CHrnUST~BROTHERS'COLLEGE
?/eartook 1992
THE BROTHERS AT CBC 92 Years On n 1901, following the invitation from the then Bishop of Perth, Bishop Matthew Gibney, the Christian Brothers were invited to establish a Community in Fremantle, and to assume the direction of St Patrick's Boys' School. The Brothers established a secondary department, and the school grew to become Christian Brothers' College, which was the ' ministry in Fremantle.

Brothers Alan Wedd, Geoff Seaman and Tony Hackett are fulltime staff members of CBC. Brother Basil Hickey is a community member but works in the wider community as a counsellor. Continuing the Brothers' commitment to Catholic education, Brothers Pat Carey and Bill Greening are on staff at the University of Notre Dame Australia, Fremantle. In spite of our different ministries, ages and backgrounds, we
try to live a life of Brotherhood which sometimes seems hidden behind the walls of our house. Yet it is here in community that we try to discover in our own lives the Gospel values of Jesus , so that we may in some way share them with others . These are some of the challenges of being a Christian Brother in Fremantle in 1992. P A Hackett cf c 1

After special about teaching at CBC and I twenty years of teaching notice a real commitment of their time and energy to the well being of students . and classroom involvement I find that my usual way of Achievement and the development of meeting the people who make up a talent is encouraged and there is a school has changed: much of my time sense of order and purpose in the is now spent with staff members and school. not so much of it with students or I should note, too, that the staff also parents. care for one another which is part of Then people ask me, "What do you the sense of community I referred to think of CBC?" or, "What's it like earlier and which was so obvious in the being back here again?" I do not yet warm welcome which they extended to have a complete answer to these me. In all, it makes for a happy questions but impressions have formed atmosphere where staff come to work so that I can make some early smiling each morning. observations about CBC, what kind of The same cheerful, helpful spirit is school it is and what I hope will be my evident amongst the parents and the role in its future. friends of the school. I find that the People often speak of the ethos of a Parents & Friends are as busy as they Br Alan Wedd - Principal CBC Fremande school. Many factors combine in ever were in working to make CBC a creating this somewhat intangible better place and when I meet with the quality but what I have chiefly felt is an awareness that here school Board I know that it is totally committed to the welfare of this school. is a Catholic school with special traditions. The sense of belonging to the CBC community was evident on Family Day As I look around at how the school has changed since I was and the strength of that culture was revealed to me when I met last here in 1976, I can see the obvious things. Things such many old Old Boys who were proud to have gone to school as the development of the school grounds, the size of the cakes here. at the Ellen St canteen and the one remaining plane tree (but Br McCarthy reminisced at his 80th birthday celebration that, what a tree!). However, whatever changes there have been on "There has always been something special about CBC boys", the surface, there continues a strong sense of a unique CBC and I see evidence of this in many places . There is an Fremantle culture. There is a lot more for me to learn about outstanding level of courtesy amongst the boys. Students CBC yet. This year I have come to understand how students must feel when they change to a new school mid-year, with greet teachers with friendliness and respect. There is a lack life rushing around them on all sides, but it has been a good of roughness in playground activities and we have very few problems with theft or vandalism. Above all, I believe that start, so I am looking forward to my first full year of school there is a genuine sense of appreciation from the students for life in 1993. what is done for them .

BOARD REPORT for submission to the Catholic Education Office. Its major thrust was for the establishment of a multi-purpose hall and gymnasium. Despite the great deal of work that went into it, approval was not given by the CEO. However, the board is not daunted by this set-back and will be submitting a modified proposal for 1993. The Fund and Friend Raising Committee was led by Mrs Cassy Morin and was a very creative group which generated numerous ideas. Its main task was to promote CBC in the community. The initiatives that it worked on included "Palma", the Old Boys' magazjne which was published again this year. Under the editorship of Br A Shannahan its circulation rose from 1500 to 3000 copies. Also, the "100 Club" of the oldest ex-students was successfully inaugurated at the annual Family Day Mass. Grandparents' Day was also successfull y ini ti ated at the Tuckfi eld St Cam pus. In pi anning for 1993/94 the committee is actively seeking to organise an Art Exhibition at the school ,
arly in the year the College Board performed the duty of interviewing for a new principal. The unanimous choice for the appointment was Br Alan Wedd who has the task of leading CBC through these changing times. Indeed, change and development have been important focal points for the CBC Board throughout the year. The appointment of three new Board members, Mr Ian Handcock, Mr Frank Schaper and Mr Joe Martis, has been in keeping with this theme. They have brought new skills and perspectives to the Board's work. One area of concern that came immediately to the attention of the Planning and Development Committee under the able chairmanship of Mr Michael Cronin, is the place of CBC in the Fremantle area and the South-West region. A full daylong Board conference firmly acknowledged CBC's place in F rem antl e .s future as an all boys' school. This committee refined a five-year capital development plan

The Financial Committee has laboured hard to find a formula for a realistic fee level for 1993. This has been done with due awareness of, and concern for, the difficult economic situation that many families find themselves in at present. At the end of this year four long serving members will leave the board. Mr Kevin O'Brien, Mr Michael Cronin, Mrs Cassy
Morin and the Board Chairman, Mr Gus Irdi will depart. To these people, respect and sincere thanks are due. Thanks also go to each board member for the long hours spent in the interests of CBC and for the level of enthusiasm and expertise that they have brought to the college.
PARENTS & FRIENDS he theme for the Family Day Mass for 1992, "New Wine Skins", was chosen as it concerns "tradition and change" which has occurred at CBC this year. The Parents and Friends committee consider this appropriate also to our activities throughout this year. On the traditional side the Opening Mass in February and the Family Day Mass in October were once again the most important events in our year. The CBC community of staff, students and families attended in great numbers. The Founder's Day Mass witnessed change with the inauguration of Br Alan Wedd as Principal of CBC FremantIe. Our fund-raising year started with the Book Sales in January, this being one of our major money raising functions . We acknowledge the tremendous work done in organisation by Vene and Jim Fitzgerald. Thanks also to Mrs Gavin of Ellen St and Mrs Peterson of Tuckfield St who collect the P & F levy . Our fund raising activities varied from a "No Bake Cake Stall" to the fun filled Dinner Dance in August, and the traditional raffle in which every family participates . Almost all of the money raised this year has been spent on
upgrading facilities for the students particularly in the areas of Physical Education, Computing, Library, Manual Arts and Catering. The three "busy bees" organised by Rod Townsend again had a tremendous response from Parents ever ready to help. Our meetings have been consistently attended, and the three meetings at Tuckfield St Campus have been outstanding with in excess of 60 parents attending, which suggests a great interest from that campus. The committee particularly would like to acknowledge the guidance and cooperation given to us throughout this year by the Acting Principal Mr Sandri, and the support of the staff when we needed their assistance in collecting money. God bless you all . P & F Committee

SRCREPORT of some fantastic, head turm~g initiative, but they don't always come along. Subsequently, the SRC of 1992 undertook the movement of many small hills, some of them merely lumps in the earth, but all of them worthwhile and essential to the running of the school. Some of these were: an afterschool student busy bee; Year 12 tuckshop assistance (serving); "Class of '92" leaving jumper; recycling; surfing competition; support of sporting teams and cheer squads; and, Family Day input. I would like to thank the members of the SRC for their efforts this year and for being strong leaders. Many thanks also to Mr Sandri, Br Wedd and staff for their continued support and a special thanks to Miss Fowler, Miss Dutton and Br Seaman whose experience and "words of wisdom" proved invaluable . Ken Gavranich
he year got off to a flying start with an overnight live-in workshop at Noalimba in Bateman. This gave the SRC of 1992 a good chance to 'get to know one another' in a relaxed atmosphere and also let us put forward many aims and initiatives for the year ahead. Mr Herb Ende gave us a very entertaining outline on formal meeting procedures and a lot was learnt by all. The workshop proved very successful and was a valuable starting block for what lay ahead. With a bundle of new ideas and a great deal of enthusiasm the year got under way but it soon became evident that a lot of what we had hoped for was not going to be easy - some mountains take a lot of moving. The problem then became "Where to find new mountains?" . Every chairman is in search

SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL REPORT 1992 has proven to be yet another excellent year for the CBC Junior Conference of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul with a lot of commitment and enthusiasm definitely evident. Throughout the year many activities were done, and these all had positive influences on those we assisted and those in the group. Again this year our Skye Hospital trips went ahead, with one each term. These trips are greatly appreciated by the people from Skye. When we arri~with the bus, their faces beam and afterwards they always looklorward to going on the next trip. It is a fantastic opportunity for them to get out into the open, and go for a scenic drive along the river, then stop at a park for lunch. At the end of these trips you feel rewarded, for you know you've made them very happy. Our annual clothing Drive was once again a success, with this year being close to the best we've ever had. Also, we helped out the Volunteer Task Force by seIling raffle tickets. Along with our outing with Skye, two or three group members at times visited those at Skye for a friendly chat, and sometimes an update on the 'footy' .
This year to celebrate the SVDP Feast Day on the 23rd of September, we came up with the idea of a $1 day. This was quite successful, boosting our Term 3 mission for refugees to a record. An extra event this year was the introduction of Br Casey and the holiday activities he organises for the underprivileged children of the Koondoola area. During the First Term holidays Jason, Greg, Luke and myself were involved in an outing to Fremantle, where many of these children had never been before. As they were between the ages of about 7 and 13, many used us as punching bags, horses, and shoulders to cry on. The outing was another popular success. This year also saw the loss of a SVDP member, David Moore, who had been involved with the school conference for three years. We would like to thank him for the effort he had put in during that time, and we all wish him well in his new occupation. It's great to see and hear from David regularly, and his cheerful presence is sadl y missed. As President, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for everything. Thanks to our only Year 12 representative, 12
YEARllRE WORKSHOP Richard Albuquerque; to Greg Davies, Ryan Glamuzina and Luke Godwin from Year 11; and to Steven Andreazza from Year 10. Their generous time, effort and enthusiasm was appreciated. Thanks, also to our reliable secretary, Jason Judge. Finally, special thanks to Br Seaman for his valuable experience and help. Gino Premici J JS
he Year 11 RE WorI(shop was held in the last week of Term One. It took the format of going to school for the four days in casuals and attending workshops. We left at the normal school time each day . Much of the workshop was spent in small groups of about twelve, in which we discussed many things, including getting to know ourselves and our peers. We also talked about problems that we as young people face and how best to answer those questions. The small group size allowed for many honest responses. The afternoons of the first two days were spent playing sports, with the emphasis on team spirit and total team participation. Each small group broke into halves and played six varied sports: football , soccer, handball, basketball, softball and volleyball. However, the highlights of the workshop were the many guest speakers who talked to us . Over three of the days, members of the Youth Christian Group talked to us and shared their experiences of being a young Christian in today's society. They talked about a large variety of topics over the three days they were with us and they definitely encouraged many of us to lead fulfilling Christian lives . Mr Steven Hall, of the Perth City Mission, gave a very entertaining lecture on the topic of Peer Group Pressure. His vibrant personality and excellent communication skills allowed us to become quite involved. Two aboriginal speakers, Mr Ben Taylor and Mr Noel Morich, gave us a very informative lecture on the plight of the Aboriginal people. They spoke of their people's hardships, from the past and also in the present. We were also fortunate to have three guest speakers from Mt Pinatubo in the Philipines, whose homes were destroyed last year by the fury of the volcano, Mt Pinatubo . They spoke to us about their fear and informed us how sacred Pinatubo was to them . The main reason they came to speak to us was to thank us for our mission donations which will aid them in the restoration of their lives. The workshop culminated in a Mass , celebrated by Father Hannah, to which our parents were also invited. Father's homily about Christian life summed up adequatedly the four day workshop. On behalf of Year 11, we would like to thank all of the staff members who helped organise and supervise groups, the guest speakers who gave us all very valuable information. Special thanks go to Br Seaman, whose valuable experience and organisation made the workshop run very smoothly and successfull y . Mark Bosnich & Gino Premici

YEAR 12 WORKSHOP n 7th of April, the class of '92 arrived at school with bean bags and luggage and enough food supply to survive for a week . We boarded the bus . for a two hour journey to Fairbridge and on arrival we observed the numerous sporting facilities and cottages which would house us for the following four days. These four days comprised of eight one-and-a-half hour sessions in which the students were taught numerous life skills such as active listening and the expression of feelings. In our free time we were eager to contact the Masters of Football: Mr Cole, Mr Barns, Mr Theseira and Mr Geers. Although constantly humiliated they insisted upon further puni'shment and ridicule . Having been convincingly oUfclassed in football, Mr Barns and Mr Cole tried their luck at tennis to restore some lost pride, but to no avail. Some of the highlights of workshop were the daily visits to Nanga and the paraliturgy . All in all, the students developed an awareness and understanding amongst each othe r, which has been noticed ever since we returned to school. Peter Sgro & Robert Gaud

MATHS & SCIENCE CAMPS arly this year, in January, the state Mathematics and Science camps were held. The "1992 Summer Mathematics and Computer Science Enrichment Camp" was held at UWA and the "WA Science Summer School" was held at Murdoch University. Year 11 students right across Western Australia were selected and participated in these camps. Gerald Croll and I were chosen from this school for the Science camp, and I was chosen for the Mathematics camp.
e
The Science camp was somewhat commercialised, with Alcoa, BP and other firms making a substantial investment. The activities were quite numerous and varied. They involved such thin~ as lasers, crystal growing, astronomy, bird catching, and many other activities of similar appeal. The excursions were to Jarrahdale bauxite mine, Penguin Island, arC/Orbital Engine Co. and several other places. The visit to Orbital Engine Co. was particularly noteworthy, as it was the first time that anyone not connected with the establishment had actually made a tour of the world renowned laboratories.
The value of the mathematics camp should not be underestimated, however: and would be beneficial for those seeking experience in university life and a possible future career related to mathematics. Ii would be of great worth to those who want to be engineers, both to gain an insight into the scope of the maths studied and to meet other future engineers. I encourage all those who desire experience in university life and more importantly are interested in Mathematics and Science to at least apply for these camps. In my opinion they were definitely a valuable experience. Richard Albuquerque
A few distinguished Australians were also involved in the science camp. These included Ralph Sarich - founder of Orbital Engine Co .; Ross Free - Minister for Science and Technology; Simon Reeves from "Beyond 2000"; and Richard Eckersley. The Mathematics camp was not conducted on such a grand scale as the Science camp. However this camp was valuable in terms of experiencing university life. The most frequent activity was mathematics lectures, which were quite interesting and diverse. They covered such thin~ as "Stealth" fighter design, and the orbits of the planets. The paper accumulated from these activities rivalled even my whole year's work in mathematics.

ROTARY WEEKEND AT PINJARRA arlier this year, Ben DePedro and I attended a Rotary sponsored weekend away at Pinjarra. The camp was centred around meeting new people and developing a more mature way of approaching life's manyobstacles. The camp went for three days, in which time we participated in many different challeJigingand thought provoking activities. As well as this, a number of guest speakers came along to lecture us on the finer points of coping with trials and tribulations oflife. Among those who attended as guest speakers, there was the comical Chris Maxwell who told us how he deals with both peer and work related pressure. Several two hour discussion periods were conducted where we grouped up and argued about current affairs and other significant events in Australian history. This gave us an opportunity to voice our views and hear those voiced by others. Perhaps one of the highlights of the camp was the obstacle course where cooperation was needed in order for a group to pass the sometimes testing obstacles.
Overall, the weekend was thoroughly appreciated and everyone who had the chance to attend enjoyed it immensely. Ben Woollard

SENIOR BALL
~--.he social highlight of the CBC School Calendar,
the Senior School Ball was held on Friday the 15th of May at the Fremantle Sailing Club. The beautiful ocean view was only matched by the 180 people attending decked out in all their very best. Music was superbly provided by "U2ME" who mixed modem day rock and slow rhythm extremely well. There was ample room for dancing, so both staff and students let their hair down (or up as the case may be) and enjoyed themselves thoroughly . The prestigious award of "Belle and Beau of the Ball" was won by Luke Richardson and Kirsty Elzas . In creating such a magnificent night many hours of hard work were put in, and it would be impossible to thank everyone -involved . But special mention must go to Mr Sandri, Miss Dutton, Mr Hortense and the ever energetic Ball committee, who helped piece together the money , venue and band. Special mention must be made to the Year 11's and Year 12's and their partners whose conduct and good will made the night one which was enjoyed and will be remembered in years to come. And finally, a sincere and heart-felt thanks to a special lady who always puts in 110 % effort to make our night special for all of us. Thank you, Mrs Letizia. Scott Leahy Year 12

MOTIVATIONAL BREAKFAST e Year 12 students were very tired and hungry when we gathered in Edmund Hall at 7.45am on a Tuesday morning to listen to a motivational speech by Mr Chris Maxwell. The very enthusiastic Mr Maxwell quickly turned our attention away from the imminent arrival of breakfast and onto himself by shredding a $50 note. Having thus dramatically demonstrated to us the true priority of money, he quickly continued his lively presentation which covered a variety of topics such as interview techniques, job skills and things that would be important for our future in the workplace. In addition he provided some tips for TEE preparation. These included topics like: how to utilize time and cope with stress; how to set positive goals; and ways of developing confidence and self-esteem. He was a lively and enthusiastic speaker who kept our whole group attentive, interested and entertained for the duration of the speech. The whole event was rounded off with the long awaited arrival of breakfast. This consisted of sausages, bacon, scrambled egg, tomatoes and toast. Thanks must go to all the parents and teachers, and in particular Mrs Letizia, who is the Year 12 Coordinator. Mr Doran, Mr Garratt and Mr Sandri also contributed their help in organizing the event. The whole morning was a great success, and we hope that future Year 12's will benefit from similar courses.

even kind enough to show us around Christchurch while we went shopping. They also accompanied us jet boating which was a great experience.

All in all everyone had a fantastic time and I'm sure many of us would love to return for next year 's trip. Thanks must go to Miss Dutton and Miss Bana for all the long hours and hard work that went in to make the trip what it was. Without them the trip could not have been as half as good as it was.

PERFORMING ARTS FESTIVAL Ugly Sisters sent the crowd into a state of unforgettable laughter. As we twirled our feathers around the audience, we also tried extremely hard, but unsuccessfully, to catch Prince Charming's undivided attention (who blames him!). Aslight twist in the ending saw our terribly horrifying mother end up with the Prince. How you ask? Well with the trusty aid of the 'shoe stretcher' , the mother got her man, the poor Prince Charming. All in all, we had a great night and were congratulated by the festival Director. We experienced some great performances from those who competed, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ms' Finch on behalf of all of us for her hard work in helping us re-vamp the script, and for her time after school for rehearsals. We would also like to thank Mrs Ellis who played the great 'Tum Back' tune so well. Gino Premici 11S
n Friday night, at 8.00pm on the 14th of August, CBC Fremantle represented by Aidan Casey, Brendan Smutny, Jason Judge, David Anderson and myself, competed in the Performing Arts Festival of 1992 at the lona College hall. We were in the musical section, and up against Corpus Christi, who performed a scene from "Godspell" and lona who took a scene from "Anne of Green Gables". We performed the "Cinderella" scene from our school production, "The Prince's Pursuit" . It was the scene where Prince Charming, played by Aidan Casey, was confronted by the two very ugly, but raunchy stepsisters, convincingly portrayed by Jason Judge, myself, and their very vulgar mother, Brendan Smutny! David Anderson played our Narrator and he also played the part of the Valet. We performed at our best, and the audience reaction to it was fantastic, and the rendition of "Tum Back, 0 Man", by the 18
FOUNDER'S DAY 1992 n the 28th of August, Christian Brothers' College Fremantle celebrated mass in honour of the founder of the Christian Brothers, Edmund Ignatius Rice. Founder's Day, as it is affectionately known throughout Australia, is a day of celebration and thanksgiving for the life of Edmund Ignatius Rice, who saw a need in Ireland in the earl y 1800's amongst the poor and under privileged. He answered God's call : "The Spirit of the Lord has been given to me, for he has anointed me. He has sent me to bring the good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives" (Lk 4:18-19)
It is in this spirit of proclaiming' the "Good News" that CBC celebrates Founder's Day. The new Headmaster of CBC Fremantle was also welcomed during this liturgical celebration. The staff, students and parents were the witnesses to Br A. I. Wedd's commissioning, as a son of Edmund Rice, to carryon the tradition of the Christian Brothers into the 1990's Mr Theseira
SCHOOL PLAY 1992
n aristocratic, somewhat snobbish prince is attempting to find a bride. Unfortunately , due to some unforseen circumstances, this task becomes quite a problem. The prince is vain, fickle and obsessed with beautiful women. Interference from a fussy goody goody doesn 't help and to make matters worse, the devil decides to become involved as well. Against all odds , the prince does find a bride and everybody lives happily ever after. This year's school production, " The Prince's Pursuit", was an outstanding success. Remember "It 's A Perfect Night For Scheming, It's A Perfect Night For Dreaming ... "? More than forty people were involved and each student gained valuable experience in self control , self discipline and working as a team . We also thoroughly enjoyed ourselves . Thanks must go to Ms Finch the Director. Also Mrs Ellis who organised the music, Ms Bombara the Costume Mistress, Mr Hortense the lighting Man and Mr McIntyre , the front of the house organiser.

QUIT CUP FOOTBALL nce again CBC entered the Quit Cup Football competition. CBC was placed in the Farmer Division and played against some of the most talented footballers. With a new look younger team it seemed quite a task; but with Mr Barns as head coach, his knowledge of the game and the team's enthusiasm, we were ready to face any team. Our first encounter was a scratch match, and a dismal performance against Newman College (winners of the 1991 Quit Cup season), dampened our spirits. However, encouragement from senior players and words of confidence from the coach brought back the team's enthusiasm. Their second game saw a better effort from all players. Although evenly matched with Melville, CBC was unable to post the score on the score board. We went down by six goals. Against Safety Bay the weather conditions were atrocious. Fifty knot winds lashed the players. CBC dominated the first half with good team play aided by the wind. With two goals seven points in the first half to Safety Bay's one point, CBC was set to win their first game. The second half saw a tum around. With long kicks, aided by the wind from the centre,
O
Safety Bay goaled and CBC fell behind. Unable to get back, we went down by one goal four points. The game against Seton college was played in ideal conditions. CBC's true form could finally be seen in a nuinber of individual performances and excellent team work. At our home ground, and with a good number of spectators, CBCled six goals four points to one goal one point at halftime. Again in the second half, CBC dominated with a six goal half. They went on to win twelve goals nine points, to Seton's four goals two points. In the last game of the round CBC played North Lake High School. With a slightly depleted team we lost through bad kicking. The accurate North Lake posted a final score of nine goals three points to CBC's three goals eight points. Although the season was not an on-field success, the young players of the lower school showed talent which will be good for football for future years. The whole team would like to thank Mr Barns for his time and Mr Culver for being team runner. Also, thanks goes to those parents, teachers and students who gave their support. Phil Gee

'th the competition gaining momentum and getting stronger every year, it was to the boys credit that they were able to qualify for the finals . The four top teams were very evenly matched and CBC finished fourth. There were many fine players in the team this year, none better than Captain Domenic Lee, who took out the Best Forward Award, and, Brendan Smutny, who was our Best Back. The Most Improved Player Award was shared by three outstanding sportsmen in David Andreazza, Phil Gee and Ryan Donnelly; all of whom picked up the game very quickly and look set for outstanding rugby careers . Well done to all who played, and good luck to the Year 12's who will be leaving. Keep playing our great game. With some very good players coming from Year Ten, 1993 looks as though it will be a very good one. I'm already looking forward to the new season.

ITALIAN STUDENT EXCHANGE 1992 hiS year CBC was involved with the Inter Cultural/ WAATI Student Exchange Programme. Early in the year, parents and students were asked to consider the prospect of hosting an exchange student from Italy. The Mattioli Family answered the call and generously agreed to become CBC's host family. CBC was fortunate to be given a placement of a 16 year old boy, named Marco Casadei. Marco arrived in WA on Saturday, the 20th of June. He was met at the airport by the Mattioli family and from his very first day in WA, Marco was made part of the Mattioli family and initiated into the social life of Fernando (Year 12) and his friends. By the following week Marco was in full swing with a normal Year 11 timetable at school and a hectic social life at home. His school programme at CBC was very different to that which he followed in Italy and he thoroughly enjoyed the change. Sunday, the 23rd of August, came around very quickly and it was time for Marco to depart. His two months in WAhad been very rewarding. He had learnt about our culture, he had seen how the Italo-Australians had integrated into Australian society, he had also seen some of the sights and the Australian wildlife that he was so interested in, and he had improved on his already very good command of the English language. He left WA feeling both pleased that he had been here and had a strong desire to return in future years to further explore the

natural beauty of Australia. A special mention should be made of the Mattioli family. Marco's stay would not have been as rewarding as it was, if it were not for their efforts as host family. Finally, to the staff and students of CBC for accepting Marco into their classes and allowing him to become an integral part of our every day life at school. MrsMDimasi

1992 ACC Cross Country was once again held at Perry Lakes. Over 15 schools took part in the carnival which saw approximately 100 students compete. The CBC team was confident of a good day having shown their ability to run well in past years. The competition was tough with approximately 150 students starting in each age group of the event. CBC performed as well as was expected, but we were a bit shocked at how much imporvement some schools had made in the past twelve months. CBC finished 9th in the boys category and combined with Santa Maria we finished 5th overall. In general it was a most enjoyable and rewarding day. However it was obvious that even better performances will be required in the future. Thanks to Mr Mitchell and Mr Stack for their assistance with training the team. Mr Preshaw (Coach)
COCA COLA BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP BC again entered a team in the Coca Cola High Schools Basketball Championships this year. After the successes of past years, expectations were high for another successful year, and the selection of the team was made difficult because of the large number of interested players. The final team comprised, for the first time, one Year 9 player, as well as one Year 10, seven Year 11's and three Year 12's. This gave us a blend of new and experienced players, but also left us with a lot to learn. The team performed well in the Southern Regional section of the championships, being undefeated going into the tournament. However, because of the weakening of the team through illness, we were soundly Front Row: RDonnelly, D Hart, R Travia, Mr Di Lollo, T Bienkowski, B Sal~ G Bailey. beaten in the fi rst round of the Back Row: D Anderson, M Briggs, S Jurica, P Gee, B SmUlny. tournament. This was a disappointing result, as the team had the potential to progress much further in the championships. To offset this, we had the honour of having two of our players, Phillip Gee, our captain, and Glenn Bailey, a first year player, being named in the League All-Star team for the Southern Region, an honour that goes to only five players in the whole region. Looking forward to next year there are, again, many enthusiastic and talented basketball players at CBC. We have a very strong Year 9 team entered into a Term Four competition at Perry Lakes, as well as a good Year 10 team entered in the same competition. These boys will be making up the future Coca Cola Championship teams at CBC and ensuring that our reputation as a strong basketball school continues. Mr Di Lalla (Coach
SENIOR HOCKEY .._ _ _. he 1992 season finished on a very successful note with the Year 11 and 12 Hockey team becoming Upper School Premiers . This is the first premiership this hockey team has ever enjoyed. Seven boys have been playing since grade five, (Brent Jarvis, Ian Faulkner, Scott Leahy, Campbell Gibson, Tyree Jackiewicz, Matthew Hine and Ken Gavranich) and throughout the years we have picked up other players (Todd Allen, John Deasy, Martin Ross, Adam Fitzgerald, Dean Hart and Paul Leonard) to create a very formidable team. Under the creative and positive influence of coach Mr Sandri, we won 10 of the Front Row: I Faulkner, T Jackiewicz, T Allen, M Hille, K Gavranich, J Deasy, P Leonard. 15 games played throughout the season. Bac:k Row: C Gibson, M Ross, S Leahy, B Jarvis, A Fitzgerald, Mr S Sandri (Coach). The team to beat in the earl y part of the year was Leeming, our first two encounters resulted in defeat. But with a positive attitude and change of tactics the next three encounters resulted in three successive wins for CBC Fremantle. At the end of the season the team was in equal first place on the ladder. We had many brilliant players who gave the opposition little respite. We scored 50 goals while conceding only 10. We met our earlier foes Leeming in the semi-final and the grand final. The score both times was 1-0 in our favour. The season would not have been complete without our enthusiastic, sporting group of parents who turned up Saturday morning to cheer us along. Special mention goes to Mr Hine our team manager. Many thanks must go to Mr Sandri who always put us in a positive frame of mind and on the right track to this team's first premiership in five attempts. Scott Leahy

UPPER SCHOOL SQUASH
squash players to take part in two separate Under18 competitions - the Mosman Park Squash Oassic and the Coca Cola State Championships. At Mosman Park, we had a lot of practice at losing graciously and we learnt that success is usually preceded and accompanied by a great deal of hard work. Towards the end of the competition we had gained a great deal of experience and skill from our opponents - many of whom were state-level players - and we even managed a few wins. Later in Term Three, a slightly different group of "squashies" took part in the" Cokes" . Here we were much more successful and fought our way though to the finals without a loss, but there was a hitch - the finals were unfortunately to take place on the weekend before the Year 12 Mock TEE. Mr Purcell, our co-ordinator/manager, explained to us our obligation to the school and with a smile on his face, told us to "get our priorities right". We finally gave in and our team rolled up to Curtin only to find that CBC had been scrubbed from the game board and that we had misunderstood Mr Purcell's ironic directions. ~evertheless , we had done the school proud in the fine sportsmanship and commitment we displayed throughout both competitions. Many thanks to Mr Purcell and Mr Mitchell for their support and, well done to the team: Mosman Park Oassic - Shawn D'Cruz, Steven Ferns, Tyree Jackiewicz, Ken Gavranich; Coca Cola Championships - Mark Douglas, Todd Allen, Tyree Jackiewicz, Ken Gavranich, Matt Hine, David Jones, Shawn D'Cruz.

'd like to take this opportunity to thank the students involved with the Senior Soccer Team this year. Because of their enthusiasm and commitment CBC finished in the top 16 schools in all of Western Australia - a position it had never achieved before. Next year promises to be quite exciting: with this year's Year 10 and Year 11 players providing a solid base, there is no reason why we should not better 1992's performances. There is also the prospect of the school hosting a few boys from Japan who would like to learn more about young Australians by playing soccer over here. Many thanks to Mr Savy who has coached the Junior Soccer Team throughout the '92 season, and to members of the Parents & Friends who have paid for the senior team's uniforms. ' Mr Hortense (Coach)

s the YCS celebrated its first fifty years in Australia, we saw a few changes right here in W A. Firstly, the two new full timers, Karen and Andrea , were selected as our state representatives and what a great job they've done to fit in with the group of us here at CBC. Also, our own group at CBC experienced something new - our own new full timer, Miss Bom bara, who took on the group after Mrs Scalise's departure last year. This year's YCS grew in total number of members, which was great to see, and a strong representation from Year 11 saw the group progress throughout the year, sorting out many problems and helping out others. Our annal Easter Raffle was once again successful, raising over $100.00 forthe term's mission effort. Also, apart from our regular Thursday lunch time meetings, we had a combined YCS Conference with the girls from YCS lona in Term 2. This proved very successful as everyone mixed in extremely well. As well as this, three of our members , Billy Carrigan, Brad Rose and Tim Hamid , attended the YCS camp at Eagles Nest, Gidgegannup. Our efforts haven't stopped there . In Term 3, we began our fundraising effort to raise money for the Youth Office of YCS, and also the mission effort for refugees. Our lolly counting competition also proved quite popular. Our group has been very closely knit this year. We maturely shared openly problems or difficulties we had, and as all of these are confidential it helped us develop a sense of trust between each group member. On the 25th of September, a Youth Cruise was held for members ofYCS and beyond. This river cruise proved to be another success story for YCS, and the excellent tum out from CBC was fantastic. Many thanks to all the members, the secretary Jason Judge ,
and the rest of the group, for all the time and effort you all put into each meeting. To Mr Theseira, many thanks for helping out also during the year; it was greatly appreciated. On behalf of all the CBC YCS'ers , we'd especially like to thank Miss Bombara who gave up many lunchtimes to help us out. Also, our thanks for guiding us all to mature spiritually as one, and making 1992 another successful year for the YCS group at CBC. Gino Premici, llS
MISSIONS In 1992 our CBC community - staff and students (with obvious parental support) - have again been very generous and enthusiastic in efforts to raise funds for people in distress. The terrible sufferings of the victims of famine and conflict in Somalia and elsewhere encouraged many classes to find effective ways of raising extra funds. In this respect much of the credit for our 1992 effort must go to our Home Room teachers for their enthusiastic support. No fewer than seven classes raised more than $100 in each of one or more school terms . The outstanding effort for the year belongs to the twenty-one students of 11S who contributed well over $200 in each of the first three terms. In summary, our 1992 contributions: Term 1 Project Compassion (both campuses) $1265.00 Term 2 African Famine Relief (Ellen St) $1112 .35 (Tuckfield St) Term 3 Somalia Appeal (Ellen St) $1610.00 (Tuckfield St) In Term 4 the students have been collecting money for the Church Missions . The exact amount collected, however, will not be known until the end of the year . Br Seaman

MOVE '92 YOUTHFEST - lOOFM uring June and July I was very fortunate to be invol ved in the Move' 92 Youthfest. My part in this project was to represent CBC at 100FM radio station, (Canning Highway, East Fremantle) in the production of a documentary on the subject of homeless youth in Perth and Fremantle. This was an expression of their peers concern and interest in the relief of their plight. Five other students from John Curtin, Hamilton Hill (two) and Seaton (two) also had a part in the documentary's production. My first responsibilities were to attend weekly meetings at the radio station on Wednesday evenings to form an outline of what the documentary would entail, and to then distribute tasks amongst the six of us, with regards to background research, written voice-overs and interviews. The task I had was a particularly interesting one. I was required to perform on the spot interviews of people on the streets of Fremantle, asking questions relating to our topic. The purpose of this exercise was to capture the general
!
opinions and knowledge of the community about homeless youth. The responses I received were varied, surprisingly strong and often quite humorous. My time spent at 100FM was a tremendous learning experience, particularly during the time when the documentary was being condensed and polished into its final form. Many decisions had to be made as to what material would be included and what would be left out, and the reccirding and broadcasting facilities of the station were put to good use. We learnt a great deal about how this equipment was operated. The completed documentary (30-40 minutes duration) was played publicI yin Forrest Chase during the Youthfest acti vi ties during the holidays. 100FM had a portable broadcasting desk set up there, and the six of us were asked to put some of the skills we had learned to practice. My special thanks go to Ms Finch for giving me the opportunity to represent the school in this project and to the Parents & Friends for their substantial financial support.

JUNIOR DEBATING ebuttal'. This was a word which placed immense fear in the hearts of four budding debaters at the beginning of the 1992 season. However, these brave Year 10 boys conquered the technique of debating by the end of the West Australian Debating League's (WADL) series. Paul Iuliano (as second speaker) and Danny Dwyer and Travis Hurley (as third speakers) all performed admirably in their debates and all of whose preparation and courage contributed to the final results. This year CBC went into battle against Christchurch Grammar, Trinity, Hale College, MLC and St Hilda's, with all of the debates being held on home ground. The boys performed well under the guidance of Miss Finch and Mr McIntyre. Despite unsuccessful results, all four boys gained confidence and improved their now superior speaking skills. With all these factors combined, 1993 looks to be a successful year for the CBC debaters.

or some time now I have been leading a double life. Since August of this year I have been co-hosting the "Vibe Music" programme on radio station 100FM on Mondays. This programme is aimed at teenagers and runs for two hours. It involves talking on air and the behind-the-scenes details that go into making each programme run as smoothly as possible. '
In my time there I have improved both my talking skills and my jounalistic skills through researching issues that face ordinary teenagers everyday. My work is then made up into special reports and aired during the "Vibe" time slot. This has proved to be an invaluable experience and one which I believe will be useful in the future. It is possible for anyone who is interested to become involved. All you need is some spare time and a sense of commitment and your radio career is off and running. The experiences that you have and the people that you meet are great. If you're as lucky as I was you can even have your own regular programme. Jason Judge

LUNCHTIME CHESS - ELLEN STREET games in thirty minutes or to simply watch others and learn from them . That they can do so as often as five days a week is a tribute to the generosity of staff members who give up their lunch-break to supervise and sometimes to play against the boys themselves. One thing that makes it worthwhile to have lunchtime chess is the cooperation that is evident amongst the students. Those who wish to learn something of its intricacies are free to play against developed players who are willing to share their knowledge. Above all , though, the rewarding thing is the loyalty that many of the players show to the game by returning again to contest with each other in this fascinating and challenging battle-game. MrMu lvey
ne of the more interesting ways to spend lunchtime at Ellen St campus is to visit the General Science Lab and play chess. This ancient and fascinating game has provided many hours of intriguing entertainment for would be Kasporovs during the two winter terms this year. Chess is a great learning experience and a strict teacher. It teaches logic and tactics, of course, being the most logical of games and the one least governed by chance; but it also teaches restraint, finesse and etiquette. It offers challenge and, for the observant, insight at every level. Of course, not all lunchtime players go on to play competitive chess. There are those who are happy to playas many as three

SENIOR CAMPUS CHESS
One of the better things of having such a relativel y young team competing in the competition is that for a number of years to come we will have a team which will learn from experience and improve rapidl y. Students from the school have also posted good results in both the State Junior and State Open Championships. Daniel Dwyer achieved equal first in the WA under 16 Championships and equal eighth in the WA Senior Chess Championship. It is hoped that many others will follow and participate in future tournaments run by the Junior and Senior Chess Associations of W A. Thanks must go 10 Mr McIntyre and Mr Tbeseira who helped supervise chess at lunch-times, and, also to Mr Mulvey who both supervised chess at lunch times and provided,transport for the interschool competition matches. Danny Dwyer
CBC F remantle has had a most successful year in the chess arena. It has been a consolidation period for the great number of enthusiastic students playing chess at lunch times and our Senior Campus Chess Team has recorded its best result ever, in the Secondary Schools Chess League. The team competing in the A division (the top division is the Premier division) was able to achieve equal fourth in the seven team competition. Although this does not sound brilliant, we onJy had one team loss and were also able to have a team draw against the eventual winners of the division , Scotch B. This was a massive improvement on the result we achieved last year in the same division. The other teams in the division were Scotch B, Mt Lawley SHS, Christchurch B, Hale B, John Forrest B and Balga A. Six students played over the course of the season for the school with the majority of these recording excellent personal results . The students who competed were Daniel Dwyer (Year 10), William Dwyer (Year 8), Jordan Melanie (Year 9), Aaron Connolly (Year 9), Michael Lim (Year 11), and Matthew Armarego (Year 10). 29

gain this year special classes have been conducted to help our students prepare for the Sacrament of Confinuation. Br Hackett kindly undertook the teaching of two classes - 41 students - at Tuckfield St while Br Seaman taught the afterschool group of14 students at Ellen St. The preparation included onelesson per week over a period of about three months. While a few opted to be confirmed in their own parishes most of our students chose to receive the Sacrament in St ~--.I~ Patrick ' s, Fremantle. On the 9th of August over 50 CBC students were confirmed by Bishop Healy. The ceremony contributed to making this very significant occasion a memorable one for all concerned. BrSeaman
YEAR 10'S RETREAT I
he Year 10 Retreat took place at Christian Brothers' Castledare on the 16th and 17th of September. The theme of the Retreat was "Time Out" . It gave the boys the opportunity to reflect upon their lives and "reasons" for living in the 1990's. Fr Paul Fogarty from St Charles Seminary directed the boys in the Sacrament of Reconciliation with the help of several priests including Fr Peter St John , Fr Tim Foster and Fr Jerome Watt. Six members of the Catholic Pastoral Youth also discussed with the boys the value of Reconciliation in their lives . This was part of the preparation fOT Reconciliation. Celebration of the Eucharist was the highlight of the Retreat. Members of school band provided "live" music and all boys were prepared to participate. Br Hackett, Mr Theseira, Mrs Cooney, Mr RoseMeyer and Mr Hortense contributed their help to make the day a success and their aid was much appreciated. Mr Theseira

FAIRBRIDGE CAMP REPORT n Monday 6th of April, 1992, the two forms 9F and 9Bset off for Fairbridge Camp-site in Pinjarra. The bus trip seemed to take ages. When we finally got there we collected our food and went to our cottages . Everyone really enjoyed the camp because we had a lot of free time and we did different activities each day. We did archery, had a lantern stalk, went canoeing, waterskiing, had a quiz night, went to Athlone Goat Farm, played sport against Pinjarra High School, went for a walk around Pinjarra, went roller-skating, went to Pizza Hut, played basketball, went swimming and played on the oval in our free time. On the second day we were woken up very earl y to do our morning exercise with Miss Bana. Then 9B did archery while 9F went water skiing and canoeing. Canoeing was one of the best activities, even though we spent more time in the water than in our canoe. That afternoon the weather was too miserable to go to Falcon Bay, so we had a basketball competition and a softball competition. In the evening we had a quiz night which was quite good. Everyone enjoyed this day. On Wednesday we started the day with Miss Bana's torture
class again. After breakfast we went to Pinjarra High School to play agaiust them in some sports. We won in all sports, Basketball, Volleyball, Cricket and Softball. After a walk around Pinjarra town we went back to Fairbridge for lunch. That afternoon we visited Farmworld which was quite interesting. Thursday started in the same way as every other day, except we went swimming instead of running and stretching. We visited Athlone Goat Farm in the morning, and learned alot about goats from the welcoming owners Mr and Mrs Linning. In the afternoon we had lunch and went to the chapel for a paraliturgy about friends, we also did some posters about friendship . At 4pm we went roller-skating which is harder than it looks, but everyone enjoyed themselves. We had a great dinner at Pizza Hut on our back to Fairbridge. The next morning was spent cleaning and packing up before the trip home. Thanks must go to Miss Fowler, Miss Bana and Mr Di Lollo for their efforts in making the camp so enjoyable for all of us.

GREEN CORNER Have you ever wondered what happens to the very old test papers? Well, CBC Fremantle does not dump them in the rubbish bin! Our school deals with a company which converts used high grade paper (like photocopying paper) into second grade paper (like paper towels). Similarly, cans of soft drinks are being recycled. If students or parents have any ideas about recycling schemes within -the school , please contact Mr Hortense or Mr Williams. Mr Hortense

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL Our Fight For Human Rights n Semester One of this year, the Amnesty Group of fifteen Year 10's and 11's participated in Amnesty International Urgent Action Appeals. This involved the immediate writing to the governments or bodies involved in a situation which Amnesty considered a breach of human justice. These involved tortures and mysterious "disappearances" and also entailed bringing to their attention prisoners who are in need of medical assistance, or are in imminent danger. These cases are very serious, and require prompt responses and our group, under the guidance of Mrs Cooney , made the effort to bring governments attention to these very serious cases . We sent letters to China over the arrest of a man peacefully involved in the Beijing protestsof1989. In Guatemala, wefocused our letter writing on the beating of two street children, and subsequent refusal of the National Police to investigate this incident. Other matters of concern in Guatemala led us to send further letters. Another example of our letter writing efforts was on behalf of a student arrested in Haiti for his political beliefs. Again this was an Urgent Action Appeal.
On the 16th of September, Year 11 Amnesty students attended the launching of the Australian Catholic Bishops' report called "Common Wealth For The Common Good". Archbishop Barry Hickey was there to comment on the document, which looks at the social injustices of today, in Australia. After his comment on this document the students, including many from other schools, proceeded into Perth to distribute pamphlets outlining the report. On the 16th of October, we had a special guest who addressed the Years 9, 10 and 11 classes on the workings of Amnesty International, to coincide with Amnesty Week. Mr Jfe who is President of Amnesty in W A, spoke with conviction on many social injustices around the world. After this talk it was time for the members of Amnesty, YCS and SVP to depart for our camp down in Dwellingup. We stayed overnight, and our bushwalk lantern stalk, and the night mass celebrated by Fr Doug, were the highlights of this very successful camp. Many thanks to Mr Theseira for his organisation. On behalf of CBC Amnesty International group, I would like to thank Mrs Cooney for her support during the whole year and for all the time she gave up to help us out. We greatly appreciate all you've done for us.
We also wrote to Prime Minister Paul Keating before his trip to Indonesia earlier this year, asking him to express to the Indonesian government Australia's concern regarding the Dili massacre and asking that those responsible be brought to justice. Our biggest project for this year in the Amnesty group was a letterthon, in which we focused on human rights abuses in India. We made a target of 200 letters, and we reached that goal with a lot of hard work and effort. The problems in India are very serious. To clarify this, here is an extract from our recent information Bulletin "Appeal".
As I conclude with the following extract , hopefully it will inspire us all to speak and act in defence of human rights, while we are still free and capable of doing so. In Germany they came first fof the communists, and I cidn't speak up because I wasn't a communist Then they came for the Jews, and I cfdn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I cidn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholcs, and I cfdn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me -, and by that time no-one was left to speak.
"On the 26th of June. 1989. eieven children were kept iliegally throughout the night and all were tortured, being prime 'suspects as the police had said. Many were torlured senselessly, being beaten wiJh leather belts, given electric shocks, and also hung upside down until unconscious. "
WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN OUR AMNESfY GROUP IN 1993?

YEAR 10 DANCING & SOCIAL any Year 10 boys were anxiously awaiting the siren to mark the end of the day. Dancing lessons were about to start. As soon as the siren sounded, everyone rushed into the chan e rooms which, within minutes, were smelling with the aromas of favourite deodorants. The bus trip was filled with nervousness and expectation which reached a height when lona school came in sight. We approached the hall reluctantl y and after much indecision we entered and were introduced to the girls. The.first dancing lesson was under way. At its conclusion I'm sure everyone agreed it was a lot of fun. During the nine dancing lessons throughout the term, we learnt many dances which included the popular Slow Rhythm, Waltz, Pride of Erin, Hucklebuck, Paddycake-Polka, Jive and Cha Cha Cha. The last dancing lesson was a revision lesson and we were taught dance room etiquette. Luke VanDerZanden, Chris Coomber and girls. The social wac; held on the 1st of July at lona's Nagle Hall. It started at 7:30pm, but many eager boys arrived as early as 7:00pm. The standard of dress was extremely high. The majority of boys wore good shirts and jeans, while most of the girls wore short skirts. At 7: 15pm there wac; a distinctive gap between the boys who were on the extreme right of the hall and the girls who were on the left of the hall. As 't he enthusiastic DJ started to play the music, the boys asked the girls to dance and soon everyone was on the dance floor. Waltz, Flirtation Jive, Hucklebuck were some of the dances in the first half of the social. At 9:10pm there was an intermission of 20 minutes which gave some of us a chance to catch our breath. For some boys this was the chance to make that big move and talk to a girl we had been admiring during dancing lessons. We were each given a drink and able to choose from a variety of chips and cakes. Boys and girls were socialising well now. Everyone said that the social was great at this point. At 9:30pm it was time to head back up to the hall to resume dancing. It was time to select the most improved dancers. When theDJ announced Chris Coomber, he nearly fainted from the surprise. The expreSsion on his face said it all. The other winner wac; a girl named Allison. Chris and Allison were each given a gift and then they had the pleasure of dancing with each other in the comer of the hall. The night continued but soon the DJ announced it was time for the last dance of the night. We danced to the tune of Bryan Adams. It was hard to believe that three hours had gone by. It just goes to prove that "time flies when you're having fun". Goodbyes were said all round. Many telephone numbers were exchanged. The social and dancing lessons would not be possible without the teachers. I would like to thank Ms Dutton, Miss Fowler, Miss Ivankovich, Miss Bana, Mrs Cooney and Br Hackett who attended the dancing lessons and the social. A very special thankyou must go to Mr Rose'meyer who organised everything. Without him all this would not be possible.

On the 2nd of May and the 4th of September, the Year 9's had a social with Santa Maria and lona. The venue for both socials was at East Fremantle Parish Hall.With the lead up to the Santa Maria social, spirits were high and all were expecting a great night. By 7:30pm the Social had started and the Year 9's broke the record by only taking five minutes to start dancing. Everyone had a great night, even though some note books were left empty .The lona social was also being eagerly awaited. This social was a little slow to get moving but when Joe Polimeno, Daniel Prestage and friends hit the floor everyone started getting into it. Thanks must go to Miss Fowler, Miss Bana, Miss Dutton, and all other teachers who helped.

MATH-O-QUEST COMPETITION
THE MATHS GAME COMPETITION
he Abacus "Math-O-Quest" competition was a very difficult and interesting project and we worked long and hard to produce a good assignment. There we could choose from: where rings were moved to find "Orange Crate Problem" packing whole "Patterns in Pot
he Mathematics Game Competition was run over a weekend in Term Two starting on a Friday and ending on a Sunday. The competition consisted of over fifty schools partIcipating in a total of three games and a puzzle paper. The winners were the schools which achieved the highest overall mark over the three games. The puzzle paper was separate and the school with the highest mark on this won a prize. One of the games played was a game called "Barriers" in which players had to draw lines across a grid going in opposite directions. These lines could not cross and the winner was the person who put the last line down. The other two games were "squares" and the "egg carton" game. These other two games relied on strategies and each school was given time before each game to work these out. The four players slept in rooms next to each other and each room could fit two people. Over the weekend free time was given and this could be spent using the sport facilities such as the tennis courts and volleyball courts. There was also a room with video games in it and a room where the television could be watched. On the Saturday night there was a disco and everyone enjoyed themselves dancing to the music the disco jockey was playing. The results were as follows: 1st: Scotch College 2nd: Safety Bay SHS 3rd: Guildford Grammar Puzzle Paper: 1st: PLC Overall the Mathematics game competition was a great success which was enjoyed by all schools. We hope that next next year's ~ill be as successful. Michael Wolfenden, David Foley, Daniel Baldwin

instance. For each topic there wert some lines of research which were to be used as guidelines if necessary, but otherwise the person choosing the topic could do whatever he wanted as long as it was mathematical. The judging of the competition was held during the second week of September, at the Ministry of Education, Perth, and the projects submitted by CBC 9 Mathematics 1 were on display together with entries froin many other schools. I couldn't say we enjoyed doing the project as it was very difficult, but I know that a lot of effort was put into the assignments by all the "teams" and the judges rewarded the CBC team with merit certificates for their entry.

he Year 10 boys ventured into the world of work again this year for one week, during the school's Work Experience Programme. Most of the boys attacked this opportunity with great enthusiasm and made the week very successful. As they have in the past, employers commented that it was a pleasure to have our boys on work experience and that their punctuality, politeness and endeavour was of a very high standard. There were many different careers covered during the course of the week. The popular areas of Law, Architecture, Physiotherapy and Accounting were eagerly sought; but students were also keen to try some lesser known fields such as Naturopathy, Meteorology and Ship Building. Regardless of the area chosen the experience gained in relating to adults in a work situation, being responsible for being at a certain place at a certain time and being able to see themselves in ajob that they'd enjoy, made the work experience a valuable time for all students. Hopefully, they may now be a small step closer to each being able to identify and aim for the career path thal' will best suit them. Mr Di Lollo

JUNIOR SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY he In-School Cross Country race organized by Mr Mitchell took place on Thursday the 28th of May this year. Competitors had to run from Cottesloe to Port Beach. Students were set down at the Cottesloe Beach foot path and began their four kilometre run from there. All classes had been given ample running practice and knew the course well. At the other end of the track, teachers and student helpers were busily setting up tables, markers and papers for the incoming students. Well done to David Townsend of Year 5, John Austin of Year 6, Emmanuel Arandiga of Year 7, all of whom came first in their classes. The first runner from Year 8 to finish was Clint Harris. Year 8C is to be congratulated for a spectacular effort in Coming first. Our thanks go to Mr Mitchell and other staff for organizing the run and our congratulations are extended to students for their high level of participation. Asanka Gunasekera

Unlike many other carnivals, no points are awarded for placings, only times of the winners of events are recorded. This is to take the emphasis away from winning, and to enhance the concept of participation. The boys from CBC performed well in all events and enjoyed the opportunity to swim against boys from other schools.

YEAR 8/9 Ace FOOTBALL his season the ACC Football team had mixed results. The team got off to a slow start, losing its first four games, but reversed this in the last part of the season by beating the top three teams inconsecutive games. Our first game was scheduled against John Walloston on Thursday the 7th of May, but due to unfortunate circumstances, CBC forfei ted the match. For the next three matches the team consisted of Year 8' s oul y . The second match of our season took place on Thursday the 14th of May against Kolbe College. It was a tough game as Kolbe consisted of Year 8 and Year 9 pupils. Kolbe proved to be too strong in the end and we lost by 7 points.

For the remaining games a mixed team 9f Year 8's and Year 9's was to represent CBC. This boosted the physical strength and skill level of the side greatly and proved to be a successful move as the remaining three games were our ouly victories for the year . We defeated All Saints by 42 points, Saint Norberts by forfeit and Lumen Christi by 12 points. These teams were the top teams in the competition. Throughout the whole season the boys showed great courage and endeavour and represented their school with pride at all times; they were a credit to themselves, their parents and their school.

YEARS 9 & 10 RUGBY ears 9 & 10 rugby has had a very good season in terms of players. We have played every match with a full team, and on many occasion with 3 or 4 reserves . During the season we played Scotch College, Hale, Christchurch Grammar, Aquinas, Guildford Grammar, Newman College and John XXIII. During these matches the players played with a good spirit and always conducted themselves well . We had a truly international front row, with Rodrigo Gonzales from Chile (tight head prop), Ronnie Elhaj from Egypt (hooker) and Phillip Montgomery-Smith from Australia (loose head prop). Our scrum half Marco Di Lucia played with great enthusiasm all season and learnt a lot as captain. We took part in Front Row: VD'Sousa, N McCloskey, A Hilderbrant, M DiLucia (C), P Migue~ R Callaghan, TCronin. the Caltex Cup Competition at Guildford 2nd Row:A Dell>]; R Elhaj, M Rear, M O'Neil~ R Ganzales, C Annelill, N Garces, J Gray, R Buswel~ G Loughlan.

YEAR 9 Ace BASKETBALL he Year Nine ACC Basketball team played a total of five games in the Term One competition. The team members were Richard Travia, who led the team every week with his outstanding ball handling skills and excellent team play, Zunaid Fakie, Matthew Sullivan, Mark Tripolone, Daniele Salerno, Paul Rebelo, Chris Yates, Niall McOoskey, Jay Bunt and Patrick Galvin. We were lucky enough to have the expertise of Year 11 student Aid-an Casey as our coach and Miss Fowler as our manager. Phillip Gee kindly offered to come along to umpire our home games. The season was short but thoroughly enjoyable. We were disappointed not to make it to the final, but Kolbe College earned that place. This competition has provided a starting place for selection into the 3 teams that will be playing in the competition at Perry Lakes Stadium in Term 4. There is ~rtainly a great deal of basketball talent in Year 9 and we hope to be successful in our efforts in Term 4. MsFowler

YEAR 9 HOCKEY he 1992 hockey season was extremel y successful for the Year 9 Team. Competing in a predominantly Year 10 competition was always going to be a challenge; however, we earned a place in the grand final with commendable wins over the CBC Year 10 team and Mazenod A. The preliminary final was especially tough, going to penalty flicks. Unfortunately, we lost to Aranmore in the final , 1-0 in the last minute of sudden death extra time. One of the outstanding characteristics of this team is it's defence. Nelson Garces is a goal keeper of remarkable skills. It is on very rare occasions that a goal gets past him . Our full backs Justin Golding and Matthew O'Neill are also very strong. They have very strong clearing hits and the ability to keep their cool. Our other players also Front Row: M Perna, K Lawlor, D Foley, N Garces, M Di Lucia, B Hall, S Bosio. featured strongly in our team's success. Back Row: Ms Fowler, W Brandon, C Perna, M O 'Neill, J GoltUng, M VUlci, Mr Rose 'Meyer. David Foley was named "Fairest and Best" for the season. He is an agile, accomplished hockey player, and a consistent goal scorer. The talent in this team is outstanding. I hope that they will have another attempt at winning the grand final in 1993.

ACC Tennis was played during the first term. CBChad many eager and able students . wanting to join the team. It was decided that with all the available talent to have a large squad and select eight players from this each week . The squad comprised of both Year 9's and 10's. After the players were ranked, it was easy for Ms Dutton to pick suitable partners to play t?gether. All games played were doubles'. They consisted of timed matches and the pair with the most games in their favour at the e~d of the allotted time being named the winners. The school wi th the most winning matches was the winner. If the number of matches were tied, then the winning school was decided on by the number of games won. The competition ran for eight weeks. The Row: C Brown, B Paganoni, C Jurewicz, D C= schools that were also in the competition Row: G Lough/in, S Murphy, D U)inne, J Srdarov, J Vuia4 A D'Angelo, B Da Conceicao, were Seton, All Saints and Kolbe. The J Melanie, Ms RDutton Games were played on Thursday afternoons with our home ground being Fremantle Tennis Oub . The competition was at times fierce, but we had strong combinations and the depth of experience to draw on. CBC only experienced one defeat during the season, to All Saints, when the matches were drawn and we lost on count-back.

All students played well and contributed their best. Year 10' s were1ed by strong performances from Jimmie Vidal, Jamie Srdarov, John Blair and Bruno Da Conceicao. The Year 9's were led by the experience of players like Chris Brown, while David Wynne, Stefan Murphy, and Damian Cox also proved good contributors with their high level of skills through to the season. Thank you to all boys who gave up their time to represent the school in such an outstanding way. The season was in many ways exceptional, with such a great win/loss record; but also the enthusiasm and commitment shown by all boys contributed to making a successful team.

YEAR 8 CAMP
~
he Year 8 Camp this year was held at Point Peron, near Rockingham. We left the Junior Campus at about 1O.30am, and reached our .destination at 1l.15am. We unpacked the bus and were assigned to our dorms.
After lunch, 8A & 8e left for the Mandurah TenPin Bowling Alley, while 8B & 8D went to Jandakot and visited Brown's Horse Hire. Everyone arrived back at the dorms at 4.30pm. We had free time for showers and some activities, including fishing, basketball and hand tennis.
After dinner, (which was organised by Mrs Faria) we went to the class mass which was celebrated by Fr Fullbrook. The theme was based on friendship. Then we had a choice of either going fishing or going on a lantern stalk. Next morning, before breakfast, we were allowed to go fishing or join in the beach sports. At llam, 8A & 8C left for horse riding while 8B & 8D left for the bowling alley. Later on, many of the students tried their luck at fishing off the point. In the evening, we held a concert night in which everyone had to perform a small skit. There were some funny acts including impersonating teachers and dwarf aerobics. After this, we had the choice of fishing at Palm Beach Jetty or watching, "Don't Tell Mum, The Baby Sitter's Dead!" The next day was spent cleaning the dorms and packing the bus. Finally, we would like to thank Mr Holtham, for organising the camp, Mrs Faria, for preparing the food and all the staff and parents who helped in the kitchen, and supervised us .

MUSIC COMMITTEE 1992 has proved to be a successful year for the CBC Music Programme. The newly elected committee whole-heartedly launched a range of activities. Some were fundraising, others purely social. At the beginning of the year the Music Luncheon was held at Tuckfield St Campus. New parents experienced the talents of our Junior Band under the direction of Mr Kim Anning and Choir under the direction of Mr Greg Culver. One of the highlights for the Junior Band was their performance at Kings' Square for Fremantle Day which received enthusiastic applause. Mid year, the Music Festival held at the Fremantle Town Hall was a tremendous success. This event is one of our major fund raisers and parents wholeheartedly supported the function and thoroughly enjoyed their sons' performances on stage. The Jazz Orchestra participated again in the annual York Jazz Festival. It was a great experience for the boys and they exCelled themselves musically at the different venues at York. The Interlude this year had a different musical flavour which included a Mandolin Ensemble and Barbershop Quartet. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening and voted a great success. Last year the Carols by Candlelight performance was held in the courtyard of the Notre Dame University, Fremantle. This event was enjoyed by the whole school community. Along with the regular annual music events mentioned above, 1992 saw the launching of a major fundraising effort for the 1993 Jazz Orchestra tour to Singapore. The Committee successfully organised two Bingo evenings, a Fresh Produce stall on Family Day, a Music Breakfast and a major raffle. These activities will continue well into 1993 and we hope the Jazz Orchestra will have a successful tour. The Music Committee is proud to have contributed to the purchase of new instruments and equipment: two trumpets; a printer for the Junior Campus; Choral Music for the Choir; and music books also for the Junior Campus. Sincere thanks are extended to Mr Sandri, Mr StengeI', the Music Staff and the CBC Parents and Friends for their continued support of the committee's endeavours. We look forward to a successful and rewarding year in 1993. Mrs Santos.

MOON MAN VISITS CDC BC was visited by a very distinguished scientist and astronaut in November when Harrison "Jack" Schmitt, the last man to walk on the moon came to talk to students at the Tuckfield St Campus. Mr Schmitt was available to share his experiences and knowledge with only one school in Western Australia. CBC was that school He presented a very entertaining and informative talk. As the only scientist ever to visit the moon, he is recognised as an expert on the history of terrestrial planets. The students benefited greatly from his knowledge and were grateful that he could find time to come to speak to them.

ACC YEAR 8 HOCKEY n Term Two Mr Holtham helped organise an ACC Hockey Team to compete on Thursday afternoons against seven different schools. These schools were Kolbe, Seton, Mazenod, John Wollaston, All Saints, St Norberts and Lumen Christi. Our first game was against John Wollaston but we had to forfeit because of misbehaviour on the bus. Our next game was against Kolbe. We won that game 1-0. We had a bye the next week because of cross country. Next we played Mazenod and we lost that game. On the 4th of June we played Seton and won that game 4-0. On the 18th of June we played St Norberts and won 3-0. In all the games we attacked and defended vigorously. Our last game was on the 25th of June against Lumen Christi and we lost 2-1 because of their superior position play and ball handling skills. It was a great season and, considering we were a Year 8 team only, we played very well.

JUNIOR CAMPUS HOCKEY ~--. he decision of the WestemAustralian
Hockey Association to schedule Under-13 fixtures on Saturday mornings led to a re-structuring of hockey at the Junior Campus. The Schools' Competition no longer for Primary and Year 8grades. Western Australian Hockey Association wished for schools to become associated with clubs rather than field teams in their competition independently. We were directed to Fremantle Hockey Club, who requested us to field teams in their colours using the name of the club. Two teams were fielded in the 1992 season, an Under-ll team and an Under-13 team. The Under-ll team consisted of 14 boys from Years 5 and 6, while the Under-13 team was made up of 15boys from Years 6, 7 and 8. Both teams experienced a high level of on field success. The Under-II team won the Challenge Cup Guth Ardagl Pennant (first place on the premiership table) and the grand final. The Under-13 team won the Guth Ardagl pennant and the grand final. One of the most positive Front Row: J Lazaroo, L Walker, J Masters, Mr S Barber, P /(amp, B John, J Calzilda. features of the season was the high level of 2nd Row:D Novak, B PriJchard, N OBrien, A Christidis. parental inyolvement.

The season has been a rewarding and enjoyable one. Serving two masters (CBC Fremantle and Fremantle Hockey Club) is never easy but we have established a good relationship with both. Some fine tuning still needs to be done for the 1993 season but, based on the experience of our first season in the WAHA Competition, we can look forward to a bright future. MrSBarber

In drama, one half of the class was chosen in a play written by Mr Culver called "Mutiny at Tuckfield". Miss Finch helped and our 2 live performances were performed excellentl y . The other half of the class created a play. As it was Easter, we called it "Jesus". Jason Connolly played Jesus.
ear 7 - the final year of primary school and a year that would see many happy times under the guidance of Mrs Womer. Many special events highlight the year we've had. In the second term, mums made a special commitment in teaching the boys to sew and make a special book bag. The sport event for the 1st Semester was swimming. For sport on Thursdays we would go down to Bieton Baths to swim in the river. Our carnival was held at the Fremantle Pool. Henry Miller was Champion Boy; runners up were Arnold Villi ages and Luke Caputi. In art, we had a competition to see who could do the best, "Where's Wally?" drawing. The winners, Luke Walker and Wayne Carter, won a calendar and stickers. Mums, grandmas and fathers came to help us with a cooking lesson in which each group of students got to create any recipe they fancied. Before our cooking we were excited until Mrs Womer told us we had to have a tetanus needle. That quietened our spirits a bit. Nevertheless we had a great time.
Our camp was an in school camp. On our first day we went to Richmond Raceway where a group of adults inspired us to havefun. Our second day was at "Under-Water World" ,where we learnt many of the secrets of the sea. In 3rd Term, Mrs Womer organised a quiz night with Mel Maria. The night went off well with the help of Mr InnesMills, Mr McAuley, and Mr Barber. In preparation for our graduation we have chosen certain hymns, prayers and readings. After many votes we came up with our favourites and we are now practising with Mr SantaMaria . . On behalf of the students of Year 7, I would like to thank Mrs Womer for making this year a success.

ITALIAN OUTING FOR YEAR 8 n the 17th of September , the Year 8 Italian students visited the Fremantle Italian Oub. When we arrived at the Oub everyone was very excited. We were allowed to play scopa (a card game), and bocce (bowls), both very traditional Italian pastimes. We were also encouraged to practise speaking our Italian with Italian people. First, we played bocce. The idea of this game is to see who can roll the ball closest to the jack. That was fun because we got a lot of help from the club members. Next, we played scopa. This is a very intense card game which everyone enjoyed. Finally, we came to the end of the excursion. Everyone was disappointed at leaving. It was a good day and everyone learned a great deal about two Italian games. It was also very good practice for our Italian. The excursion was part of the theme "Sport and Pastimes", which we covered in Term Three in the Italian classes. John Neesham

JAPANESE: A BONSAI LOOK
ITALIANTUCKFIELDSTREET
s trade with Japan becomes more and more important, many students have taken up the challenge and are learning Japanese at CBC. Starting at Year 8 the students learn how to both read and write. All Year 8's can write the first Japanese alphabet, Hiragana, which has 46 characters. This is quite an achievement. During the year the Year 8's have had a poster competition that produced impressive results and a Quiz Day that tested their knowledge about Japan to its limit. Students of all years also enjoyed trying several of the traditional Japanese arts of which origami (paper folding) is a perennial favourite. A Japanese exchange student spent a day with the Year lO's in Term 3 and was introduced to school life at CBC. In return we were given a fascinating lesson in the art of calligraphy using ancient ink and brush methods. A trip to Chunagon restaurant early in the year for the 10's provided another enjoyable glimpse at authentic Japanese culture. After learning all about Japanese cuisine the 9's, too, used their knowledge at a night of dining which provided them with food to suit all palates. The knowledge and skill that the language students show will continue to stand them in good stead and we look forward to a worthwhile and enjoyable year in 1993. Mr Parish
talian food has struck a chord with the Year 8 Italian students . At the end of Term One, Easter was celebrated with the traditional Easter cake (tort a colomba) and chinotto, an Italian soft drink. In Term Two, the students were shown how to make a Sicilian pastry, "cannoli". Both delicacies were enjoyed very much. Apart from the food, the year was highlighted by visits of two exchange students. Marco Casadei, who spent two months at Ellen Street, visited us one day and was besieged by questions from very enthusiastic students who wanted to know many things, from what Italian girls are like, to the activities of the Mafia in Italy. Riccardo Zampollo spent four weeks at Tuckfield Street to learn the English language. (One only hopes he learned the right words.) It was very enjoyable having Riccardo at the school as his presence added a certain flair to the Italian lessons. I think the boys are much richer for having had the experience of interacting with two "authentic" Italians. MrsNMcCann

JUNIOR PLAY ast term Mr Culver put together a play called "The Tuckfield Penal Colony". MrCulver asked one half of the Year 7 class to perform it. On Tuesday mornings, period two, in drama class, we practised it. With a lot of help from Miss Finch it was ready and performed in six weeks time. On Monday afternoons, we were taught four songs that were in the play by Mr Culver. The characters in the play were: Sergeant Major Womer (Jamie Memno), Sergeant Barber (N arrator - James Broome), Captain Finch (Matthew Seeney), and Captain Culver (Bradley Poore). The convicts included: Ben (Joel Duckworth), Jim (paul Schaper), Convict 1 (Henry Miller), Convict 2 (Chris Moreno), and Convict 3 (Ruffy Moreno). The play is about a bus load of convicts, who are bused to a dark dull place called the "TuckfieId Penal Colony". The worst thing about this place is the only way out or for any freedom at all is by graduation. The poor convicts have to put up with freezing cold showers, hard concrete floors for beds, the fresh salads and the pure mineral water for lunch from the tuckshop, the copious amounts of homework and school work, and the dreaded choir. One recess Jim, Ben and the rest of the convicts are talking of escape. They try and escape by making themselves sick, then . going to hospital and escaping from there . . But they don't even get past step one. Captains Culver and Finch get out the castor oil. So the convicts knew that the only definite way out was by graduation. When it comes graduation day a few of them said they would taste a bit offreedom then go to the free colony over at Ellen Street. The year sevens have performed the play several times. One performance was for the whole school and another for St Patrick's School and Our Lady of Fatima students . The last performance took place in King's Square on the 23rd of October.

MUSIC AT TUCKFIELD STREET s usual the music boys of Tuckfield St have been busy doing their very best to uphold the high musical standards that have been set over recent years at the Junior Campus. They are involved with quite a number of groups throughout the campus. We have the School Choir, Junior Band, Senior and Junior Guitar Ensembles. All have representatives from Tuckfield Street. In April the Junior Band and School Choir performed at the Music Luncheon and in May, the Junior Band performed in King's Square for Fremantle Day. Throughout this year, various ensembles have played and sung at the regular masses and assemblies held at Tuckfield St. All the Tuckfield St musicians made a first class contribution to our most successful School Music Festival held in the Fremantle Town Hall in June. The School Choir and Junior Band made an excellent contribution to an assembly at St Benedict's in August. The Senior Guitar Ensemble were given a rousing ovation after their performance in the Catholic Music Schools Festival at Trinity College. The heats for Tuckfield Talent Time have been run and the finalists will perform at Family Day in Term four. The School Choir along with both the Junior Band and the Jazz Orchestra will also be performing at Family Day. The Senior Guitar Ensemble will be performing at the "A Shed" later this year. Upcoming performances for Tuckfield St musicians are - The Musical Interlude, Orientation Day and Christmas Carols at Notre Dame University. The Junior Band are playing for the Stan Riley Centre. Grandparents Day. Children's' Week and the Fremantle Children's' Festival in the October/November period. I would like to pass on to the Families of these boys, who are such an active part of the school's life, and to the boys themselves, my sincere thanks and congratulations for the wonderful effort that has been made to keep the standard of music at the Junior Campus so high . The music staff must also be given a huge pat on the back for their efforts to produce performing musicians of a standard that is much higher than that which can be expected from boys of such tender years. I hope and pray that the "Bubble" will never burst and that we go from strength to strength in an effort to attain a hi gher goal. Mr Innes-Mills (Music Coordinator)

YEAR 5 CAMP REPORT , I
I
n Wednesday 19th of August Grade 5 went to camp. When we arrived we had the task of unloading. Then we had lunch . After that we got our military equipment and the fun started. Everything a boy could imagine was there. We built hutchies, got camouflaged , played games and best of all we got to build our own bases in the bush. The real highlights of our Manjadul Camp was the commando course and the bush mass. The commando course is a course with lots of obstacles and believe me, you'll keep showering in three years time . Don 't believe me, try it out yourself. The bush mass on the other hand was quieter. It was beautiful with the trees as the church walls and the birds as music. God bless Mr Santa Maria, Mr Austin and all the parents for making the camp a wonderful and exciting one. Christian Thompson

As I write this final item I have not yet seen the finished
yearbook that you now hold in your hands. I hope that you are pleased with it because it is a record of many of the exciting things that happened at CBC this year. Unfortunately not everything is recorded: I have had to leave some things out and I have made changes to others. That aside, there are many excellent stories, articles and photographs which have been included. The life and enthusiasm that they reflect is, I hope, what the magazine is most about. There are many things which I could not have achieved alone. The Acting Principal, Mr Sandri, had confidence enough in me to entrust me with this task; the new Principal, BrWedd, calmly approved my more ambitious plans and unobtrusively allowed me to achieve them. To both men I proffer my sincere thanks . I would like to thank Mr Colin Barns for his efforts in helping to produce this annual, as well as my student crew, Mark Bosnich, Gino Premici, David Anderson and Jason Judge. They can look with pride at the pages of this yearbook and know that their efforts are clearly there to be seen. This year we have had the services of a very talented graphic designer. Carol of ~s and her husband Des, have gone well beyond the normal commercial deal in the interest that they have shown and the help that they have extended to us . Finally, I must express my gratitude to staff and nonstaff contributors for their prompt cooperation in meeting deadlines. I must particularly mention the coordinating work done by Mrs Worner at Tuckfield St. At every stage I was made to feel that people had confidence in my judgement. I hope that this yearbook rewards this confidenye and that it will be something that every reader will value for its preservation of what was important in the school's life in 1992. Mr Brendan Mulvey
