· CHRISTIAN BROTHERS' COLLEGE

fj'earbool(1993 '



:From the Principa[ Christian Brothers' College Fremantle is a Catholic school inspired by Christ's call to growth in faith and shaped by the ideals of Edmund RiCe.

Over a thousand parents were asked what they wanted school to do for their children. Whether this question was asked in affluent suburbs, in disadvantaged areas, or in places of high ethnic density, the answers were consistent.

This school community is characterised by a strong sense of belonging and endeavours to provide

opportunities for total development of each person.

owards the end of a two day staff conference held in June, these words were written as an expression ofour Vision for this school. Early next year we hope to present this Statement of Vision to our parents for it is both an expression of how staff see this school now and a statement of direction for the future.

T

There is a sense of challenge in these words which are so plain and simple. What do parents look for when they are choosing a school for their son? All parents will want the best possible from school for their children; good results, good job prospects, sporting achievement, discipline, hardworking teachers, homework, manners . . . all leading to success. Schools emphasis all of these elements, but I notice that none of them are mentioned in that first sentence. The sentence says this school is - inspired by Christ's call to growth in faith, and - shaped by the ideals of Edmund Rice Are these words just another dose of old-fashioned highground rhetoric to be brought out and dusted down on ceremonial occasions? Perhaps in their heart of hearts, many people believe that the 'real world' is not like that: it's tough out there, it's a dog-eat-dog existence; kids - learn to be tough so that you can compete for your place. In this 'real world', many people know, money talks. People are measured by what they earn and real success is seen in terms of what we own and in the power we have over others.

Above all the basic skills that schools can develop, parents wanted schools to help their children to: - become people who can think for themselves - be self-confident in learning - be happy and well-behaved - solve problems - be caring and sensitive - be creative and imaginative Only when they had firmly established these qualities, did parents turn to what are called the 'basic skills'. Perhaps parents saw these qualities as leading in some way to a 'real world' that would be worth living in.

*

As you turn over the pages of this Yearbook, you will find reports and accounts of the many activities which have taken place this year, so I will not try to repeat them. I do however wish to acknowledge the contribution to College life of three significant groups of people. To the parents - the first, and usually the best, teachers our students will ever have - I express my appreciation for your support, encouragement and the help generously given. In particular, I express the College's appreciation to those who accept the responsibility and satisfaction of further involvement through the Parents and Friends Association, the Music Committee and the College Board. To the staff - who are all teachers, giving not only their knowledge and wisdom, but also their faith and their love. I express my appreciation for your unobtrusive and tireless commitment to the well-being of our students. On behalf of the College I express thanks for the wholehearted contribution to life here over many years by those members of the teaching staff who are leaving CBC: Mr A Dilollo, Mr B Doran, Mr R Innes-Mills, Mr J Mcintyre, Mr D Mitchell, Mr R Smith. We ask God's blessing on their continuing journey through life.

Sadly, in such a 'real world', the human dignity of each one of us is at risk, as are our human relationships along with any claims of wholeness and integrity. The values that dominate and set directions for society in this 'real world' are selfserving qualities. There is nb room for fostering co-operation, compassion or a sense of responsibility for others.

To the students -I express my appreciation, for they are the ones who make CBC what it is today.

In 1990, in Sydney, a simple yet extensive survey was conducted amongst parents of students in Catholic schools.

A

t the beginning of 1993 the School Board welcomed Dr Louise Calzada, Mr Peter Christie, Mr Fulvio Sammut and Mr Rob Milburn to replace outgoing members Mr Gus Irdi (retiring chairman), Mr Michael Cronin and Mrs Cassie Morin. The latter have given dedicated service to the Board over a number of years and their contribution is gratefully acknowledged. The new members join Dr Brian Lawrence (new chairman), Br Alan Wedd, Br Tony Shanahan, Mr Sandro Sandri, Mr Frank Schaper, Mr Ian Handcockand Mr Pat O'Connell to constitute the CBC School Board for 1993.

In March, a preliminary meeting was held to reconstitute the CBC Old Boys' Association. There were also initial steps taken towards developing a marketing plan to promote CBC and to attract new enrolments. March also saw the appointment of Mr Doug Thompson as the P&F representative on the Board.

'Budget Management

The major challenges facing the Board for 1993 were: - to make CBC Fremantle a financially viable school - to upgrade the school facilities

Over the year, strong emphasis was placed on reducing the budget deficit and a number of strategies were set in place to achieve this, including refinancing several loans to take advantage of lower interest rates. In May, the Board also appointed Mr Brian King on a part-time basis to assist in recovering outstanding school fees.

!Financia{ Management

Progress on l1pgraie Pfans

The first steps towards making the school financially viable and reducing the budget deficit were to appoint Mr Rob Devenish as the school's consultant accountant. His briefwas to examine the financial position of the school and to ensure that proper financial management controls and procedures were set in place. To assist him in this task, a finance committee was formed comprising Br Wedd, Mr Schaper, Mr Milburn and Mr O'Connell. The efforts ofthis committee in diligently managing the financial affairs of the school are appreciated.

The architect's initial drawings and the quantity surveyor's preliminary costings for refurbishing the Marshall Wing and Administration Block first floor classrooms were presented at a special Board meeting.

Cfia{{enges

Two officers from the Catholic Education Office (CEO) attended the July Board meeting to discuss the Capital Development Plan and the process of applying for funding . The CEO agreed that the refurbishing was a high priority need of the school and gave full support to the project including agreement to assist with debt servicing.

l1pgracÂŁing Of !Facifities

Mark!-ting and Promotions

To appreciate the extent of upgrading required at the school, the new Board personally visited every classroom and teaching area of the Ellen Street campus prior to theJanuary Board meeting. This proved to be an invaluable exercise, as the members then experienced first hand the substandard condition of many buildings, classrooms, furnishings and facilities in urgent need of upgrading.

The August meeting saw a concentration on the marketing and promotion of CBC and a working party was formed to develop plans and strategies to bring this about. Some of these strategies included updating the promotional video and embarking on an extensive advertising campaign .

In September Mr Bill Hughes, past student and patron of CBC Fremantle, agreed to contribute to scholarships for CBC students who are members of Fremantle Parish Choir. The Board welcomes his valuable contribution and thanks Mr Hughes for his continuing generous support.

In February, arrangements were made for architects from Silver, Thomas and Hanley to visit the Ellen Street campus, review the existing buildings and to recommend refurbishing needs. In conjunction with this task, a Capital Development Plan was prepared by Mr Sandri and members of the Board.

1994 'Budget

The month of October was a very busy and exciting month with the approval offunding to proceed with Stage One of the Capital Development Plan. This stage involves a $250,000 project to refurbish classrooms in the school's Marshall Wing and Administration Block.

In October the finance committee developed the 1994 budget which will be tabled at the November Board meeting for endorsement. With prudent financial management, plus a minor increase in school fees , a balanced budget for 1994 is anticipated.

Yl (jood Year! With the expected start of the refurbishment project towards the end of Term Four and an anticipated balanced budget at the end of 1993, the CBC School Board is proud to announce a very busy and successful year.

Parents and !Friends .9lssociation !Fundraising .9Lctivities

P

arent involvement is a feature at the school with many parents helping in activities around the school such as reading groups, coaching sports teams, canteen duties, book covering and working bees.

Annual book and calculator sales Secondhand book stall P&F levy No-bake cake stall Easter and Annual raffles Mothers' Day cake raffle and luncheon Annual dinner dance (Italian Club) School banking' commission (Commonwealth) Sales dockets

The strong sense of personal care for students is reflected in the commitment of parents to support the school and the P&F. All parents are members ofthe P&F and some come to be active members of the Association, participating in the regular monthly discussions. With other parents they undertake the activities and organise the events that help the school/parent relationship to function at an effective level, a task with mutual rewards.

With monies raised from these activities the school has been assisted with the purchase of such items as: - library equipment - display boards - floor coverings - protective swimwear - Eureka reading series - computers - library automation - assistance to the Music Committee for the Singapore trip

Numbers of members attending meetings on a regular basis are not large, however the various forms of support and contribution from the balance of the parents provides the major element in achieving overall effectiveness. This support is gratefully acknowledged. Parents, please remember you are invited and will always be welcomed if you are able to come along to the monthly get-together with other parents. The school can benefit from input from 'old' and 'new' parents alike.

All in all, the year has been a success, due to the significant efforts of the few and the assistance and general support of the many. Our thanks also to Br Wedd and staff for the co-operation shown during the year.

Brother Wedd presents his Principal's Report at each P&F meeting and this has been a highlight of proceedings. The opportunity to discuss current issues and provide input has been appreciated by all parents attending. Presentations and attendance by other members of staffis a welcome feature of meetings also.

On behalf of the parent body, I express my special thanks to this year's committees for their work and commitment. I also record our thanks to our late President, Margaret Piggott, whose untimely death earlier this year brought her devotion to the school ideals and her efforts for the P&F to such a sudden end.

The year's achievements included progress on discussion regarding uniforms, classroom and playground facilities , promotion of the school and constitution for the P&F body. Developing objectives and strategies for fundraising and the enhancement and facilitation of the school's parent community were just some of the matters advanced during the year.

O

n 2nd April this year in Rome, Pope John Paul II declared that after extensive investigation, Edmund Rice, founder of the Christian Brothers and the Presentation Brothers, had lived a life of heroic virtue. Edmund can now be honoured as the Venerable Edmund Rice. Already a miracle attributed to Edmund is being investigated so that . soon he may be honoured as Blessed Edmund, and eventually as a saint.

%e r.Brotliers Community J

E

arly in February, the community farewelled Brother Geoff Seaman after eight years living and working here at CBC. This year Brother is undertaking a year of spiritual renewal at the Pacific Mission Institute in Sydney prior to a new mission in 1994. On Pentecost Sunday, Brother Phillip McCarthy ended sixteen years of association with CBC, both as a teacher, and more recently as a mentor and friend . Brother McCarthy is now resident at Edmund House, Wembley for Senior Brothers. Both these men gave much to CBC and are missed.

t£amuna 9(ice Camps

In tlie Spirit of t£amuna

hese camps are an outreach of the Christian Brothers who sponsor both them and other activities for disadvantaged children here in Perth . Last summer fifty youngsters and over fifty leaders were involved in two Edmund Rice Camps. While direction comes from the Brothers, the energy and enthusiasm comes from leaders Year Twelves and post-school youth. Among the 1993 leaders were Anthony Oi Giacomo, Tyree Jackiewicz, John Nguyen and Ken Gavranich. These young men helped to create a friendly and fun-filled holiday for the young campers who are still talking about the Edmund Rice Camp experience.

T

he CBC community lost two generous and faithful supporters of its spirit during the year. Mr Frank Geers was College Maintenance Officer for five years. However, he also invested himself generously in many aspects ofCBC's life, especially in faith education programmes.

T

Frank was farewelled early in Term Two while at the end of term Mrs Olga Ellis formally ended her association with the Brothers, an association which began in 1947. In those days, lay teachers were uncommon and Olga fulfilled many roles in the school, often on an honorary basis. She gave of her self in a spirit of generosity and concern, and contributed much.

Any camp is as good as its meals. CBC's librarian, Mrs Trevanna Letitizia, was one of several co-workers who gave a week of their holidays to cook. Edmund's practical concern for the young is an integral part of life here at CBC.

Olga and Frank were primarily focussed on the students and their good , thus fostering Edmund 's spirit here at CBC.

BC students continued their fine tradition of supporting those from the Third World. During Lent over $1600 was raised for Project Compassion.

Money collected during the second semester will be forwarded to the Christian Brothers' mission school in the Sudan and to the orphanage run by the Christian Brothers in Calcutta, India. Funds will also be contributed to the Edmund Rice Camps here in Perth.

Also prepared at CBC and confirmed in their own parishes were Alfonso Della Maddalena, Paul Onoforo and Shaun Stevenson. David Kaczmarczyk of Year Six was prepared for and received the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. Three Year Eight students are undergoing preparation for Baptism next Easter.

Special Ministers of the tÂŁudiarist n the life of a school community there are many opportunities for students to be of service to others. A new dimension of service during 1993 has been the commissioning of six Year Twelve students as special ministers of the Eucharist.

9'ear 'Eleven cliristian Service Programme

These students were asked to deepen their commitment to the Eucharist by undertaking this ministry in the school community at the beginning of the year Mass, Ash Wednesday Mass, the Edmund Rice Day Mass and the Family Day Mass, as well as other smaller occasions.

n most Tuesday afternoons, a group of about a dozen students visit Foley Village in Hilton as part of the Christian Service Programme. The Year Elevens are involved in a variety of activities which provide enjoyment and a distraction for the residents. Snakes and Ladders, Bingo, balloon tennis, singalongs and wheelchair rides help to provide interaction between students and residents.

O

Training for this ministry took place during Term Four at CBC and at a combined training night with the Year Twelve special ministers from Trinity College. Our thanks to DavidAnderson, Travis Bienkowski, Aidan Casey, Adam Fitzgerald, Peter Leiba and Luke van der Zanden for their contributions.

For the boys it is an opportunity to learn new skills in relating with other people, as well as confronting some of the challenges experienced as part of ageing. The current Year Eleven students have all been part of the five week programme in either Year Ten or Year Eleven. The Christian Service programme adds an extra dimension to CBC's RE curriculum as it provides opportLInities for students to live the values they offer in formal RE classes.

!rounders 'Day

E

dmund Ignatius Rice was born in Callen, Ireland on the 1stJune 1762. From his youth he was a ompassionate person, and was deeply troubled by the poverty he saw. He was anointed by God to 'bring the Good News' to the poor. Founder's Day at CBC Fremantle is a time of remembering the life of Edmund Rice and the traditions ofCBC Fremantle.lt is the only time in the school year that all students ofTuckfield and Ellen Streets participate in the sharing of the Eucharist. The theme of the Mass was 'Anointing'. The Mass ceremony was a very prayerful occasion with many students participating in the making of banners (Art students), the Junior School choir in the singing, the readers (SRC) and all students joining in the singing at the Mass. To maintain the theme of'Anointing' - Chosen by God - as a school community, all students were invited to join in a games morning. These activities allowed students from Years Five to Twelve to mix together. Lunch was also a 'shared meal' when the Tuckfield Street students were invited to have lunch at Ellen Street. The SRC should be congratulated for the organising of these innovative activities. Thanks to the support ofthe teachers and students, the day was a success and has provided the opportunity for more innovative Founder's Day celebrations in the future .

is very much alive in the Christian Brothers. Each year, Edmund Rice Camps are run during the school holidays to give young boys an opportunity to have a free holiday. This is provided for children whose families are too poor to afford any holiday. The collection at the Family Day Mass resulted in a $1000 cheque being donated for the 1993 Edmund Rice Camp.

amily Day at CBC was celebrated on the 31 st October. The theme of the Mass was 'Breaking Bread'. It was symbolic of the early Christians who gathered together as a community to celebrate Christ's resurrection. The community of CBC parents, friends, students and staff were gathered in thanksgiving for the school year, for each other and for the many blessings received.

Our thanks must go to the class teachers and students who invented and provided many original ways offundraising, to the CBC musicians and bands who provided the entertainment, and finally to staff members Mrs Cooney and Mr Sandri who co-operated with Mrs Macri and other members of the P & F to make this Family Day a successful event.

A crowd of more than one thousand people joined in this celebration. This represented a large proportion of the CBC community. David Kaczmarczyk received his first Holy Communion on Family Day as part of the liturgical theme . Edmund Rice, founder of the Christian Brothers, went out to the poor in Waterford, Ireland in 1802.

:J--fead rBoys yraduation Speech onight's occasion marks the end ofa significant phase in the lives of sixty-four young men. No longer will we be seeing the same faces day after day, in the surroundings that have become so familiar over the years. The sense of security and routine that has sat so comfortably with us during our days at eBe will be gone. The challenges and adventures that lie ahead of us are keenly anticipated by most of us; but there is a twinge of sadness in us as well as the end of our time at eBe draws near.

T

Tonight also marks the beginning ofa new point in our lives, where we will try to evolve into independent and responsible adults, and where the knowledge and values that we have learned at eBe will be put into practice. That we have attained these is, of course, due to the people at eBe, in particular the teaching staff who have always been totally dedicated to their roles as educators and mentors. The tasks of a teacher are difficult ones even with, or perhaps especially with, our own group. But largely thanks to their patience and support, the student/teacher relationships in this senior class have been fruitful ones. I am sure I speak for every student in saying that we will always value the excellent teachers that we have had at eBe, and that we thank them all tremendously. Just as our teachers have played an important role in our growth, the love and support ofour parents has been invaluable during our years at school. A very special "thank you" is owed to them also. The fondest memories of my time at eBe are naturally those of my friends and fellow classmates. I can confidently consider every one of them as a friend, because oftheir accepting, loyal and honest natures, the qualities of any good friendship, and their unique sense of humour and fun, making them all a pleasure to be around. It will be the day to day association with them, as much as any of the special events, that Iwill miss the most. I would finally like to say that I will forever treasure my years at eBe for the inspir<!tion and understanding that I have received from the school and the people I have known here. I wish you all a happy and successful future.

Student !l\f-presentative Counci{

T

he Student Representative Council of 1993 was installed midway through Term One, our first meeting being held on the 24th February. Meetings were held every second Wednesday during the year. The Council comprised twenty members, including two teachers. Meetings were a little disorganised at first, due partly to my own inexperience as a councillor and chairman. Once settled, however, the SRC ran very smoothly and during the year we were able to introduce several initiatives.

the best contributors, the school only managed to obtain a VCR machine for Tuckfield Street. Hopefully this year's effort will be improved upon in 1994. An SRC representative , Year Eleven's Andrew O'Connell, is on the 1994 Centenary Committee. This committee is organising next year's celebrations of the 100 Year anniversary of the Christian Brothers in Western Australia. As a senior student in 1994, Andrew will be part of the celebrations towards which he has contributed.

The SRC was responsible for the reintroduction of Free Dress Days for fundraising purposes. Three were held this year, and were very successful. Causes included Danny Dwyer's trip to Slovakia to represent Australia in chess, Edmund Rice Camps, and Missions.

The SRC as a whole has also worked with other smaller schemes throughout the year, and I consider this year's group to have made a significant effort and contribution during 1993. This has been possible because of the support and co-operation within the Council and I would like to thank my deputy, Jason Judge; the other Year Twelve representatives who have served as secretaries over the year; and the rest of the SRC members for their work in 1993.

This year's Senior Class were again entitled to a special leaver's rugby top . Orders for these were made by the SRC through the co-operation of Mr Doran.

In particular, Mr Theseira and Mr Mcintyre have given up valuable time to be a part of the SRC in 1993.1 would also like to thank Br Wedd and Mr Sandri for allowing and helping the SRC to make the progress that it has this year.

The senior members of the SRC were this year responsible for the role of MC at school assemblies. Each Year Twelve representative had to opportunity to perform this duty, which also involved the preparation of agenda items and reports. The experience was a valuable one, and will hopefully be continued next year.

Iwish the SRC of1994 and all future Councils a productive and successful year.

For the first time CBC organised a Coles dockets collection. Unfortunately, despite the offering of canteen vouchers to

he aim of Amnesty International is to pressure governments into analysing their human rights records. This is done by writing letters to the governments concerned, letting them know that there are people throughout the world who are aware that they are violating basic human rights such as freedom of expression and choice, and the most basic of all rights, that of life. With the encouragement of Mrs Cooney, Amnesty has had strong support from those in Year Twelve. The focus of attention this year has been Colombia and numerous letters have been written to that country with the hope that it will release the political prisoners involved. One particular case dealt with groups in Colombia that are murdering street kids in order to curb street crime. Our Amnesty group wrote letters to the Colombian government, which has in the past pledged to support the street kids, to urge them to look into this frightening matter. We can but hope that the government takes the appropriate steps to halt this violence.

To raise money for our cause, a cake stall was held after the Founder's Day Mass. There were hundreds of hungry students willing to buy, the canteen was closed, and as a result the stall was a stunning success.

O

nce again, 1993 was a big year for our strong YCS group. Our group grew considerably in number this year which was great to see . .

To celebrate a great year's work a combined Amnesty/SUDPI YCS camp was held on the 24th and 25th of September at New Norcia. It was a most enjoyable stay, with highlights being a special tour of the monastery and the perennial favourite, the lantern stalk.

As is our tradition, we once again conducted our annual Easter raffle with some strong competition from the P&F. We did very well, and a generous donation went towards our school mission effort. The YCS, with the help of some of the Mums, sold off sherbets, toffees and other sweets to once again help raise funds, this time for the YCS office in Perth.

The Amnesty International group would like to thank Mrs Cooney for her dedication to her task as group co-ordinator. Her time and thoughtful effort have been appreciated.

Our easygoing bunch of YCSers also showed support for the river cruises, camps and regionals held throughout the year, but when it came down to SEEING,JUDGING and ACTING, our close knit group got serious and tackled any problems that any group member had.

Mark Bosnich

Many thanks must go to Miss Bombara, who for the second year now has helped us out as assistant. To the members, thank you for your commitment and for being a part ofYCS at CBC. I suppose it is fitting to say that, being such an important year for the Year Twelves, it was great to see that their enthusiasm and support helped the YCS enjoy another memorable year in 1993.

uring the last week of Term One, from the 6th to the 9th of April, the Year Twelve students were divided into two groups. One group went to York and the other to Jarrahdale for the annual Year Twelve camplworkshop.

The aim ofthese camps was to find out something more about ourselves and each other. Students and teachers actively participated in developing self expressive skills through such activities as collage, confrontation, active listening and affirmation. The camps ran over three days, and each day had a morning, afternoon and evening session in which activities were scheduled. One of the recreational highlights of the camps was the lantern stalk. Each evening thirty or forty teenagers went roaming into the bush to find the lantern. Some only managed to run into trees or stumps.

On the final night both groups had a Mass at their respective locations. After the Mass the students had free time and

On the whole, we came out of the camp experience with a better understanding of ourselves and each other. Our relationships with both the other students and with our teachers were strengthened. Finally, on behalf of the 1993 Year Twelves I would like to say thank you to all those involved in the organisation of this year's camp.

uring the week of 6th to 10th September 1993, Catholic Education organised an art exhibition in the foyer of the R&I Tower in St George's Terrace. The work of four Year Twelve students from CBC was chosen for the exhibition. The students were Ryan Jansen, Stephen Jurica, Peter Leiba and Bill Carrigan whose exhibits provided examples of painting, graphic design and drawing.

After many weeks of negotiations, we decided to have a small tuck shop located at the Catering Room. Everything we sold was made fresh and produced by the students in the class.

Creations, and worked out the details of the kind of packaging appropriate for serving the products. Every student was somehow involved with the production, sales and consumption (!) of the products. We all gained useful knowledge of starting a business, and of maintaining it so that hopefully it would run at a profit.

After vigorous brainstorming sessions and a survey of the entire student body as to what they would want to buy, we decided to make a range of easy foods, including chocolate chip cookies, pizza, brownies, peanut butter cookies, coconut cookies and lasagne.

We went into the business with the knowledge that it wouldn't matter whether the business succeeded or failed, but we were lucky. The food was good and sold well. Catering Baked Creations ran at a financial profit, which meant the money we raised went back into the Catering Room to purchase small items.

Also in the brainstorming sessions we came up with a name, calling ourselves Catering Baked

Wor{d Junior and'Youth Chess Championships ,' ,

rom 10th July 10th to 2nd August 1993 I travelled overseas, initially to perform with the Christian Brothers' College Fremantle Jazz Orchestra in Singapore but mainly to participate in the Under 16 Boys Division of the 1993 WoridJunior and Youth Chess Championships in the Slovakian capital of Bratislava. The other Australians playing in the championships (but in different divisions) were Ry Curtis NSW (U;18),Joel McDonald, Vic (UM), and Toby Hopf, Qld (U;12), and we were ably accompanied by Toby's father, Michael, who went as Australia's Team Manager.

F

I travelled alone from Singapore to Vienna , where I met the other Australian players. We stayed in Vienna for about two da~s, in the Hotel Royal which is directly in front of the enormous St Stephen's Cathedral. While in Vienna I went on the Prater Wheel, the biggest ferris wheel in the world and also visited Schonbrunn Palace, home to many emperors. My attempts at speaking German lacked the Austrian accent, but I was still able to make myself understood, especially as many people spoke fluent English anyway! OnJuly 16th we made our way to Bratislava via Vienna Airport. The problem of paying a US$IO per person fee for travelling on the bus with other chess competitors was soon overcome as I temporarily lost my travellers cheques and was the very last to board. In the confusion, they forgot to charge us the fee! The one hour trip soon became a three hour nightmare when we were kept at the border for two hours for passport and visa checks. When we finally made it to the chess venue and were each accredited, we found we each had to pay US$35 to stay at the hotel that night because the tournament wasn't starting until July 18th!! It was a day to remember, as it was also my 16th birthday.

I'

The next three rounds were not good rounds for me as I lost them all, and then drew my final two rounds, probably due to a severely damaged confidence. I was eventually placed 55th, a disappointing result. I felt I had missed opportunities to seize the initiative, and need to develop keener strategic ability before again participating in a similar event. I was slightly heartened however, as my result was the second-best of the Australian players.

In my division in the championships, there were seventy-five players, twenty-nine of whom had ElO ratings. Three players were international masters and six were FIDE masters. The top-ranked player was only fourteen but is ranked in the top 100 players in the world. In the first round I was paired against a French player..It was an awesome task, in view of the reputation of the French players . However, after nearly five hours, I emerged the victor. Although I lost the next game to a Scottish player, I managed to draw the third round against a highly-ranked French player.

A number of well-known grandmasters visited the tournament, including Anatoly Karpov, who visited on the last day. The cultural differences can only be described as extreme, but I enjoyed the experience of playing at an internationallevel, and recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity. I would like to thank all those who contributed to the fundraising and organising, especially the students, staff and parents of CBC Fremantle.

After a relatively easy win in Round Four, I was' placed in the top 30 and found myself against a player from Georgia (the former Soviet Union) who was ranked seventh. As expected, I lost this game, but won the final round before the free day after a six hour marathon against Martin Senfffrom Germany.

Music Committee

T

his year has been a most rewarding one for the Music Committee. All the fund raising activities held during the year were well supported. The Music Luncheon, which begins our musical calendar, was held at the Junior School campus to welcome new parents to the Music Programme. It was a most successful event. The Junior Band, with Mr Anning as Director, and the Choir, under the direction ofMr Culver, displayed their musical talents admirably, The Music Festival in June at the Fremantle Town Hall- our biggest fund raiser - was well supported by the parents who I'm sure felt most proud of the sons' performances on stage.

At the time of writing, the Carols by Candlelight is still under discussion and yet to be confirmed. The Music Committee is very proud to have purchased two flutes to the value of $600, one trumpet valued at $150, computer software and music scores. Over $2000 has been spent updating the Music Programme. The Committee has also started a Tour Account to enable bands to undertake trips in the coming years. Sincere thanks is extended to Br Wedd, Mr Sandri, Mr Stengel - the Head of the Music Department, Mr Innes-Mills, Mr Culver, Mr Anning and Mr Niyazov. Special thanks go to Ms Sana who was Tour Manager for the Singapore Tour and also to Mr Mancuso, whose help and support while filling in for Mr Stengel and during the Singapore Tour is greatly appreciated.

The highlight of the year was the Singapore tour by the Jazz Orchestra in July. The students performed at the Raffles Hotel, Sentosa Island, the Public Utilities Board and St Patrick's School. All their performances were very well received and the boys did themselves and the school proud.

We would also like to thank the P&F Committee for their continued support and appreciation of the Music Committee's endeavours.

This year, theJazz Orchestra performed on Sunday only at the York Jazz Fair. Their performances received enthusiastic applause from the many music fans.

I would like to encourage all Music Parents to take an active and committed interest in the Committee. The Music Programme needs the help and support ofall Music Parents for its continued success.

The Musical Interlude held in October was a most relaxing and enjoyable evening with good music, good food and drink and very good company. We farewelled the Fitzgerald family and thanked them for all their years ofloyal support and help.

n Sunday 3rd October at 7:30am we departed on our annual pilgrimage to York to perform at the 11th WA Jazz Festival. We arrived at York at 1O:00am to find out that our performances had been rescheduled. After confirming new venues and times, we set up in the courtyard ofthe Castle Hotel which proved to be an excellent location.

Mr Stengel

The CBC Jazz Orchestra performed at lunchtime for one hour to a full house. The response of the audience was fantastic, which inspired the boys to play at their best. The owner of the venue was so impressed that he immediately booked the Band again for next year. After two encores, we joined the general crowd, seized the opportunity to listen to numerous other jazz groups and lapped up the lively carnival atmosphere of the YorkJazz Festival, of which the CBC Jazz Orchestra has now become an integral part. At approximately 4:00pm we set up in front of the Imperial Hotel for our second concert of the day. Once again the crowds enjoyed the music of the Jazz Orchestra so much that they kept asking for encores. After a bite to eat, we once more listened to other jazz bands before

T

he annual CBC Music Festival at the glamorous Fremantle Town Hall has become our single biggest fundraising event for the Music Department. This year it was held on Friday 25th June. An audience in excess offour hundred people were entertained by over 120 CBC music students, including the Junior Choir, theJunior Band, the Project Band and theJazz Orchestra, plus various ensembles and soloists. For the CBCJazz Orchestra it was a perfect dress rehearsal for their trip to Singapore which took place the following week.

If success can be measured by the number of people that attended the concert, by applause or by funds raised, this event can truly be labelled a 'great success'. It is always a monumental task to stage such an event and thanks have to go to our enthusiastic Music Committee and the volunteer staff who worked so hard behind the scenes.

The Festival was opened by His Worship the Mayor of Fremantle, Mr John Cattalini, who has been a staunch supporter of the CBC Music Programme for many years. The MC for the evening was Mr Jim Fitzgerald, During intermission, the audience was treated to a spectacular selection of food and drink prepared by the Music Parents' Committee, led enthusiastically by Mrs Ruby Santos.

On behalf of the Music Department, I would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone involved with the organisation of the CBC Music Festival. Mr Stengel

rrhe Jazz Orchestra rrour ofSingapore

T

of the hotel, much to the delight of those passing by. One elderly couple wanted to know where else we would be playing as they were going to follow us around!!

he preparation for the CBC's first international tour started early in 1992. With fund raising efforts supported by a large number ofCBC families, especially the music parents, and a substantial grant from the Public Education Endowment Trust, the Jazz Orchestra prepared to tour Singapore, playing four separate performances between the 10th and 16th of July.

Between performances and rehearsals, the boys toured around Singapore. They visited the Singapore Zoo, the Science Centre and the Guinness World Book Hall of Fame. They were dragged out of bed at 5:45am one morning to visit the Wet Markets which sells live doves, toads, fish, snakes, turtles and crabs, as well as pigs' heads, chickens' feet, livers, spleens, tongues and other body parts.

The day after we arrived, the boys played at the ferry terminal on Sentosa Island, which is the tourist mecca of Singapore. The crowd was quite large, and a number of tourists filmed the boys in action.

On the last night, we took a harbour cruise, visiting some outlying islands and passing the enormous shipyards. The boys also attended a rehearsal by the St Patrick's College Military Band (all 113 of them). There was quite a bit of free time, during which serious shopping expeditions were undertaken - CD Walkmans, tennis racquets, Doc Martens, CDs and clothes being amongst the best buys.

On Monday, the band performed for the afternoon session of St Patrick's College in front of about six hundred boys. St Patrick's toured Perth in 1988 and were hosted by CBC. They were very pleased to be able to return the favour. Tuesday saw the boys perform in an auditorium at the Public Utilities Board (similar to our SECWA) and although the audience was quite small, consisting simply of workers on their lunch break, they were very appreciative of the boys' work. These performances throughout the week were the lead up for the final performance of the tour, which was at the Raffles Hotel. The boys played three long brackets in the courtyard

Congratulations must go to all the boys on the Jazz Orchestra Tour, both for their fine musical efforts, and for their excellent example as ambassadors for CBC Fremantle. Hopefully, this tour is the first of many. Ms Bana

The social can be described as nothing less than a resounding success and there are many people to thank for this. Special thanks must go to the Year Eleven student body for generating the idea, the Year Eleven SRC for organising the event and to Mr McNamee, the Year Eleven Co-ordinator, who had the task of contacting the various schools, printing the tickets, hiring the DJ and overseeing the final stages ofthe event to ensure that it ran smoothly and enjoyably for all.

uring 1993 we decided to try a different sort of camp with the Year Elevens. This took a lot of organising and setting up and would not have been possible without the help and support of the Year Eleven form teachers, particularly Miss Bombara. 11M, 11E and 11B had four days at Logue Brook where the boys catered for themselves (some not too well!!) and participated in a range of outdoor activities. The feedback from the students was very positive, and most ofthem have good memories of Logue Brook. I think the teachers have mixed memories!

Both groups caught the Rottnest ferry from Rous Head at 10:45am. We arrived at Rottnest at about 11 :30am, settling

Over the three day period we took part in many activities, including a trip to the Museum, a Eucharistic celebration, a lantern stalk, a tour of the guns and a ride to the West End. Many found this ride hard going, while others enjoyed it. We also went for a run each day with Mr Preshaw leading the way. We were fortunate enough to be given much free time, which the students devoted to bike riding, swimming and fishing. Before we knew it, it was time to pack up and leave. We arrived back at Rous Head at about 3:45pm. Special thanks to Mr Rose'meye r and his fellow teachers who organised a very enjoyable camp.

n Wednesday 10th and Thursday t lth of November, ninety-six Year Ten students participated in the English Speaking Board's Examination. Each student had to memorize a poem, read aloud a passage from a book and prepare a speech on a subject that interested him . The speeches varied from basketball, rugby, soccer and horseriding to the opera, McDonalds, Harley Davidsons and timber. We delivered our material in front of an audience which included an examiner from the Board. Throughout the fifteen minutes allocated to each student, the examiner asked questions about each piece presented. Examiners assessed us on our clarity of diction and our intelligent responses . There were three venues and four examiners over the two days. The examiners were impressed with our performances, neat appearance , polite manners and punctuality. The results were very pleasing, with a distinction being awarded to Dario Dalla Costa. There were also fifteen Credits and forty-nine Very Good Passes. The Year Ten students would like to thank our English teachers, Ms Finch, Mr Rose'meyer and Mrs Posner who prepared us so thoroughly for this examination.

The week appeared to have varying degrees of success, with some boys being a little bored with their choice of placement and others surprising themselves with their accomplishments. As happens most years, there were a couple of boys who were offered part-time employment by their employer because of their excellent work whilst on Work Experience.

Michael Wolfenden,Jonathan Broome, Timothy Odgers and Adriano Lo Conte represented CBC outstandingly. Their efforts placed them second overall. The boys received a special Certificate of Merit at a school assembly for their efforts. Mr Cole

Congratulations to all of the Year Ten boys on their handling of the Work Experience week, and thanks to all of the staff who visited the boys at their various jobs. Mr DiLollo

Students Write . .. Love, 'Death and 'Deception

"I'll do itfor fifty grand." What was I doing? I didn't need this case. She wouldn't pay that much anyway, I thought.

Iwelcomed the warmth ofthe restaurant gladly as I came in from the freezing cold night are which had been cutting through my overcoat like a knife. A waiter led me to a small table for two, where a woman sat. I sat opposite her and shook her hand . She was strikingly attractive. Her honey-coloured hair flowed over her shoulders and her eyes were a sparkling green. She had a perfect complexion: smooth and tanned, and it was obv;i . us from the tight revealing dress she was wearing that she ewt in shape. She could easily have passed for a model.

"OK, Mr Reeves. I'll five you twenty-five thousand now and the rest after the job's done," she replied. I shook her hand and left. I told her to meet me in my office the next day to work out the details. I hoped I was making the right decision. I found it difficult to sleep that night. Ididn'tthink she was telling me the truth about why she wanted me to fake her death, there see ed more to it than that. Besides, where would she get all at m ' ney from.

The way she was talking on the phone the night be OTe had suggested this was going to be something out of the ordinary. I had already decided before I had arrived at the restaurant tha I wouldn't take the job. I was getting too old to flirt with danger,. I was looking forward to retiring at about forty-five and growing some tomatoes and spending lots of time at the beach .

...,--

"Mr Reeves, I need your help," she said i l5usiness-like tone. At this point I would have done anything for her, besides, I liked a lady who got straight to the point. I closed the paper and motioned her to take a seat. I offered her a coffee but she declined. Then she put $25,000 in cash on the table in front of me. I couldn't decide whether to tell her what I knew. Her face did not change expression the whole time I was talking. After I had said alii had to say she whispered softly,

"Call me Dan," I said. "What can I do for you?" She looked me up and down for a few awkward moments as if she was having second thoughts about what she was going to ask me, but then it came out. "I want you to kill me," she said quite simply.

"I suppose you think I did it, don't you?" "You what!!" "I don't know what to think. Did you kill him?" "Well, not exactly kill me, but fake my death," she said. She explained that her husband used to beat her up so she told him she wanted a divorce. He said that ifshe tried to divorce him he'd kill her, so she wanted him to think she was already dead

She started to cry and in between sobs she said, "No, I didn't, but I know who did. My father. He's gone crazy. I was in the room when he did it, shot my husband that is. He said that ifI ever told anyone he'd kill me too."

All my detective instincts were telling me not to take this case, that I should get up and walk out, when I heard myself say,

Students Write . .. Mission: !l\.escue pQ'W

Suddenly my office door splintered into millions of pieces and in walked a middle-aged man holding a double-barrelled shotgun. I didn't need three guesses to realise it was Kim's dad. "I knew you couldn't be trusted Kim; and now you and your boyfriend here are going to die."

The year is 1968 and the major global issue is the Vietnam War. An airborne commando platoon has been assigned to a top secret mission to rescue some desperate POWs who are on the verge of death. The five soldiers assigned to the mission are Joe Ramo, Bill O'Neil, Frank Stevens, Brian More and Peter Hugo . This story is told from the eyes of Frank Stevens, one ofthe three survivors from the platoon.

Ileaptto my feet and hurled my coffee into his face . he staggered and I kicked the shotgun from his hand. I punched him in the stomach and followed with a right hook to the face, knocking him out cold.

Grade Four was different, it was this year that led me to believe my true selfwas that ofa sports star. I believed in having a joyous life. And all this at the tender age of nine.

We stormed a wall and invaded quietly. We got all the POWs out without any hassle. But some were too weak to climb the wall so we needed to gain access to a door. We realised that we had lost the darkness of the night as our cover. The eastern sun was already rising and we had to hurry. By distracting the guards at the door we quickly instructed the remaining POWs to follow the track to where the bomber would pick us up at 0800 hours. As we were all running a guard hit Peter Hugo in the leg, and Bill O'Neil went to help him. I kept on running and I looked back to see them both on the floor dead.

When I turned thirteen I knew I was big, I didn't have to dream it any more. But with big came work and I didn't like it. And all this at the tender age of thirteen. I'm old now I'm fifteen and I realise life is none of those things I've previously mentioned. Life is what I can make of it.· And make of it I shall.

We finally boarded the bomber and our mission was complete, but in the process we had lost two good soldiers - an old skilled veteran and a young boy with his whole life ahead of him ...

!Fairbncfge Camp

F

ortheir camp this year all Year Nines went to Fairbridge Village in Pinjarra. Accommodation was in cottages in groups of twelve or thirteen with a teacher in each cottage. Students were supplied with food for the week on the first day and were expected to do their own cooking. This proved to be an interesting lesson in budgeting for some groups who found that they had run out of Milo or cereal by the third day. Most groups found that their rosters for duties in the cottages worked well, with everyone having a turn at cooking and washing up. Activities that were enjoyed by the students included water skiing, archery, a visit to Farm World, canoeing, a visit to Athlone Goat Farm, surfing or swimming at the beach, roller skating and playing sport against the students at Pinjarra High School. The sport day once again proved to be one of the highlights of the camp. Sports played included basketball, volleyball , cricket and softball. Ms Bana organised a paraliturgy in the beautiful chapel at Fairbridge which was another highlight of the week.

Each evening we gathered after dinner for an activity. These included a quiz night organised by Ms Bana, a lantern stalk organised by Mr Barns, a games night organised by Miss Dutton and Miss Ivankovich and orienteering with a Mr Mitchell twist. After the evening activity we went back to our cottages to have supper and play quiet board games or try to win lollies from the teachers at cards. Students also enjoyed a considerable amount of free time, during which they could play basketball or tennis, swim in the pool or have quieter times reading or relaxing. It was a great opportunity to get to know other students who you may not normally mix with at school, and also to get to know the teachers out of the classroom. I'm sure that many friendships were made or enhanced.

n the 11th june and 3rd September, the Year Nines held socials with lona and Santa Maria. The venue for both socials was the East Fremantle Parish Hall. During the lead up to the lona social spirits were high as all were looking forward to an enjoyable night. The event began slowly at 7:30pm, but picked up pace by about 8:00pm once a few people began dancing. Everyone had a great night. The Santa Maria social was similarly eagerly awaited. This was also slow to get moving. However, everyone got into it once Gavin Williams and partner hit the floor. Later in the evening there was an Elvis impersonation contest won by Paul Spiccia. Special thanks for helping to make the socials such successes must go to Miss Fowler, Ms Bana, Miss Dutton, Miss Ivankovich, Mr

his year's japanese classes have been quite challenging as we learned the secondjapanese alphabet, Katakana, which has forty-six characters, and also undertook an introduction to Kanji, the Chinese alphabet. During the year, we learned how to write our names in Katakana, and held a class family tree poster competition. We also studied the art of origami, or paper folding, and learned about a number of japanese festivals including the festival of Moon Viewing. In Term Three, Mr Parish arranged for us to meet japanese exchange students. Each of us spent a half day with one student, showing them around the school and sharing our usual classes with them .

n Friday 13th August, the Year Ni ne Italian class left for an outing organised by Mrs McCann and t he Santa Maria Italian teacher, Mrs Lewis.

Leading up to this outing, we had been exchanging letters with the Santa Maria girls for two terms. This excursion involved socialising with the Year Nine Italian class from Santa Maria at Rossini's Caffi in Fremantle. Whilst mingling with the Santa Maria girls, we were allowed to buy a meal or a snack. However, most students were not hungry as we had eaten lunch just before we left. The afternoon was a success and most people enjoyed themselves.

ur College has mainly concentrated its efforts in recycling paper - something which has been very successfully in operation for the past four years . Tentative attempts have been made with other materials like aluminium cans and plastics with varying degrees of success. Recently, Mr Williams has approached Fremantle City Council to obtain some recycling bags - this should widen the school's range of recyclable materials.

The main aim of the school's recycling program is to increase the students' awareness of the benefits of recycling - anything from old clothes to apple cores (yES INDEED! Why not have a compost tumbler in the school?). Please contact Mr Williams or myself with any ideas about recycling. Come on everyone, lets make CBC Fremantle THE recycling school of the West.

n Wednesday 10th November, the students of Year Eight went to Point Peron for a three day camp. Once the bus was packed, we started our journey to the campsite. When we reached the campsite we unloaded the bus and ate our lunch. After lunch we got ready for our afternoon activities. Half of us went to Cables Water Ski Park and the other half went to Brownes which is used for horseriding. We spent approximately two hours at each location. When we came back, we had free time. During this time, people went bush-walking, exploring or played basketball. That evening, halfof us stayed at camp for a games night while the other half went fishing. We only caught a few fish. In the morning we were all up at 6:30am doing aerobics! After breakfast, Years 8A and 8B caught a ferry to Penguin Island. Years 8C and 80 went to Caddie Club in Rockingham to play mini-golf. At approximately 12:30pm the mini-golfers caught a ferry to Penguin Island to join the other classes for lunch and the completion of a worksheet. On our second evening in camp we held a quiz night. There were plenty of prizes and most of us enjoyed it. Later that evening we watched a movie called Encino Man.

Most of the next morning was spent in our dorms cleaning up . Once all of the dorms had passed an inspection, there was time to watch the movie BuftY the Vampire Slayer. We arrived on the bus at CBC at about 2:00pm after a most enjoyable camp. Thanks to all the teachers and parents involved in the organisation.

n August, Year Five journeyed to Manjedal Scout Camp. When we arrived there we unloaded the bus and put all our bags in the dormitory. Then we set off to play. We had several games from which to choose including cricket and hand te nnis. In the afternoon we went on an interesting nature walk with Mr Sta Maria , The day was soon over and everyone had had fun. The highlight of our second day was the Commando Course, which everyone enjoyed . It took all of the afternoon. The bush was where you could find us all. It had many things to do, so we spent most of our day there. For tea, Mrs Faria prepared meals no-one could say "no" to.

ear Seven was given a Social Studies assignment to be completed over a six week period. It involved making a Thai village including a few stilt houses, a Buddhist temple, a local school and a suitable ground.

Y

Groups of not more than five were negotiated and the project was underway. The most popular materials used were various types of wood and cardboard. All students enjoyed the activity and the results were displayed on Family Day.

The camp was tiring and some were homesick, but all enjoyed it. We found it nice to be with our friends and even with those we didn't like. The camp made us realise that the bush needs to be looked after and not damaged.

he CBC Fremantle Chess Team played remarkably well this year to achieve their best result to date in the A division of the Secondary Interschool Chess Competition. The team remained undefeated until the grand final. There were victories against Leeming A, Kelmscott A, All Saints A, Aquinas A and Wesley B in the preliminary rounds, with team draws against Trinity A and Ursula Frayne A. We finished at the top of the South of the River zone ladder, thereby playing the top teams from north of the river in the final rounds. In the semi-final we beat Scotch B by the convincing margin of 3.5-1.5 and we were feeling confident of a win in the overall competition. But it was not to be, and we lost 3-2 against John Forrest A, a team which has achieved good results over many years,

Throughout the year the Chess team played about ten games against Primary teams in the South of the River area . We won some games and lost others, but we enjoyed playing so many different opponents and visiting so many schools. In June a team offour - James Paratore, Michael Clapsis, Michal Remisz and Warren Quintal - went to Bunbury to compete in the Junior School Heads' Association competition. This was held at Bunbury Grammar School. The whole team enjoyed themselves thoroughly in Bunbury as we played chess in ten minute games for a whole day.

Next came a performance at Phoenix Shopping Centre, where we attracted a large crowd, including Mrs C1apsis' Year Four class from nearby Phoenix Primary School. We also played in Kings Square, Fremantle for Catholic Education Week, a performance that had been cancelled two weeks earlier owing to bad weather.

he junior Band consists of primary school music students from the Tuckfield Street campus. In the band at the moment there are seven trumpets, five saxophones, two trombones , two clarinets, three guitars, two bass guitars, two drums, three keyboards and a partridge in a pear tree! In 1993 the band has developed into a very dedicated and competent ensemble. The boys have shown a great deal of enthusiasm and are keen to learn new material.

At the time of writing, we are yet to perform to the National Primary Education Conference at Notre Dame University to round outTerm Three. In Term Four we have a busy schedule including Grandparents' Day at Tuckfield Street on the 27th October, a performance at Garden City on the evening of the 28th October and Family Day on Sunday 31 st October. In November we play at Nazareth House on the 2nd, St Vincent's Primary School on the 19th and finish off the year's concerts at the Woolstores Shopping Centre in Fremantle on Friday 3rd December.

After rehearsing vigorously for five weeks, the band's debut performance for 1993 was at the Music Luncheon held atTuckfield Street on the second last week of Term One. The boys performed admirably given the relative inexperience of many of the band members (less than twelve months) . The next concert, in Term Two, was the CBC Music Festival at the Fremantle Town Hall, along with the other bands and various ensembles.

As a result of our excellent performance at Bullcreek, we have been invited to embark on our first overseas trip! The Rottnest Island Community have asked us to play at the Rottnest Island Festival in March 1994, along with Crowded House and other luminaries (WOW!).

This was followed closely by a performance at Bullcreek Shopping Centre, where the boys were amply rewarded with a free icecream (or two!) , and a lunch time concert with the choir for the Australian Society of Music Educators' Conference at UWA.

Thejunior Band is now at its peak, Term Three kicked off with a Jordan Kelly at the eBe Music Festival and many thanks must go the concert at La Plaza Shopping parents, the school administration, the boys themselves for Centre, Bentley and then probably the highlight of the yearall their hard work and, in particular, Mr Rex Innes-Mills for the junior Schools Heads' Association Music Festival at the his tremendous support for my work with the band.

n Term One of this year, a group of Year Nine and Year Ten students represented the school atACC tennis. Again this year I had the difficult task each week of picking a team of eight players out of the many students who were eager to represent the school. The eight players were each paired and each pair ranked in a suitable order. The games were played on a Thursday afternoon and the competition ran for eight weeks. Some games were at home (Fremantle Tennis Club) and some were away at another school. The other schools that participated in the competition were Kolbe, All Saints and Seton. The format of each week was that the four pairs played as many games as they could in the allotted hour. The pair with the most games in BA CK ROW: Chris Brown, Matthew Patroni, Alex Foster, Brett Carter, M s R Dutton their favour were the winners. The school with FRONT ROW: Adam Grinse", Alessandro Luciali, Paul Valente, Stefan Murphy, lames Farrar, Greg Barker the most matches out of the four was declared the winning school. If the numbers were tied, then the numbers of winning games were used to decided the Congratulations must go to all the boys who gave up their winning school. time to represent the school in such an outstanding fashion. The exceptional no-loss record is something for all team All students who played for the team contributed well. members to be very proud of; but the exceptional enthusiasm, The competition was at times fierce, but we had strong sportsmanship, and commitment also contributed to making combinations and a lot of experience on which to draw. 1993 a successful and enjoyable season for all involved.

Overall, the team of Gavin Williams, Mario Peca, Richard Cavilli, Greg Barker, Lawrie Pettman and Alex Lucioli think it was a successful year. We would especially like to thank Mr Purcell for driving us to our destination each week and for supplying lots of encouragement.

We did extremely well in an Under 16 competition, as most of our team's competitors were two years older than us. Overall we came fourth , with Santa Maria moving on to play the final rounds against winners from other divisions.

BC had another successful season in the Coca Cola High Schools Classics, before an injury depleted team succumbed to a much taller Guildford Grammar in a hard-fought game in the quarter finals of the tournament. After going through our regional games undefeated, we played two excellent games in the tournament before our quarter final loss. Led by Dean Hart and Stephenjurica, who were both named to the Southern Region All-Star team, and well supported by Glen Bailey, Travis Bienkowski, Richard Travia, David Anderson, Daniele Salerno and the rest of the squad, we looked to have our best team since 1990. Tough full court man-to-man defence and hard work were the trade marks of this team, and every member of the squad must be congratulated for the excellent effort that they put in over the course of the season.

his year table tennis was reintroduced to the school as a lunchtime option after a break of some ten years! Perhaps because of its novelty, the first day of its introduction saw some forty students lining up outside the hall for the sixteen places offered by the four tables available. Those students who were very keen on being selected would use very creative excuses to get inside the hall. ''I'm only going to watch," said quite a few with a Bart Simpson smile. Others tried out well-worn lines from old lV advertisements like, "But I use a deodorant," to some effect. But all in all, table tennis is here to stay for a long time , given the interest it has generated. Many thanks must also go to the Year Nine boys who regularly help with the installation and dismantling of the gear before and after the games. Mr Hortense

Each week a one hour game was played and the result used to formulate a ladder. At the end of the season, CBC was second, having been beaten once by a very determined Corpus Christi team.

n Term One of this year, a group ofYear Nine and Year Ten students represented the school at ACC hockey. Again I had the difficult task each week of picking a team from the many students eager to represent the school. The twelve players were notified by a team list on the sports notice board (occasionally causing problems for those Year Tens who forgot to look!).

The CBC boys combined well as a team each week, with some aggressive play in the forward line being rewarded with a number of memorable goals. In particular there were some excellent plays by Kieron Lawlor and Justin Golding, and outstanding play on the wing by Leighton Stone.

The games were played on Thursday afternoons and the competition ran for eight weeks. Games were either played at home on Stevens Reserve, or as away games at Kolbe, All Saints, Corpus Christi or Seton, who were the other schools in the competition.

The defence also contributed to our success with determined defenders always managing to keep the opposition scoring to a minimum. A special mention must be made of Stefan Murphy for his fearless, if at times reluctant, performance in the position of goalie. Congratulations must go to all the boys who gave up their time to represent the school, not only for their outstanding performance, but also for their exceptional sportsmanship, enthusiasm and commitment over the entire 1993 season. Well done. Ms Dutton

he Year Ten team had a very successful season in 1993. The team defeated all opposition with scores ranging from a close fought 2-1 win over Mazenod to a much more comfortable 9-0 win over Rossmoyne. The team was mainly made up of players from last year, but there were a few new players. Our forward line consisted of Kieron Lawlor and David Foley at left and right inner, Scott Bosio at centre forward, Callum Smart on the left wing, Justin Golding and Michael Vinci on the rightwing, Cameron Pernaat right half-back for most of the season and then as our goalkeeper for the last few games, including the finals . Matthew O'Neill was at centre-half, Reegan Buswell and Jonathan Broome at left half-back and Luke Camilleri and Wade Brandon played at full back.

Kieron Lawlor was named Fairest and Best for his valuable contribution, both as a goal scorer and as a team player. Jonathan Broome was given the Coaches' Award for his reliability and commitment both at training and during his games.

The forwards improved with every game, becoming increasingly reliable with their shots at goal. Kieron Lawlor amassed a total of eighteen goals for the season, closely followed by David Foleywith sixteen. Scott Bosio contributed ten goals and Matthew O'Neill scored seven ofthe fifty-four goals scored by the team from ten games. Wade Brandon and Luke Camilleri created an impenetrable back line resulting in only four goals being scored against them during the season.

The season was both successful and enjoyable. Thanks must go to Miss Fowler and Mr Rose'meyer for their support and encouragement throughout the season.

his year's ACC Athletics commitment was encouraging. Forthe purpose of creating a positive expectation

amongst this year's athletic squad a Sports Executive, overseen by Ms Dutton and Mr Preshaw, approached the Year Twelves on Brother Wedd's recommendation to obtain their guidance and enthusiastic support. So was there any change? The answer is definitely YES. Last year on average only five students attended training on any given day. This year the average training attendance was sixty-five athletes . While the overall results are not much changed from previous years , the attitudinal change within this year's squad was dramatic, and is expected to contribute to improved results JSHAA ATHLETICS BACK ROW: Luke Jeffery, Kenshi Wakamatsu, Jai Baker.

he southern zone of the ACC Cricket Competition involved Kolbe College, All Saints College, Corpus Christi and ourselves.

Stevenson and Cameron Perna bowled steadily to mop up the tail, dismissing All Saints for less than eighty runs. A great team effort!

In March and April of this year, many eager boys were keen to demonstrate their cricket skills, represent the school and have fun at the same time. The squad was made up of Chris Stevenson (Captain), Cameron Perna (Vice Captain), Wade Brandon, Mario Peca, Simon Watson, Gavin Williams, David Foley, Jason Faria, Luke Lindsay, Joe O'Hara, Brad Masters, Scott Basio, Dominic Bird, Alex Lyon and Michael Sammut.

We travelled to Rockingham to play Kolbe College for our second game. After winning the toss, Chris again put us in to bat. We lost some early wickets, but Simon Watson held the team together with outstanding batting. He was well supported by Cameron Perna and Brad Masters. Our fina l score of 105 was very good given the slow outfield. Kolbe's innings began much like ours. Gavin Williams, Mario Peco, Simon Watson and Jason Faria shared the early wickets. Some loose bowling was taken advantage of by some of the later order Kolbe batsmen, and enterprising batting enabled Kolbe to pass our score in the last over. It was an exciting finish.

Each game was played over two weeks on Thursday afternoons on a limited overs basis, with teams being restricted to twenty-five overs each. Our first game was at home against All Saints College. Captain Chris Stevenson won the toss and chose to bat. Our first six batsmen took to the bowling and runs flowed continuously. Outstanding with the bat were Mario Peca, Simon Watson and Wade Brandon. The team made 126 runs off twenty-five overs.

Unfortunately, our third game was cancelled when Corpus Christi forfeited. We finished the short season at the top of our zone. As coach of the team, I was proud of the effort and enthusiasm displayed by every member of the team.

The following week bowlers Mario Peca and Gavin Williams took early wickets putting All Saints under pressure. Except for one of their batsmen, resistance was not strong. Chris

Qyit Cup 1993

T

he 1993 Quit Cup season was the most impressive yet. The level of involvement and talent continues to improve both at CBC and in the competition. There were more than forty students wanting to play for our premier Australian Rules team at the commencement of the season. As the main aims of the competition are to promote Australian Rules as a healthy and positive sporting activity, and to get young players back to the clubs, it is succeeding well. The most unfortunate aspect of this competition is the short length of the season which was exaggerated by the forfeiture of two teams.

In what turned out to be the last of our qualifying games, CBC were at home to Rockingham . This was an untidy game where we showed only glimpses of our potential. Best players were Stephen jurica, Aidan Casey and Shane Grljusich. Our two victories and two wins from forfeits meant that we finished second in our division and would play against Corpus Christi in the South West Regional Semi-Final. This would be a very tough game. It proved to be more than tough. Corpus Christi were fast, physical, talented and a very good team. They were in a class above the teams we had previously played and were worthy overall winners.

The season commenced with a high quality away match against North Lake. Poor shots for goal cost us dearly, but everyone was heartened by the performance against a very physical team. The best players were Stephen jurica, Aidan Casey, Andrew O'Connell and Mark of the Day went to john Casey.

To CBC's credit, and a characteristic most obvious in CBC students, the team was 100% committed for 100% of the game. I would like to congratulate all players on their efforts and hope they continue to play in the future. I would also like to thank those students who assisted, particularly Stuart Cattanach (team manager) , Simon Bizzaca and Greg Davies (goal umpires) and the boundary umpires.

Our second encounter was against Coodanup in the hostile environs of Mandurah . We proved ourselves to be an extremely disciplined team , as we ran out convincing victors over a less than flattering Coodanup. Best players were Sephen jurica, Aidan Casey and Brendan Smutny.

hile fifth place In the competition and a poor win loss record were disappointing, the many positive things to come from the season indicate a very promising 1994. At times our rugby was irresistible and we could match it with the best of them, but at other times our lack of fitness and discipline allowed the opposition in with some easy tries. With a blend of youth and experience we fielded a team every week that developed a passion for the game, with the ability ranging from brilliance to players who lacked knowledge of the game but had a go. Outstanding and inspirational players for the team were Brendan Smutny and Lucas Russell, who both scored and set up many tries, and Jorge De Jesus (until he broke his collar bone!). Other experienced players who never let us down were captain Jacob McCallum , Roberto Boni, the human target, and Jimmy Vidal and John Blair.

some great games in the back line. All other players tried hard and contributed to the team's performance. The efforts of the players were encouraged by the great support of our regular bus driver, Ms Bana, and we all thank her sincerely for her time and effort. But now it's time to focus on 1994. With the ability of the Year Tens joining a solid and capable group of Year Elevens, we will look forward again to being a force in the competition.

Perhaps the most important outcome of the year was the emergence of some very good rookies with a real future in the game. Warren Pearson was the outstanding second rower, and Peter Della Bona, Michael Brady and Tim Cronin played

Unfortunately, the first game was played with two key players missing. This was later a major factor in the team missing out on a place in the finals. During the season our prop forwards, Denis Mociel and Matt O'Neil, went from strength to strength and formed a solid base on which we could build. Val Da Souza and Justin Greig emerged as a very formidable combination which saw some of our best rugby played towards the end of the season. New players to emerge during 1993 included Owen Walsh (a strong tackler with safe hands), Michael Wolfenden, whose tackling technique was very impressive and latecomer Phillip Beedham, who developed quickly into a strong second row player.

he season started well with about twenty-four boys showing interest in playing. A total of seven teams competed in the Combined High Schools competition at this level. We started the season well with a couple of scratch matches to settle the players into positions.

Things are looking very good for 1994, when CBC Rugby will be close to the top of both the senior and junior secondary levels. A special thanks must go to Mr Cuthbert for his help in coaching the backs, and for his unique ability for getting lost!

Soccer BC's Senior Soccer team finished the season creditably in 1993. With two wins , two draws and one loss, CBC obtained an equal second placing on points for the first round but missed out on the quarter finals on goal difference. Who knows what would have happened if our 'star' forward (who shall remain nameless) had been fit to play most of the matches rather than having to hide behind a mysterious ankle injury? (sorry about that Alex!)

A special thanks to the Year Twelve students who have been the longest serving members of the team. Above all, Anthony Procino, Alvarro Rocha and Ivo Vitlov have each made exemplary contributions.

Congratulations to you all, you have been fine ambassadors for the school and for the game. I hope to see you all in big numbers next year. Mr Hortense
