PRINCIPAL'S ADDRESS

youth issues

I DRIVE DOWN TO THE WOOLSTORES WHENEVER I NEED TO GO SHOPPING.

IT's NEARBY,

OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, AND CONVENIENT. IT'S PART OF

FREMANTLE, THE CITY WHERE

,

I

LIVE.

THE SHELL OF THE OLD ELDERS' WOOLSTORE IS ACROSS THE ROAD, A LARGE, DERELICT BRICK BUILDING WHICH OCCUPIES THE WHOLE BLOCK. WINDOWS ARE SHATIERED WHERE BRICKS AND STONES HAVE BEEN TOSSED IN BY THOSE WITH NOTHING BETTER TO DO. THE GRAFFITI OF POLITICAL SLOGANS FROM THE LAST THIRTY YEARS FADES INTO THE BRICKWORK. IT'S ALSO PART OF FREMANTLE.

E

ach time I drive past, there are older teenagers skateboarding up and down the access path outside the old building, with nothing better to do. A building, a reminder of times when Australia's economic wealth was built on rural prosperity, stands desolate now that wool has become almost worthless. Young people outside with nothing better to do. In the days when Elder's was always busy, young people always had something to do. Leave school, find a job, start working somewhere. Simpler days. The woolstore, now an empty shell. Young people with nothing to do. They are also part of Fremantle. STATISTICS

How do our young people feel? The national figure for youth unemployment (which covers

the ages of 15-24 years) says that 25 % of young people do not have work. In the Fremantle region, that's probably 30-35%. Since we know that approximately 30% of school leavers take on university studies and 30-40% enrol for TAFE studies, a quick calculation tells us that leaves 30-40% of school leavers to find employment. And 30-35% of schoolleavers are unemployed! What do we offer our young people? YOUNG PEOPLE AND THE FUTURE

In October last year a group of our Year Eleven students spent a couple of hours taking part in a process of consultation for the Australian Catholic Bishop's Report on Young People in the Future. CBC was one of four Catholic schools in WA involved in this consultation. In this process those who compiled the

report for the Bishops took time to listen to what the young people had to say.

"My dream is to have a family, career, and to be able to put back into society" - Young person, Perth. The common concerns which emerged from this process were explored with other groups of young people, and the major priority issue was identified as unemployment.

"Unemployment seems to be the greatest social problem we young people experience today. Something needs to be done to assure us of permanent employment" - Youngperson, Gemlton. "In the absence of regular work you can't make decisions about buying a house or having a family or any of those sort of things" - University student, Melbourne. Australia has a crisis of youth unemployment. The unacceptable high ~evels of youth unemployment render even young people who have work more vulnerable. The prevalence of casual, unskilled work adds to insecurity for thousands of young people in the labour market. This can result in exploitation. Jesus tells a story oftwo houses, one built on sand, the other on rock. An economic system

3


driven by short term financial and political goals is built on sand, while an economy built on rock, which is the dignity and value of each person, and seeks to serve the weakest and smallest will endure. The second key issue which emerged for young people was their experience of boredom and drug and alcohol abuse. For many young people modern life seems empty. Many professionals point to links between drug and alcohol abuse and unemployment. Unemployed young people are susceptible primarily because of their deep feeling of worthlessness to society. Boredom and 'empty' time add to these feelings. The connection of young people with their families and communities is also central to understanding drug and alcohol abuse. Where young people do not feel valued, loved or connected to family or society, they are more likely to engage III risk-taking behaviour. The largest study conducted with adolescents took place in the US last year, involving 12,000 high school students. It found that teenagers with strong positive emotional attachments to their parents or their teachers were less likely to engage in high-risk activities. Emotional bonds were reported to be easily the most important factor in determining the behaviour of young people.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A deputy principal A

student recently said to me, "I see you dashing about and telling boys off, but what else do you do?" In response to this I changed my original article for the annual and recorded a typical day. 6.25am (Home): Phone rings - "Is Mr Sandri there?" Staff member reports an uncomfortable night, diarrhoea and head aches, this is the second staff member who will be absent as another member is on a one day conference on learning pedagogues. Five lessons will need to be covered in a specialist area - not easy to do. 6.31am (Home): Phone rings Thank God they asked for Mrs Sandri. 6.42am (Home) : Phone rings Another staff member reports that they urgently need to see a specialist, they will teach the last two periods, the other five periods need to be covered. I ring a relief teacher - He is able to do the supervisions and he is a specialist in the area, bargain! 7.41am: I arrive at school and find two pink slips on my desk - a staff member requires relief from 8.30 to 9.35 for urgent private business. The Form period and period one need covering. Commenced doing the paperwork for supervisions. 7.57 am: Student knocks on door, he has left his wallet on the bus and needs to phone home urgently. 7.59am: Year 8 student knocks on door - "Mr Sandri can you lend me a tennis ball to play hand tennis?" He was in luck, I had taken two tennis balls off students the previous day.

DIRECTOR OF STUDIES

incorporating technology

T

he newly developed Curriculum Framework sets out what all students should know, understand, value and be able to do as a result of the programs they undertake at school. Two of the Overarching Learning Outcomes from this Framework are: 1. Students select, use and adapt technologies.

2. Students recognise when and what information is needed, locate and obtain it from a range of sources and evaluate, use and share it with others. CBC Fremantle has recognised that these outcomes must necessarily be part of the mission of the college and has placed technology as a significant factor in learning, teaching and administrating the school. Through the initial vision of Mr Harry Clements-Shepherd (Head of IT), the support of Br Wedd and the School Board, and the hard work of the Technology in Education Committee the

school now boasts excellent facilities that allow the students to achieve the above outcomes. At the end of the 1998 academic year the College has: • established a Local Area network throughout the school with a fibre-optic 'spine' • connection points to nearly all classrooms, offices and staff study areas • two Information Technology classrooms supplied with updated PCs and IT equipment • CAD facilities in the Technical Graphics room • computer laboratory in the Music Room • PCs in every teaching staff office and administration office • 15 networked PCs in the library

• access to the WWW and e-mail for all staff and students • television and video in all classrooms By the end of 1999 students will have access to computers in all classrooms. Professional development of staff will be the principal focus in 1999. The challenge will be for teachers to develop skills that will allow effective use of these facilities and integrate technology as an every day teaching and learning tool.

- Mr Chris Cole (Director of Studies; Technology in Education Committee) 6


PROVINCE LEADER'S message s Trustees of the eight Christian Brothers Schools in Western Australia and South Australia, we are struck by the fact that six of the schools, including CBC Fremantle, currently are involved in major building projects totalling millions of dollars. The results will be outstanding facilities in areas such as technology, science, special education, sport and the arts. Such projects generate a buzz of excitement around the school and a justifiable pride in the school's facilities and programs.

A

However, buildings and facilities weren ' t the only things on the minds of the participants at a historical first meeting of Principals of Christian Brothers' Schools from around Australia in August 1998. Some forty Principals met in Melbourne, twenty eight Christian Brothers and twelve lay Principals. One of their overriding concerns was the ethos and spirituality of this family of Christian Brothers schools that includes CBC Fremantle. It is a truism to point out that, while buildings and facilities are extremely important, what is even more crucial in education is what takes place in those buildings. Ethos is about the quality of the way things happen in the school. It relates to that often unspoken sense of "the way we do things here." Even though this is not often put into words, a newcomer feels it very strongly. I have often heard people claim that they can pick up the spirit and character of the school within half an hour of walking into it, even just by sitting in the waiting room at the office.

I well remember some research done in the early 1980's about what made schools effective and successful. One of the strongest results in the research was a correlation between effectiveness and such apparently mundane things as the promptness with which teachers began classes. I think it would be a mistake to assume on the basis of this that punctuality is, of itself, the crucial factor. I suspect that punctuality was important because it was the measurable expression of the staff's underlying enthusiasm for their work and the purposeful and energetic way they went about it. It is things such as this, the spirit with which people do things, the way people treat each other, the implicit sense of what really counts around here, that comprises ethos. It is not only understandable but also reassuring that ethos was one of the overriding concerns of our school Principals, Australia-wide. I think it shows that they have their priorities right. This also came up during the year when the Province Resource Team ran workshops for groups of longer serving staff from our schools. It emerged that some staff were concerned about what the future would hold for their schools as lay Principals took over from the Christian Brothers and as the number of Brothers directly involved in the school dwindled to zero. This concern was in no way a reflecti9n on lay Principals, but expressed the depth of feeling about the issue of ethos, especially among staff who have worked for long periods in Christian Brother schools, who have helped to shape the school's ethos and who have

come to value deeply what our schools stan'd for. We would be guilty of overoptimism if we were to think that the disappearance of Christian Brothers from the staffs and leadership of Christian Brothers' Schools would make no difference at all to ethos. It is not a sign of pessimism to have questions and concerns, but an indicator that we will all have to work hard to ensure that the heart and soul of CBC Fremantle is not diminished as these changes occur. Indeed, the experience of those schools that have already moved to lay leadership suggests that, although the way of living the Edmund Rice ethos is different, it need not be lessened, and may even grow and deepen as the school community assumes the responsibility of the ethos. Like anything of great value, such a vibrant spirit, a lived commitment to the gospel tradition of Edmund Rice, doesn't just happen, but grows out of the commitment and involvement of staff, students, parents and the wider school community. Let us hope and p~ay that the new facilities being developed in so many of our schools do not lead to any complacency, but rather engender and reinforce the determination to provide an education truly in the tradition of Edmund Rice and the Christian Brothers, an education that values excellence, service, spirituality, and a keen social awareness.

COLLEGE BOARD

president's report

DURING THE PERIOD DECEMBER

1997

TO MARCH

1998

THE BOARD

PRESENTED ITS CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS' PROVINCIALATE.

THE PROPOSAL WAS TO CONTINUE THE

REDEVELOPMENT OF THE ELLEN STREET CAMPUS THROUGH PROVISION OF A GYMNASIUM, UPGRADED ENTRANCES, FENCING AND LANDSCAPING,

The Board's committees Finance, Marketing, and Planning and Resources have all worked successfully throughout 1998. The Marketing Committee in particular has taken initiatives in its promotion of the College. Congratulations and thanks to all.

ENHANCED PRACTICAL ARTS, SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, MUSIC AND VISUAL ARTS FACILITIES AND UPGRADING OF THE ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE:

T

he Brothers' Leadership team, after due consideration fully endorsed and supported the Capital Development. As 1998 is drawing to a close I can advise that City approvals, Catholic Education Commission requirements and architectural work are all well advanced. 1999 should see the fulfillment of many people's efforts to take CBC Fremantle into the twentyfirst century as a first class boys secondary College. I congratulate and thank all those involved with CBC Fremantle in 1998. Tradition, Innovation and Achievement, encapsulate what Freo as a College, believes is important. Its great tradition continues strongly through the generations recognizing that this requires continual support from us all as we work towards the future. You will have noted from newsletters the many and varied sporting, scholastic and community achievements of the

boys and ex-students at local, state and international levels. Congratulations all round, the College Board is proud of all these achievers.

Thank you to the staff and coaches for your efforts in providing opportunities for our boys and for fostering their development as young men. The Board fully endorses the work of Brother Alan Wedd, our Principal and of his staff. It was pleasing to note that Br Wedd has accepted a renewal of his contract which should enable him to fully participate in the College's redevelopment in which he has played a leading role.

The Board itself has worked very well as a dedicated team with all members willingly giving their expertise to assist the College in meeting its objectives. Messers Fulvio Sammut and Martin Lowry have completed their terms of office. As Board Chairman I thank them for their generosity, diligence and expertise which have greatly benefited the College. 2001 is CBC Fremantle's centenary year. It will be a year of rememberances and a year important to future generations of boys as the College moves confidently into the new century. Early in 1999, after consultations with the Old Boys' Association and our other supports, parents and friends, the Board will announce major initiatives to celebrate CBC Fremantle's Centenary. May God bless the work of the Christian Brothers and their many supporters.

- Professor Brian Lawrence (College Board Chairman)

PARENTS AND FRIENDS

president's report

THE PARENTS AND FRIENDS (P&F) OF CBC FREMANTLE MET REGULARLY TO PROMOTE ACTIVITIES AND TO FINANCE ITEMS FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS.

.KEY COMMITTEE MEMBERS PATRICIA SAINSBURY (VICE

PRESIDENT) AND NICK DELIDES (TREASURER) WILL STAND DOWN NEXT YEAR. THE OPPORTUNITY ARISES FOR OTHERS TO MANAGE SUCH DIVERSE ITEMS AS THE SECOND HAND CLOTHING STORE, OLD AND NEW BOOK SALES, Adrian Spano & Luke Jeffery washup after helping to cater for the Mothers' Day Luncheon.

he importance of these jobs can be gauged by the fact that new book sales commission in 1997 was $6375, second hand text books was $1647 and second hand uniforms $656.

T

Patricia Sainsbury has been an outstanding worker for staff and students over a long period and her devotion to duty will be hard to replace. Nick Delides has provided expert bookkeeping and advice. Patricia and Nick have a love of CBC which transcends the role of the P&F. These special comments in no way diminish the work of the Davis duo, Mary and Chris, who worked throughout the year as joint Secretary of the P&F , or of the Year Representatives which were introduced in an attempt to stimulate interest in the P&F. Our thanks go to Debbie Burwood and Rina Casey (Yr 8); Joe Caputi, Gaye Hurle and Graham Sybon (Yr 9); George Raffa (Yr 10); Suzette Thompson and Marie Novak (Yr 11); Trish Sainsbury and Chris Wade (Yr 12). We also thank Br Wedd and Mr Sandri for their continued interest

We would like to note: • the special thank you vote passed to recognise the work of previous P&F office holders, Sue Lawrence and Rod Townsend. • the problems identified by parents with school book sales day were addressed at meetings with the distributors and suggested changes will be implemented at the end of this school year. The P&F were very successful financially and raised money through events such as a Bush Dance, a Mothers' Day luncheon and raffle, a Chocolate Drive, a Fathers' Day Pasta evening and raffle and the annual Family Day.

Many parents are under the impression that the P&F levy substantially covers all outgoings, but this is not the case. The arbitrary figure of $50 was introduced to minimise the rash of raffles that took place at one time. With the retirement of key members the ongoing role of the P&F needs to be put under the microscope to find ways to stimulate interest and audit performance.

association report

THE OLD Boys ASSOCIATION HAS

NOW BEEN OPERATING OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINING ITS AIMS AND GOALS BY ASSISTING THE COLLEGE WHERE EVER possmLE.

D

Uring the year we were able to provide a bursary for a student to continue their education at the College, and have updated the mailing data base which is used as a contact with past pupils t~ough Palma magazme. We are grateful that a cabinet has been provided in the library for the storage of old class photos and memorabilia, some of which goes back to when the school first opened in 1901. These are very valuable parts of the school's history and we have undertaken discussions with various parties regarding the best way to preserve these records. These historical items are made available for viewing on the school's open day. As the College's history grows the tradition of being a 'CBC boy' certainly continues. Some of the current students are third and fourth generation family members and both the Principal and Parish Priest of Fremantle are old boys.

It is also very interesting to note the various successes of past

pupils. Many have achieved leading positions in their career paths while others have had successful sporting careers, including representing Australia at both Olympic and Commonwealth Games level. Such success is brought about by a willingness to learn and being prepared to undertake any task assigned to the best of their ability, which stems back to the CBC tradition. On the first Wednesday in Novemeber the annual Mass at St Patrick's Basilica is concelebrated by past pupils and followed by a sundowner reunion in the school grounds. This event, as in past years was a great success in 1998. During the year the committee has endeavoured to increase membership which now stands at 140 financial members. The Association always welcomes new members and would love to see some new active members on the committee.

Best wishes to all students in your exams and always remember your happy times at the College. To those leaving, the Old Boys' Association is a great way to keep in touch with your friends and your school. Congratulation to the CBC Old Boys Football and Cricket Clubs on their achievements during 1998. As a committee we wish to congratulate Br Wedd on his reappointment and look forward to working closely with him as the College's Centenary celebrations of 200 1 near. Thank you also to all the staff at the College for their assistance. On a personal note: I would like to thank the committee; Kevin O'Brien, Kevin Cant, Ken Doherty, George Ayres, Jerry Gerovich and Graham Taylor; for their support over the year. Although a small group we work well as a team.

•

he Senior Ball, CBC Fremantle's major event of the yearly social calendar took place on Friday 8th May at the Fremantle Sailing Club. Everyone who attended was exquisitely dressed, the ladies in gowns were breathtaking and the men certainly rose to the occasion showing pure class.

T

The evening began at 7pm with people'rolling' up in limousines and classic cars, then-gathering in the lobby to mingle with friends before heading upstairs to introduce their partners to Br Wedd and Mr Sandri. This was followed by couples beginning to get their photo's taken by the very professional Mr MUlvey. Then it was into the dining room to be seated at the very nicely decorated tables and also for a predinner dance, to the funky tunes of DJ Jamie Gilkinson. At 8.30pm, dinner was served . It consisted of a smorgasbord of fine fruits and vegetables, succulent roast and superb side dishes. Dessert was saved for last. The dancing continued all night and when it was 1O.30pm the awards were given out. Overall, the night was a very pleasurable occasion and quite successful. Many thanks are extended to Mr Rose' Meyer for organising such a mammoth event, Mrs Cooney, Ms Griffiths, the entire Ball Committee and especially to the staff at the Sailing Club for their patience and hospitality.

Steven Delides and Tim Buckner enjoying Welcome Day.

M

y first day with Year 12 was a change from tradition. The Administration decided to bring in only the Year 8 and Year 12 students. The majority of the Year 8's were new to the school and needed the time to settle in and become familiar with the school. The Year 12's were to take on the role of senior students. To help them in this, John Willett gave a motivational talk on expectations, study and organisational skills. In retrospect, many benefited from this - many did not. The day ended with a sausage sizzle, the senior students mingling with the Year 8's - at least they attempted to. The finer details need to be improved for future years, however it was a good start to the year.

A week later we had an Information Evening for all Year 12 students and their parents. Our guest, Mr John Bednall, had a captivated audience as he spoke about the place for an all boys school in our society. This was followed by a very interesting and informative talk by Constable Olney on the dangers of drugs and alcohol. To all intents and purposes these events seemed to be a good start to the year and provided motivation to the Year 12's. Events that followed seemed to substantiate this . For the first time our Swimming Carnival was held at Challenge Stadium. The boys were seated in their four factions and the seniors showed good leadership qualities both in and out of the

pool. The participation in the pool was very competitive and the cheer squads more vocal than usual. There was also great desire for a number of the seniors to pose for photographs being taken by our very attractive and new Development Officer. On Saint Patrick's Day the Year 12's accepted an invitation from Br Wedd to join the staff for breakfast in the C;ollege hall. This was organised by Mrs Cooney and prepared by Mr Williams and his catering class. This proved to be very successful and is a practice that I hope will continue for many years to come. One of my aims this year was to bring about some change in the Senior Ball- introduce Ballroom 17

Dancing. To that end I organised a series of refresher dancing lessons conducted by Gilkison Dance Studios. Thirty couples volunteered to attend these lessons - the boys organising their own partners - and they became far more confident in both their dancing and social skills. During the night of the Ball we had approximately thirty percent Ballroom dancing and the general impression by most concerned was that it was a most enjoyable occasion. I'm sure the parents would have been very proud of the way in which their sons and daughters conducted themselves. The three twilight retreats held at Dadirri Biospiritual Centre gave all the students an opportunity for reconciliation, some skills in being able to solve some of their relationship problems and, in quite a few cases, the chance to experience the healing process in their own lives. Thanks for this must go

mainly to Ms Cooper and the rest of the RE support staff. During the July vacation five long term members of the senior Jazz Orchestra were given the opportunity to show their talents and leadership qualities on the North West Music Tour. The undoubted success of this tour was largely due to the part played by these boys. Well done thanks for your and contributions and service during the past years. I have been particularly impressed by the improvement, maturity and self assurance exhibited by a small group of Year 12's who embarked on the IN-STEP program under the capable supervision of Br Murray. These boys have been a credit to themselves, their parents and the school.

Basketball team ably led and captained by Andrew Musulin. This team ended Runners-Up, out of 150 schools, in the Coca Cola Classic Competition. Our congratulations to Andrew in particular for being selected as a representative in the All Australian School Boys' team to play in China at the end of this year. As I come to the end of my first year as Year 12 Coordinator I am reasonably happy with the way events have panned out. On the whole the boys have been a very energetic, fun loving group - at times excessively boisterous. But they have been good at heart. I wish them every success in their eXaIns and in their future endeavours in the work force. VIA CON DIOS.

It would be remiss of me not to

mention the great success of the SOURCE our senior

H EA D

BOY

We thank too the Christian Brothers who have given selfless service to us and the Catholic Community of Fremantle for nearly 100 years. We thank today's Brothers: Br Hacket, Br Murray and especially our Principal, Br Wedd for doing all they could to instill in us the spirit of Edmund Rice. We would also like to take this opportuni ty to congratulate you, Br Wedd, on your reappointment as Principal of CBC for the next three years.

e, the Graduates of '98 gather here tonight to recognise our commitment and achievement over the past twelve years. During this time many of our decisions have been made for us, but now we find ourselves at a crossroads, where we have to take on the responsibility of being in charge of our own lives as we choose between employment and further study.

W

Tonight is a ceremony where we are handed considerable independence: our passing from boyhood to adulthood, from having our daily lives controlled to being in control, while our parents offer their support. Primarily, it is up to us to plan our destiny. On this note, we would like to thank all our parents who have done so much for us over the past seventeen years: holding our hands and taking us to Kindy when we were toddlers; packing our lunches; making sure our uniforms were respectable enough to wear; driving us to sport and supporting us from the side lines; putting up with us when we chose to be difficult; for all the sacrifices you have made to give us a good education and to make ends meet. Often you have received very little gratitude for your labour of love. We thank you sincerely for all you have done for and been to us. This ceremony, tonight, represents a milestone for you too. You, together with the Christian Brothers and the lay staff have nutured in us our Catholic faith and ethos; you have used all your energies to make us decent and contributing members of society with sound morals and strong principles. We thank you sincerely for your love and support in the past. Now, please don't go into early retirement; it's going to be very tough over the next month as we go through our final preparation for our exams. We need you still.

We would like to thank all the following: the administration staff for all their background work that so often goes unnoticed; Mrs Carter and her canteen helpers for looking after our healthy appetites; all the teaching staff who have contributed their time and effort to help us during the various stages of our life at CBC; the library staff for their patience in helping us in our research work and chasing us up for overdue books and especially Ms Cooper who has always made time to listen to our problems with patience and compassion; Mrs Cooney for organizing our Rugby Jumpers, for the sale of chocolates for our Senior Ball and partiucularly for her guidance and counselling to those of us who needed it; Mr Sandri and Mr Cole for the day to day smooth running of the school and ensuring that we walk the smooth and narrow path. In particular we would like to thank our form teachers Mr Mulvey and Mr Tognolini for giving up so much of their time for us and our Year Level Coordinator, Mr Rose'Meyer, whose commitment to the school and his students is unquestioned. His strong faith and dedication have been an inspiration to all of us.

To one and all at CBC we thank you sincerely for planting and nuturing the seed of faith within us. We hope it has fallen on fertile soil and that in the years to come we will bear fruit. We trust that your efforts and ours will not be in vain. Finally, to the class of '98, I offer you sincere thanks for your help, cooperation and comradeship during the past years. We have enjoyed great success in our Swimming and Athletics Carnivals as we have also on the Football, Hockey and ¡Rugby fields and the achievements of our Basketball team - The Source. As we branch out into different paths in life, no matter where we are, I hope we will continue to share a comradeship with one another, stemming from our common bond of schooling at CBC Fremantle. Though we may not see each other for a long time, this bond of friendship will continue throughout life. I wish you a contented and fulfilling life. Each of us has our own destiny and we have to seek it. No one will hand it to us. In searching for our destiny let us refuse to join the cautious crowd that plays riot to lose. Let us play instead to win.

- Tim Casey (Head Boy)

n the early morning of the feast day of St Patrick, Tuesday 17th March, the Year 12 students gathered together along with various members of the staff to participate in the annual Year 12 breakfast.

Year 12 Graduation - Rory Halliwell (Runner Up to Dux) and Craig Gianoli (Dux o/the College).

The scrumptious breakfast was prepared by Mr Williams and his highly skilled Year 11 catering class. The breakfast consisted of several mouth watering components including scrambled eggs, cooked ham, croissants, baked beans, com, potatoes and peach slices. There was also plenty of apple and orange juices to quench our thirst. After saying grace, the students and staff sat together and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere away from the strains of the classroom. The hall was filled with conversation and laughter as students and staff shared thoughts.

Year 12 Graduation - Duane Partridge describes 1998 using a computer disk as a symbol.

The event was a tremendous success and was thoroughly enjoyed by all that took part. I am sure that this tradition will continue for many years as a time where students and staff can come together away from the normal routine of school life. A special thanks must be extended to Br Wedd for making the breakfast possible, Mr Williams and the catering boys for preparing the breakfast, and to Mrs Cooney for organising the event. - Jeremy DeCeglie & James Paratore (Yr 12)

Year 12 Graduation - Kenshi Wakamatsu performs his reflection on school days at CBC.

Year Eleven • In 1998 1998 BEGAN WIlli A BANG FOR MANY OF THE YEAR 11 STUDENTS. WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF TEE COURSES, MOST WERE FINDING IT DIFF1CULT TO ADJUST TO THE EXTRA STRESS AND PRESSURE THAT ACCOMPANIED YEAR SECONDARY

TO

11,

AND TO MAKE THE LEAP FROM LOWER UPPER

erms 1 and 2 were a learning experience for the Year 11 's in which we felt and explored our way into unfamiliar territory. By the end of semester one, and exams, most of the Year 11 's had made the transition into the upper school lifestyle and were coping well with their new subjects and res ponsibili ties.

T

The first major event was the Senior Ball in Term 2. This night was a new experience for the Year 11 's and a large amount of time and effort was placed into making the night as enjoyable as possible. According to Fabio Fusari, the highlight of the ball was "getting to dress up for a night and being around friends." Everbody is looking forward to the occassion in 1999.

Braemar House A

fter our induction course in the first week of Term 3, the six of us, Ben, Garth, Joseph, Steven, Stewart and Bryan were led by Mr Purcell and split into two groups, upstairs and downstairs. The first week was a briefing on what to do and expect. It sounded challenging and we were nervous but also excited to meet the residents of Braemar. We were looking forward to meeting the upstairs residents and listening to their life stories, and seeing the dementia patients and how we would handle interacting with them, as we were told it is quite difficult to talk with them. Steven, Stewart and Bryan had the downstairs area for the fIrst four weeks which was where the dementia patients resided. They gathered in an activity room for happy hour where we listened to music from decades ago, while dancing, watching TV, walking or just munching on some nibblies. We were not shocked by what we saw, instead we felt anxious and interested. We did however find it hard to think of things to say which would interest the residents. This proved easier as the weeks went by, and so did the task of reaching our primary aims which were; to bring some variety into their lives and to amuse them, not the other way around. After the first four weeks the groups swapped areas, with our group moving upstairs, free to roam around the elderly resident's rooms to look for someone to talk to. This was a pleasant change from the confinement of the downstairs area, as we could hold good conversations . with the individual people. All of the residents had stories to tell of their families, careers and travels, and many asked about our lives. The residents seemed to like it when they were taken for walks in the gardens surrounding the building. Recent research shows that people in old peoples homes lack vitamin D, which comes from the sun. By taking them for walks they received this and also a much needed change of scenery. All feelings of nervousness left us after spending a few weeks at Braemar and we found we got oQ. pretty well with the residents and staff. We got to meet many interesting people and when we were told that residents appreciated a simple conversation, it felt that we had achieved what we set out to do with a level of satisfaction.

or many years now at CBC Fremantle, the Religious Education department has been organizing retreats for the various year groups. These retreats are for the students to take time out of school and think about God and to see if he is a part of their lives, and what they can do to be closer with God. The retreats go for 2 days and the people involved are giving advice to young people about God, sexuality, drugs and the need for individuality.

Half the Year 11 's spent the first day at Tompkin Park with the Disciples Youth Mission Team. This is a group of eight men and women who has taken a year out to teach students about God and their individuality. They made the day very interesting and fun by playing various games with us and performing dramas that made us think about our lives and how to relate closer with God. The other half of the Year 11 's stayed at school and had two guest speakers. The first was a lady from an organization that goes around to schools and talks to students about sexuality. The next speaker, in the afternoon, talked to us about drugs and how to keep them in control. The middle part of the day was spent at Notre Dame University where students were taken on a tour and shown around the campus. This concluded the retreat and we were left with a lot of valuable experiences that hopefully, in the future we can teach others.

&f AUTONOMOUS PR.ODUCTfONS

written and directed by Malcolm Rock

Was it what you expected? We hope not! Was it a shock to your system? We hope so! "Driven Thru" was perfonned on the 18th and 19th of September to an eager and surprised audience. But what was "Driven Thru?" Many were able to establish that it was a play, a play written and performed by students from CBC Fremantle, North Lake and Seton College - but not much else was revealed until opening night. "Driven Thru" is the complex story of the final part of the 'free' lives of three people - the Lonny Burger employee, the anatomic pathologist and the radio DJ people who are criticised and

ridiculed due to their lives and jobs. After many hours of rehearsals, advertising, preparation, designing, building and the added (and helpful) distribution of radio interviews and script recordings, a performance of "Driven Thru" was accomplished. The small, extremely talented and inspirational cast and crew of nine - Robert Anthony, Stewart Bovell, Kathleen Byrt, Benjamin Khoo, David Foley, James Foley, Adriana Ravlich, Duncan Rock and Malcolm Rock

- created "Driven Thru" with intensity and energy, from scratch (with little help from the 'outside world') a play spawned from the mind of Malcolm Rock. We were happy that the performance was very well received by most, making an enjoyable evening for those who attended. Stay tuned for something completely different...

s the year kicked off, the Physical Education classes were learning all about life saving and resuscitation with the whole of first term spent earning Bronze Medallions. Sports played in PE throughout the year included rugby, basketball and waterpolo. During periods six and seven on Friday afternoons we had sport and played games such as, softball, speedball, basketball, soccer, squash, baseball and beach games. This wasn't a bad way at all to finish off a week of hard work.

In science we have been alternating between different science subjets; chemistry, biology and energy. This was to get an idea of what science subjects we could do in Year 11. As part of the energy class, an excursion (yay!) to Kwinana Power Station was compulsory

(not that we minded) to learn about how the station works. At the beginning of Term 3 the Year 10' s spent several weeks deciding future careers and selecting appropriate subjects. Choosing the path affected the rest of our lives and definitely wasn't an easy decision for anyone (damn it - we're only 15!) 1998's Year 10's complete the school year with; great excitement for the summer holidays; the exhilarating feeling of becoming a senior student in 1999; memories of fellow students who will leave CBC this year; and still wondering about the seagull. - Raymond Chiu (lOA)

This year's program ran similarly to last year, but students were given information on illicit drugs. Once again, Michelle French and John Bluntschli, who both work for a drug counselling agency based in Fremantle called Palmers ton, facilitated the event. The majority of the day was spent in a wide-open room at the venue, where Ms French and Mr Bluntschli were able to interact easily with the students.

Both seemed very interested in what the students had to say which made it a very open atmosphere. Many of the students were willing to speak and listen to what was being presented, their cooperation allowing the day to run smoothly. The school is placing a heavy emphasis on the subject of drugs and this is just one of a number of programs aimed at providing the students with the essential details and facts about drugs. Staff who attended the Workshop were satisfied with the results, making special mention of the excellent ,level of participation and positive behaviour displayed by the boys on the day. The feedback from the students suggests that they enj oyed the outing. - Jamie Ellis (tOe) 41

n Friday the 21 st of July the Year 9's, a few Year 8's and a couple of Year 1O's went to a social with the Year 9 Santa Maria girls. The dance started at 7.30pm and from then on it was great. There was dancing everywhere and about half way through we had supper. After that there was a Limbo competition and a few other games. The night was fun; good music and great girls. Although it was mostly dancing, a couple of lucky people got a kiss or two! All in all it ¡ was a thouroughly enjoyable night.

1998 WITNESSED TWO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE YEAR 9 CO-CURRICULUM WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF DANCING LESSONS AND A NEW CAMP FORMAT.

D

ancing lessons have been traditionally part of the Year 10 co-curriculum, but this year lona Presentation College initiated the change to Year 9. CBC apprehensively followed with the concern that Year 9 boys may not have the maturity or the coordination required. Every Friday afternoon of term two, the overwhelming scent of deodorant filled the corridors and the boys were bused to lona College. As the weeks went by, it became apparent that the Year 9 boys were more than capable of the many dances taught and only the courage to choose partners needed some work. On the final Friday, at the Graduation Social, most of the boys managed to overcome their shyness and enjoyed a great night of dancing.

For the first time in several years, the whole Year nine group attended the one camp. Ninety five boys stayed at Forest Edge Campsite, near Waroona Dam for four days and three nights. The boys were very keen and eager to take part in the adventurous activities which included abseiling, climbing a pamper pole, horse riding and completing the incentive course as well as the many fun activities such as skiing, raft building, and swimming. Some boys managed to do some fishing and

marroning as well. Even though a stomach virus made several boys very sick on the final night, the camp was a great success and will be remembered by all involved. The commendable conduct of the Year 9 boys made the implementation of these two major changes successful and ensures the continuation of these events for the Year 9's in 1999.

he year nine camp this year was held at the Forest Edge Recreation Camp, Waroona. We arrived at the camp at around II.OOam Tuesday lOth February.

T

When we arrived we had a ten minute meeting where we had to hand in lollies for prizes. After that we were assigned dorms. Then we had lunch and moved off to our activities. First my group had abseiling/ rock climbing. Some of us took some time to get down the first time but got confident and breezed through the second. At the end of abseiling we had a go at air-rifles. I was surprised at how good some people were one boy hit a Jaffa. I wasn't very good at that but enjoyed it just the same. Following the activities we headed back for dinner. When

we had finished eating we had a games night - what a laugh. In my favourite game we had to push a potato along the ground using our noses. After games we went to sleep.

biscuits were cool , but we really messed up on raft building. The group caught the bus back to camp but there wasn't enough room so we squeezed ten people into Mr Van Dongen's car. When we got back we had horse riding which was really hot because we had to wear long pants. Then we did boomerang making . After dinner we watched two movies: "Liar Liar" and "Dumber and Dumber." A lot of boys were sick that night including myself.

In the morning Mr Murphy woke us up at 6.00am for morning exercise, talk about tiring. Then we had breakfast and moved off for activities. First my group had Big Fox, which is a huge flying fox. After lunch we had the incentive course. That's a long walk with obstacles to pass. Also we had to watch out for other groups In the morning we got up at ambushing us with mud pies. 6.00am again for aerobics, but When we got to the dam we I didn't do it because I was put up the tent and I went still sick. After breakfast we fishing but didn't catch a had Pamper Pole, but I stayed thing. at camp. Then it was time to clean up and go home. The next morning we had ski biscuits and raft building.

The Wonders of Nature The sun, the tree, the large blue sea The birds move freely as they fly along The kookaburra minds his own business And sings his song The cat strolls along, cautious of his surroundings The crow flies looking for a landing The horse eats his hay standing on the ground The tiger prowls around on all four paws The elephant swings his trunk high in the air A creature runs around, a white funky hore The tree stands straight, green and still Until a logger comes along ready for the kill The fish swims swiftly flapping its tail As a creature slides slowly, it can only be a sn,ail The town is evacuated as a volcano erupts A huge big roar as an avalanche corrupts A river flows peacefully through the valley and mountains A waterfall comes down like a natural fountain These animals and other wonderful things Are part of the miracle that nature brings - Clynton Antanio (8D)

FOUR STREAMS OF APPROXIMATELY TWENTY-EIGHT STUDENTS PER CLASS.

As

YEAR LEVEL COORDINATOR THIS HAS BEEN AN

INTERESTING AND CHALLENGING SCHOOL YEAR AS

I

HAVE TRIED TO

GET TO KNOW EACH STUDENT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

ne of the real benefits of a smaller school is that students can be treated as people rather than 'just as numbers.' As in any community, problems do arise and these can be dealt with more effectively if we are familiar and comfortable with each other. Nowhere is this more evident than in the relationship with the Form teacher. This year we have been most fortunate to have very professional, efficient and truly caring Year 8 Form teachers.

O

As I look back over what has been a memorable year I am delighted with the achievements of our Year 8's in 1998. I have

seen students succeed academically, in sporting competitions (both in and out of school), in public speaking, in music activities and many other areas.

Santa Maria Colleges; RE/ Confirmation Retreats; English Speaking Board; Edmund Rice Day; Family Day and many other activities and functions.

Some of the highlights of For Year 8 students, starting Year 8 this year have afresh at high school can be included: Parent Information a daunting prospect. They Night; Study Skills need to feel that they are in a VVorkshop; Troubadour place where they are Theatre; Junior Assemblies; welcomed, accepted and able Interschool Sports to achieve their full potential. Competitions; 3 Full-day I'd like to think that CBC Excursions - Zoo, Fremantle Fremantle Year 8 is such a Prison, Law Centre, Tenpin place.

y first day at high school was

really great. We were firstly split up into our classes and I thought my class was really good. We were given our timetable to write out in our diary's - this took a lot of time. Then Mrs Cooney showed us the office which was very large.

After recess different teachers got us familiar with the College showing us the Practical Arts building and the Library. , Then our sport teacher, Mr Barron gave us a leaflet to look at about the PE and Sport we would be doing. At lunch we had a sausage sizzle with the Year 12's. We had a sausage in a roll, a coke can, a packet of chips and watermelon. Then that was the end of the day and we had to go home at 1.30pm. That day was really great because the Years 9, 10 and 11 students were not there and we hardly did any work. Even though we had to wear uniform it was a great day. - Gary Burch (SA) 53

StuBt On February 17, all the Year 8 ' s from CBC Fremantle went to the N oalimba Recreation Centre in Bateman for a Study Skills Workshop Day. The facilitator was Mr John Willett, from Jolin Consultancy. Mr Willett, spent many years in schools and is very experienced in running Study Skills Workshops. The main emphasis of the day was on time management - ie. all aspects of our lives at this stage: homework, study, sport and leisure time. With proper organization and planning, and the motivation to succeed, we can manage all of these activities without undue stress. During the year, with the assistance of our form teachers, and Mrs Cooney, we will be practicing some of the skills that Mr Willett highlighted for us. We will continue with this program in Years 9 and 10. Hopefully, by the time we get to upper school we will be self-motivated achievers. This is the third year the Study Skills program has been operating at CBC Fremantle and the present Year lO's, who have been serious about the program, are already reaping the rewards academically.

As part of the Year 8 program, the Year 8 boys went on an excursion to Perth Zoo. The date was June the 4th and unfortunately turned out to be wet and soggy. The rain started and didn't stop the whole day, but the day was interesting and was enjoyed by all. The animals were very wet too. Some of them were under shade or in their caves. The new under-water exhibit was still under construction, but it is still a good one when you see the 5m crocodile. The African and Australian exhibit was also a great walk. The Australian one was a bit lengthy, but was worth it when the kangaroos came up to be patted. The dingoes made themselves scarce, only corning out when it was dry. The African Savannaha was interesting too but unfortunately the animals were so far away that we could not see them. All in all it was a good day that was appreciated by all.

To HAVE

O

I have a great deal of pleasure in reporting that two students have achieved the necessary Very High (VH) assessment results in all of their work, to be put forward to the Curriculum Council as contenders for Subject Exhibitions in 1998. Whether they are successful in their bid is secondary. To be able to work at a VH level throughout the year, is on its own a great accolade. Very well done to Andrew Chin and Timothy Buckner. I wish you success with your submission to the Curriculum Council for recognition of your excellence measured against the rest of your peers in WA.

problems in: languages, exchange rates, scheduling, geography, time differences, food, local transport, customs and immigration requirements, as well as health. They have also been successful in making email connections with many students living in countries their 'visit' will take them to. The success of such a wide project can be best judged by their eagerness to get started each session and points to the lack of boundaries in the classrooms of a modern technology school such as CBC.

Meanwhile our Year 11 students have been working their way through the Personal Information Technology (PIT's) unit. A buzz for a number of them has been their involvement with Miss Griffiths, the school's Development Officer who has been a great resource for them as they developed a new school web page. This can be found at http:// www.harvestroad.com.aul Year 9 students have also -cbcfreo.

in lab 207 upgraded to the Win9501S. Throughout the year our internet access times have been excellent across the site and this has been achieved by some clever linking to our ISP at a very affordable cost. the school has also appointed a full time (as opposed to previously 2 days per week) technician and network support person, Mr Ian Threlfo. This reflects the rapid growth of the CBC network and the necessity of support. When I get time to look back, it is quite amazing that all of this grew from the purchase of 28 133mhz machines just two years ago, which we linked peer to peer with 10mb coaxial cable and a feed link (that I strung up one weekend!) from the lab to a server in my office. We now have a potentially 100mb LAN on a fibre optic backbone throughout the school. What does the school motto say? Tradition. Innovation. Achievement. I for one agree.

I also spent time at Melville Toyota where I was involved in minor servicing, general servicing, changing head gaskits, replacing parts for manual gearboxes, removing and refitting tailshafts.

Our daily activities included completing a few nationally accredited TAFE modules; many field trips to hotels, including the Hyatt, Rydges, Parmelia, Hilton, Duxton, Sheraton and many more. These visits included hands on activities such as switch board operation and special guests. All of this helped us immensely with the development of our life skills as well as all of our job seeking skills. The highlight of the course was the [mal day where we conducted a Mocktail Function for the INSTEP Coordinators and Parents. This was a huge success and finished off the year extremely well.

I hope that the opportunity to improve my automotive skills through the INSTEP program will enhance my opportunities of gaining an apprenticeship in 1999.

To this day I have never looked back on my decision to choose INSTEP Plus.

D

URING 1998 GIFrED MATHEMATICS STUDENTS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF MANY OPPORT~TIES TO DISPLAY THEIR ABILITIES. A NUMBER OF STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE AUSTRALIAN MATHEMATICS AWARDS

AND THE HAVE SUM FUN COMPETITION MANY ACHIEVING EXCELLENT RESULTS

During August the Australian Mathematics Awards were held at the school. From Years 8 to 12 there were 196 students who sat for the test. There were some excellent results attained from the following students:

The Have Sum Fun Competition is run throughout the State by the Mathematics Association. The competition runs North and South of the River for both Upper Secondary and Lower Secondary students. The night consists of a series of puzzles on which students work with each other to solve. In March CBC Fremantle was placed a very creditable 5th out of 32 in the Lower Secondary and 9th out of 33 in Upper Secondary. These are the best results that CBC has ever had.

LANGUAGES AND COMMUNICATIONS

department report

THIS YEAR MANY THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE TO CONTINUE WITH THE GOOD WORK FROM 1997 IN THE LANGUAGES AND COMMUNICATIONS

This excursion was organised by Mrs McCann and Mr Stack.

DEPARTMENT. THE CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY THE STAFF IN DEALING WITH THE DAY-TO-DAY WORK HAVE BEEN EXCELLENT.

W

e have also been busy preparing for the inevitable changes to education that are coming with the new Common Assessment Framework courses and the advent of the Curriculum Framework. During the year, several Department members attended Professional Development courses and undertook study courses to prepare to deal with these changes. We in the communications area welcome the changes as we believe that the resulting emphasis upon what students can do rather than what they should be able to do will help reinforce the emphasis that we have always placed upon the process of education. To improve our own processes, in 1998 we introduced a support teacher system for each class in the lower-school. This gave us great flexibility in our teaching and programming for students. The support teacher worked with the classroom teacher's program to aid those students with particular needs.

The arrangements allowed for the classroom and support teacher to negotiate what best suited the class's needs. Sometimes, this meant that the support teacher would begin a unit of work for the whole class; at other times the class was separated into different groups whilst one of the teachers reviewed a particular concept with those who needed it. Another advantage was that students were exposed to different teaching styles within the subject. This was an interesting experience for the teachers involved too; and the positive energy that results will probably be displayed in their own future teaching practices.

During terms three and four, students from years eight and ten participated in the English Speaking Board Examinations and this year the results were excellent. The teachers involved in preparing for this activity did a very thorough job. Certainly, the response to student performances from the examiners was very positive and indicated that there is plenty of speaking talent in this group of students. My thanks go to Mr Stack, Mr Searle, Mr Rees, Mr Purcell and Mrs McCann for their work in ensuring that the event ran smoothly and successfully.

PRACTICAL ARTS department report

THE PRACTICAL ARTS DEPARTMENT REMAINS VERY POPULAR WITH THE STUDENTS.

IN

THE FURNITURE WOODWORK CLASSES SOME VERY FINE

FURNITURE PIECES HAVE BEEN PRODUCED AS WELL AS A COUPLE OF ELECTRIC

GUITARS, MANUFACTURED FROM EXOTIC WOOD SUCH AS AMERICAN MAPLE AND SOUTH AFRICAN YELLOW WOOD.

n Lower School the students have been very industrious and have made great use of three new Woodlathes, thanks to the P&F Association.

I

In the Metalwork area the students have continued to expand their skill base by using the new MIG Welders (ideal for making coffee tables out of tube). Brass and Copper sheet has been introduced and many a fine clock has been manufactured out of these materials. With the introduction of a new computer drawing package and two new A3 printers the students have been using the skills learnt on the traditional T-Square and Table to good use. Air brush painting has also been introduced to make graphics more interesting.

The catering classes continue to produce delightful culinery dishes which for some reason never seem to make it home. The Food Production classes have had a very busy year helping out with many school activities. Much work has gone into planning the upgrade of the PracticalArts Building which will see the Meta1workroomrelocated downstairs next to theWoodwork room and the Home Economics/ Catering room located upstairs. There will also be a graphics room and an electronics/model making room located on the first floor. Work is due to start November 1999.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION department report As THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR (HOPEFULLY THE FIRST OF MANY) AT CBC FREMANTLE, PERHAPS A FEW NOTES ON MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS WOULD

BE

APPROPRIATE.

The first thing I noticed about CBC was the family and communal spirit and ethos that permeated the school environs. The dedication and enthusiasm of the staff was a significant feature of the atmosphere. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all for making my transition to CBC not just a painless experience but also a rewarding one. In addition the way in which staff, with the support of the administration, show their awareness of what the RE department sets out to achieve by making the appropriate sacrifices needs to be mentioned and acknowledged. The commitment and faith 'full'ness of the staff directly involved in the teaching of RE was not only a revelation but also an ongoing source of inspiration. Thank you all - Mrs Cooney, Ms Lenzo, Mr Purcell, Br Hackett, Br Murray, Mr McNamee, Mr Rose'Meyer, Mr Cole, Ms Cooper and Mr Sandri. The range and depth of experience amongst the RE teaching staff ensures that all

Special Ministers:

students in all years have a wonderful opportunity to learn more about and understand more fully the Catholic faith. Outside the RE classroom students can avail themselves of numerous other religious experiences/activities - thanks to the efforts of staff. Year Coordinators organize leaving paraliturgies; Mrs Tandy and Mr Stengel are 'instrumental' in making many musical things happen (as is our visiting singing specialist Br Vince Basile); form teachers collect mission monies, which Mrs Flexman coordinates as well as other mission enterprises; without the Year 8 form teachers the Year 8 retreat would be impossible to organise; Br Hackett ensures that Christian Service operates smoothly; Mr Purcell whips up enthusiasm for Amnesty International and so on and so on.

The wonderful diversity of the liturgical life of the school owes much to Ms Lenzo. From the opening mass, paraliturgies, orgamzmg reconciliation, preparing candidates for confirmation, the Edmund Rice Day and Family Day masses her work is never ending and her efforts are tireless. On behalf of all of us, thank you. I also found that the boys themselves contribute positively to the ethos of the College. Their constructive and active participation during retreat days and the singing at the Edmund rice Day mass were two things that I found particularly extraordinary and uplifting. Another thing that impacted on me was the innate spirituality shown by the boys. When they were able to cast off the baggage of an overly materialistic/ consumer driven and

63


machismoic/ chauvinistic society their reflections and questions showed evidence of a strong desire for more knowledge (about God) .

Year 11 & 12 students perform a skit about the life of Edmund Rice before Mass.

.The efforts many of our boys make in this regard bode well for our society in future years, and they should be encouraged in their efforts. Special thanks must go to the student Eucharistic M~nisters who help at school liturgical functions. Their efforts help model one way of positive involvement for youth in the formal church. This year I have also been encouraged by the interest shown by parents in functions/ activities emphasising the religious-spiritual dimension of the school and I pray that this continues and grows stronger in years to come. Thank you all for a wonderful year.

HAS BEEN A HUGE BOOST.

ANOTHER

PLEASING ASPECT HAS BEEN THE CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT OF LEADERSlllP, PARTICIPATION, AND QUALITY OF STUDENT INVOLVEMENT IN SCHOOL EVENTS AS WELL AS REPRESENTING THE SCHOOL IN THE COMMUNITY. IT IS TERRIFIC TO OFTEN HEAR POSITIVE COMMENTS FROM MANY PEOPLE I COME INTO CONTACT WITH ABOUT HOW ENTHUSIASTIC, POSITIVE AND FRIENDLY OUR BOYS ARE COMPARED TO MANY OTHER SCHOOL GROUPS.

A

ll our boys, especially many senior students should be very proud of the slowly changing culture of the students in PE and Sport at CBC Fremantle. This culture encourages a 'have a go attitude' no matter how good or bad you are. One of the aims in the Department is to make sport and recreation fun and something that students will want to be involved in during and after they

leave school. A large majority of students now encourage each other which makes participation more enjoyable for all students. Throughout the year students have participated in Interhouse competitions in Swimming, Athletics, Cross Country and Biathlon as well as traditional sports in years 8 to 10 house sport including Cricket, Tennis, Softball, Baseball, Football,

Soccer, Hockey, Gaelic Football, Basketball, Touch Rugby, Squash and Beach games.

his year the school had its Intra Swimming Carnival at the Challenge Stadium Indoor Pool. This was a successful venue due to no sunburn problems, plenty of seats and a timing system that showed results immediately on the scoreboard. The program gave strong and weak swimmers a chance to SWIm in championship races or novelty races. The determination and camaraderie shown by the students was pleasing to see, especially the cheering lead by the enigmatic Mr Wenn.

The day was completed by the traditional staff vs students relay. Once again super fish Br Hackett blew the boys away with a sub 28 second, 50m freestyle, but unfortunately, the remainder of the staff were unable to hold off the charge from the talented student teams. Training has already begun for the event next year - by the look of some of the staff specimens they had been doing too much of another kind of training! OVERALL RESULTS:

athletics carnival

he new customary venue for our intra-school athletics carnival, Perry Lakes, once again provided perfect conditions for the day. Having the carnival during August can be a gamble but warm, sunny conditions provided staff and students with the right environment for some excellent performances.

T

Many state schools have now done away with their school Athletics and Swimming carnivals due to poor student participation. Even some so called premier sports schools have only 60-70% student participation. The fact that we had 93% actual physical participation at the carnival says a lot about our students and

importantly parent commitment. Most of the students who where injured or ill, helped staff at various events. The 'have a go' culture of our students should be encouraged and is becoming a unique part of CBC Fremantle. The 8 event format including; 100m, 200m, 800m, shot putt, discus, long jump, javelin and games, was continued this year allowing all students to experience a variety of events. Each student competed in all events with their time or distance being scored and added to the student's house and champion boy results. The day ended with the annual staff vs students relay.

f the efforts of the Senior basketball team were to be described in one word, that word would be AWESOME!

Without doubt the secret ofCBC's success needs to be captured and bottled, but what in essence was it? Some have suggested the specific no training pact entered into by the team. Others suggest it was the choice of bus drivers who helped create the right ambience for victory (thank you Mr Sandri, Mr Rose'Meyer and most especially Mr Searle). Perhaps it was the name - The Source - selected after much heated, laborious and inane discussion. Or was it as simple as the camaraderie, dedication and gradual growth in confidence of the seven basketball enthusiasts who enjoyed playing the game to the best of their ability. Any team who has players of the calibre of: Jon Temby - hard working and naturally aggressive, John De Brito - a defensive titan, Steve Erceg - a rebounding ace, especially defensively, Steven Tucker and John Soares - fast, full court running players, Daniel Moreschi - great vision and hands, skilful, a driving force, Andrew Musulin strength, know ledge, presence, keyway dominance; is bound to succeed. Support players, Duane Partridge and Andrew Lang also contributed strongly when they took to to the court.

CBC dispatched Corpus Christi, Thomlie, La Salle and Woodvale. Andrew was chosen as one of the AllStars for the whole competition during this stage.

In the first stage of the Coca-Cola Basketball Senior Classic (the premier basketball competition in WA for school teams) the Source finished with a 5-1 win-loss record. In the Harbour League CBC were the top side offensively and both Daniel and Andrew were given All-Star Status (Daniel was voted MVP for CBC). The second stage was knockout in nature and on the way to the [mal

CBC's opponents in the final were the team who had won the competition in each of the previous six seasons (in fact in the 11 years of the competition, they had won 8 times), Willetton SHS. Despite losing 74-61 we were competitive and came away with many admirers. No other team had come within fifteen points ofWilletton in the whole competition. This was CBC's best performance in this competition since winning it way back in 1990. Two games, apart from the final, really stand out. One was the 34 point thrashing of Thornlie. On that particular day the Source was simply brilliant. They were imaginative, creative and deadly in both defence and offence. The other game was the semifinal when CBC were at their most dogged. They fought on with sheer guts and determination to beat Woodvale (a basketball scholarship school) by a single point, thanks to a three pointer on the buzzer. A big thank you to all involved with the season, but especially Mr Barron, Mr Searle, Lucas Lang (umpire and specialist finals coach) and particularly to the players, the Magnificent Seven, the Source.

QUIT CUP

football

he 1998 Quit Cup campaign for CBC Fremantle consisted of only four scheduled games unless we were to make the finals. Unfortunately we only managed to win one game, which was our last match of the season against South Fremantle Senior High School, which we won In a very comfortable manner.

T

We put in a good display in all the matches - we lost to Rossmoyne by four goals, to Willetton by three points and to Hamilton Hill by 2 points. So considering the population of our school compared to the schools we competed against, we put in a mighty effort.

Some of the more consistent players through the season included Matthew Henwood, Ronan Cassin and Chad Rankin , wi th some players who played a few standout games including J amyn Carey, Daniel O ' Hara and Mitchell Cornell. Special thanks must go to our coach, Br Wedd, our team manager, Mr Wenn and all the runners, waterboys and other students who helped out during the season .

CHANNEL 7CUP football

he Channel 7 Cup campaign for 1998 was a very successful one. At the start of the competition 120 schools were involved and CBC managed to get into the top eight by the end of the competition. The boys played eight games in all, winning the fIrst four quite comfortably.

T

Following these games we faced the winner of the other pool, Cecil Andrews High and managed to win by a margin of fifteen points which was a great effort. After this game we headed down to Williams to play against Kojonup. The trip was great fun with food and drink supplied and this year Mr Wenn even decided to take the correct route to Williams, and we were all thankful for that! We played with great enthusiasm to beat Kojonup by a couple of goals. Our next game was against Corpus Christi and was played at East Fremantle Oval. We had lots of support from parents and coaching staff, however after a great amount of effort we ended up losing by 20 points. With a better losing percentage than another school we progressed into the last eight schools in the competition. We came up against Trinity, totally dominating in the first half and then Trinity came out, guns blazing to quickly close the gap. The lead changed a number of times and we eventually lost the game by two points.

In all it was a lot of fun and all the boys enjoyed themselves. On behalf of all the boys I would like to thank Mr Murphy for coaching and Mr Wenn for helping out with everything. - Leigh Martin (Captain)

998, man has taken on a new form. A large individual and the emergence of well toned, muscled bodies, seemingly never-ending in their search for absolute perfection. CBC calls this man the First XV Rugby Player. Coached (rumoured to be immortal) by a man that sees no boundaries, no barriers and also an all round good bloke, Mr Don "King Wally" McNamee. The backs, who are untouched and sometimes (if the light is right) seem to shine on the field are led with speed, strength and agility unknown to man, passing, sidestepping and twisting their way to the try line which appears to be always close at hand. Forwards, now these are the tough and tom creatures that work all the time with strength more of a ruthless bear than that of a lowly human. These beasts can be heard by spectators with a roar and crunching bones in their quest for total dominance and obedience from opposition team players.

CBC has never witnessed a rugby team such as this before, nay, may the writer say (with little modesty) has the world. Strength from players such as Thomas Trolio, Robert Keane, Anthony Stone and Paul McGuckin. Speed from James Stone, Ronan Cassin, Andrew Howes and Kenshi Wakamatsu and who could forget our very own J ayrnn "Raging Bull" Carey, whose powerful and precise kicking has won the day many a time. The universe needs no superstars such as Joana Lomu and Mal Maniga, when we have all the ambition, skill, and total perfection in our 'God-like' team right here at CBC Fremantle.

Year 8 Premiership Team - CHS Competition.

T

he Year 9's had the best Rugby season ever. It was hard at first because some of the players were inexperienced, but after a while they improved.

T

he Year 8 Rugby season was a blast. Mr McNamee and Miss Griffiths lead us right through the year undefeated, the team winning most games by more than 15 points.

We played All Saints in the CHS finals. We played very well, beating them 21-5 with the whole team putting in one hundred and one percent. We also won the lO-aside competition. This is the best performance CBC has ever had and we hope to do just as well next season.

Year 9 Captain, Greg Dowse collects the Premiership Shield.

The whole team put in a great effort but some stand out players like Mark Blinco (centre), Matt Bourke (full-back), Murray Bembrick (half-back), John Galvin (wing) and Andrew Shepherd (wing) helped the game get started. These players were great but the whole team was brilliant and this was proved in the Grand Final when we won 27 to 5. Special thanks to Mr Bond who helped train the Backs and also thanks to the parents and friends who supported the players.

On behalf of the team, I would like to thank Mr McNamee, for coaching and all his help, Mrs O'Neill for being a great manager (and cheerleader) and all the players for doing such a great job.

ome fine young talent emerged in 1998 including Erik Surjan, Nelson Serrao and Joseph Princi. The leadership of James Paratore (Captain), Fabio Fusari (Vice-Captain), Michael Tripi, Scott Tate and Laurie Raguseo provided the backbone of the team. This year also witnessed the loss of many valuable players such as David Onoforo, who is currently training with the AIS in Canberra. As a result, many new players took the opportunity to showcase their skills and unbridled passion for the game of soccer.

CBC played 6 regular season games and 2 exhibition games against visiting nations. We began the season on a high with a narrow defeat at the hands of our nearby rivals and reigning division champions, John Curtin. After demolishing Winthrop, we slogged out a 2-2 draw with Gosnells. A depleted squad fought bravely against Corpus but lost narrowly. We lost our last two games but I believe that the team would have achieved much more had it been at full strength for the whole season. the continued With redevelopment of the squad and the emergence of new talent, I feel the team can take the next step and make it to the finals in 1999.

he slalom kayaking season on the Avon River started in June. Day trips to the river were made each weekend and the first camp was held at Walyunga on the last weekend of Term two. Shaun Nunn and Paul Migro entered the State Slalom Championships and gained second and third in the Under 18 B Division. This was an excellent result considering it was the first time that they had raced in this level of competition.

Shaun Nunn - CEC Fremantle Paddler of the Year.

Our second camp was at Bridgetown on the Blackwood River. The highlight of this trip was a 7km down river paddle through many testing rapids. Ten students from Years 8, .9 and 10 competed in the CBC Slalom Championships at Walyunga on Sunday 16 August. The year champions were Paul Migro - Year 10, David Foley - Year 9 and Luke Moelands - Year 8. The Paddler of the Year award went to Shaun Nunn for his performance in the State Championships, his high level of fitness and paddling skill, and his willingness to tackle anything on the water. - Mr Sylvester Stack

n Term 4 the Herbert Edwardes Cup, a State Tennis Competition was held for all Year 8 and 9 students. CBC Fremantle was represented and performed admirably, especially considering that only one of our boys had played competitively before. Their first match was held at Mosman Park Tennis Club against Ursula Frayne. The match was marred by rain and wind, however CBC won comfortably by 5 matches to 1.

The boys met Guildford Grammer (whose team included State players) in the second match. The boys tried valiantly but succumbed to more experienced opposition. They lost 6 matches to 0, but learnt much from the challenge.

n Term 4 an Open State Tennis Competition, the Murcell Sheild was held. The same boys that won the Division 2 competition last year represented CBC Fremantle in Division 1 this year. They played extremely well, but lost to the eventual winners of the competition 4 matches to 2. The final two doubles went to three sets, however both were lost in tiebreakers.

MUSIC PARENTS GROUP

annual report

1998 HAS ONCE AGAIN PROVEN TO BE AVERY PRODUCTIVE AND SUCCESSFUL YEAR

FOR THE MUSIC PROGRAMME AT CBC FREMANTLE.

t never ceases to impress me. A small but dedicated Music Staff manage to instill so much dedication and enthusiasm in our young musicians thus manifesting itself in an outstanding exhibit of talent and professionalism.

I

There is no doubt that we are all concerned and interested in our sons' academic development. It is important to us as parents to see our boys succeed in their studies and achieve their goals. To guide and help them avoid a repeat of mistakes we may have made when we were their age. However, how many of us so often overlook or underrate the creative development of our sons through the arts. It is a fact that music can be a marvellous relief value from the daily pressures experienced by our sons. To play an instrument for a while will often provide a distraction from the worries and maybe even open the door to their creative side. This I believe can be an important contributor to their social and character development. Learning the value of commitment by undertaking to join a band or ensemble. Building confidence in oneself by dealing with the often daunting task of performing in public either as a

soloist or band/ensemble member. Being part of a team. Essential components of character development!! I believe our Music Department has managed to achieve much of this as evidenced in this years highlights for the Music Parents Group.

Catholic Schools Performing Arts Festival With over 15000 Catholic school students participating in this premier event, CBC Fremantle was once again represented with pride and distinction by the following individuals, ensembles and bands. CBC Jazz Orchestra - due to a technicality in the rules, the Jazz Orchestra was ineligible for any awards. Being fully aware of this unfortunate fact, the boys still performed like true professionals and were rewarded with an adjudication that reflected the highest ever recorded score (10.75 out of a possible 11) for a jazz band in this festivaL Well Done Guys!! Jazz Guitar Ensemble - This group of young men was a credit to the school, teachers and indeed themselves, having received an Honourable mention for their performance.

Saxophone Ensemble - It seems that every school now has a saxophone ensemble, the 'Barbershop Quartet' of instrumental music. Against some very talented, but none the less welcome competition, our boys were well rewarded with an Honourable mention for their superb effort. Soloists - Our soloists were again amongst the forefront of the competition, all having achieved some magnificent adjudications. Such results only emphasize the quality of the Music Programme at CBC and indeed the students themselves. Congratulations and well done to James Foley (Piano solo), Lukian Poleschtschuk (Piano 81


solo), Gian Jaramillo (Trombone solo), Peter Harvey (Trumpet solo - Hon. Mention), Adam Harvey (Saxophone solo - Hon. Mention). York Jazz Festival We were there! In fact, this was the second visit to York this year (by invitation the Jazz Orchestra and Sax Ensemble performed at the Heritage Inne several weeks before the Jazz Festival) . Having spent two days in the town, the boys attracted large crowds to their performances at several venues throughout the weekend. This quaint country town came alive, particularly on Saturday night when the boys put on an impromptu concert in the main street. What was a deserted street was soon crowded within minutes of the band firing up. People seemed to come from nowhere.

To top off the weekend, the Jazz Orchestra won second place in the Schools Band Competition. Only one point separated the winners, Hale School, from CBC. A top effort from our boys who faced some very tough competition indeed.

I

.

Music Festival Another success story, and certainly a credit to the students and staff of CBC. In contrast to diminishing audiences of recent years, this year it was necessary to open the top stalls in the Fremantle Town Hall. A large and appreciative audience was treated to a smorgasbord of talent including our special guests, The St Patrick's Year Seven Choir. It was magnificent to see the support this event received from the students who

participated, many for the first time. Special thanks to the staff, committee members and parents who assisted on the night. Without your help, such events would be impossible to stage. North West Tour Without doubt the major project for the Music Parents Group this year was to assist with the organization and funding of a North West tour for the Jazz Orchestra and Saxopho~e Ensemble.

Several years have elapsed since the CBC Jazz Orchestra last ventured from its Fremantle home to experience the open road on tour. In fact, so long, I believe only one or two members of the current line up have toured previously. Having been in the planning stages for several months, the tour was designed to provide maximum opportunities for the boys to perform in public and enjoy the delights of some of the world's most beautiful country. The band toured for ten fun packed days visiting the towns of Geraldton, Denham, Monkey Mia, Carnarvon and Exmouth, performing for schools, townsfolk and tourists. Despite the gruelling performance schedule, which included some performances up to three hours in duration, the boys managed to fit in a great deal of sight seeing and other leisure activities into their days . We ' Roadies' who were fortunate enough to travel with

this tour, witnessed a definite change in the band and its members as the tour progressed. Musically they improved every performance to the point that "encore, encore" was the common cry from the audience. More importantly however, twenty-one boys left for a tourthey returned as one. Special thanks must go to Mr Sandri, Mr Rose'Meyer and Mr Stengel for giving their time so willingly over their holidays. Mr Williams 10 the Catering Department, Mrs Carter in the School Canteen, Mr Wenn for preparing the bus and indeed Br Wedd for his support of this tour. The Music Parents Group extends its best wishes for the future to the following members of the music programme, who having completed Year 12 leave this year - Glen (Captain) Harris, Michael Clapsis, Kyle Wade, Luke Vernon and Clarke Barlow. In closing I wish to express my sincere thanks to the Music Committee, which have again this year been a source of strength, inspiration and support. Often working behind the scenes, their contribution is invaluable to the success of so many projects. Thank you to Mick Dutton (Vice President), Janice Pounder (Secretary) , Sharon Micenko (Treasurer), Maria Clapsis, Nancy Jaramillo, Maria Harvey, Sandro Sandri, Uwe Stengel and Emma Tandy.

· ,.•• " F:u..e - Gerry Harvey (Parents Music Group) DAYI-GERALTON The CBC Jazz Orchestra left the school behind for a 10 day tour of the NW. It was an uneventful trip up to Geralton, except for the trailer blowing a tyre. While Mr Stengel drove onwards to get a spare we played bush football and had a close encounter of the emu kind. Unfortunately we arrived at the Music School too late to perfonn. DAYS 2/3-DENHAM We travelled to Denham in Shark Bay and settled down at the caravan park in our self-contained huts. We then made our way to Monkey Mia to go on a sunset cruise. After the cruise we performed for the tourists in a picnic area with no acoustics. Several hundred sandflies also came, but were only interested in biting us!

Day 3-We performed for local residents and school students at a hall 1D Denham. The younger students had a go at conducting and many young boys went home

wanting to play the drums. Captain Glen 'Goliath' Harris led the band members to a 2-0 victory over the local high school students in a game of touch rugby. DAY 4-CARNARVON On the way we stopped at Shell Beach and Hamelin Pool (the home of the living rocks called stromatolites) . We had lunch at the satellite dish in Carnarvon and also visited a banana plantation. DAYS 5/6/7/8EXMOUTH

We travelled to Exmouth and stayed at the Harold Holt Naval Base in the bachelors quarters. That evening we played at the Potshot Hotel Resort. We were invited to a Blue Light Disco that night Stewart Bovell and Andrew Howe were pretty popular with a group of girls! Day 6- Mr Rose'Meyer's face was redder than the fire engines. He was trying to cook us sausages for breakfast when the fire

alarm was triggered. Needless to say, everyone got up pretty early that morning. We admired the views of Charles Knife Gorge and Shothole Canyon as well as observing fossils at Pebble Beach.

Day 7-In the spirit of waking-up-people-withloud-noises tradition started the previous morning, Peter Harvey woke everyone with the Reveille call on his trumpet. Some say he had a death wish, others say he was out of his mind at the time! We visited Yardie Creek, Osprey Bay and Mandu Mandu Gorge as well as going snorkelling at Turquoise Bay. Stuart's and Andrew's fan club from the disco came to watch us perform at the Potshot that evening. Day8-We saw the wreck of the S.S. Mildura, visited the lighthouse and went snorkel ling at the 'Graveyard ' ( a beach where the Aborigines of the area believe the spirit

of the turtle to live). We had the best perfonnance of the trip that evening - Mr Stengel believes it was our greatest performance to . date. DAY 9-GERALTON Mr Sandri was attempting what seemed impossible, an entire day of travelling. Just when we thought our bus couldn't give us any more hassles, Mr Motorcar himself, Clark Barlow had to replace a leaking tyre at Carnarvon. DAYIO-HOME On behalf of the band I would like to thank Mr Stengel, Mr Sandri, Mr Rose ' Meyer and . the parents who accompanied us. Without their time, effort, bloc>d, sweat and tears, the trip would not have been possible. Also we would like to thank Mr Novak for giving us lots of fruit and Mr Williams for organising the 180 sausages.

he CBC Fremantle Science Club has now been running for two years. The main emphasis has been to introduce the boys to a more diverse and fun side of science. Mrs Graville provides many of the ideas, often from the CSIRO Double Helix National Science Club (to which we are affiliated). However, the boys are also a rich source and if their ideas are not too fantastic, we can usually accommodate them in the science department.

T

This year has seen us create a really successful worm farm. The worms will be sold at the end of the year to raise funds for those extra chemicals needed for the club. We also bred snails successfully in term 2 but they escaped into the Chemistry laboratory! The boys have also grown a vegetable garden mainly, of peas and beans. Earlier in the year we made various gooey chemicals including Gak, slime, ooze balls and rubbery models in the 'Thing-maker-chill-a-tron' lab. We also made disappearing ink. The boys are currently growing crystals out of Alum as part of an in school competition. Another competition we did in term 1 was to make spaghetti bridges. The enthusiasm of the boys has been constant all year and hopefully we can find some new members and new ideas for the club next year. - Mrs Sally Graville (Science Club Coordinator)

998 was a very difficult year for the Spectrum team. The previous year had seen the departure of three quarters of the writers when they left school at the end of Year 12. Remaining were two Year 12's; Glen Harris and Joe Sainsbury (who had been in it since Year 9), Marc Monzu our Production Manager from Year 11 and two Year lO's: Luca Lucioli and Joe Princi, and Ben Cameron from Year 9. During the year quite a few new people joined, but the bulk of the workload was carried by Glen and Joe. Joe also took on the training of the younger ones. A newcomer, Jamie Ellis, turned out to be a gifted writer, and added some zest until he left in term 3. Four issues were produced with many disasters along the way: people forgetting to cover events, or forgetting to take the camera, even forgetting the meetings, and the Staff Editor, Ms Cooper, threatening to resign regularly. But somehow everything seemed to come together at the last possible minute, and another issue was born. It was a baptism of fire for unsuspecting Kyle Wade who bravely took on the task of Editor for the year, and pursued it doggedly. The 1999 prospect seems fair with many new recruits. As they learn their craft, the magazine should become even more innovative and interesting.

he main aim of Amnesty International is to pressure certain foreign governments to analyse their human rights record. Under the guidance of Mr Purcell, our small yet dedicated group of students from Years 9-12 has focused attention on a number of countries including Sri Lanka, China, Columbia and Turkey. The purpose of our letters is to let governments know that there are people throughout the world who are aware of their human rights violations. In Sri Lanka these violations include the disappearance, torture and senseless wounding of innocent people. Our small but dedicated group met each Tuesday and together we hope that we have made a difference, no matter how small, towards the World's injustice. -Tim Buckner (Amnesty President)

he tradition of giving to others who need our support has always been a strong part of life at CBC Fremantle, and this year has been no exception. .

Through giving small amounts each day to the 'Missions Collection,' amounts which may seem insignificant become much more significant when they are combined with others contributions. Through direct giving and fundraising activities we have been able to support: Project Compassion, Salvation Army Doorknock" Edmund Rice Camps, Daniel Allegretta, PNG Emergency Appeal, Christian Brothers East Timor, Amnesty Street Appeal, St Patrick's Care Centre Christmas Appeal, Foley Village and the St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal.

Languages Week F

rom the 10th to the 13th of August, CBC boys were involved in Language Week, enjoying the experience of trying different foods and games from a variety of cultures. This is not a usual event for the school and it was the first year the Japanese and Italian teachers (Mrs Danker, Mrs Dimasi and Mrs McCann) organized it. Throughout the week the boys had a chance to taste many different foods including gelati, sushi, Italian chocolates, pizza and some continental pastries. The gelati proved very popular as well as the sushi in which 50 packs were sold within the first ten minutes of recess. On the Monday, Bocce, an Italian form of Lawn Bowls, was also available for students to play. The following day some boys learned the fine Japanese art of folding

Mrs Danker demonstrates oragami.

paper into many forms, which they call oragarni. On the Thursday the students and staff came head-to-head in a soccer match. After showing how unskilled they were, the staff later won due to penalty kicks when the scores were even. Pure disgrace for the students. There Was also a language competition where students could take quizzes from the library and fill them out to the best of their

knowledge. No one won the competition as . not.one ,person gained , 100%! There was also a raffle where Mrs Peterson, our hardworking recepti0nist received first prize, a one hundred dollar voucher for a sport store. Second prize was a thirty dollar voucher for Mills Records Fremantle, which went to a 9C student, Michael Stone. Reflecting on the week we can see that it was a great success and exchange of cultures for our school. It was a first for CBC and as a Japanese student I certainly hope that it will continue in years to come. We have been able to understand better the way other countries work, which is an important thing to have in this multicultural society that we live in today.

Hosting

a student from

-.-, - ' H.. -"

Japan • • • Nathan O 'Brien with Japanese Exchange student, Koji Matsuara.

osting an overseas student is a truly unifying expenence. Learning about cultures, especially that of Japan's, is totally enriching for both the host family and the student. Language is not a real problem as you end up speaking the same language in the end.

H

When you host a student, you learn a tremendous amount of information regarding their background, traditions and of course, the language. Upon first meeting with your 'new friend,' you immediately feel united with someone you've known only a minute, rather than a lifetime. An instant connection is made - a traditional Japanese bow or the renowned Aussie handshake - an exchange of cultures. During the entire stay, cultures are interconnected to form a lifelong friendship.

We Australians learn about the ancient art of . . orlgaml, the making of the irresistible sushi and the game that Japanese, both young and old play, 'Jan-Ken-Pon, ' otherwise known as 'Paper, Rock, Scissors,' in Aussie t e r m s In the mean time your student is tackling the language problem but quickly grasping the concept.

The student arrives with a sense of mixed feelings - "How will I communicate? Will I survive in a foreign world?" After roughly a couple of days, you'll find that language is a hurdle that has already been taken - no problems whatsoever. We usually take the student to Perth's famous sightseeing venues - language is again not a hassle as the marvel of Perth's sites is enough to explain it. Leaving the student on the night of the departure back to Japan is a sad moment of the exchange trip. All of the activities you did have brought you closer and having an exchange student is something that everyone at school should endeavour to experience.

acknowledgements ~~t., Annual 1998 has been a journey - one of discovery, fun and stress! In this compilation of activites and photographs, that encapsulates CBC Fremantle in 1998, I hope I bring justice to the activities and achievements of our boys. It has been an encouraging project to witness the enthusiasm and success of students and staff in a wide variety of both curricular and cocurricular activities. This publication was certainly not achieved alone and I wish to recognise and express my sincere thanks to the following:

The Annual Committee who worked throughout the year offering suggestions, contributing and chasing up stories

Joe Calzada (Year 12) Raymond Chiu (Year 10) Jamie Ellis (Year 10- untill Term 3) Glen Harris (Year 12) Andrew Lang (Year 12) James Paratore (Year 12) Joseph Sainsbury (Year 12)

The Photographers who contributed terrific photographs

Brendan Mulvey Maurice Van Dongen Spectrum Team

Staff and Students who endured continual reminders and requests for contributions

A Special and Final Thankyou to Harry Clements-Shepherd and Ian Threlfo (of the IT Department) for their empathy and professionalism

Sarah Griffiths Production, Design, Layout - Annual 1998

Reflection - Year 12 Graduation Composed and performed by Kenshi Wakamatsu

No more showing up late to class No more wondering if I've passed No more sitting around the courtyard with my friends But you know, we're far from the end. No more people who show me how No more people to tell me now No more getting told offfor uproars in the corridor But I hope I won't forget a thing. Twelve years - I can't believe And I'm scared of being free But now we're off to chase our dreams. What I've leamtfrom teachers andfrompeers Will be the strength I'll hold up to new fears. Don 't hesitate to leave it all behind And run full speed at the roads you'llfind But be brave, behave, be happy with life. It's a start/or you and me And an end at CBC But now we're off to chase our dreams.
