CBC Fremantle Annual 1994

CErnUST~BROTHERS'COLLEGE

9lear6ool(1994

From the Principal ... ccasionally on a Sunday afternoon the Fremantle Scenic Tram Tours roll down Ellen Street past Fremantle Park where the old Moreton Bay Fig overhangs both park and road . The tram is probably completing one leg of its tour of historic places of interest, having passed Samson House further up the hill, former home of one of Fremantle's earliest families.

O

Now as the tram passes by, heads inside turn left and I wonder what is said. Perhaps I should do this tour one day myself, but it is mY guess that the impressive stone frontage of Christian Brothers' College is pointed out, stone that was quarried locally, from Rocky Bay perhaps, and then brought downriver by barge and lorry to build the Brothers' residence and the first classrooms in 190 I . A description of the residence at the time of its opening spoke of 'a substantial brick building, with coigns and facings of local sandstone, while the woodwork is of polished jarrah and karri, all surrounded by a spacious verandah overlooking Fremantle Park and the harbour.'

This building reflects much of what people of our decade have come to appreciate about the buildings of Fremantle: substantial, solemn and impressive, it was built in a different era, one which evokes for us a sense of solidarity and permanence in a decade which finds itself fragmented in a world of change, a world in which it is easier to encounter constantly shifting sands than to find the solid ground necessary for firm foundations.

Yet closer attention to some architectural details, as well as some sense of the story of the times, would suggest that the sense of security with which we invest the past may have more to do with our present experience that the realities faced by those who lived and worked in the early years of this century. For there in the stonework of the Brothers' residence, outside the chapel , are two emblems of religious congregations: the Star of Faith of the De La Salle Brothers and the AMDG of the Jesuits, reflecting confusion and uncertainty over the Brothers' own sense of identity and origins atthattime. And itwas not untill937thatthe College building facing Ellen Street was completed , due to a lack of funds.

Then , too, the school was staffed entirely by the four Brothers sent to work in Fremantle, with two teaching in what was the parish boys' school, and the others in the two classrooms of the College. Now the situation in the Brothers' community is quite different. In recent years, two Brothers from this commun ity helped establish Kolbe Catholic College in Rockingham , and more recently two have been foundation staff members of Fremantle's Notre Dame University. Two older men who have retired from active teaching retain links with people associated with school life, while another has moved from many years of successful teaching to work with people in need in the northern suburbs of Perth. Yet another has spent the last twelve months completing qualifications in pastoral counselling for hospital ministry. Two remain as staff members ofthe College; one as Principal and the other

as Religious Education teacher on a shared time basis as he brings his talents to other areas of formation outside the life of the College .

So while we find ourselves in times of change and challenge, it is not something new to the school's story. Twenty years before the Brothers were invited to Fremantle, the parish Boys' School was opened under the headmastership of a layman, Mr Otto De Graney, in what is now used as the school hall. Today the school is once again staffed predominantly by lay teachers, men and women alike.

Once the school prepared only a handful of students for the final two years of secondary schooling, which then had as its sole purpose preparation for the university entrance and public service examinations. Most students left to find a place in the workforce after turning fourteen or completing the Junior examination . Now most students complete all five years of secondary education and are faced with an array of choices which can often be bewildering, many undergoing further years of study or training programmes before entering a workforce which no longer offers the permanence, security or stability experienced by an older generation.

As there has been a gradual decline in the number of students enrolled in the school over the last three or four years, staff numbers have had to be adjusted, all so far, and thankfully, by attrition . There has also been some reduction in the number of subjects being offered . This may lead to suggestions that there is a lessening of demand for the education offered by the College. Yet it is easy to overlook . the fact that only in a recent ten year period the school changed from supporting a single stream of enrolments at secondary level in the mid-seventies to four streams in the mid-eighties.

This increase in demand coincided with rapid residential development in the outlying suburbs south of Fremantle and more distant regional centres and before long-overdue Catholic secondary education was offered to these suburbs.

Despite these areas now being better catered for in terms

of Catholic education, there remains sufficient demand for the school to now stabilise with three-stream enrolments at Year Eight level.

in the Instep Programme, through maintaining a reorganised Work Experience programme for Year Ten students, through piloting recognition of prior learning of national training and TAFE modules giving our students advantages in their postschool options, and through continuing to use the Pathways strategy as a guide to course selection for Year Eleven and Twelve studies.

As concerns about gender equity in education emerged in the eighties, imbalances identified, strategies devised and funding for programmes and further studies put into place, strong emphasis was placed on the styles of learning and teaching of girls, as well as their particular needs to help them take their place in a changing society. Studies suggested that in changing from single-sex structures to coeducational ones girls were disadvantaged in terms of academic achievement and subjects selected, while for boys there was little difference in achievement; at the same time studies also suggested that the social environments of coeducational schools were to the benefit of boys who became 'less rough' with a more even blend of the sexes.

Somehow in all of this, education for boys became the loser.

It is only in the last year or two that the question "What about •

the boys?" has come to be asked, with some interest being shown in particular learning strategies and teaching styles that favour them . The academic results gained by this College's highest achieving Year Twelve students last year should reassure even the fainthearted that successful education in an all-boys environment is certainly attainable given strong, confident teaching and students committed to striving to do their best.

-J

To assist students in their development of literacy our primary classes are gradually being introduced to the First Steps programme while secondary teachers will continue to explore implications of learning theory in Literacy as part of our professional development. The Year Eleven and Twelve sports programme will become more strongly based on community programmes, with time also being given for each Year Eleven student to participate in Christian Service for one term during this programme. The hardware required for Information Technology programmes has been rapidly upgraded at both campuses. Thus the College is well placed to serve the vocational needs of our students as well as to continue the 'strong academic courses for universityorientated students.

Change brings its own difficulties at any time. The demands on people to plan and implement change when they are already fully involved in the busy schedules of school life leads me to express my deep appreciation for the dedication at all levels of our teaching staff at this College, and the commitment to the wellbeing of this College shown by all members of our staff at both campuses. I express my sincere thanks to you all.

Questions about the school's future planning have, I gather, been discussed at different levels within the school community for the last four or five years, and so this year the College's Board of Management presented parents, staff and senior students with the survey Planning the Future, in which many options for future development were presented: use and viability of both campuses, involvement in primary education, the provision of a Senior Campus, flexibility of the school's timetable, the Catholic nature of the school and the desirability of single-sex or coeducation.

Results from this study have been made available to the consultants currently engaged in the Regional Education Study which is endeavouring to develop a sound basis for planning Catholic education in our region for the next five to ten years.

There are others too who have worked to support the good work which takes place here: those on the Board, parents on Committees, the many parents who support the school's policies and practises, it functions and fund-raising, the Old Boys, the local priests, and many in the FremantIe community. I am grateful for constant, generous support.

I add one comment made to me by the consultant engaged to carry out the Board's study: that of similar work done in a variety of schools he had not seen any other school which gained such a sense of support for its education programmes and for its values, with so little non-productive criticism contained in responses from parents, staff and senior students. I was heartened to hear this.

While this planning takes place and while the College adj usts to some internal restructuring, the educational programmes continue undiminished, and indeed with new initiatives under way. Several steps have been taken to support developments in vocational education through the introduction of Work Studies, through the anticipated involvement of a selected number of Year Twelve students

Let us hope then, that in all the challenges, d ifficulties and decisions of the future which we may have to face, that we may come to recognise the wisdom of our College motto: that goodness - and courage - brings its own reward . May our God bless us all.

1994 CBe School Board Report embers of the CBC School Board for 1994 were Dr Brian Lawrence (Chairman), Br Alan Wedd (School Principal), BrTony Shanahan (Westcourt), Mr Frank Schaper, Mr Rob Milburn, Mrs Louise Clazada, Mr Fulvio Sammut, Mr Patrick O'Connell , Mr Ian Handcock, Mr Doug Thompson and Mr Sandro Sandri (Deputy Principal) .

M

workshop examined issues such as curriculum development. commercial management of the school and appropriate utilisation of the school's assets. It is hoped these two processes will better equip the Board to focus on strategic issues concerning the future of CBC as we approach the year 2000.

1993 Budget

Funding for the Future

At the close of 1993 the school budget finished in surplus due to a combination of sound financial management and an unexpected windfall. This position gave CBC a sound financial basis for 1994 upon which to plan future capital and curriculum development. It is anticipated that the end of 1994 will also see a small surplus .

The matter of funding is a vital issue which underpins any decision concerning the future of CBC FremantIe. School fees supplemented heavily by government grants and combined with careful financial management enable the School Board to run CBC Fremantle as a viable enterprise and to balance the budget each year. This, however, is not enough if we wish CBC to survive in a competitive educational environment which sees student numbers dwindle every year.

Christian Brothers' Centenary 1994 was a significant year for the Christian Brothers as it marked 100 years of their presence in Western Australia. The CBC Board has been privileged to participate in a number of centenary events including the magnificent mass at the Claremont Superdrome and the Sportsman's Breakfast at the Fremantle Passenger Terminal. It was especially gratifying to attend these celebrations and acknowledge that enormous contribution of the Christian Brothers towards educating Western Australian youth over the past century.

It is imperative that CBC upgrade both its facilities and its curriculum offerings to attract more students and maintain numbers at a healthy level in the future . To achieve this, significant capital development is needed which will require large amounts of capital funding. The Board was fortunate to obtain loan funds to refurbish the Marshall Wing in 1993.

We applied in 1994 for a Commonwealth Capital Grant to upgrade the remaining classrooms but were extremely disappointed at the outcome of our submission . It is apparent that capital funding by way of government grants is becoming almost impossible to obtain, and the option of undertaking a major fund-raising project must now be seriously considered.

A Year of Planning After completion of the Marshall Wing refurbishing project, the major Board activity for 1993/ 94 has been a year of planning for the long-term future of CBC FremantIe. This planning involved exploring various options for the Tuckfield Street campus , examining the capital development initiatives required to make the school attractive, alternative and viable for 2000 and beyond, and investigating various curriculum offerings to attract and maintain student numbers in the future. The Board has deliberated and debated at length on these issues during the course of the year.

Curriculum Development The annual budget allows only for the normal operation of the school with minor enhancements to curricula . It is apparent that for CBC to attract more students the curriculum needs to be improved and enhanced . This will require funding above and beyond that catered for in the yearly recurrent budget.

At the September meeting, Board members were given presentations by various Heads of Departments for developing curricula in their respective areas. The Board congratulates Mr Ross Barron (PE), Mr Greg Culver (Music) , Mr Harry Clements-Shepherd (Computing) and Mr Peter Crosbie (Manual Arts) for the well -prepared and professional curriculum submissions. CBC Fremantle is extremely fortunate to have teaching staff of exceptionally high calibre and dedication and the School Board thanks Br Alan Wedd and his staff for their work during 1994.

To assist in the planning process, the Board engaged an educational consultant to conduct a survey of staff, parents and students to gain an indication of opinions concerning the future use of the two CBC campuses and the nature of the educational program being offered . Opinions were sought on a range of issues including primary education, specialist programs , pathways to tertiary education, coeducation and timetables . The Board appreciates the efforts of all those who responded to this survey.

Upon completion of the consultant's report, a strategic planning workshop was conducted at the school which was attended by Board members and staff representatives. This

Parents and Friends Association a fund-raising levy which replaced the numerous small fundraising events, allowing the P&F to concentrate more on social events such as the Mothers' Day luncheon, the Year Twelve mother and son morning tea and a wine and cheese night for new parents.

It was my privilege to once again have been elected as president of the Parents and Friends Association for 1994.

The main functions of the P&F are to raise funds for facilities and equipment for the benefit of our sons' education, to encourage parent involvement in decision making and to assist and help with activities around the school.

Our major fund-raising event, Family Day, once again proved to be a great success. It was wonderful to see parents, staff and students working together on the various stalls to make the day enjoyable and memorable for all.

Although attendances at our regular monthly meetings were not large, the committee was able to achieve great results from the various activities organised during the year. Our monthly meetings were conducted in an informal and relaxed atmosphere with all parents who attended voicing their opinions - their input was greatly appreciated. As in the previous year, Brother Wedd attended all meetings and presented the Principal's Report to keep the P&F informed on the day-to-day running of the school.

It was a privilege for the P&F to be involved in the Christian Brothers' centenary year, helping in the organisation of the teachers and staff sundowner for those associated with eBC both now and in the past.

My sincere tha'nks to the executive committee for their help and support during the year. Thanks must also go to our works and social committees, teachers and staff. My personal and deepest thanks to Br Wedd for his words of encouragement and support during the year. Finally, a special thank you to all parents who continually supported the P&F.

This year has seen a concentrated effort by the P&F towards raising funds for the refurbishment of classrooms at the Ellen Street campus. It was heartening to see the general support of all parents and staff culminating in a very successful Family Day. The P&F once again organised the annual book and calculator sales, second-hand book sales, school banking commission and P&F levy. This year, the P&F also introduced

My best wishes to the P&F for a successful 1995.

International Student Visitors Two very special students from Thailand visited CBC during Term Two as part of their school exchange program.

Joseph Pong and James Wong from Immaculate Conception Seminary stayed with host parents and studied in our school for two weeks, plus the usual sightseeing and shopping on the weekends that accompanies every holiday.

The students found the school to be very 'modern', and full of big classrooms, although according to James our canteen food still leaves a lot to be desired.

Both students enjoyed classes varying from Science to Japanese, and found the teachers to be pleasant and the students very cooperative. While here , the boys learned about the school history and our founder, Edmund Ignatius Rice.

They said that if they had the chance, they would love to study at CBC. After two very fun weeks, both James and Joseph flew back to Thailand. In a recent letter, they wished

to thank all the teachers and students who helped them around the school, and expressed a wish to come back and live in Australia some day in the future.

Fremantle Pioneers' Luncheon Speech on Fremantle¡s Past for Pioneers¡ Luncheon at the Town Hall on 1st June 1994 Speaker: Daniel Dwyer

Fremantle grew rapidly from then until the turn of the century, with Fremantle being first connected to Perth by a telegraph line in 1869 and then connected to Guildford and Busselton by 1873. Fremantle had changed so much by 1876 that Henry Taunton, an author, wrote:

oundation Day, today, is a celebration of our State's past; not only of Captain Stirling's arrival at Fremantle in the transport Parmelia, but the succession of events that have shaped this State of ours since then. In researching our past, and in particular Fremantle's, I came across a book simply named The History of Freman tie , which was written to celebrate the state's centenary year in 1929. On beginning to read this book, I found that you all shouldn't be here today but rather tomorrow, for it was actually on june 2, 1829, that Captain james Stirling, with Surveyor General Roe and the first contingent of 68 settlers, arrived at Fremantle.

F

"Fremantle consisted of our principal street made up of hotels and stores and a few Government buildings, including the Imperial convict depot, a lighthouse and a number of private dwellings all glaring in whitewash. A few churches made up an apparently sleepy but really flourishing township, which might be described as a city of public houses, flies, sand, limestone, convicts and stacks of sandalwood."

At the end of the nineteenth century a harbour in the river mouth was created which has served to make Fremantle the third busiest port in Australia, after Sydney and Melbourne.

It was the Engineer-in-Chief of Western Australia, C Y O'Connor, who suggested the scheme in 1891 . It is he to whom we should be thankful for his contribution, which is still alive with us today. There were those who believed the project to be unwise economically, but it was introduced in the Legislative Assembly in March 1892.

FremantIe itself was named after Sir Charles Howe Fremantle, who took possession of the west coast of Australia, also in 1829.

The lifestyle of many of these, and of the countless numbers who followed them, was, as I probably need not remind you, vastly different from the lifestyle most of us are accustomed to today. In a diary written in 1834, a man by the name of George Fletcher Moore gave a less than flattering insight into what Fremantle was really like. I quote:

What I find to be unique about Fremantle's past and heritage is that we are constantly reminded about it whenever we walk through it. The Town Hall you are now sitting in was opened in 1887, and considering the population of Fremantle at the time to be 5000, it was a project of immense magnitude. Among the other historical sites of which some are still used by the public are the Round House which served as a prison within the first few years of settlement, Fremantle Prison which only relatively recently closed for prison intakes, St john's Church, St Patrick's Church, Fremantle Oval, and even my own school, Christian Brothers' College, Fremantle. Some of these listed remind us of as far back as the convict era and the late Victorian era of the gold boom years. There are virtually no other places in Australia which display such a wealth of history, and perhaps nostalgia.

".. .a bare, barren-looking district, the shrubscut for firewood, the herbage trodden bare, a few wooden houses among ragged-looking tents and contrivances for habitation, one poor hotel and one poor public house into which everyone crowded. The colonists are a cheerless, dissatisfied people with gloomy looks, who plod through sand from hut to hut to drink grog and grumble out their discontent to each other."

The population of Fremantle did not grow very much, and in 1843 the population of Fremantle was a mere 387.

Before Fremantle had it first convicts in 1850, the colony'S first horse race was held on South Beach in 1833 and a Postal Department established in 1834. At the end of the 1830s the Fremantle Whaling Company was set up, and the first whale caught off Carnac Island in 1837.

Today, Fremantle has a distinctive identity and spirit that distinguishes it from so many other places of its kind. It is considered to be a cosmopolitan and multicultural city region, and one which exhibits a thriving tourist industry, perhaps largely due to the America's Cup, which was held here less than a decade ago.

The first batch of convicts to arrive in Fremantle arrived, perhaps ironically, on this very day in 1850. Western Australia was made a penal settlement at the request of the settlers, and it was agreed that we wouldn't receive any reckless or dangerous criminals, and that we were to have no female offenders. Among the convicts that came and proved themselves to be good colonists were lawyers, doctors, teachers, master mariners, and civil engineers. The convict era in Western Australia ended in 1868.

We can attribute much of Fremantle's development to those who first settled here 165 years ago, and it is on this day, Foundation Day, that this can be fully appreciated and that we are able to strive for even more success and development in the years to come.

Living Our Faith YCS (ERYG) Report

St Vincent de Paul Society

he YCS has experienced many changes this year, and most of them have been in CBC. This year the YCS has had Ms Bombara as its leader, with Anna and Carla coming by from headquarters to talk with us.

T

his year, the St Vincent de Paul group has seen one of its most successful years within Christian Brothers College. Membership is up, and a new commitment was seen from Year Tens and Year Elevens.

This year's YCS group decreased in numbers from a large group last year to a manageable group of eight (five Year Tens, one Year Eleven, one Year Twelve). In this group we felt a bit more at home, and were able to talk more freely about what was on our minds. Our fund-raising this year was mainly concerned with our Annual Easter Raffle which was once again very successful. Apart from meeting on our regular Thursday timeslot, the group has met outside the school grounds; including at YCS headquarters, at our camp, and at • Fremantle for a coffee.

The Society held a series of successful fund-raising events, including a joint fund-raising cake stall with ERYG (YCS) and Amnesty International on Founder's Day. This raised over one hundred dollars for the Rwanda appeal.

T

Aside from this, SVDP has continued with several other projects, including a clothing bin placed in the school undercroft, and a very enjoyable service camp for all those students who have donated their time to any of the Christian organisations Within our school.

SVDP has had a very prosperous year, and it could not have been achieved without the efforts of our teacher and friend Mr Theseira, who has organised the SOciety within the school for a number of years. On behalf of all of us in the Society we would like to thank him for his work and dedication.

This year the group has decided to become independent from the international YCS group and start up a new service called the ERYG (Edmund Rice Youth Group). We did this because we felt a need in the CBC school community to have our own goals and a sense of identity. So from next year, the YCS group at CBC will be called the ERYG.

The St Vincent de Paul Society is an organisation which helps anyone in need within our community and around the world.

We look forward to being able to continue this work during a rewarding and successful 1995.

Many thanks must go to all students for giving up their lunchtime to come and talk, especially Grant Watton for being our leader and representing CBC at all the YCS regional meetings; also Mr Theseira for all the help when we needed him - we appreciated knowing that he was there looking after the group. I think, though , that the biggest thanks must go to Ms Bombara.

The Paraplegic Quadriplegic Association Appeal

Without her dedication and sense of humour we would not have been able to come to where we are now. I know myself that 1994 has been a great year, and that 1995 will be an even better one with the start of the new group.

T

he ParaplegidQuadriplegic Association of Australia held its first Rattle-a-Can day for 1994 on Friday, 18th March. .

The students of Mathematics Level Two spent their Period 5, lunchtime and Period 6 out in the central business district of Fremantle looking for donations, and handing out stickers to all those who donated to this needy cause.

Salvation Army Doorknock Appeal his year's Salvation Army Doorknock Appeal was held on Saturday, 22nd May, with eleven students from Years Nine to Twelve volunteering to help the Red Shield's annual appeal."Coordinated by Mr Rose'meyer, the eleven students met in the school library and planned the routes they were going to take . By eight o'clock the students were collecting donations from the very generous Fremantle residents.

T

Twenty-eight students in all were placed out in pairs around Fremantle, and for 135 minutes left to accumulate donations, which tested both their cooperation and public speaking skills.

After this time, and with good reports from all, $450 dollars was raised, the best result coming from Anthony Sergeant, who collected a full can - ironically, by standing in front of Myers, Fremantle.

By twelve o'clock $961 had been raised to make this one of the best results CBC has ever had , even despite the recession. All in all the day was a v aluable learning experience, and was enjoyed by all who participated. We would like to invite all students to volunteer their time for next year's appeal.

The students of Mathematics Level Two believed the experience was both challenging and rewarding, and found the Appeal to be most enjoyable.

On behalf of the ParaplegidQuadriplegic Society, I would like to thank Mr Rose'meyer for conducting the Appeal, and also all the students whp helped the cause .

Thank you to Mr Rose'meyer for coordinating the appeal. and also to all the students who donated their time.

Amnesty International - Our Fight for Human Rights

Community Service Camp n Friday 23rd September, the combined school services of St Vincent de Paul, Edmund Rice Youth Group, and Amnesty travelled to Trinity camp site on our annual service camp. We left CBC at 9am and stopped off at Dwellingup to get any supplies we needed. We then travelled towards the camp site. As we got into our dorms, we were faced with our first problem - no pillows!

O

he main aim of Amnesty International is to pressure some foreign governments into analysing their human rights record .

T

This year, under the guidance of Mrs Cooney, our group (fourteen students from Years Ten to Twelve) has focused attention on Colombia, along with a few urgent appeal letters to countries such as Turkey. We held our letter writing meetings fortnightly, at lunchtime. The purpose of our letters was to let the Colombian government know that there are people throughout the world who are aware that they are violating the human rights of their people. These violations in Colombia include disappearances, torture, arbitrary arrest, and the senseless wounding of innocent people.

After this minor setback, we headed off on our bush walk, and if some of us wanted, we could have a swim. Thanks to the expertise of our navigator Shaun Robinson, we were lost in five minutes. We found our way, and came across a wonderful little creek where some people decided to go for a swim. In Tarzan-like fashion, Edward Pounder swung off the vines and landed in very cold water, upon which he let off a primal scream and other unprintable utterances!

Other highlights of the camp included Mr Sandri's try in rugby against Shaun Robinson, Alex Lyon and Grant Watton; Dario losing his glasses in the water; John Sing falling in the mud not once but twice; Ms Bombara's horror bush walk and assurance that 'there was a bridge around the next corner'; Edward Pounder nearly setting the camp on fire with his bonfire, and John Sing and his Brut 33.

As Amnesty International is not politically motivated, we do not normally send letters to our own Federal or State government about human rights in Australia . Amnesty International groups from other countries would be sending letters to Mr Keating about the plight of the Aborigines in Australia, for example.

After all this, we had our dinner, and our Mass with Father Conlon . Then we had a lantern stalk, and after this we went to bed . The next day we woke up, cleaned the rooms and packed the bus. We travelled home, and made it back to CBC at 12:30. Thanks must go to Mr Theseira for organising the event, and very, very special thanks to Ms Bombara and Mr Sandri for organising the camp and for putting up with us for the weekend .

In August we did send letters to Mr Gareth Evans, our Foreign Affairs Minister, urging our government, through him, to support every action of the United Nations in bringing an end to the massacres in Rwanda.

On Founder's Day (26th August) we had a cake stall at school.

The proceeds from this were divided between Amnesty, YCS and the St Vincent de Paul groups.

On September 23rd and 24th these three Christian Service groups went on a camp to (i) raise the awareness of the student body of the function of these groups in the College (ii) give us time to reflect on the purpose of our own lives and the contribution we are making to the community as young Christians (iii) relax and enjoy as a reward for valuable services voluntarily given throughout the year.

On behalf of the CBC Amnesty International group, we would like to thank Mrs Cooney for her support during the year and for all the time she gave up to help us. We greatly appreciate all the work she has done for us.

Head BOY's Graduation Speech I also wish to acknowledge the work and special efforts given this year by our Year Twelve co-ordinator, Ms Cooper. Your work in organising the various Year Twelve activities and your ability to comfort, console and advise people is deeply appreciated by all of the Year Twelves.

his year, which marks the Centenary of the Christian Brothers in Western Australia, has been a significant year for CBC Fremantle and especially for us as Year Twelve students. Tonight's occasion represents the end of our school lives at CBC and the role we have had to playas the leaders in this Centenary Year.

T

It has been a privilege to have been associated with our Year Twelve group, some of whom have been at CBC since Year Five, and I will treasure the many friendships that I have established. Thinking back over the years, I am sure that we can all recall many memorable occasions, most of which I hope have been happy ones for you. Naturally, there have also been the sad occasions, and during such times I admire your fortitude as a group and the way in which you have been able to be there for each other, and enjoy good times with one another. I also think it is appropriate on this occasion to remember Daniel AUegretta and to acknowledge that he, too, is part of our special group. We should consider the way in which his accident has had a great influence on us and, I believe, has served to bring us closer together.

The Centenary Year has been marked by many special events, ranging from the Centenary Mass to the Sportsmen's Breakfast, and I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank my felIow SRC members - Matthew Anderson, Craig Ramm, Michael Carter and Danny Dwyerfor the help and support they have shown throughout the year in representing the school on many occasions with the pride and integrity which is typical of our Year Twelve group.

During our lives at CBC, we have always experienced a supportive and encouraging academic and social environment which has set us on the path to grow and develop into responsible young men. This is primarily due to the teaching and administration staff at CBC who have always been dedicated in their roles as our educators and trusted advisors. I therefore take this opportunity on behalf of the Year Twelve students to thank each and every member of the staff for the way in which they have encouraged, supported and showed interest in our education and personal development.

As for the future, I wish all of you a very happy and successful one. I sincerely hope you achieve all your goals and dreams because, as individuals and as a group we certainly have the capacity to do so. FarewelI and thankyou, Andrew O'Connell

Graduation Reflection Our lives are marked forever by those we meet; the friendships we make and the love we experience, the reconciliations and the quarrels, the works we have tried to do together, for each other and for those less fortunate.

All of this has given us something that will last.

Long after we've forgotten the marks of our exams, we'll remember the friendships, the times of growth, the fun , the quarrels, the laughter, the ;okes.

We'll remember how we helped each other grow as people, in faith, in hope and in love.

May what we have done in this place be given to many others in our lives.

SECWA 1994 Solar Model Car Challenge his year CBC Fremantle entered a team in the SECWA 1994 Solar Model Car Challenge. The team comprised the following Year Twelve students - Jason Maher (project Manager), Christian van der Zanden, Christopher Reeves, Mark Antonio and Aidan McGlue.

T

The Model Solar Car Challenge started in Victoria in 1991 to coincide with the full-size solar vehicle race held that year.

Since then, the idea of solar model car racing has been eagerly taken up in other states and even overseas. The WA Challenge was started by SECWA in 1992, and last year 37 schools and 61 cars throughout WA competed in the event.

This year, over 70 schools in WA registered an interest to compete.

The cars race in a 15 metre elimination event held under artificial light. The fastest 16 cars then go forward to the finals held the next day, where, in outdoor conditions, they sprint over a 100 metre'S' bend. Powered only by the sun, speeds in excess of 25 km/h are achieved by the model cars. The top two winners of the event represent WA at the international event in Adelaide.

In designing the model vehicles, the team had to research and develop ideas in the following areas: I. Power plant - motor selection and testing 2. Steering - driveshaft connections, bearings and guide system .

3. Chassis - weight, strength and materials 4. Body - aerodynamics 5. Testing - sub assemblies, weights, strengths, speeds and type of materials

The project at CBC was organised around a team of students who not only had to research, design, make and test a solar model car, but also undertook fund-raising activities to finance the project.

To this end, the team raised over $1300, an excellent effort, with $750 of that amount raised by the Project Manager, Jason Maher, a really tremendous effort by him . The funding allowing the team to procure an additional solar panel, highefficiency electric motors, and also 'high-tech' materials.

Many thanks to those groups, companies and individuals for donating so generously.

Ideas, designs and build for all the above areas was a team effort, though some students brought in specialist knowledge of areas which contributed to the design process.

The elimination heats were held in November at Forrest Chase, with the finals on the next day at the same venue.

Modelling with Mathematics he Year Twelve Modelling with Mathematics students entered six syndicates into the 1994 Share market Game, a simulation exercise based on the buying and selling of shares on the Australian Stock Exchange.

the operations of the sharemarket without the risks normally faced in the real situation.

T

CB C had an excellent start, with two syndicates in the top twenty after the first evaluation . Unfortunately placings declined as the game continued, with what was probably the most popular share, Burswood, revealed as an undesirable tactic.

The Australian Stock Exchange organises and manages the game, and schools enter syndicates of two to four students.

This year, more than 4200 students from West Australian secondary schools entered the Sharemarket Game, a total of 1381 syndicates.

By the last evaluation, CBC's highest placed syndicate was 135th, having finished with a portfolio valued at $50.446.

Considering the total number of syndicates, the students were proud of their achievement. All six syndicates finished in the top half of the State.

The objective of the game is to generate the highest valued portfolio of shares over six months. Each syndicate is allotted a theoretical $50,000 with which to buy shares. Students buy and sell shares using a computer package from the Australian Stock Exchange. It gave students a clear understanding of

'94 Computing

The Law Society

his year saw great leaps forward in the Computing Department, with the school acquiring twenty 486 DX IBM PCs, which gives the students access to all modem commercial software. This recent upgrade in hardware has also allowed us an upgrade in software (programs). Students now have the opportunity to gain skills in programs such as MS Windows and MS Works. Another piece of hardware that has been purchased this year is a modem, allowing computers to communicate via telecommunications, thus enabling the school to enter into large networks.

ineteen ninety-four saw the re-establishment of the Christian Brothers' Law Society. From what was a productive 1993, the 1994 bunch of lawyers-to-be battled out three cases from the criminal and civil aspects of law. The twelve-strong group divided into two teams incorporating a defence and a prosecution, and this year we also incorporated a teacher-student jury to add more pressure to our barristers.

T

A new initiative this year was the Komputer Klub run on Monday and Friday afternoons. This will run again next year if attendance levels are maintained . CBC also entered the National Computing competition, run by the University of Queensland. Three teams from Year Ten entered, and one from Year Eleven. Each team had two hours to complete three programs, and they were very challenging.

N

The Society's main aim is to gain a sound insight into law within our community, and to participate in an intra-school competition to illustrate how cases are conducted and the role of barristers and solicitors within the justice system .

The cases themselves were heard in the school hall, with both the defence and prosecution producing wins. Our barristers and solicitors proved themselves to be both talented and dedicated to each case, and we all gained valuable knowledge about our legal profession.

Big news next year for both Years Eleven and Twelve - parts of the Applied Computing course will be accredited by TAFE for 'Recognition of Prior Learning', as well as receiving the normal SEA certificate. This more than makes up for the dropping of TEE Computing. Finally, next year Mr ClementsShepherd is planning to enter a school team into the 'West Australian Make a Newspaper Contest' where a new computer can be won. So as the world's technology continues to change, so too does our Computer Department's.

On behalf of the Law Society I would like to thank our teacher, Mr Searle, for guiding us and dedicating his time to the Society. Thanks must also go to all the teachers who gave up their time for jury duty.

Paul Hutchinson

Asanka Gunasekera

Even though our lawyers had no fast cars or bulky wallets, we proved all together that the old saying "you know when a lawyer is lying - when he opens his mouth" to be total nonsense.

English Speaking Board Examinations n the 7th and 8th of November 1994, the English Speaking Board (ESB) examinations were held for Year Ten students. The ESB tests students' ability in English in three areas - a talk on a subject of the student's choice, a memorised poem and a piece of prose. The talks were generally the most interesting with a variety of topics ranging from tae kwon do and go-karting through to phone cards. The most difficult part of this segment was trying to restrict the talk to the three minutes allowed as students waxed eloquent on their favourite hobbies, interests and pastimes.

O

The final results were very pleasing, with distinctions achieved by Paul Spiccia, David Cocciolone, Fawaz Melder, Asanka Gunasekera, James Farrar and Alex Lyon , well up on last year's solitary distinction . Twenty-three students achieved credits, and all sixty-three other students passed the examination . Thanks must go to all teachers involved in preparing the students for the ESB examination and in organising the examination day, in particular Ms Finch .

Dancing Lessons learned several dances: slow rhythm , waltz, quickstep, jive, cha-cha-cha, barn dance, Pride of Erin, evening three step, progressive jive, hucklebuck, Mexican shuffle, pat-a-cake polka and zorba. We were also taught some basic courtesies associated with ballroom dancing, such as how to ask a lady for a dance, to clap at the end of each dance, and, most importantly, not to leave your partner stranded in the middle of the dance floor.

Every Friday afternoon for ten weeks, the Year Ten boys took ballroom dancing lessons with the lona girls. Transportation to and from lona College was an adventure in itself.

Unpleasant odours were quickly dispelled with copious amounts of varied and perfumed deodorants. The worst part was when all 75 of us were crammed onto the Worldmaster because the second bus that Mr Rose'meyer had booked was nowhere to be seen . Needless to say, he was a very happy driver, and we were as quiet as mice.

At the conclusion of the ten weeks a social was held so that all the students could be given a chance to demonstrate their skills - or their lack of them. We give given instructions to get ourselves spruced up as Mr Rose 'meyer warned us there would be a tremendous transformation in the girls and they would not want to dance with 'scruffs'. As soon as we entered the hall we realised that he was not very far off the mark. Things got underway at 7:30pm and most people had a great time. Jason Cace was awarded the most improved danceroverthe course of the lessons. Many new friendsh ips were made and phone numbers exchanged as we had a very enjoyable evening. We would like to thank Miss Bana, Miss Ivankovich and Mr Rose'meyer for making this happen, and also Miss Fowler, Br Hackett and Mr Barron for the occasional visit and encouragement.

On arrival most students were slightly timid, concerned about their appearance and very reluctant to enter the hall - afraid ofthe unexpected. Brad Masters, Jon Brady and Aaron Sicuso summoned up enough courage, and crept into the midst of the 110 girls. Once all of us were inside, we were greeted by Mr Gilkinson, our instructor. He seemed a nice enough guy, although anyone who failed to listen to his instructions or talked while he was teaching was asked to stand up in the middle of the hall and demonstrate the dance being taught. The embarrassment was too much for anyone to get caught a second time.

During the first lesson the boys were asked to pair off with the girls. This was a rather painful process, despite a lot of encouragement from the teachers. It took pretty close to ten minutes before we got under way. As the weeks wore on, we

Year Ten Work Experience rom as early as Term Three, 1993, youth counsellor Mrs Cooney had begun preparations for one of the most exciting and complicated courses in the Year Ten calendar - Work Experience.

F

Work Experience is an in-school program which involves students being placed in firms and offices around the metropolitan area to experience work and work-related situations by direct participation. It is designed to present to students an opportunity to make decisions about their careers and what fields of work they would like to proceed with in their futures. It has also been developed for students to discover the business world and enhance vocational skills, responsibility, and positive attitudes to work and real life. phase One of this long and important process began in Term Three of 1993 and Term One of 1994 with the students of Year Ten deciding what area of employment they would like to work in, then attempting to acquire a placement appropriate to the field they had selected . This was easier said than done. A Year Ten meeting was held on Monday 7th February, which gave parents an insight into the program in order to assist boys with finding their placement.

By now, most had already settled work experience placements and were ready to venture into the workforce for a week. These positions varied according to the career ambitions of the students. Following this came the final function of the course, which involved students being given the low down of what to expect during work experience and common office etiquette - and then the big week arrived .

The first thing was the practice interviews. To prepare for this, the students received sheets with a variety of possible questions, and for weeks before the actual interview the boys were busy preparing answers to the questions. A variety of interviewers had been arranged to come to the school and assist in the exercise . The people selected had wi de experience in interviewing, and so their hints and suggestions proved very valuable to us. Most students coped with the interviews very well. Many interviewers commented on our thorough preparation , and also on our appropriate standard of dress for the occasion .

Certificates and reports were distributed to the work places.

They had been done on computer, and added a touch of class to the program. Teachers visited the students in the middle of the week to show an interest in how the students were adjusting to life in the work place. Once the week ended, and the students returned to the normal rigours of school life, they brought back many stories of their experiences. Some boys had even been successful in gaining jobs or apprenticeships.

Early in Term Three, when all the evaluation certificates had been returned to the school, they were distributed personally by Brother Wedd . These reports were very good, and marked the end of the program which proved very beneficial to all involved, thanks to the time and effort put in by the coordinator, Mrs Cooney, and the assistance given to her by the Year Ten English teachers, Mr Rose'meyer, Miss Finch, Mr Purcell and Mr Searle. The boys themselves found the experience to be exceptionally enjoyable and a worthwhile experience, with the excellent results of the employer evaluations adding to the boys' references for future employment.

In our English classes, we were taught about curriculum vitae, and then we actually had to prepare one. Each Year Ten boy now has on file the start of his curriculum vitae, to which he can add as the years go by.

On behalf of all the boys who participated in this course, we wish to thank Mrs Cooney for the time she spent in organising this incredibly difficult course, and also for all the time she put into the program after hours. The excellent results achieved were a tributes to the great amount of care and effort she put into the Work Experience week. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and wish next year's Work Experience students the best of luck.

Year Ten Retreat

Year Ten Japanese

n the 17th and 18th of August, the Year Ten group went on their retreats for the year. The classes were split into two groups, the first going to the Epiphany Centre, and the other going to places including the St John of God Hospital and the Emmanuel Centre. These events would be swapped around for the next day.

ur year began with a healthy dose of culture, with 20 or so Japanese students visiting CBC as part of their international school excursion. The Year Ten Japanese students got the chance of meeting most of them during their Japanese periods, and found them to be both friendly and intelligent, and surpisingly very similar to the boys ofCBC.

O

O

Here is a sample of what people thought: This year's course in Japanese dealt with a variety of subjects, ranging from culture, the many traditions and festivals of Japan, to weather and climate, dealing with the pronunciation of Japanese seasons and weather patterns. The course also dealt with money, food and the many forms and ways of writing and speaking Japanese, and even though challenging at times, the course was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

5t John of God Hospital On Wednesday 17th August, Year Ten students of CBC, Fremantle visited the St John of God Hospital. We were taken on a tour, and shown such areas as the laundry and kitchen .

The laundry was an intriguing sight. It was filled with huge machines, roaring, trembling and intensely working non-stop throughout the day. These machines were extremely efficient, being able to wash, dry, iron and fold all the hospital's linen daily.

This year for the first time, Year Ten students studying Japanese around Australia participated in a national Japanese exam. Even though challenging, we hope for some good results from this exam. The enjoyment and success of Japanese in CBC could not have happened without the efforts of teacher "Sense!" Parish, who has prepared all classes to be fun and valuable to us all. On behalf of all sudents of the Japanese class, I would like to thank him, and we are looking forward to our fourth year of studying this fascinating language in 1995.

Our next stop was the kitchen .This too was a quite amazing and unbelievable sight to see. All the meals were freshly cooked, and about 1700 were prepared every day. Freshly cooked meals are also prepared for people with special diets, needing various vitamins, etc.

The Epiphany Centre We went by school bus to the Epiphany Centre, and were greeted by the group. At first, most of us were nervous in the surroundings, but after a quick introduction and an exciting game of dragon chain, where we formed a large circle and a player ran around collecting people, holding them by their arm, we were a little more relaxed. We watched a small play acted out by the group, listened to some more introductions and had a short recess.

Year Ten Catering ear Ten Catering got off to with a flying start with the theme for the year being discovering the flavours and techniques of cooking from all around the world. To start our journey, we were issued with passports, an itinerary and a map so we knew what we were doing each week.

Y

We returned inside, and were treated to some more garnes, talks and plays. We watched an activity concern ing the changing of information from one person to another. We split into smaller groups, and further discussed ourselves and our religion . Finally we said goodbye to the group, who throughout the day had become our friends .

This unit helps us appreciate and respect other cultures through the preparation, cooking and serving of a variety of foods . To start off, we prepared food from Australia, including lamingtons and meat pies, then we prepared dishes from around the world from week to week, as well as discovering some new terms which were unfamiliar to us. Throughout the year we have made dishes like profiteroles from France, gazpacho from Spain, and the famous 'bangers and mash ' from England. As a finale to the year, we learned to make pizza from Italy - a perennial favourite of ours.

The Emmanuel Centre We also went to the Emmanuel Centre, where we learned sign language with some handicapped people. These people were very nice, and we also got to look into their homes to see what they were like.

All in all, it was a good couple of days, and thanks must go to everyone concerned who made the day what it was.

In conclusion I would like to thank Mr Williams for allowing us to sample all this wonderful cuisine through our catering classes, and for helping us perfect basic techniques of cooking, like chopping, dicing, cutting, etc.

Fairbridge Camp n Tuesday, 22nd March, Years 9C and 9D went to Fairbridge village near Pinjarra for a four-day camp.

Once the bus was packed, we started our journey to Fairbridge village, a good two hours away. When we arrived, our spirits were high, and we were allocated four houses with groups of twelve to thirteen people in each dormitory.

After unpacking, we had lunch, and after this we got ready for the afternoon activity, which was canoeing and waterskiing at Moering dam.

O

After we got back, all of us had free time in which we could play tennis or basketball, swim in the pool or just simply relax. After a delicious dinner, we had a great time in the evening when we had a quiz. ¡In the morning we had to wake up for exercises at 6:30am, much to the fear of many of us. After a scrumptious breakfast, 9C went horseriding, while 9D conducted a sporting competition which involved tennis, basketball and swimming until midday, when the two classes swapped over activities. During the evening we had a paraliturgy in the chapel and Fairbridge, and we also had a games night. Later during the evening we watched a video called The Lost Boys.

The next day, 9C and 9D went to Farmworld , and we got to feed goats and sheep, plus we got to milk a cow. After this we went rollerskating in Mandurah which was a very bruising experience. During the evening we had a lantern stalk, and the night was topped off by a Mr Bean video.

On Friday morning we cleaned our houses. When we had finished, we were ready to leave. We arrived back at CBC at 12:30pm after a most exciting camp. Thanks must go to all the teachers involved in the camp and its organisation.

Year Nine Social n 12th August, a number of boys from Year Nine attended a social with Santa Maria girls at Santa Maria. A DJ played all the newest music, from techno to Nirvarna, and although a lot of the guys stood like cowards at the side, most people built up their courage and danced - well, if you could call it dancing! A lot stood stupidly and jumped up and down. Plenty of food and drink were provided as the teachers of both schools watched the students jumping around jubilantly.

O

The night was a complete success, and those who didn 't get up and dance really missed out on a good time. On behalf of Year Nine, I would like to thank Mr Macauley, Ms Bana, Mr Purcell , Ms Fowler, Ms Dutton and all other staff who made the venue and night possible .

Camp Logue Brook orm groups 9A and 9B went to Camp Logue Brook earlier this year for the Year Nine camp. Camp Logue Brook is situated about 20km north east of Harvey, and a few minutes' walk from Logue Brook dam. The camp is set in the midst of thick bush, which gave a feeling of aloneness - or at least, as alone as you could get with fifty other Year Nines around.

F

On arrival at the camp, we ran through the rules and were allocated chalets. Groups of six to eight people dispersed throughout the site and made themselves at home. Boom boxes and ghetto blasters came out of nowhere and started full bore. They were only turned down under threats of confiscation, but even these threats were rarely made.

Just as we got settled, we were called down to the dam for a swim. Those who tried to get there barefoot soon regretted the absence of shoes, and by the time we got back from a refreshing swim some were hobbling along. Tabloid sports were next on the agenda. We had everything from beach volleyball to running up boulders. One events involved jumping a creek - this was to be our first encounter with mud, but certainly not our last. A games night was the last event of the first day.

and brought out hidden fears in a few people.

Accuracy with a bow and arrow proved a problem for a few people, with some wayward arrows even venturing over power lines and lodging in trees.

Food on the camp was of remarkably good quality, and the cook was also trained in first aid, which was handy when the horses were around. For many, the highlight of the camp, aside from good food, was the on the dam, when we got towed around at frighteningly high speeds in an inflatable doughnut. The owner of the boat, and caretaker of the site, knew how to use the wash to the best possible effect, flinging off anyone who dared to go on. Our thanks to all those involved in the organisation and running of the camp, with a special thanks to Mr Purcell, Ms Fowler, Ms Bana, Mr Stack and Mr Preshaw. .

Alistair Usher

Public Speaking

Next morning we were awoken abruptly by a few sharp thumps on the door and voices shouting at us to get up.

From there we were herded down onto the lower paddock and made to jog for our breakfast, turning left at the dam, past the mud flats, along a few rough tracks and back to camp.

his year, during Term Two, some Year Nines participated in a public speaking course. These classes were held once every week for a duration of ten weeks on Monday afternoons. Our public speaking teacher was Mr Andrew Horabin, an expert in the field of public speaking and debating.

T

We were then given a work sheet containing directions, and told to walk around the dam and associated tracks. This hike came to an end at 'the rock', a rockface sticking up about five metres from the water. Several of us took the plunge.

Once we had all recovered from the walk, we were split into two groups. Half played tennis and volleyball, while the other half went horse riding. A steady flow of injured people walked back to camp - the horses were a bit temperamental.

At first we concentrated our efforts on public speaking, but gradually turned our attention to debating. We participated in two debating competitions: the WADL (Western Australian Debating League) and the Refugee Week competition. In the WADL we debated four matches against lona, Santa Maria and Mercedes College. CBC was represented by Alistair Usher, Andrew Etchells, Carl Carcione, Con La Roche and myself. Unfortunately we lost every match and missed out on the finals. In the Refugee Week competition, Dion Loney, Tim Lancaster and Brad Cox represented CBC and won their first debate, but were eliminated from the competition in their second match. CBC also participated in a public speaking competition held by Rotary International, and Tim Lancaster took part in this, but unfortunately missed out on the finals.

When we had finished with the horses, we were put on bus and driven to the Harvey abattoir. Breathing was difficult in the building itself, as the stench took a bit of getting used to. The main freezer was the only place where we could, but the air was -18°C. We weren't glad to get back into the boning rooms . By now, many people had red dots on their worksheets and clothes. At various points during the tour some vowed to become vegetarians, but these vows were broken a few hours later at dinner.

Despite our losses we had a great deal of fun, and all who participated in the course learned about the art of speaking, how to address an audience , and ways of speaking confidently. Thanks must go to Mr Horabin who helped us with our debates by coaching us, giving our team ideas for the topics we debated, and advising our debaters. Mr Mulvey must also be thanked for providing transport, and for watching our debates, and thanks also go to our fellow students and parents for supporting us.

After dinner there was a lantern stalk. Since torches weren't allowed, many people ended up lost. As with the previous night, the "lights out" rule was observed, but the "stop talking" instruction was ignored. We were woken again in a similar fashion to the previous morning, only the thumps got louder and more frequent.

Abseiling was the next main event of the following day. The abseiling rig was a bit small, but it got enough people down,

Tournament of Minds

Year Seven Social

eptember 10th was a grand day. The Murdoch campus of Edith Cowan University was buzzing with excitement because of a statewide competition called Tournament of Minds. Except for the introductory video of the tournament, we had no idea what it would be like, as this was the first time we had entered the competition. We entered three teams, comprising Year Sixes and Sevens.

n September 23rd, the Year Seven class were invited to a Social by lona Prim'ary. The venue was their hall, which was familiar to us because of the Oklahoma! rehearsals.

S

O

The week leading up to the dance was exciting. The boys brought the drinks, and the girls supplied supper.

There were three categories to choose from: Science & Maths, Social Studies/Sciences and Language Arts. Our three groups chose Language Arts and our challenge was entitled "Cliches Are Just not On!" Shakespeare is alive and well in the 20th/ 21 st century and is writing soaps with happy endings. We had to base our plays on Romeo and Juliet and make them end happily.

The night arrived! Because the boys and girls had developed good friendships during Oklahoma! , it took little prompting to start to dance. Justin and Malcolm set the scene with some smooth moves. Liam and Troy Foster led the singing of their favourite songs . Ricardo demonstrated perfectly the 'spaced out/wow man' feeling!

It was great fun (and a laugh) to watch the adults twist and rock'n'rol!. The dancing was non-stop for over three hours.

The many teachers and parents present could not have been more impressed with th is friendly and active group of youngsters.

All three teams did exceptionally well on the day, especially considering we were continually interrupted by rehearsals for Oklahoma. In all we only really had four or so of the six weeks allocated to prepare our plays and act them out, and every moment counted. We would like to thank Mrs Lovelock for organising our teams, the facilitators and Mr Pass and Mrs Worner for letting us out of class to practise.

The highlight of the end was the snowball, and almost everyone participated and shared partners. We would like to thank lona for organising the social and look forward to next year's event.

O-O-O-Oklahoma!

E

arly in Term Two, the Year Seven class began rehearsing with the Years Six and Seven classes .of lona for the musical Oklahoma!

Mrs Pi ke was the Director, and she was full of enthusiasm .

After aud itions, the leads were chosen . The male leads were Malcolm Rock as Curly, Christian Thompson as Will , Robert Antony as Jud and Troy Foster as Ali Hakir.

Rehearsals took place two or three times a week for most of Term Two , and daily in Term Three. It was very demanding, and Mrs Pike insisted on discipline and perfection.

Eventually the time came to perform in public. The first performance was the dress rehearsal for the primary classes of CBC and lona.

Then came three nights of excitement and fun. Everyone performed wonderfully - even though all of the leads struggled through illnesses.

To stand on stage and receive the cheers and applause of parents and friends made all our hard work worthwhile.

I'd like to t hank M rs Pi ke and Mr Pa ss for all their help in our performances.

Italian Experiences A quiz night for students in Year 10, together with students from Seton College and Corpus Christi College, proved to be interesting. The quiz was followed by supper and a social, wonderfully organised by our boys, who hosted the evening.

his year has been a busy and fruitful year for students of Italian. The inaugural ITALIAN TRADE EXPO held at the Fremantle Passenger Terminal in March was attended by all students except Year 9 whQ were away at camp. The Expo gave the boys a comprehensive picture of Italian products and enterprises.

T

In August, students in Years 10- 12 attended the film festival at the F.T.\' with the screening ofthe beautiful movie FIORILE. The Year 10 boys then went on to lunch at La Fettuccina For most of the year the Year 9 students corresponded in • Italian with the girls from Santa Maria College. Unfortunately time did not permit us to organise a luncheon for the penfriends to meet, so this occasion has been postponed to early 1995.

To conclude our topic on "Food , Restaurants and Shops" the Year 9 class went on an excursion to Northbridge to discover the different Italian shops and business premises .

They were also treated to a tour of European Foods Warehouse and the Re Store, where a veritable smorgasbord of imported food is housed, and where they tasted an assortment of foods.

With the round of social activities, we did find time for school work and the boys' proficiency in the language was reflected in some outstanding efforts . The Dante Alighieri Examinations held in july produced some excellent resu lts.

For the second year in a row, Dario Dalla Costa, Year II , won first place in the Intermediate Section, while first place in the junior section went to Alessandro Lucioli (Year 10). Their awards were presented at a prize giving night at the w.A. Italian Club.

Excellent results were also achieved in the Australian Language Certificate Examinations, with the following students achieving top levels in both the Reading and the Listening sections.

westpac Awards he Australian Mathematics Competition for the Westpac awards is a major annual event on the Australian mathematical calendar. This year well over half a million students took part Australia wide. All entrants throughout the country sat for the paper on August 2nd . The competition paper consisted of 30 difficult mathematics questions in a multiple choice format.

Twenty-five CBC boys obtained Distinctions, and 95 obtained Credits, a result of which the boys can feel justly proud . While not every name can be mentioned, there are some boys whose results deserve special applause.

T

Congratulations to john Austin of Year Eight who finished in the top 3% of Year Eights in the State and obtained the Special Achievement Certificate for the junior Campus .

Congratulations also to Alexander Lyon of Year Ten , who finished in the top 1% of Year Tens in the State and obtained the Special Achievement Certificate for the Senior Campus.

There were separate papers for Years Seven and Eight (Junior), Years Nine and Ten (Intermediate) and Years Eleven and Twelve (Senior). While some questions asked for skills learned in school, many required d ivergent thinking and sharp perception . Calculators were not permitted.

The following boys also finished in the top 5% of their year level in the State: jonathon Woolfrey and james Delides of Year Ten, and Chris Brown, David White and Stefan Murphy of Year Eleven.

At CBC, 343 students from Years Seven to Twelve sat for the competition. The papers were sent to the University of Canberra for grading by computer, the results coming back during the October holidays. The competition committee awards Certificates of Credit and Certificates of Distinction to students meeting certain standards.

A hearty "well done" to these and all competition entrants who did their best in a very trying event. Let's hope that these results are even better in '95 .

English Excellence tudents from both Junior and Senior campuses at CBC responded to the demand for high standards in English by demonstrating their proficiency in the recent Australian Schools English Competition. Competing against a record 268,000 participants in this year's Competition, students from CBC were awarded 17 Certificates of Distinction, 80 Certificates of Credit and 14 Certificates of Achievement.

S

By I I :05 the next day we found ourselves in the Grammar School auditorium, all nineteen (or eighteen, as Carmel was late) having the rules explained to us. Five minutes later we began the competition . The first few games seemed to be against us, but after some cordial and biscuits, the tables turned (a bit). We only came out with a few points: Ricardo with two, Mark with one and a half (out of stalemates). and Ben and Brendan with one, but weren't disgruntled, as this was our first year in the competition, and for others their second orthird. By the end of the tournament we were rather happy, as we didn 't come first, but didn't come last.

The Australian Schools English Competition, which is an initiative of the Educational Testing Centre at the University of New South Wales, is conducted annually across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.

After the tournament, which ended at about 3:00pm, we headed home. This time we went by the ocean, and saw some volcanic rock on the beach which came from a volcano in the area (now buried) many hundreds of years ago. Thank you to Mrs Lovelock for organising this trip, and taking us everywhere, and also the families with whom we stayed .

The competition draws upon a variety of resource material that students are likely to encounter in their day to day lives, making it enjoyable as well as challenging. This year students from China, India, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates participated and it won't be long before CBC students will have the opportunity to match their talents against those of millions of students from all over the world . Congratulations to all our students.

Growing Up Back Then An Interview by Joseph Catalano with Rosa Catalano on 18th October 1994 INTRODUCTION

My mother, Rosa Catalano, was bom in Sicily, Italy on the 2nd March, 1948. Her parents, my grandparents, Sebastiano and Carmela Barbagiovanni migrated to Western Australia when my mother was five years old. When they arrived in Fremantle they moved several times before buying five acres of farmland in Munster and building their own home. That house is still there, and always will be, along with many • wonderful memories of its history.

Rosa is going to help me establish what it was like for her around forty years ago, living in Perth.

It takes approximately eight weeks for the bean stalks to grow big enough to start to grow beans. Every two days after that we would have to spend the whole day picking the ripe beans, putting them in bags and then sending them to the market to be sold. Of course, we would keep some for ourselves and some for seeds.

As well as a market garden, my parents kept pigs, goats, chickens and ducks. We kept pigs for meat and to make sausages, the goats for milk and chickens and duck for food and eggs. Since we grew our vegetables as well and some fruit and had these animals, there wasn't much need to go grocery shoppi"ng, since my mother made her own bread and jams, etc.

When we first started building our house in Munster, my parents worked day and night just clearing the land. It wasn 't like today where you can just pick up the phone and hire someone to clear your land in one day; we also didn't have much money. My father and mother had to cut down the trees by the roots, cut them into smaller pieces and haul them away by hand. Although that wasn't the only thing they had to do - they also cut and cleared five acres of tall wild plants and weeds for the market garden.

* It was hard work getting up at six o'clock every morning to

clean my room, help my mother in the garden and then wash my hands and feet before going to school. Since my parents didn't have a car and there were no bus stops near where they lived, I had to walk to school with my brother and three sisters (Charlie, Josephine, Carmel and Mary) which took about an hour.

We also had no electricity either; we had to use gasoline lanterns for light. Also the water lines weren't connected, therefore our only water source was a rainwater tank. This meant that water was a lot more precious than it is today.

We had to drink, wash and cook with it, although this water wasn't used for the garden because we had a well for that.

We'd leave for school at eight in the morning since school started at 9:00am and would arrive home after school at 4:30 in the afternoon. After arriving home, we'd put our work clothes on, make a cup of tea for ourselves and our parents, who'd been working in the garden all day, and take it to them.

Charlie, Carmel and I would help in the garden, while Josephine and Mary would clean the house and start dinner.

After we 'd eaten and cleaned the kitchen, we'd do our homework before going to bed.

All the cooking was done on a wooden stove, which was our only source of warmth (apart from blankets) in the cold winter months. It was simple living, but that didn't mean it was easy.

We did not have a car as many people couldn't afford it back then so we could play on the road for hours at the weekend without seeing a car; that isn 't the case today.

My parents were always in the garden because they would sell fresh beans and other vegetables to the market. It was hard work growing beans, etc because there was a special system that had to be followed . First we had to prepare the soil and dad would do that because he drove the tractor plough. Next came fertilising the ploughed soil - this was done by putting manure sacks on the back of the tractor and someone would spread it as they walked alongside the tractor.

* CONCLUSION

1 think that times certainly have changed in the past forty years, and there are some things 1 miss, as well as some things I don't. Growing up in those days, living in those conditions, made people appreciate what they have much more than those who have grown up in this generation and not had to go without electricity and fresh running water. It taught people that when there was work to be done, it was done whether you wanted to or not.

The next part wasn't terribly hard, just time consuming, as the bean seeds cannot be sowed, so we had to plant every seed individually. After two weeks of growth the bean stalks need extra support. At this point my dad had to put up runners. Runners are just bamboo sticks about one and a half to two metres long. He had to weave and tie them together around the young, weak beans, and that took practically a whole day.

It also kept the family together, taught self-discipline and

self-reliance. I just wish we all had those qualities.

Music Committee he Music Committee started the 1994 school year with a very successful Music Luncheon in March at the Tuckfield St Campus with over 90 parents attending.

The new parents to the CBC community had a chance to meet parents already involved with the music programme and everyone enjoyed the boys' performance.

past music students, Tim Forster, who was manning the bar, to join them on stage together with a present music student, Adrian Tranchita on drums . The College should feel justifiably proud of both and the music programme. A great night was had by all.

T

The instrument hire system is working well, this money going back into replacing old instruments and buying more. This year the Committee bought two alto saxophones, a flute, a trombone and three clarinets - all now out on hire . This programme allows for boys to hire instruments for their first year of tuition, allowing many boys a chance to study an instrument without a big outlay at the start.

In June 60 boys arrived from Singapore, the St Patrick's Military Band under the direction of Mr David Gloss, for a thirteen day visit and the music parents rallied to provide billets for the boys. This proved to be a rewarding experience for both boys and parents. A combined concert was held with the CBC Jazz Orchestra at the Fremantle Town Hall on the 3rd June and was very successful. The organisation for the boys' stay ran smoothly thanks to the combined efforts of the Music Department, Miss Bana, the Music Committee and parents. Some parents involved with the billeting are still in touch with the boys.

Our Carols in the Courtyard was a great end to the school year and was held at Notre Dame University on a blowy, cool Sunday evening in December. A good crowd was there to see the boys from Year 5 to Year II perform and join in the singing of carols. The Christmas spirit was certainly present.

Our own Music Festival was then held three weeks later so once more the Music Committee did what was required the night was very enjoyable with a good crowd and a nice supper. Music parents had the chance to see their sons perform. Over $1500 was raised for the music programme.

For their great support to the Music Committee and music programme sincere thanks must go to Brother Wedd, Mr Sandri, Mr Culver (Acting Head of Department), Mr Stengel, Miss Bana, Mr McAllister, Mr Anning and Mr Niyazov.

In October the Jazz 2 Band went to York for the Jazz Festival, staying overnight at the Tennis Club. It was a great experience for the boys and many positive comments followed.

Sincere thanks to the committee and involved parents for their help, support and work during the year and our best wishes to the 1995 Music Committee.

Our Evening of Music held under marquee at Ellen Street in October was really enjoyable with the first half of the evening having an Irish theme, with lovely Irish ballads and jigs, to commemorate the arrival 100 years ago of the Christian Brothers to WA from Ireland. In the second part the music masters entertained in great fashion, calling on one of our

I would like to encourage all music parents to become involved on the Music Committee at some stage of their son's time at CBC. This involvement brings many benefits to the boys with a successful, progressive music programme.

Junior School Choral Camp he inaugural Choral Music Camp was held from Monday May 2nd to Wednesday May 4th at New Norcia.

After settling in, the boys knuckled down to some intense choral sessions, working extremely hard . The accommodation and meals were of a very high standard. As well , the boys were able to do some sightseeing in and around the monastery.

T

Highlights of the camp included attending midday office with the monks and singing at the Wednesday morning mass in the Abbey Chapel. Many thanks go to the participating parents: Mrs Courtis, Mrs Mears and Mrs Rock, and to Mr David Molloy, Master of Music at St Patrick's, whose expertise in choral singing and teaching contributed great ly to the success of the camp.

May I also take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to every boy in the Junior School Choir for his commitment and effort throughout the year.

The school showed a great diversity of swimming talent, with some students resembling dolphins, and others looking more like bricks! However, everyone tried hard and had a good time, especially Mr Garratt.

He had obviously spent considerable time in training reading the swimming rules and by-laws! Despite his meticulous preparation, however, he spent two hours with the officials, after numerous protests were lodged by rival coaches.

Back at the pool, there werefive divisions in most events, with the results as shown below. Congratulations to everyone on a good effort.

1994 Athletics Carnival fier a failed first attempt at our athletics carnival due to heavy rain, we had a luckier day on 31 st August the rain only started as we finished the day. This year, the Athletics Carnival was held at a new venue, the Len Shearer reserve at Melville. The reserve provided ample space to set up throwing circles and gave extra space for novelty events.

A

A tabloid system was once again used, where everyone competed for the day in eight events . Many students enjoyed 'going back to primary school' trying to beat each other at tunnelbaII and tug-of-war. It was rumoured, however, that Mr Cole had more fun than the boys, although this could not be confirmed as he had lost his voice from cheering!

The day was voted an outstanding success, with a high level of commitment shown by students. The highlight of the day was the mixing of students from Years Eight to Twelve who supported each other with constant cheering.

1994 Cross Country

n 27th September the Junior School Cross Country team embarked on a massive task, which was to better our previous year's performance.

his year the format for school cross country changed from previous years. The event was run in year groups during sports time. The venue was a real cross country track adjacent to the Cockburn Basketball Stadium. It had plenty of obstacles and sand to test the best runners.

T

Each year division had fifty participants, and we were aiming to finish in the mid-twenties.

For many of the runners, the most interesting part of the run was the water station at the finish . Many students got into some difficulty, with water in their mouths, or upended on top of their mates - perhaps trying to help others cool down after a hard run? Form champions were Years IIA, lOB, 9A and BB. Year champions were:

We were very excited when in the IO-years race Peter Phillipson finished ninth , and William Andrade ran thirteenth . These were the best results CBC has ever had in this competition .

In the I I -years and over, our captain , Torn Wayne , damaged an ankle half way through the race and had to withdraw. The others in this age group finished in reasonable positions.

Under 13 Hockey f a day is a long time in sport and a week is an eternity, then a year must be an epoch. The 1994 season for the Under 13 Hockey team was in marked contrast to the . previous season. In 1993 we struggled to win only five garnes, and finished in sixth position out of eight teams. However, we turned things around dramatically this year, winning 17 out of 17 garnes, and on the way, collecting the Challege Cup, Guth Ardagh Pennant (first place) and the Premiership Pennant (grand final) . In achieving this, over 100 goals were scored and only seven conceded. One player, Kyle Wade, scored over 50 personal goals.

Under 11 Hockey e started the year very slowly, and for most of the team it was the first time in their lives that they had picked up a hockey stick. But with players who had played for two or three years, our side was to be the best there was.

W

Our first few games were mainly draws, with one loss to our toughest competitor, Good Shepherd. But we were in a rhythm .

Great use of our wings resulted in many goal opportunities, and not many goals were wasted, thanks to accurate shooting and great team work. During the whole season we only lost one game; drew three and won the rest, including a 13-0 thrashing against Ashburton.

The finals began , playing first Good Shepherd. The scores were tied 0-0 at half time. The scores were still tied at full time, so we went into overtime. Good Shepherd scored, and we replied desperately through Jonathan Courtis, and went through on percentage. The next game was against Phoenix, and we won 4-1 .

FRONT ROW: Jesse Christidis, Michael Harris, Jonathon Courtis, Andrew Bass, David Hughes, Nicholas De Ceglie, Blair Hurle BACK ROW: Mr G Holtham, Garth Hur/e, Scott Connor, Nathan Jerovich, Scott Powell, Ms S Bana

The big day came: D-Day Mark II. Two of our best players were told to go home, as it was cancelled, but the game went on as usual. In the first half the scores were tied I-I .

In the second half Nathan Jerovich and Jonathan Courtis returned . In that half Good Shepherd scored, and replied quickly with two goals from Nathan which were the clinchers.

On behalf of the under II s, we would like to thank Miss Bana and Mr Holtham for coaching us, Mr Hurle for assisting us, and friends and family for supporting us.

Quit Cup Football he 1994 Quit Cup Season was an exceptional one, with CBC entering two teams into the competition. The two teams represented the school admirably in the respective divisions.

T

We were on the road to Kwinana for our second game. After being down at half time, desperate tackling from our senior player, Mitchell Buswell, turned the game around, and we won comfortably.

The first team, comprising the school's most talented footballers, played in the Graham Farmer Division. Under the expert coaching of Craig and Mr Michael Carter, CBC made it to the regional semi-final convincingly with an undefeated qualifying season . John Casey and Matt Edmonds summarised the season as follows:

Our next game was won without even running onto the field, as our opposition did not turn up, so we won by forfeit . Our last fixtured game was against North Lake High , who didn 't harm our losing streak. This win engaged us with a semifinal burst against Melville High.

This was our most important game yet - if we lost, we were out. At half time we were trailing by two points; our coach gave us an inspiring talk, but in vain. The siren sounded with CBC one point behind ."

"The Quit Cup football team of 1994 had a brilliant season, but ended in a very quick and disappointing way.

Throughout the season there was plenty of excitement, with hard hitting bumps, high flying screamers, unbelievable goals, and just simply magical play that took us through the season undefeated.

The second team entered the Ross Glendinning Division and competed against the best teams the other schools had to offer. Although some members of the team were new to the game, CBC developed quickly and won their third game against South Fremantle. However, this was a touch too late in a short season of four games. Best players for the second team were Chris Reeves and Trent Cox. Chris Reeves ' outstanding play also earned him the All Star Award for the South West Region.

For our first game of the season we lined up against our great rivals, John Curtin, at their home oval, where we gave them a lesson on how to play football , and 'Magic' himself, Matt Anderson, kicked a bag full of goals. The next week we had a bye, which gave us a well deserved rest.

Champion Schools Cup pon reaching the Champion Schools Cup Final, the lads of CBC did more than made history. They carried the torch of the spirit of amateur competition and fair play right through the competition. Given that most of the boys do not play competitively for any club, their effort was outstanding. Never before has a CBC team played so cohesively and with such passion .

Greenwood and Morley SHS). Tired legs, drooping shoulders and sagging morale suddenly sprang back to life after a lastminute inspirational run by Aniello or save by Dino.

U

These two 'stars' of the team need to be thanked not only for their sterling performances in 1994, but for their overall contribution since they joined the senior team as Year Ten students. While their talents will never be replaced, we do have in young Gary Faria and his brother Jason the nucleus of a decent team in 1995. I must thank all the boys who contributed to CBC's success this year. Some of them did not always have a full game, however, their participation was greatly appreciated and I urge their continued support in 1995. Special thanks to Daniel Allegretta who is battling strongly at Royal Perth Hospital. Daniel was a very active member of the team and, since his accident, became an inspiration to the boys' success. Thank you , Daniel.

Each game saw lads like Frank Ranallo and Michael Brady play with tigerish competitiveness, while others like Michael Gauci and Dean de Petra improved their endurance and midfield play. Up front, our attack was brilliantly served by Aniello d'Angelo, who set up of finished chances with great verve. In goals, Dino Pacella showed us why he has been selected in the state squad by coolly leading his side and making life difficult for the oppositions' strikers.

The fact that CBC lost convincingly in the final match hardly matters when one considers the quality of the opposition.

John Curtin SHS, a soccer-specialist school, came to the final by trouncing every team they met with ruthless but monotonous efficiency. On the other hand, during each of CBC's games, there was suspense and drama because, in many cases, the outcome of the game wasn't determined until the last minutes (as during the games against

Finally, I wish to thank the staff members who helped promote the game - particularly Mr Barron and Mr Preshaw for their advice and support, and Mr Rose'meyer, Miss Fowler and Miss Bana for their keen interest in the boys' performances throughout the year. Let's do it again in '95.

First Fifteen Rugby Union ugby Union is alive and well in CBC. This year we showed the best form for three years with seven wins for the season and a berth in the sem i- fi nals .

Unfortunately we lost a torrid encounter with the eventual champions, but that performance showed promise for the future with many Year Elevens playing well.

R

Outstanding performances for the season came from half-back Val De Sousa and flanker Michael Brady, consistently our best players.

Others to sh ine were Chris Lilburne and Peter Della Bona. It is perhaps not fair to single these players out, because all players tried hard and contributed to the team's efforts.

As is the case in most seasons, this year we unearthed some exciting new talent in the form of Claudio Strnadica, Anthony Russell and the elusive Travis Sheehy. These boys have a great future ahead of them in rugby.

Players who made names for themselves in Year Eight were Andrew Howe for his courageous tackling and defence-busting running; George Rollo for strong play in the forwards;and Carlos Foster for intelligent kicking and passing.

With this batch of experience players coming through next year, things look all set for a championship year.

New Zealand Ski Trip 8th to 15th July 1994 fter a seven-hour plane trip, we arrived in Christchurch cold, tired and hungry. We boarded a bus and a while later we arrived in the town of Methven and were allocated our rooms in the Mount Hutt Ski Lodge.

The next morning was spent learning how to ski, with Michael Vinci showing us how to fly off a cliff. That afternoon we were given free time to practise our new skills, with the more adventurous trying to stay on the steeper slopes. By the end of a couple of days we were all able to reach the top of the mountain, and most people were able to ski down successfully, with a few other people trying snowboarding.

The week was injury-free until the last five minutes of skiing, when Michael Wolfenden mistimed a jump, did a bellyflop in the snow and put himself on crutches for the next week.

All in all it was a good trip, and enjoyed by all. Thanks must go to Miss Dutton and Miss Bana for organising it and taking us to New Zealand .
