carousels to cars At the last, as they say is where we are today, But it is at this point like so many others at which we must not stray, We've been tested before, in a million different ways, We've come so far and had some fun, But now we must hasten away I remember the days where we all lived for was to play, We'd run and jump and laugh the days away, Never thinking we'd ever reach where we are today
It hasn't all been easy frustrations have flared and tempers boiled, As tighter around our necks the shackles of life have coiled We've moved along life's sketchy trail, learning and doing more, At times we've fought hard to stand firm, But still at times we fail Now taken by surprise We come to life's next door but for the first time we each hold our own key, It is in our hands, and in our hearts and minds the key which sets us free
As I look back one last slow glance, regretting some things done A smile lights my face, The schoolboy race is run, We peer into the future for whatever lies ahead, The carousel's behind us now we're driving cars instead

One year later he moved his boys to a new school which he had built with the money from his business. This first school of the Christian Brothers was named Mount Sion.
As other men were moved by Edmund's example to join him in following Christ as lay religious, additional schools were opened. At the death of Brother Rice in 1844 there were forty-three schools, including some in England, one in Gibraltar and one in Australia. Throughout his long life, Edmund was noted for his complete trust in God's providence, for his love of the Mother of God, and for his kindness, generosity and justice to all. Because of his great devotion to the Mass and the Blessed Sacrament his remains have now been placed in the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament at Mount Sion, Waterford.

After twelve years our school life is finally at an end. There is joy, a sense of accomplishment and, 'I hope, a sense of pride in having reached our goal. Nevertheless, I am sure there is also sadness and fear, as we all know what we leave behind, but the future remains a mystery. Being part of the CBC family has given us a sheltered environment in which to grow and mature; now the doors are flung open and we must all choose our own paths. I am sure the class of '95 will be able to make the right choices because I believe that this last year has seen us become much wiser human beings. Naturally, there were a few lapses into childhood fancies . For instance, when certain pupils of a Year Twelve class, who will remain anonymous, decided to play with toys one morning, and on another occasion the library mascot, a stuffed Garfield, was kidnapped and held for ransom.

senior ball The social highlight of the CBC school calendar, the Senior Ball, was held on Friday 12th of May in the beautifully decorated Fremantle Sailing Club. One hundred and fifty girls and guys dressed in their finest to dance to the music of Faces who provided a combination of Top 40 and slower numbers. There was ample room for dancing, so both students and staff strutted their stuff and enjoyed themselves thoroughly. This year it was decided to present a few awards in good humour. CBC's Driver of the Year went to Cameron Perna and the Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde Award was won by Jon Brady. Matthew Sullivan was deservedly voted Mr Etiquette, Jason Faria and his partner took off the Romeo and Juliet Award and Ben Zuideveld's partner, Monika, is apparently 'the girl most men will dream about'.

the angelico art exhibition The third Angelico Art Exhibition was held in the foyer of the BankWest Tower in September this year. The exhibition demonstrated the high standard of work completed by students from Catholic secondary schools. CBC students whose work was chosen for the exhibition were Vincent Karlsson, Matthew Sullivan and Richard Travia. We were delighted when Vincent Karlsson was awarded the honour of second place in the exhibition for his striking self-portrait. The painting was acclaimed for its mature approach and quality of paint technique. MsS Posner

work experience One of the major events in the Year Ten's schedule this year was that of work experience; This is the one week per year where the students leave school for the workforce where they encounter the many aspects of what things are like in various careers. This year, work experience was held from Monday 26th to Friday 30th June.
In the same way as the past few years, practice interviews were held, with the students dressing as they would for a real interview. Ten people who have wide experience in interviewing were invited to the college to conduct interviews. This helped students to prepare for work experience and the workforce, while the interviews also gave them a few pointers on where to improve in certain areas and selective pointers on how to do it. Once again, the Year Ten boys represented CBC with great distinction, and upheld the excellent reputation that the past year groups have built up amongst local employers. The range of jobs varied from marine biologists to painters and customs' brokers. The week appeared to have varied degrees of success, with some students again being offered part-time employment with the firm due to their excellent work and participation during work experience. Sadly, however, this was the last year that CBC will be conducting work experience for Year Ten students, as the new Work Studies and In Step programmes in Years Eleven and Twelve incorporate a work experience element. On behalf of the Year Ten boys, I would like to thank the English teachers Ms Morison, Mr Rose'Meyer, Mr Stack and Mr Searle, and especially Mrs Cooney, for organising work experience this year, and to all the staff who visited the students at the various job sites to speak to the boys and their supervisors.

fairbridge camp On the 28th of March the Year Nine A class and half of Year Nine C left for Fairbridge Village for their annual camp. Once the bags were packed and all the boys accounted for and on the bus, it was time to leave for Fairbridge Village which was a good two hours away. With much chattering and singing on the way, the boys' spirits were high when we arrived at Fairbridge Village and were allocated to one of the two dorms. After a brieflunch we started on a lowropes course. Our guide, Gary, told us that he had seen women do it better than us. That made us laugh, but did not stop us from playing around at it. Mter this we went for a long walk culminating in a swim in one of the waterholes ... until we were told the waterhole had leeches in it. After several boys were bitten, almost no-one stayed in th.e water. That night we had a scrumptious dinner (as were all our meals), followed by a quiz night and a movie. The next morning we were rudely awakened at about 6:30am for early morning exercise taken by the teachers. Mter breakfast we set out for a day at Waroona Dam. At the darn we had the opportunity to go water-skiing, bodyboarding, ski-biscuiting, swimming, canoeing and also tried raft building. Many people also took the opportunity to indulge in mud fights. That night we had mass and later watched a movie. Our second full day of activity started with mud soccer, which was great fun and extremely dirty, and in the afternoon we went roller skating in Mandurah. That night we had a games evening with a variety of activities. On the Friday morning we had to pack our gear and dean our dorms at the camp. By 12:30pm we had arrived back at school from a great camp. Together with the other students, I would like to thank the teachers and parents who came and looked after us.

grandparents' day A very pleasant day was had by 190 grandparents, parents and friends at Tuckfield Street on the 25th October 1995. The aim of the day is for the school community, and in particular the students, to acknowledge the contributions made by our grandparents. It is also an opportunity for grandchildren and the grandparents to mix socially. The grandparents were entertained by various bands, ensembles, choirs and instrumentalists. Another highlight was the morning tea where the grandparents were waited upon by their grandchildren. A great time was had by all. The morning concluded with a tour of the school and classrooms.

Human Torpedo, based on the book by Tim Winton. It was being performed at the Playhouse Theatre in the centre of Perth. The play was about a boy of twelve and three quarters named Lockie who has just moved to town. There he faces many problems such as not knowing anyone although he soon becomes popular. The play was very amusing and received much applause both during and at the end of the performance. It was a definite success and everyone enjoyed it.

report
Year Six was an exciting year for all students. Many students participated in sport, music and English Speaking Board talks. Most students have worked hard and deserved their Golden Honours. During Physical Education we have played various sports including cricket, volleyball, football, hockey and tennis. Most of us have found the key to open our hidden talents or have come to realise that everyone has special gifts. Although we have completed the work set for maths, social studies, science, English and other subjects, the most important thing that Mrs Worner has taught us this year is to have respect for ourselves and others. We would like to thank Mrs Worner for helping us learn and grow in knowledge of ourselves and the Junior boys enjoyed a number ofvisitors during the year, including this opportunity to hear and examine some unusual musical instruments

In 199 S CBC Fremantle won the Glendinning division. The ten week competition saw CBC win every match decisively - with an average winning margin in excess of sixty points. The team was blessed with many skilful and committed players who wore the green and gold jumpers with pride. Our performance in the two finals typified the season and deserve detailed recognition.

Reegan Buswell was inspirational across the backline, along with Stefan Murphy, Mark Vinci and other backs. John Neesham, Chris Brown, John Casey and Mario Peca converted their opportunities.

who excelled in every aspect of the game, be it tackling, dribbling, shooting or heading. In 1991 Cono captained a side which only just missed out (on goal difference) on reaching the quarter-finals - the best a CBC team had achieved at the time. Without hesitation, I give Cono the captaincy of the CBC team of the decade because of his commitment to the school team and the quality of his leadership.

Right Midfield Danny Collova is, in my view, the most gifted midfield player the school has ever had. Paradoxically, Danny did very little in defence and always appeared slow. However, on his day, Danny could terrorise the opposition's best defence with his intricate dribbling and accurate passes. When he fired, he made defenders look foolish by arrogantly taunting them and providing the easiest of chances for his forwards. I am confident that his inclusion in the team of the decade is justified, because he was capable of one or two devastating spells which could tilt the outcome of a
