPEECH & DRAMA 1986 Speech and Drama (with the accent on speech this year) was re-introduced into the school via all Year Eight classes. Each Year Eight boy attended one period of speech per week for one semester only. The aim of the course was to develop suitable communication skills so that each boy would be able to attempt, successfully an English Speaking Board (E.S.B.) Assessment at the end of the semester. The E.S.B. Assessment is unlike most Speech Exams in that an audience (anyone who is interested) is present, playing an active part through listening and asking questions. Also the focus is communicating rather than speech style. Each boy presents a programme consisting of a three minute talk (anything he appreciates!) a poem or tall story spoken (from memory) with true interpretation and conviction a prose reading from any fiction or non-fiction source. Naturally some boys are more talented in this area yet the results were surprising, with some otherwise quiet, conservative boys doing particularly well. Success in this activity would appear to stem from sincere preparation and a real desire to share with the audience. It was a well worthwhile project this year.
AUSTRALIAN MATHEMATICS COMPETITION On the 6th of August this year, seventy six Year 8 students took part in the annual Australian Mathematics Competition sponsored by the West pac Bank . Of these candidates twenty eight were awarded Westpac awards. The exam that the boys did was different from the usual school tests. With this exam, marks were deducted for all incorrect answers, the aim being to penalise guessing. Thus it was possible for a student to get a lower score than another even though he got more answers correct. The Year 8 Mathematics teachers are very pleased with the results of the test. Overall it shows that one fifth of our students are performing at a very high level of achievement. Of special ~ention are those boys who were awarded Distinctions, that is those who were placed in the top fifteen percent of the State: Top 5%: Sean McGunnigle and Andrew Schaper Top 10%: Christopher Golding, Matthew O'Brien and David Taylor Top 15%: David Alexander and Dale Shard low The following were awarded credits: Genaro Auriemma, Martin Cattalini, Sasha Danilovich, Luciano DeSousa, Richard Doherty, Brynne Farrell, Michael Fitzgerald , Glen Harding, Jason Hart, Jeffrey Horne, Michael Hubble, Domenic Iacono, Todd Jarvis, Kieran Kearns, Heath Kennington, Craig Kerns, Ghedino Lomma, Brian Mather, Jason Ryan , Christopher Scharf and Damian Ziegelaar.
YEAR 8 CAMPS 8B's CAMP After organizing the class into groups and arranging the necessary accommodation (tents) and gear, we departed (after stowing everything in the bus) at 9. 15 a.m. on Monday, 3rd November. We were on our way to Wallcliffe Caravan Park, near Margaret River. We stopped at Busselton for lunch and most of us went for a walk out on the Busselton Jetty. Just after setting up the camp at WaIIcliffe Park, it rained . Most tents stayed up for the duration of the camp except for a few night time pranks - "Poor Shane!" We went surfing every day and the surf was very good, we were getting 3 foot white wash. We surfed at Redgate Beach and the mouth of Margaret River. On Tuesday we went to Lake Caves where we saw stalagmites and stalactites, we also saw a 1,000 year ?ld karri. It was a bit big to climb! Some of us went canoeIng and some of us stayed at the camp mucking around on the trampolines. On Wednesday we went to the Leeuwin Estate Winery, it wasn't as good as I thought it would be although it was alright. After the tour Mr Barber and the parents had a taste of wine. Some of us managed a sip too. We also went to a marron farm. Did you know that adult marron eat each other! After the marron farm we went to Cape Leeuwin and climbed the lighthouse - that was great.
On Thursday we went to Augusta for a mass with Mr Hendons' and Mr Alexanders' classes at a new church. We all thought the atmosphere there was great. After mass we signed the visitors book and had morning tea in the hall. The rest of the day was spent at Hamelin Bay. Thursday night! Oh boy was that a laugh. We were scheduled to have a flour bomb fight with Mr Hendons class. We got to their camp late so they had a flour bomb fight Minus 8B. Instead of having the above we had a Lantern Stalk in the sand dunes. It was fun except for the last bit - thanks Mr Hendon! After all the fun, we all bombed out for a good nights sleep before coming home on Friday. All our thanks go to Mr Golding, Mrs Spina and Mrs Caputi for their help in making the camp enjoyable.
YEAR 8H CAMP - HILLARYS Th~
Pre-camp organisation for the Hillarys sojourn certaInly made for a smooth exit from the Tuckfield campus. Mrs O'Brien made sure that all our food and essential ~upplies .had been purchased and present for transportIng. (Unhke 8B we decided to take our food with us). The jolly green bus was in great physical condition and throughout the camp could be relied upon to transport us. (Mr Alexander wishes he could say the same about his bus!) The Ern Halliday Tent camping area was soon a hive of activity as we erected our tents. We were soon to learn that there is an art in erecting a tent - rain clouds were gathering but we could not stay since we were soon to go on a visit to Paul Conti's vineyard. We would have loved to have tried Conti's product however Br Harnett had other ideas. This didn't seem to apply to Mrs O'Brien and Mrs Sutherland who were seen smuggling a couple of bottles (they said it was Holy Water) aboard the bus. Meanwhile back at camp our well set up tents were taking in water. Urgent repairs were made. We learnt the hard way how to erect waterproof tents. There was a suggestion made before the camp that we should plan to have a fish tea. We could cook the fish that we caught. However this did not appear on the menu. If it had we would have gone hungry that night. Try as we may no fish were interested in our bait. The other fishermen around us had no trouble in catching fish. ~uesday was a busy day. Fishing, exploring Trigg reef, tryIng to catch the waves at Trigg beach and of course the Melbourne Cup. We took our own TV so as to watch the a~tion live and later a visit to the Yanchep caves. Mrs Zlegelaar and Damian joined us after our cave visit and Mrs Sutherland left us to go back to school. O~ Wednesday we spent most of the day at Atlantis Manne Park. Several boys watched the dolphin show twice but the major attraction seemed not to be the dolphins! Since the water slides were out of action the paddle boats were available for our use. Several captains went down with their ship! Thursday was a restful day after all the excitement of the preceding days. The fishermen tried again, without success. Br Harnett encouraged us to play in the sand dunes. He thought we might burn off excess energy. He was right. That night very few of us managed to survive the Lantern Stalk without getting caught. We were amazed to find that there was no Milo left. We had taken 5 kg of it to camp. It seemed that some boys reversed the mixing order - a cup of Milo and a few spoons of milk. Overall the Hillarys camp was a success. The aim of living and working together was realised. We had to cook our own meals and be responsible to our groups. We learnt a lot about each other and had a lot of good experiences. Thanks to Mrs O'Brien, Mrs Ziegelaar, Mrs Sutherland and Br Harnett for helping us to have an enjoyable experience.
THE A-TEAM The Year 8A camp to Hamelin Bay this year was filled with many things to do. The first day was spent travelling. Arriving at 2.00 p.m. we set up camp and explored the bay. Day 2: and we found ourselves visiting the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, built in 1895 and it stands 40m high and until two years ago was run by mechanical timers running the lenses at night. After the lighthouse some boys went skin diving in a little cove near the lighthouse. We then went to Augusta bakery and bought many different varieties of cakes, we had lunch, and went our sep~rate ways. Some went surfing, windsurfing, or fishmg. . On the third day we went to the Jewel Caves and the Leeuwin Estate Winery (the parents found the winery VER Y interesting). In the afternoon we went to Cosy Corner and did a ten km hike back to camp. At night we played Lantern Stalk with Michael Healy, Paul Wellings and Co., falling down deceptive sand dunes and all of whom returned back to camp tired and bruised after a long and hard day. Thursday was the fourth day and we went to Mass in Augusta with 8E and 8B. We exchanged stories of our camps with a hint of exaggeration. Our class then went to a beach near Augusta where some of us went surfing diving or just lazing in the sun. then we made our wa~ back to camp, had lunch, and did what we wanted to do. A few went surfing at the beach, which we found whilst on our hike from Cosy Corner. Others went windsurfing and a few went fishing in Mr Zaccaria's runabout dinghy. Mr Zaccaria and Mr Riccardi took us on an excursion along the beach in their four wheel drive vehicles. That night we all slept well. On Friday the camp was woke up by Mr Alexander's son, Brad. He had a very loud whistle and ran about the camp waking everyone up. We caught him and poured cold water over his head to show our disapproval at being woken so abruptly. We then started to pack and left Hamelin Bay at 9.30 a .m., arriving at school at 2.30 p.m. (the bus wasn't a Greyhound express), we took our things from Mr Smart's truck and went home sharing our stories of our camp with our parents. Some of the more outlandish stories were Paul Welling puttin~ only one little hole in his can of spaghetti before he put It on the open fire. It is now in orbit around Jupiter. Paul's heart-rate is now nearly back to normal. Gary Abelha did a metallurgy experiment with his bread and Mr Alexander's aluminium jaffle iron. Yes aluminium does melt if left in the fire long enough. We had great parents on camp, Mrs Ortuzar, Mr Geers, Mr Riccardi, Mr Zaccaria, Mr Smart and Mr Wellings. Their assistance and company went a long way to ensuring the enjoyment of the camp. The camp was both educational and certainly a most enjoyable experience. P.S. We slept well on the weekend!!!
YEAR 8E CAMP The day had arrived, the bus was packed, the mothers were waving goodbye. Yeehaa!! Camp K.A.O.S. was underway, headed (in comfort) for the South-West. Our first port of call Busselton Jetty. The brave ventured out to the very end, not see anything of importance but just because it was there. While most walked this historic relic of a bygone era, others began a game of cricket, the like of which will never be seen in a "Test Arena". Yallingup Beach Caravan Park. To the casual onlooker the scene was one of a classic comedy, boys and parents attempting to erect tents as will never be seen again! "Oh, what a mess". Once the tents were up and reasonably stable the crew ¡ went for the first of many short walks. Led (astray) by Mr Jarvis, Fitzgerald, Cattalini and Hendon. This quiet beach walk led us to a dead end, with the only way to continue UP! So up we all went, into thick scrub and finally onto a firm bush track. The aim of the walk was to find a suitable place to hold our nightly games of Spotlight and Lantern Stalks, thankfully this was achieved and many hours of nightly play eventuated. The Walk. After a pleasant mornings outing, a brief surf and a lovely lunch, Mr Hendon took the boys and Mr Jarvis on a walk to find a cave at the base of some cliffs. The idea was to meet Mr Fitz and Big Catt at Sugar Loaf Rock in about I hour orso. 3Y2 hours later, after climbing over rocks, up a very big cliff face, and walking at least 8 km through bush and beach we arrived at our agreed destination. Needless to say all the boys slept very well and vowed never to believe Mr Hendon about distances ever again. The evening also provided an insight into Mr Cattalini's skill with a deck of cards, especially his ability to play switch. -The Cave. The bus stopped at a small limestone ridge. The brave and foolhardy climbed cautiously to its summit where a small cave was located. A rope and torch and a little bit of faith led the boys to investigate this cave (after Mr Jarvis and Fitzgerald had checked it to be safe), a new experience was thus gained by many. The Lake Cave was a real treat, after hot dogs for lunch, a game of cricket (in the gravel car park), the boys were witness to the wonders of nature and also a quick lesson on manners by a sedate Mr Hendon.
All this because we couldn't find a decent hill to sand board on. Flour Power. Mr Jarvis was able to explain the many intricacies of agriculture to the crew, however even his gift of the gab wasn't enough to prevent the boys from throwing him into the ocean. This meant revenge had to be taken. The boys prepared for the encounter by making the most repulsive flour bombs known to man. Neither side was prepared for the massacre which followed. Boys will be boys, just ask Mr Hendon or Mr Jarvis, the true meaning of flour power (they were Govered from head to toe). Finally it must be said that camp Yallingup Beach was a success. Not just for the fun and adventure which was experienced by all but also for the camaraderie, friendship and tolerance of individual differences which developed over the week. Thanks to Mr Fitzgerald, Mr Cattalini and Mr Jarvis for helping 8E have a very enjoyble camp. _The Crew of K.A.O.S. , Kids Against Organised School
PRIMARY SCHOOL CAMPS YEAR 7 CAMP ROTTNEST ISLAND
YEAR 6 CAMP
We all arrived at the dock and were met by Mr. Holtham and the dads. We all piled on the Temeraire II and waved goodbye to our parents as the ferry set off. As we arrived at Thomson Bay the crew started giving out the bikes. When we had our bikes we all went to our quarters. We were split into groups, one for Cottage K2, another in Cottage E and the other in the Priest Quarters, which had the best facilities. Each day boys were given $2, either to spend or to save, many boys played the video games. One day we went out in the 'Underwater Explorer' which showed the underwater marine life and the shipwrecks out on 'Transit'. The trip was very enjoyable. On the third day of camp Mr. Holtham told us that we were going on a leisurely 3 hour bike ride around the island, more like a 5 hour slow murder attempt! The ride was enjoyable because we got to see the island and it's surroundings. We had a swim at West End in the shark infested waters. On the trip back to the mainland the sea was rough and many people were sick, I thought I saw a couple of people turn green. We finally made it back safely and we rejoined our parents. The camp was great and everyone enjoyed it.
The 1986 Year 6 camp was a great success. It was held at York in the old hospital. We went on lots of very interesting excursions and got up to some mischief at the A von River and on the road to the cemetery at night. Some of our excursions included the Old Police Station, The Balladong Farm, Sandalwood Press, The Motor Museum and the Residency Museum which was just next door to the old hospital. Every night after dinner we did something different than the night before. On the first night was our fancy dress ball, the next night some people went down the road to try and find the cemetery and were back just in time for the mass. On the next night, we all enjoyed some fun and games in which Mr. McKirdy did very well. On the last night each dormitory performed a play which was judged by the parents and Mr. McKirdy. Thanks to all the parents help and Miss Figueiredo's organisation this camp was a great success. We left with souvenirs, a bag of dirt, wet clothes and smiling faces. Kenneth Gavranich

YEAR 5 CAMP 1986 Our Year 5 Camp was at Manjedal from the 21 st to the 23rd May. It was extremely exciting for all of us. We saw beautiful birds, flowers and plants as we walked through the bush. One of our class members, Michael Fishbourne got lost in the bush, but eventually we found him wearing only jeans. At dawn the class went marron hunting, but we weren't very successful. The class also had a mass said by Father Damian. On the first night our class teacher Mr. Sta Maria couldn't sleep because of the noise. Everyone went to sleep at approximately 2 a.m. The next day we went to the very exciting commando course. It was a very successful and enjoyable camp.
