" e can learn much from the words of George Bernard Shaw. CBC boys are busy boys! It is one of our great challenges to ensure that all our students are fully engaged in the process of schooling.
W
So why does our school exist? The traditional3Rs of 'reading, writing and arithmetic have been joined by a fourth R 'readiness for work'. To be a good Catholic school we first must be a good school! Attention must be devoted to ensuring that the education received at our college is of a high standard . At CBC we have determined that a Catholic Leadership program is also integral to our process of education. Our vision as a community is young men who have an active faith and who, as Catholic leaders, are agents of change in creating a more just society. While still embryonic, the Catholic Leadership program has resulted in the extension of existing faith formation initiatives and the establishment of new innovative programs designed to encourage a personal sense of God in each boy's life. We need to place Catholic Leadership within the context of our College's life. CBC traces its origins back to 1882 when the Fremantle Boys' Catholic School was first opened in High Street in a building still standing on the school grounds as Edmund Hall. In 1901 the Christian Brothers took charge of the school and had responsibility for the governance of the College until . 1 October 2007. On this date, Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) was established, ushering in a new and exciting phase of governance for ......" . --Australia's forty Edmund Rice schools. For the first fifty years of the twentieth century, the College maintained a reputation for academic excellence resulting in many students achieving great success in examinations and achieving state awards. In the second half of the twentith century, CBC's enrolments entered a slow decline. The growth of diocesan Catholic schools, the deterioration of the physical site and social/demographic changes in the Fremantle region all contributed to the decline. The early part of the new century has seen a rapid growth in enrolments, much improved academic results and the enhancement of the College as a school of 'first choice'.
__!~..
However, education in 2009 is about more than academic results. If the school is to assist in making a real difference in society it is our responsibility to challenge the perception of leadership. It calls for a study of topics such as life skills, styles of leadership, resilience, health and power and influence. It incorporates the study of accountability and responsibility into the student's world . This is an affirming and empowering experience that will enable each studentto develop his style of leadership. The program aims to provide for a seamless transition between primary school and high school. Our students need to be encouraged to be strong leaders in our society. To this end we aim at providing real opportunities that will develop these skills and promote Catholic action within our world . At all times we must remember that CBC is foremost a Catholic school. . -2-
The story is told of a man visiting Michelangelo in his studio as he was chipping away with his chisel at a huge shapeless block of marble. He was surrounded by dust and covered in fragments. It was not a pretty sight. The man asked Michelangelo what he was doing and he replied: "I am releasing the angel imprisoned in this marble" (Fr Chris Gleeson 2008). A good school education is exactly that; a mechanism to 'free people to achieve to their potential; to free the angel!' This year our boys have continued to achieve outstandingly well in academic, musical, sporting and creative pursuits. Academic results from 2008 were particularly pleasing with CBC being named as a "Top 20 school' in a Curriculum Council analysis,and a West Australian analysis listing CBC in the top five boys' schools. Our 2009 NAPLAN results for Year 7 and 9 are consistently better than state and national averages. Spelling and writing will be a school focus in 2010 as results in those aspects of literacy are not as strong as reading, grammar and punctuation. I am also delighted with the efforts of our boys in artistic, musical, dramatic and sporting fields. Our boys won A Division swimming and athletics carnivals and came second in cross country this year. More significantly, the boys have competed throughout the year with grace and dignity. I am particularly pleased with the development of our Arts programs. In 2009, our boys performed superbly in the music, art and drama initiatives. In many ways, the development of a student's creativity is as important as the development of their literacy and numeracy skills. Humanity always benefits when the creative body is enhanced. There are wonderful insights that can be obtained through the arts. The story is told of a young child drawing a picture. When asked by his teacher, he explains that he is 'drawing a picture of God'. The teacher responds that no one knows what God looks like. The boy retorts, 'Well they are about to find out!' In the past few years, the school has devoted significant resources to improving educational facilities. It is evidenced through the creation of an Arts Learning Centre and six additional classrooms throughout 2009, the opening of a very innovative 'Ideas Shop' and the refurbishment of classrooms to become our r---n---......- .......- - 'Year 7 block'. Our ICT facilities have been dramatically improved through the installation of sixteen digital projectors in classrooms this year as well an extra ~. .. seventy student laptops. In the past three years, twenty two classrooms have been air conditioned and every boy's locker has received a much needed facelift. There has been a concerted effort by the School Board and Leadership Team to raise the standards of our facilities to be comparable to the high calibre of our boys and staff. To improve so much without massive fee increases is a credit to the Board and our Business Manager, Tony Pitos.
r---_
I am also pleased to advise that the covered assembly area will be completed by the end of this school year and there will be further building throughout 2010 as we construct two other new classrooms. We are very grateful for the funding from the Rudd Government's Building Education Revolution to enable these projects to proceed. I would like to specifically acknowledge our school staff. The best feedback I receive is from the boys. At Year 12 exit interviews, our Year 12s were glowing in their commendation of their teachers. They were particularly appreciative of the extra efforts provided beyond the classroom. A good teacher is an enabler, one who enables and empowers his or her students to take on wings. It is my most important task at CBe: to employ the best possible teachers! -3-
2009 has also been tinged with sadness. Our Head Boy, Jake Thornton, provided a beautiful tribute to Mr Mark Walawski at our Graduation ceremony. Mr Wal's passing was felt deeply by all involved at CBC. Our boys are very good at discerning who really cares for them. Mr Wal was one such man. He is sadly missed. I would like to conclude by paying tribute to a few people. Our retiring Board members Mr Terry Waddell, Mr Vince Turco and Mr Murray Alessandrini leave with our gratitude for their commitment to CBC. We held our last Board meeting for the year in the new Arts Learning Centre as that building really is the culmination of the Board's work over many years. Very sadly, Fr John Sherman leaves CBC after eight years outstanding service as Parish Priest. His ability to connect so well with our boys and staff speaks volumes of his giftedness and commitment to our students. In many ways he is seen as the 'face of Christ at CBC'. The boys also love his stories. I particularly enjoyed his tale of the Parish Priest who had an Alsatian seated at the rear of the Church. The Priest explained to an anxious congregation that the dog would sit there obediently ...... unless anyone dared to leave Mass early! I would also like to especially acknowledge Mr Rob Leicester who has done an outstanding job as Chair of our Parent Council over the past two years and has now taken over as Head of the School Board. At one stage I told Rob that I would have to organise a parking bay for him given he is at the school so often. I have already mentioned the quality of our staff and I specifically thank our Leadership Team of Darren O'Neill, Marriann O'Neill, Peter Baldry, Domenic Burgio and Tony Pitos for their hard work and unstinting loyalty. The Christian Brothers often mention that the charism of Edmund Rice is evolving. It is not static. Similarly, our school must continue to evolve and develop the potential of our young men. I look forward to being part of that process in the years to come. Mr Robert Henderson Headmaster

Dear Friends, It is with great pleasure that I contribute this piece to your College annual on behalf of the whole Edmund Rice Education family throughout Australia . As a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition, your College stresses the importance of full, creative and lived humanity as an important life goal for our young people. Jesus says of his mission: III have come that they may have life, and have it to the full./I This theme is surely central to our tradition. Christian faith is much more than affirmation of a particular creed or set of truths. It is a commitment to, a stance or posture towards life. From his first appearance in public, Jesus made clear that he intended to teach people how to live for the Reign of God - with love and compassion, peace and justice, holiness and freedom . His ultimate intent was that all might come to fullness of life - here and for eternity. We believe that in our attempts to help our young people grow into a full sense of who they are as human beings, key questions should guide us. Should we assume that the education we prescribe for our young people prepares them not only for a complex and changing world, but also how to relate to other human beings? What about happiness and enjoyment of living? What about courage and the conquest of fear? What about peace of mind, the ability to give and receive love? What of confidence, self-respect and self discipline? What about hope for the future and contentment in later years? Becoming a truly educated person is certainly not solely dependent upon years of formal schooling or university study. American educator Leo Buscaglia suggests that we will have been only half educated unless we have acquired a sense of human dignity and worth, an appreciation of life, the ability to give and receive love, the knowledge of how to use our limited time wisely and the determination to leave the world a better place for our having been in it. I ask God to bless this College in its attempts to live the Charter for Edmund Rice education and in doing so, nurture the full humanity of our young people. Congratulations on a terrific year and thank you for your support of Edmund Rice education. With best wishes Dr Wayne Tinsey Executive Director Edmund Rice Education Australia

COLLEGE BOARD REPORT
I
want to first, and very importantly, acknowledge and thank the retiring members of the CBC Fremantle Board:
Murray Alessandrini -
Board Chair from 2006 to Term 3, 2009
Terry Waddell -
Board member from 1999 to 2009
Vince Turco -
Board member from 2003 to 2009
Fr John Sherman -
Board member from June 2007 to 2009
These gentlemen have been quiet achievers who have made an outstanding contribution to CBC Fremantle in steering the College from difficult times to a college that is financially viable, highly regarded and an education institution of choice. Those of us who have boys at CBC Fremantle have much to thank the leadership provided by recent Boards and these gentlemen in particular. The board membership for 2009 was: Murray Alessandrini
(Chair Terms 1- 3)
Robert Henderson
(Headmaster)
Rob Leicester
(Chair Term 4)
Tony Pitos
(Secretary)
Nic Preston Fr John Sherman OMI
(Parish Priest)
Anthony Sutton Peter Tagliaferri Vince Turco Terry Waddell The Board met on seven occasions during 2009 and also continued to work through the following subcommittees.
GOVERNANCE Chaired by Murray Alessandrini, this committee has supported a process for a new strategic plan to be formulated. Bob White from Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) has facilitated the strategic planning process. Plans were also established to recruit new board members, with an emphasis to recruit female members.
FINANCE Chaired by Vince Turco, this committee monitored the financial performance of the College during 2009 and created financial plans for 2010, taking into account the enrolment of two additional Year 7 streams of students. In addition, tight fiscal controls have ensured financial commitments are met for the College's significant building program.
CAPITAL PLANNING AND INFRASTRUCTURE Chaired by Murray Alessandrini, this committee saw the successful completion of the new performing arts and learning building, the establishment of two additional classrooms adjacent to the science block and the commencement of two other projects that will see an external covered assembly area (anticipated to be completed in December 2009) and two "language laboratories" (anticipated to be completed by December 2010).
-6-
MARKETING AND COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS Chaired by Rob Leicester, this committee acted as support to the Parent Council and the Old Boys' Association. The major focus of the Board throughout 2009 has been the creation of the strategic plan and the monitoring of the capital development program. In relation to the strategic plan, over the course of 2009 a consultation process has resulted in the creation of a new strategic plan for 2010 and beyond. Excellent vision was articulated in the previous strategic plan "Towards 2010" - and the new plan builds on the previous good work. In developing the new plan, a reference group was integral to the process. The group, under the guidance of the Board, consisted of students, College staff, parents and Board members. The strategic plan has established , distinctive values for the College and strategic goals that will provide clear priorities for the College. Importantly, much discussion occurred within the Board with respect to the relationship between the College and the relatively new EREA. EREA is a national community of schools who share a common charter, mission and vision. If you do not know the Edmund Rice "story", I encourage you to inform yourself.
. '
An outcome of the strategic plan is that CBC Fremantle has re-affirmed a commitment to maintaining an affordable Catholic education whilst striving to improve teaching/learning facilities. This is a significant challenge in an environment of increased wage and other costs. Looking forward to 2010, I anticipate we will refine our sub committees and that the new strategic plan will provide the Board with clear direction. The strategic plan will also enable new accountabilities for the College Leadership Team to the Board . I also expect a closer working relationship to be established between the Board and the Leadership to ensure commonality of goals and purpose. Finally, I want to acknowledge the outstanding leadership provided to CBC Fremantle by our Headmaster, Robert Henderson, during 2009. Together with his Leadership Team, Robert has successfully integrated Year 7s into the College, dealt with several difficult issues, managed significant building wo rks and guided the College to another successful academic year. Thank you to all the wonderful professional staff at CBC Fremantle for the outstanding support and guidance again provided to the boys at the College in 2009. Mr Rob Leicester Cha irman CBC Fremantle Board
DEPUTY HEADMASTER'S REPORT DIRECTOR OF STUDENTS s another year passes, the opportunity to take some ~me out for reflection is always welcomed. I often think that it would be nice to have a year of consolidation at our College - a year of minimal changes whereby we can 'catch our breath'. However, change means growth and there can be little doubt that CBC Fremantle has continued to develop and prosper over the last few years. Throughout 2009, the positive changes have continued and our College has certainly benefited as a result.
A
One significant and much anticipated change has been the successful introduction of the Year 7 students onto our campus. "The boys have thoroughly enjoyed their first year of high school and have been wonderfully guided by Mr Louis Miller and Mr Patrick Ryan. I have had the pleasure of regularly meeting with the boys and have particularly enjoyed seeing them gain in confidence and become more organised as the year has progressed. I was recently asked to look at and comment on some 'Guide to CBC Fremantle' pamphlets that many of our Year 7 boys had designed as part of their elective unit for Technology. While the pamphlets certainly reflected the high level of ICT skills amongst the boys, I was particularly impressed with the positive manner in which they spoke about their school. Their commentary on the many great things at our College, the care and support available to them and the opportunities for successful learning was both genuine and pleasing. It has been good to see the boys fit into the rhythm of CBC Fremantle and I look forward to them continuing to contribute to our College in the years to come. Another obvious change has been the ongoing building program at the College. We began the year with new classrooms for our Year 7 boys and a wonderful newly re-furbished Library and Ideas Shop. Two new classrooms were 'created' near the Science Laboratories and gradually over time, the new Performing Arts learning area and four more new classrooms emerged from the building site near High Street. These modern, well-equipped facilities will add much to the teach ing and learning program and provide a comfortable space for student performances, music tuition, community meetings and student assemblies. The next twelve months will see more building at CBC Fremantle as a large undercover area is completed and two more new classrooms are completed. It is very exciting to see the College facilities being upgraded and added to and I am sure that they will be greatly appreciated by both our hard working College staff and the boys who continue to produce outstanding results . """"'. . . ..1rT/j
continued expectation Together with such obvious changes has been the on the boys to maintain standards and to strive for excellence in all they do. While the College understands that each boy is unique and is blessed with different talents and abilities, there exists a clear expectation on all boys to apply their particular talents in a manner that moves them towards excellence. The College clearly expects boys to participate in the many different aspects of school life while demonstrating a respectful approach, a positive attitude and acceptable behaviour. It is very pleasing to see t he steady improvement of such standa rds within classes over the past few years. Th is is particularly evident in the ' Report Analysis' data from the past few years. -8-
The analysis of all the Term Reports has allowed the College Pastoral Team to examine the general work ethic and application of each student. Based on the Student Performance Indicators given for each subject, a percentage score of Positive Indicators (High or Excellent) and a percentage score of Negative Indicators (Inconsistent or Needs Attention) is calculated for each student. This ongoing report analysis has seen the formation of a comprehensive data base that has proved most useful in the identification and motivation of boys to achieve higher standards. A series of awards and rewards are presented to those boys performing in a positive manner, whereas a series of parent letters, student/parent interviews and modified education plans are set for those boys performing in a negative manner. An examination of this report analysis shows a significant increase in the number of boys performing in a positive manner and a corresponding decrease in the number of boys performing in a negative manner. This is shown in the table below which provides a snapshot of the Report Analysis Data for 'Term Two' from 2004 to 2009. Report Analysis Data for Term 2: 2004 - 2009

While a trend toward increased standards of application and attitude is pleasing, it is in the results of such positive change that the greatest sense of satisfaction can be gained. The boys at the College continue to achieve excellent academic results across all Year levels. It is a reminder of the old adage that "hard work pays off and leads to further success". CBC Fremantle continues to offer a diverse range of opportunities for our boys to be involved in many different ,9spects of College life. The boys continually perform at an outstanding level in all areas of Music. Audiences were entertained at the very successful production of Peter Pan and the recent Visual Art Exhibition once again showcased the artistic talent of our students. The number of College sporting teams continues to expand and the brilliant success of our large ACC Squads at Swimming (1st place), Cross Country (2nd) and Athletics (1st) as well as the outstanding achievements of our Basketball, Soccer, Football and Water Polo teams - is testimony to the hard work of the boys and their coaching staff. Importantly for a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition, our young men continue to be heavily involved in a range of service activities and fundraising ventures and they receive much praise for their commitment and the genuine manner in which they participate in such programs. The Retreat programs continue to evolve, allowing boys to explore aspects of their personal faith journey - the highlight being the extraordinary experience of the Kairos Retreat for our senior boys. The experience of being on a College tour has provided wonderful opportunities for many of our students to experience different cultures and expand their learning out of the normal classroom environment. This year we have had some of our musicians attend a Music Tour to Singapore; other boys enjoyed a tour to Japan, and a number of Italian and Art students experienced a remarkable tour of Italy. I was lucky enough to attend the Italian tour and was able to witness first hand the remarkable learning and growth that results from such a cultu ral immersion. I must add that rumours of Mr O'Neill eating twenty four Gelatos in twenty days are not true (I am sure it was thirty! I). It is exciting to know that other tours are being planned for the next few years because they provide invaluable experiences for our boys and wonderful opportunities for them to display their kn owledge, learn wonderful lessons, meet new people and enjoy different cultures. CBC Fremantle offers many -9-
opportunities for boys to be involved in a wide range of activities outside of the {normal' classroom experience. This allows boys to develop important skills, demonstrate responsibility and learn in meaningful ways. Importantly, amidst all of the recent developments at the College a special sense of spirit and community of CBC Fremantle still remains. It is often seen at special College events where staff, parents and students come together. It was very evident in the reverence of our College Opening Mass, in the excitement of the Senior Ball, the warmth of the Mother's Day morning tea, in the gathering of fathers and their sons at the Father's Day breakfast and in the tears and pride of the recent Graduation Mass and Ceremony. At all such events, and in the genuine way in which the boys approach the everyday tasks of school life, this sense of spirit is very real and must remain as the College moves into the future. I would like to thank the boys for their efforts and the parents for their ongoing support of the College. In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the work of the College staff throughout the year. In the community it is widely recognised that the College has a good system of Pastoral Care. Such a system exists only because of the genuine care shown by the staff for the welfare of the boys. All staff members are encouraged to communicate regularly with parents in order to discuss the progress of the boys. The Mentor Teachers in particular, provide an important and consistent link between school and home. Their concern for the boys is an integral part of the Pastoral Care system. The Heads of House, other Pastoral Team members and the Office staff work tirelessly in helping the boys. I would like to thank them all for their invaluable contribution and genuine care for our boys. It is very much part of the spirit of CBC Fremantle that I spoke of earlier. Mr Darren O'Neill Deputy Headmaster- Director of Students

DEPUTY HEADMASTER'S REPORT DIRECTOR OF STUDIES 009 started on a high note, with the Class of 2008 results continuing and improving on past performances. CBC Fremantle boys performed admirably in both their University and Vocationally bound studies. Daniel Wernlein received a Certificate of Distinction for being in the top five percent of Senior Science. Milad Keihanirad, Joel Nibali and Mladen Zaneta were awarded Certificates of Excellence for achieving at least 10 As in Years 11 and 12. The number of CBC Fremantle boys gaining TERs in excess of 90 grew substantially from sixteen in 2007 to twenty five in 2008, an outstanding achievement. This excellent effort of the students placed CBC Fremantle in the top eleven percent of schools with students ranked in the top third of the state. The boys, their parents and their teachers deserve congratulations.

On the back of such positive results, the College welcomed Year 7 students for the first time. After the hard work selecting the best aspects of both primary and high school to design their curriculum, and with two excellent staff in Mr Miller and Mr Ryan, both the Year 7s and the College embarked on a new adventure. The early days and weeks were no more confusing than they were for the Year 8s, and any nerves were mostly on the part of staff and parents. The Year 7s have made a fabulous addition to the College and they have shown great commitment to their studies as can be seen in the high number of students receiving Certficates of Merit at Awards Night. At the Senior end of the College, the roll out of Courses of Study was completed in Year 11 and our excellent staff hit the ground running, implementing and fine tuning these courses. This effort has also been met with the increased availability of technology within the classrooms. Wh ile some things change, many stay the same, and hard work and developing study skills remain essential for all students. This year many Year 11 students had a Study Skills session with Dr Jim Elliot from Curtin University, to assist in the development of study and exam skills. The College continued looking for opportunities to add TAFE qualification possibilities, both through INSTEP and courses. Many of our vocationally bound Year 12 students finished with qualifications, giving them a head start in TAFE or the work force next year. Thanks must go Br Murray and Mr Coggin and the T&E staff who have worked very hard to make t his happen for our boys. The College Awards Night, held on November 15, celebrated the hard work and achievement of many students. It is a beautiful sight to see students recognised for being the best in their subject, but even more so to see many more being recognised for being the best students through the Certificates of Merit. As someone new to the College I have been impressed by a number of things. These are just a few; •
The commitment of the boys and parents in working towards excellence.
•
The magnificent staff who do a wonderful job and give so much time to their students
•
The processes and support that is ava ilable for students. From the homework slip system that helps both students and parents, Homework Club, Maths Clinic, Br Paull, the library and the provision of computer room time at lunch time.
It is gratifying seeing the whole school community working towa rds excellence, and this can only lead to better and more opportunities fo r our boys. Many thanks to the students, parents and staff for their support, and special thanks to the Heads of Learning Areas and the lovely ladies of the front office who make my job easier. Ms Marriann O'Neill Deputy Headmaster - Director of Studies -11-
BUSINESS MANAGER'S REPORT n integral part of the financial management of the College is the annual forecast or the College Budget which is completed for CBC Fremantle on a calendar year basis. The budget provides the mechanism to guide the expenditure in the College and is measured against actual spending on a monthly basis in an analysis that provides the College a comparison to identify over-expenditure or savings.
A
Detail of budgeted income and expenditure for 2009 is provided herewith from the Business and Administration Manager as information to the CBC Fremantle community. Income for the College is derived from three main sources: Tuition Fees, Facilities Income and State and Federal Government Grants. Revenues are generated for Tuition Fees and Grants by applying student numbers in the College to fees charged and grant allocations. CBC FREMANTLE 2009 BUDGET RECURRENT INCOME $8.07 MILLION Expenditure falls into three main categories Salaries and Wages, Debt Servicing and Operations and Maintenance expense. Salaries and Wages is identified as the largest cost area in the College with teaching salaries the most significant component. The expenditure budget also includes other areas of spending necessary for the efficient operation of the College. These include allocations for utilities and maintenance and extend to expenditure for the further professional development of staff. CBC FREMANTLE 2009 BUDGET RECURRENT EXPENDITURE $8.07 MILLION RECURRENT DEBT SERVICING
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE
2%
22%
SAlARIES & WAGES 76%
Facilities 3% Fees 33%
College expenditure is provided for the sole purpose of providing the best educational opportunities for our students. 2009 Fee increases have been larger than previous years at 10% due to economic factors affecting the College. There has also a move upward in the Socio Economic Status(SES) of the College; this status identifies in the main the increased financial capacity of families in the catchment area from which CBC draws its students. Unfortunately this SES increase has the effect of reducing Government Funding allocations which places pressure on Tuition
Fees in the College. It should be noted that even with the increased financial pressures, CBC Fees remain significantly lower than all other metropolitan boys' schools. Whilst Tuition Fees have been increased by 10% they still remain within the guidelines as set by the Catholic Education Office and Edmund Rice Education Australia. Levies such as the ICT Levy introduced in 2006 and the Building Levy remain unchanged for 2009. Capital Development has been quite significant in the College this year, with the refurbishment of the Library and four classrooms together with the addition of two new classrooms plus a new building incorporating an Arts/LearningArea and four classrooms. In addition to these we are constructing an undercover area with funds provided under the Federal Government economic stimulus package - Building the Education Revolution. Other educational and staff / student welfare support initiatives continue with the installation of digital projectors and air conditioning in the College We continue to develop the College to provide a comfortable and safe environment for schooling, maximising the educational opportunities for our students through tight budgetary control of financial resources available.

PARENT COUNCIL REPORT uring 2009, the Parent Council continued to build on the success of its first year.
D
The main objective of the Parent Council for 2009 was again to help "build the CBC Fremantle community" and, to this end, we were again involved in: co-ordinating year group activities; the Mother's Day morning tea; the College Ball the Father's Day breakfast; and the College Art Exhibition. In addition, this year we were also involved in the following Parent Council activities: • a welcome morning tea for Year 7 and 8 parents on the first day of the school year; • supporting the parent information nights at the start of the year; • a "Sunset Family Picnic and Movie Night"; • a father and son "Share the Journey" activity; • the College Open Day; • the Year 7 and 8 Orientation Day morning tea; • the development of a Parent Council page on the College website. I am particularly excited about the "Sunset Family Picnic and Movie Night" and the "Share the Journey" activities. Both of these are unique to CBC Fremantle and have the potential to be significant and successful ongoing events. !
The Parent Council was again well served by the following fabulous parents who made up the Council : Sue Bastian Year 12 parent Raelene Foster Year 8 and 10 parent Rob Henderson Headmaster Suzanne Martinelli Year 10 parent Michael O'Connor Year 8 and 9 parent Darren O'Ne ill Headmaster, Term 2 Joanne Power Year11 parent Alan Strugnell Year 10 parent Toni Vinci Year 9 and 12 parent Debbie Waddell Year 9 parent Fiona Williams Director, Community Relations and Development New Parent Council members have also been appointed to replace retiring members Sue Bastian, Joanne Power and Alan Strugnell. Thank you to these retiring members for their enthusiasm, support and significant contribution to the Parent Council during its first two years . Whilst it is sad to lose quality members, it is nevertheless fantastic to welcome the following new Parent Council members: Enzelia Fogliani Year 8 parent Greg Hayes Year 8 parent Rebecca McClelland Year 11 parent Jenni Smart Year 10 parent I also wish Debbie Waddell all the best as she takes on the role of Chair in 2009 and adds her personal touch to the Parent Council. The Parent Council continued to receive outstanding support and encouragement during the year from our College Headmaster, Rob Henderson, his Leadership Team and College staff generally. I again want to particularly acknowledge the College's hard working Director, Community Relations and Development, Fiona Williams, for her fantastic support of the Parent Council. The College is in good hands with all of these wonderful people and I thank them all, on behalf of the Parent Council, for their help, support and guidance through out the year. I wish the Parent Council continued success and I hope you will in turn support it by either helping with, or attending, the many events planned for 2010. Rob Leicester Parent Council Chairman -13-

MUSIC PARENTS' GROUP REPORT ~arents'
009 was another busy year in the CBC Music Group with all members diligently for the benefit of all the musIc students. 2working The annual band camp in May saw the Year 7s join in this year, and again the MPG was able to subsidise every student to attend this great weekend of rehearsals and workshops. It's also a chance for the boys to develop great team spirit and friendships. The weekend culminated in a Mother's Day picnic which saw a large attendance for the boys' final performance in the picturesque surroundings of the Araluen Botanical Park. Jazz on the Swan was again an extremely successful event in June. This was its third year running with all bands performing for friends and families. It continues to be a great fundraiser and provides much enjoyment for all the boys, as well as increasing their enthusiasm and confidence by performing in public to an appreciative audience. The highlight for this year was, of course, the Jazz Orchestra's tour to Singapore in July. They performed at several tourist venues as well as providing entertainment at a Jazz Swing Club called 'Jitterbugs' where the dancers were delighted with the boys' professionalism. It was quite a different experience for the boys to have people dancing to their music and they really enjoyed performing at this event. The boys also had time to participate in some cultural excursions, comparing and sharing their musical talents with a local school as well as visiting the Battle Boxes, a historical site during WWII when Singapore fell to the Japanese, and of course, spending their last day on the famous Sentosa Island. The MPG was very happy to be in a position to provide a considerable subsidy to the teachers and all the boys . for this tour. This was possible due to the successful fundraising from previous years, as well as the efforts and dedication of the current Music Parents' Group. Being involved with this group of parents is actually very enjoyable and rewarding on a personal level, from watching the boys' progress from year to year, be ing part of , their events, assisting behind the scenes, and getting to know the parents of the other boys. I sincerely thank the committee for their friendship, and dedication to their sons' musical development. The Visual and Performing Arts (ViPA) Evening in August was also a great success with the acts being mixed up to create an interesting evening of entertainment. This included Visual Art displays in the foyer, excerpts from the school production of 'Peter Pan' and monologues from drama students. All of our bands performed, as well as the guitar ensembles, choir and there was even some ballroom dancing displays during the Jazz Orchestras' performance. Clancy's Fish Pub had the Jazz Orchestra playing at their venue three times this year, in April, September and October as guests for their 21 st Birthday celebration . This is one of the boys' favourite gigs as they really get the feel of what it's like to perform in public with an audience of people other than their parents, friends and families. The Jazz Orchestra's 'newest' and final performance for the year will be with the Fremantle Dockers Football Club - being invited to perform at their inaugural Christmas Party at Fremantle Oval in December. This event is open to the general public and is great exposure for CBC and the fantastic music program that is offered to all students. I wish to extend heartfelt thanks to Shane Mancuso who shows great dedication and leadership of the music department. Shane spends many long hours at school, then after school' conducting practices and attending band performances and events away from the school. His patience and comm itment are greatly adm ired and his guidance and friendship is hugely appreciated . Our thanks are also extended to all the other music teaching staff, as well as Mr Robert Henderson, Mr Frank Williams and Mrs Fiona Williams who all provide support to the music program in various ways. Finally thanks to the boys who play in our Bands - they provide such a wonderful service to the school and the community. We will be losing nine excellent musicians from the Jazz Orchestra this year as they complete Year 12, however, we will be welcoming some new, younger musicians coming through the band ranks. We look forward to meeting many more new parents and embarking on another prosperous and enjoyable year in 2010. Mrs Claire Cranswick

OLD BOYS' ASSOCIATION REPORT nce again I report that I am very proud to be the President of myoid school Old Boys' Association. We all work very hard to do the job we have entrusted to us. I would like to thank the entire Old Boys' committee for their efforts during 2009. Special thanks go to Fiona Williams for her sterling efforts in organising and catering for the majority of our re-unions and functions.
O
An example of the above is the Over Sixties morning tea being held at the school on the 15th September. There will be in excess of 100 people attending this function and I just know it will be a great success. We will be combine several of our re-unions this year on the 27th November and I just hope that the old boys of these years will complement the hard work done by Fiona and turn up in great numbers. At every reunion we hold the group who attend always leave in a much happier state for having caught up with their old school mates and check out what they are doing now and what successes they have all achieved. I would like to welcome all the new teaching staff at the school and I am certain they have been well chosen to suit the College's requirements. They join the school at a time when it is really enjoying great success in both academic and sporting results. I am very proud to advise that after nearly twelve years of providing a bursary for a needy boy that we are still managing to achieve this. The cost has escalated to near $3500.00 and we will continue to provide this for as long as we can. We also provide funds to the Edmund Rice Camps for children who would otherwise not have this opportunity. I personally attended an Edmund Rice Network Sundowner in March this year and I can say that I was amazed at the work and efforts of this dedicated group of men and women. Your Old Boys' Association try to keep the communication lines wide open and we extend this opportunity to any Old Boy who may wish to be more involved in his old school. If you are not receiving the Palma Magazine we may have incorrect contact details for you. This is one are where we sometimes fall down as it is such a difficult thing to keep in touch with everyone. Your committee is also attaining senior years of age, and would appreciate some assistance from some younger Old Boys in the continuance of your Old Boys' Association . The meetings are mostly every two months and then only for about one hour to one and a half hours. We would appreciate you offering without us having to approach you as we would know that you are truly interested. I would like to close by once again thanking my wonderful committee for their dedicated efforts in helping to keep the communication channels to the school wide open. Mr George Ayres
COLLEGE CAPTAIN'S REPORT JAKE THORNTON ood evening Mr. Henderson, Father Sherman, staff, families, alumni, distinguished guests and the graduating class of 2009.
G
It was five years ago, twenty odd haircuts ago, thirty centermitres of growth ago, eight hundered periods of English ago and three hundred assignments ago we were welcomed into this gymnasium for the first time by the graduating class of 2005. I believe I speak on behalf of all of my peers when I say we were all extremely nervous on our first day and tended to stick with the people we already knew. As though it wasn't overwhelming enough making a transition from primary school to high school we had to think about 'm eeting a whole group of new people. Although, it wasn't hard to make friends in such a welcoming and friendly group of gentlemen like this and before we knew it we were the best of mates and now look at us, we're like family. Back in 2005 we were young, impressionable, and as you can see from the photos tonight, very different to today. Over our time together we have bonded as a year group, we have grown, we have learnt, we have shared, we have seen many friends leave and many new ones join. But we have also lost one friend forever, Mr Walawski. Mr Wal was the epitome of the phrase 'top bloke' as he was always there to lend a hand to anyone and have a laugh with anyone. Gentlemen, Mr Wal will be extremely proud of all of us tonight and I'd like to take this opportunity to say how much we all miss him and how we will remember the legacy of service and love he left in the hearts of all of us. Mr Wal, you will never be forgotten. Tonight is a very special occasion for all of us, and although we might not appreciate the entire significance ' of this ceremony right now, our parents do. This occasion is so special to our parents as their investment has paid off. They have made sure we have been driven places, fed properly, dressed in the correct uniform, loved, cared for and nurtured. In return for all this they want to see us do our best and be well rounded men in the future. Like any good investment this love and support has allowed us all to develop into good young men now and in the future. Although we might not always be outwardly appreciative of your sacrifices and love, we are all aware of them and we really do appreciate them and I believe that our letters to you have reflected that. I would once again like to thank our parents for everything. As our time draws to a close we start to realise and appreciate how we got to where we are through the help of our parents and teachers, but tonight is focused on us as a graduating class and formally concluding our time at CBC Fremantle and along with it our formal education. The analogy of a wine glass aptly describes our situation at the current stage in our life. All this time, up to now, we have been travelling up the thin stem of the glass representing our very sheltered and regimented life to date. Yet, now we have reached the wider bowl of the glass and the future is upon us. We will venture out of the stem and be faced with endless opportunities and choices that we have to make along the way. Because of the guidance and wisdom imparted upon us over our time at school by our teachers and parents we are well equipped to tackle any challenges that come our way.
II
Spending five years with a group of people you are bound to make long lasting memories that will stick. Ten years from now we are unlikely to remember our final exam results or who Pythagoras was but what remains will be the memories of the personalities and talents of the one hundred other mates we have had the privilege of s~aring our time with at CBC Fremantle. Like Andrew Emsavana's ability to run the one hundred metres with most people not even realising he'd started, Felix McKenzie-Rae's ability to memorise every word of the foundations of chemistry textbook, Cam Edwards and Alex Pearson's promising futures as Harry Kewell and Mark Schwarzer's replacements, Josh Biondillo's knack of looking and sounding frighteningly like Bob Dylan, James Potter-Brown's smooth moves on the dance floor, Jack Collier's talent as a water polo playing fish. Joe Hanratty spending religion, maths, English or any class really scribbling down his next piece of art work, Matthew Bunce's passion for serving the less fortunate, Sam Quinn's height or Patty Johnson and Jake Sacco's passion for well ... their hair! We will always cherish the memories made at CBC Fremantle over our five years together. In the future these talents and memories will serve all of us well, especially if any of us are asked to debate which sport out of Aussie rules football or soccer is more superior. Our time at CBC has seen each and every one of the young men of the graduating class of 2009 utilise at least one of their talents. These talents have'
-16-
culminated in the sporting success of the swimming, athletics and cross country teams; 'the Belt-up Cup football team and the senior boys' basketball team. As well as witnessing the Art Department's production of another very successful play and multiple arts, language and music trips. Many students have also helped CBC establish itself as a 'school to beat' in the academic stakes. All of these talents and skills acquired are testament to the effort and dedication of the eBe gentlemen and they also mark our growth and progression over the years. To the teachers, firstly I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the endless hours of dedication and commitment you have put into us to make us not only academically better but better people all round. Our success is personified through our teachers, such as Mr Leicester's willingness to help anyone even if he does risk missing all of his lunchtime and free-time and sleep-in time ... anyway. If it wasn't for all of your help and support I'm sure none of us would be where we are today. I would also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Father John Sherman and let him know how much we have all appreciated his spiritual guidance and support throughout our five years at the College. Although tonight marks our progression onto the next stage in our life we will also witness Father John's departure from the CBC community and on behalf of the whole community I would like to wish him well in all that he undertakes in the future. To the students, I will never forget the hundreds of wonderful times we have spent together over the years, as I'm sure neither will you. So what do we do? Ourfutures are now, more than ever, dependent on us: our actions, our decisions, and what we choose to do. Although we may still act like it at times, we aren't children anymore. We actually have to think about our lives now, which begs the biggest question of them all, "When did that happen?/I It's almost as if for seventeen years we didn't really think of actually being in control of our lives. We always had our parents, who have been there to guide us and our teachers who have been there to educate and assist us. In retrospect, we sort of had a backseat to our own lives, but now we're driving. And we're not quite sure how. But we'll do it. How do I know? Because I know who I'm talki to. I know I'm talki to uite possibly the greatest people I've ever known. The people I've spent everyday with for all my five years of high school. I've seen the best of all of you, and I know that there are no better people to face what's ahead. And whatever you have chosen to do, I know you'll all do it and you'll do it well. The future for everyone in our year group is very bright, as I know that all of you will make the most of the wonderful opportunities you have been given by your parents and your school, because in the wise words of Derek Zoolander, "I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking./I. And on that note, thank you to everyone for your support and love tonight and over the past five years. I would like to thank you all so much and on behalf of the graduating class of 2009 I would like to present the College with a small gift, which I will ask Father Sherman to accept on behalf of the College. Jake Thornton

LEARNING AREA REPORTS
CATHOLIC LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
T
hough leadership in the Church may take many forms and may take different levels, it is always a call to follow Jesus in his ministry of healing, teaching, and shepherding. Sometimes we think of this ministry of Jesus to mean only ministries that have to do with the sacraments. However, this ministry of healing, teaching and shepherding can be done in the most ordinary and simple circumstances. Healing may involve helping a companion regain his health through suggesting cures that is in .the tradition of one's family. And teaching can mean just sharing what you know about the Catholic faith. It could be just a Scripture passage which one has meditated upon and then shared whatever insight or wisdom 'one has gained in the process. And shepherding need not be in the realm of spiritual direction. Sometimes, it can just mean helping a friend regain a positive direction, towards greater hope, light, or freedom . Leadership can take many forms. We need not be in high positions in order to practise the ministry of leadership. Some may say that leaders are born or leaders are made. However, we are called to see leadership with the eyes of faith. Just to know in faith and to trust that by our baptism, we are called to share in the ministry of Cnrist because of the gift of His Spirit, is enough to encourage us to practise leadership where we are now in our lives. What we therefore have to pray for is that we always seek the Lord for guidance in how we are to share in his mission of healing, teaching and shepherding. This is a lifetime process of discerning in what way we are to do God's will in the very situations we already find ourselves in. As we pray more and more to be guided by the Spirit of Christ in Word and Sacrament, we learn to apply what he tells us in prayer to how we are to practise our Christian leadership. The Church today is in need of strong leadership, and most particularly leadership that is pastoral. The model for this is Jesus the Good Shepherd. Jesus was a very strong leader but his leadership was not tyrannical. Rather it is a leadership that cares for the little ones, especially those who have strayed, those who have lost their way, and those who have been marginalised to the edges of society.
•
Strong and pastoral traits in a Catholic leader are what is still needed for these present times. Even with the passing away of John Paul II, his influence still continues for today. We are also fortunate that our present Pontiff, Benedict XVI, also follows the pathway that John Paul II has forged, and in this way continues the strength of direction and pastoral care of John Paul II. And let us not forget that the strong influence of John Paul II is not only on the level of the papacy. In fact, and in reality, it has trickled down to all of the lay faithful, who in their own positions of leadership have led their flock with the same pastoral style as that of John Paul II. Those of us who are called to positions of leadership have always to look to Christ for our moral strength. It is Christ who was able to say "No" to the temptations of the Evil One. On our own, we cannot say "No" to the temptations of the Evil One. It is only if we pray for the gift of the Spirit and for the influence of Christ in our life that we can res ist all manner of temptation that shall come our way as simple leaders in our communities and families. -44-
So, let us not be swayed by the mass and crowd of negativity swamping the boat of Pet~r but rather let us focus on Christ as He is mediated unto us through the devotion to His Blessed Mother and through the sacrament of the Eucharist. If we hold on to these two very important aspects of our Catholic spirituality, we shall do our humble and simple part in strengthening our Catholic church. Devotion to Mary. Devotion to Eucharist. This will stabilise not only our own personal faith but also inspire others to do the same. Perhaps one of the great challenges for Catholic leaders today is to be able to provide the faithful with an example of moral strength and integrity. I guess this is one characteristic which we need so much in our Church today.
Catholic Leadership Lessons The Face of Jesus
This program is centred around the belief that we find meaning in the life of Jesus. We are his representatives and our actions should reflect His Values. Jesus also made the comment that we are part of his family and that the ways we treat others should be reflective of the way we would treat Jesus.
"Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me." Matthew 25:40 Thus during the program the students are asked to reflect on how the topic relates to Jesus in your life. By the end of the semester the students should have an awareness of the "Face of Jesus" in your life. This program is designed to help foster and build your relationship with Jesus as Leader. It helps the student see the face of Jesus applicable to his daily life. Its simple aim is to enable students the chance to see "THE FACE OF JESUS" in today's society. . Mr Peter Baldry Director of Catholic Leadership
DIVINITY he purpose of Religious Education is not simply the transmission of knowledge to the student; it also explores the implications of the central claims for each individual. This can give an alternative perspective to materialism and help students to gain inner confidence, it happens to recognise the value of silence, gentleness, compassion, success for others and personal responsibility as well as achievement, success, recognition and reputation .
T
"Let the message of Christ, in all its richness, find a home with you. Teach each other, and advise each other, in all wisdom. With gratitude in your hearts sing psalms and hymns and inspired songs to God" (Colossians 3:16) This year we have entered into a new era of Religious Education with the introduction of the Religion and Life Program . For obvious reasons, the students will be able to excel at this TEE subject due to their exposure to the topic in all levels of their lives. It is a subject that gives real options for those bound for university. We are offering numerous pathways for the students and they should think carefu lly about selecting Religion when they have the chance. We have an excellent program that enables the students to be well prepared to take on Religion and Life. All of this could not have been possible without the dedicated Divinity staff who have worked very hard to deliver a meaningful curriculum. A great thankyou goes also to those staff who have formed the divinity , department over the past years. These are Mr Dowsett, Miss Ricciardi, Mr Sandro, Mrs Quin, Mr O'Neill, Mr Clayden, Mr McNamee, Mr McGrath and Mr Hurley. Thankyou for all your hard work and commitment towards the students' education. I also look forward to having the same level of support from the parents of our students. Your role in your child's faith development is vital for their future success as genuine human beings. It can only be with this support that we can continue to offer a faith-filled curriculum that is aimed at the development of the whole student. We look forward to the challenges of this year in the hope that we can offer students a holistic education based on faith. I leave you with these words taken from the Edmund Rice Charter. "The vision for Catholic Education is the facilitation of development based on the Christian life, expressed within the Catholic Tradition . Catholic Education is a ministry centred on Christ's vision for humanity, focused on authentic human growth and given expression through principles of faith tradition, quality service and developmental excellence." (The Charter, Edmund Rice Education Australia) Mr Peter Baldry Director of Catholic Leadership
INDIGENOUS IMMERSIONS AUSTRALIAN INDIGENOUS CULTURAL HERITAGE boriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are complex and diverse. The Indigenous cultures of Australia are the oldest living cultural history in the world - they go back at least 50,000 years and, some argue, closer to 65,000 years. One of the reasons Aboriginal cultures have survived for so long is their ability to adapt and change over time. It was this affinity with their surroundings that goes a long way to explaining how Aboriginal people survived for so many millennia .
A
Cultural heritage is seen as 'the total ways of living built up by a group of human beings, which is passed from one generation to the next', given to them by reason of their birth. In Australia, Indigenous communities keep their cultural heritage alive by passing their knowledge, arts, rituals and performances from one generation to another, speaking and teaching languages, protecting cultural materials, sacred and significant sites, and objects. It has been a concern that we have only one immersion event happening in our school and that isthe Kiwirrkurra Program. While this is an excellent program it exposes only eight of our students to the Aboriginal culture. Th is is seen as something that can be built upon. All of the students at CBC need to be exposed to the nature of the Indigenous people of Australia. The embedded attitudes of the students gained from limited exposure to the culture has those forming myopic views and attitudes towards the Indigenous culture. This program's aim is to break this negative culture towards the Indigenous people. It is hoped that the outcome will be a more tolerant student with a sound understanding of the Indigenous plight in Western Australia.

LEARNING AREA REPORTS
MINISTRY AND KAIROS NO.7 he faith development of students at CBC has a multi-faceted approach which includes Divinity, Service, Catholic Leadership and Ministry. All four aspects are necessary and contribute to the overall formation of the fine young men who are enrolled at the College. Ministry includes the retreat program, the sacramental program and liturgies including the Thursday morning Masses.
T
Throughout the year students are offered a variety of opportunities which help them experience God through the sacred. The retreat program is pivotal in giving students the time to stop and reflect upon their lives and , how God is calling them into an ever deeper relationship with Him. Each Year level is offered a different retreat, building in intensity until Year 12 when they have the opportunity to attend the four-day Kairos Retreat. The key themes of Kairos are knowing oneself, discovering Jesus in a personal way, recognising and responding to Jesus' call, and living the message of Christ. The retreat is a deeply moving experience and one that has a profound and long-term impact on the students who elect to attend. Our Year 12 students, together with a number of staff members, travel to the St John of God Retreat Centre in Safety Bay for four days of reflection with ample opportunity for games and time spent at the beach. The food is excellent and more than ample for hungry 17 year-old boys. Those in the younger years hear about Kairos but are not told of the content of the retreat. It is kept as a mystery and this helps students who attend come with an open heart and free from any particular expectations. This year we welcomed Year 7 students back to the school. As this year level traditionally receives the sacrament of Confirmation, the Year 7 teachers prepared the students during Term One. To mark the conclusion of the program the boys participated in a retreat day which concluded with them receiving the sacrament of Reconciliation . Boys were issued with a certificate and asked to go back to their own Parishes to be Confirmed. Some boys were later Confirmed at the second CBC Family Mass held at the Basilica. Year 8 students visited Notre Dame University and engaged in a day long retreat examining the appropriate values which should be held by young men. Year 9 students participated in the "Galilee" retreat which involved a walking day and 'visiting' the places Christ would have visited along the shores of the Lake of Galilee. Year 10 students had the unique opportunity , of visiting New Norcia to experience the spirituality of the Benedictine Monks and the workings of Australia's only monastic town.
Year 11 students were led by the Youth Mission Team at Osborne Park as they explored various issues regarding Catholic leadership. School liturgies range from the very large to the very small . Earlier in the year we celebrated the opening Mass with around 2000 people in attendance. Numerous other College Liturgies were held to mark special events. Thursday morning Masses attracted as many as two hundred for a House Mass and as few as twenty for a class Mass. However in each celebration our Parish Priest, Fr John Sherman, welcomed all and gave us something special to take with us. I thank Fr John for his invaluable assistance at all these celebrations and his willingness to be involved in the life of the College. His efforts over the last eight years have contributed much to the spiritual development of both the students and the staff of the College. We will certainly miss him as he moves on to his new role as Director of Vocations for the Oblate Order. Exciting times lie ahead in the area of Ministry. The College is exploring the future development of a sacred space or chapel, and we will also be examining aspects of peer ministry where older students are involved in helpingto deliverspiritual experiences and retreats tothe younger students. Already our Catholic Leadership Prefects are showing great initiative in this area and will no doubt form the core of any future programs. Mr Craig Dowsett Head of Ministry

CATHOLIC SERVICE & JUSTICE uilding upon the excellent work and structure left by the late Mr Mark Walawski, the service program at CBC Fremantle continued to develop, the cornerstones being the Red Cross Soup Patrols and the Red Cross Good Start Breakfast and the St Patrick's Day Care Centre. For over forty weeks, volunteer students from CBC gave their time to help the marginalised in our community.

I am always fascinated to learn the huge variety of service places that our boys volunteer for; well done, gentlemen, you are showing the qualities of Christ. I share with you a. range of short reflection extracts from students' journals. Mr Sandro Sandri Head of Service and Justice
FROM THE BOYS... "Hugging my mum and dad each day which filled them with joy. " Matthew Costello Year 7 "I helped my mum by vacuuming the games room. I learnt that my brother is a very messy when he eats in the game room! I responded by making me and my brother more tidy. Liam Cicirello Year 7 /I
"I helped the lady in the canteen. She was by herself that day. She was happy we showed up". Conor Armitage Year 9 "My first impression of the Catholic Service Program was I really didn't know what it was useful for, but after thinking about it, helping other people in times of need is what being a Christian is all about./I Daniel Grubisin Year 9 "Setting up the fete tents at Our Lady of Mt Carmel : I gave others a break while I did the hardwork for them!/I Xavier De Faria Year 9 "My neighbours are elderly, so it helped them by allowing them to do one less thing./I Ayden Doohan Year 9

"Save the Children Fund Opp Shop in Myaree: One of the best things about doing service is that I now look forward to early starts. It is a bonus that I know where the money we raise is going, and that lot is not going to administration costs but actually towards helping children in the world." David Ryan Year 10 "Red Cross Soup Patrol: I felt an extra sense of self-satisfaction that I had fed these people and that they were not going hungry tonight because of me. The fact that my clothes had soup on them and that my hands hurt from the stray scalding soup that managed to find its way onto my fingers was totally worth the good I did that day. " Tim Green Year 11 "Braemar Aged Care facility. As the weeks progressed I no longer saw this activity as "service", more a way of helping others, which was fun. It became a weekly commitment: every Thursday afternoon after school I get dropped off at the Willagee Retirement Village and spent one-and-a-half hours there. I taught one of the ladies who I got to know very well how to do art! I taught her and others to paint, draw and we would go outside and draw things as flowers, which was a thrill for many of the residents, as they rarely go outside to do activities. The only difficult thing will be saying goodbye to Braemar when I finish up here because I genuinely have come to enjoy going here." Jake Leicester Year 11 "Blood Donor: On my first blood donation I was feeling nervous and I didn't know what to expect, I didn't pass out! I was very surprised that after giving blood, they gave us food. I ate way too much. On the third time I donated I was thinking it helps so many people and that I am actually helping sick people. I started to realise how important it is to do community service. I believe that CBC Fremantle asked us to do service because they wanted us to learn how bad some people have it. I will continue to give blood even when I leave school. " Luke Walker Year 12 " ... completing this Catholic service helped me grow as a man, and developed qualities in me that I can use throughout my life. My father was especially proud that I took the first steps in putting up my hand to give blood. We went together to give blood donations. It seems that my efforts had a positive effect on my family. As my time at CBC draws to a close, my experiences in the service program will not be quickly forgotten. Even though I will not have to document hours done or write up a reflection paper for Mr Sandri, I will find it easy to see myself taking part in service of some sort outside of College life. It is our challenge now, to take up the service opportunities as we fulfil our roles as spiritually-empowered men of CBC Fremantle. I want to thank CBC, in particular Mr Wal, for supporting and encouraging me to undertake my initial steps towards service and the fulfilment gained by doing so. " Jake Lipman Year 12

ARTS

T
he Arts involve many aspects of personal development and enhance the vision of our lives, who we are and how we express our human condition. .
The students at CBC have many and varied choices available to them, whether to study as a subject towards graduation or pursue a career in the Arts or involve themselves in an activitY, 'exhibition, drama production or College band or ensemble. I would like to highlight some special achievements in the Arts for 2009. Firstly, the Jazz Orchestra tour to Singapore was a great success. The band's last tour to Singapore was in 2000 so it was exciting to be able to take the students overseas and experience a completely different culture and perform at some amazing venues. The College production of Peter Pan was another highlight for the year. Ms Vanessa Newton worked extremely hard to produce a polished and professional production at the Fremantle Town Hall. All of the students involved, including girls from lona, were impressive with their commitment and enthusiasm and showed great team spirit, and I congratulate them for their efforts. Ms Zoe Francis and her students in the Visual Art Department again produced an outstanding Art Exhibition full or colour and vitality. The talent and attention to detail by the students was impressive and a credit to Ms Francis. This year was also a new initiative by Ms Francis to take a group of Visual Art Students on the Italy . school tour. This was a great idea and the boys were able to travel with the Italian students and take in the amazing history, architecture and artwork that Italy is so renowned for. Lastly, this year has seen the introduction of new courses in Year 11 for Visual Art, Drama and Music. This means that students at CBC are involved in studying Arts subjects all the way through lower school and upper school. This is a large step from two to three years ago. It is also an indication there is an interest shown by the boys to use their Arts subjects towards UniversityjTAFEjApprenticeship entrance. Thankyoutoallthe staffintheArts LearningArea including Ms Francis, Ms Newton and Mrs Tandy; our instrumental teachers, Mr Anning, Mr Woolley, Mr Trebse, Mr Hall, Ms Skinner, Mr Vouyoucalos and Mr Borthwick. Lastly, thank you to our highly enthusiastic and organised Music Parents' Group under the leadership and guidance of our President, Mrs Claire Cranswick. It is rare to have such a group of volunteers in a music program but it is vital to the effective organisation and function of a busy music department. Lookout 2010.! Mr Shane Mancuso Head of Arts

PETER PAN
A
fter my participation in our 2008 school production of House of Stairs, we (myself, Sam McLeod, Matthew George and Ms Vanessa Newton) began enthusiastically throwing around ideas for 2009, until we decided upon the perfect idea, in Peter Pan. We went into the production hoping for a challenge, some fun and to promote drama within the school. Even after the many hours after school, on weekends and throughout the holidays given up for the production, I felt as though I got so much more out than I put in. I was given the opportunity to watch Year 9s befriend Year 11s and students be accepted into friendship groups previously thought out of bounds. I myself developed friendships that will last beyond school with boys and girls whom before the production I had never spoken to. I learnt new and exciting things like how to keep a five metre tall mast from falling over, how the lighting in the Town Hall works, and how to stage fight without breaking each other or the swords (well eventually anyway!) In my eyes the whole production and my extent of involvement as part of the production team and acting in the role of Peter Pan was a once- in-a-life time opportunity that I am grateful for more than words can describe. Every moment spent on the production was an enjoyable one, or made enjoyable by the people who were around me. Of course a production like this could not have happened without a lot of peoples' help. So, firstly, I would like to thank all the people who came and saw the production and supported us. Also all the students who were a part of the production be it back-stage or acting, as well as their parents without whom they could not have participated. I would like to thank the Year 12s, who made up the band, for giving up their precious time in their TEE year. Also Matthew George and Sam McLeod for letting me anywhere near the power tools - it was always an adventure of some sort trying to work out how to make something or fix it because it did not quite work. However the the play was put Newton. Without and unwavering the production would have been impossible; thank you. Mitchell Wake

VISUAL ARTS OW! This year has gone so fast! The boys have continued to develop their talents, producing some of the finest and most inspiring pieces I've seen so far from a vast range of studio areas and project themes. They all should be very pleased with their creations as their dedication has led their work to such a professional state.
W
The Year 7 and 8 'taster' course was in eight-week blocks this year, with the boys developing their skills in the form of Asian inspired printmaking, clay sculpture 'Sportsman' characters, clay shoe pieces and 'Superheroes and Villains' graphic design cr.eations. Although they had only a short time together, the boys' dedication and interest allowed them to produce creative and refined responses to each task. The Year 9 and 10 groups have done exceptionally well this year, developing wallpaper-inspired 3D paintings, unbelievably detailed music artist paintings, 'Summer Daze' themes shoes, Lego sculpture characters, war influenced T-shirt screen-printing and woodcut designs. All works are visually stimulating and clever in their design and construction. 2009 also saw the introduction of the new Course of Study in Year l1,both uni and non uni-bound courses. This program allows the boys to work on two fifteen week projects, pushing and reworking their ideas in a diverse range of studio areas. The boys investigated the themes of 'Clash' and 'Australian Identity', and my favourite, 'Animal Abstraction', which saw the boys develop exquisite charcoal studies of animals and then transform their pieces into large scale abstract inspired paintings. Very cool. .. there was a lot of paint throwing!!! These two groups were also the artists who produced the very professional Drama sets for this year's production of Peter Pan. The Year 12s continued on with the last year ofthe TEE and Art and Design program, producing works themed by Infused Landscapes, Clash, and Fun and Games. A special mention goes to Stuart Harper and Joseph Hanratty, who excelled in the TEE program. Great excitement was felt on September 23 at Perth International Airport. Italian and Visual Arts joined forces and for the past eighteen months planned the very exciting 'Italy Tour 09'. A total of twenty seven students and three teachers, Ms Calanni, Mr O'Neill and I headed off on a twentyday adventure, focusing on the cultural and artistic talents of Ita ly. We . saw the sights of Rome, serene Sorrento and Capri, historic Pompeii, quaint Orvieto, fabulous Florence, fashion capital Milan and breathtaking Venice. The art boys immersed themselves in Renaissance, Gothic and Roman Art and Architecture and spent many of hours just sitting down to sketch, paint and photograph this visually stimulating country. A big thank you goes to the boys : what a blast the tour was! Such laughter and appreciation for everything we did and saw! The annual Visual Arts Exhibition which opened on the 22 nd October was a great success! We had a record turn out of students, families and friends and with the display in the new 'Arh Learn ing Area' building, the student's work looked professional and spectacular. The display was work by students from Years 7-12 and thirty students were also awarded 'Arts Achievement' certificates for their commitment and dedication t o the Arts program throughout the year. A special mention goes to Eamon -54-
O'Neil-Daniel in Year 11 who was awarded the Headmasters Award. This year the boys have produced unbelievably insightful and refined works. They never fail to surprise me with their creative talents. As always, a 'thank you' goes to the art students - your sense of fun, laughter, crazy ideas, compassion and understanding make my job so enjoyable (most of the time!). I would also like to give a big thank you to Mr Shane Mancuso who is always there when I need him and goes out of his way to assist...thank you! Mrs Fiona Williams, who although incredibly busy, always makes the time to help, Mr Robert Henderson and Mr Tony Pitos for their guidance and support of the Arts, the admin team: Mrs Josephine Andrews, Mrs Violet Gohr, Mrs Noelene McDowell and Miss Michelle Eades, Mr Ross Wenn and Mr Michael Pasajlic, Mr Rob Leicester, the President of the Parent Council, Mrs Joanne Power and all the parent helpers on the night of the art opening, I could not have done it without all your help. To the family, friends and staff who have supported the art program at CBC throughout the year, THANK YOU. Lastly, a special thank you goes to Ms Angela Calanni who made our Italy dream possible. Thank you, I had such a memorable time, fuelled with visual inspiration and I know my art boys feel the same way. You are a fabulous teacher, friend, and travel companion. I can't wait to do it all again with you in 201l. Well Ciao for now, and I'll see you all in 2010! A presto! Ms Zoe Francis Visual Art Teacher

The four are : Engineering Studies, Materials and Design, Career and Enterprise and Design. This year we have embedded Vocational Education and Training (VET) competencies into the Engineering Studies course, with the boys who complete Stage 1 (Year 11) and Stage 2 (Year 12) also being awarded a Certificate 1 in Engineering which will give them advanced standing at TAFE. In 2010 we will integrate Certificate 1 in Furnishing with the Materials and Design Course. The other courses will have VET certificates embedded in years to follow. Boys in lower school have also been busy with Catering, Electronics, Wood Technology, Metal Technology/Engineering and Technical Graphics. The Technical Graphics skills are the underpinning of all our courses, giving the boys a medium through which they design and model ideas before producing any project. It has been especially gratifying to see the level of expertise our boys are achieving with the Pro Engineer software, an example of which is shown here. This is a scale virtual model of a pen, modelled in Pro Engineer by Jeremy Smith and Jack Bowra of Year 10. We also had our Year 7 boys interacting with the curriculum for the first time this year and they have enjoyed their cooking, drawing and constructing. It augurs well for the future to see so many budding engineers, chefs and designers. I need to thank the staff of the department, Mr Garry Hart, Mr Geoff Buss, Mr Donald McNamee, Mr Frank Williams, Mr John Hortense and Mr Bob Kestel for their hard work, dedication and great ideas over the course of 2009. I feel very privileged to work with such a great team! Mr Steve Coggin Head of Learning Area.

009 has been another busy year for students in the English Learning Area.
The ORACY public speaking competition has been the highlight this year for the staff and students. This year our Year lOs' results were our best ever. Although we thought the boys had peaked last year, we were ecstatic with the unprecedented twenty-five students who received a result of Outstanding overall. Following their success, some of these boys visited Year 8 classes to demonstrate and help with the preparation. For the Year 8s ORACY has been a daunting process, but the boys have risen to the occasion and put a wonderful effort into their presentations. Special mention goes to Year 11s Peter Christie ,and James McNaught, who chose to participate in ORACY of their own accord, and received an outstanding result and very pleasing personal commendation from the assessor. Another area of achievement has been our students' ability to write creatively. This year we have again been immersed in several programs in and out of school to extend and interest the students as well instil in them a love of English and writing. Our association and reputation with The Fremantle Children's Literature Centre continues to grow and develop. Groups from Year 9 to12, drawn initially from the extension programs, attend the Centre four times a year to participate in workshops with authors and to write their own material which is published by the Centre. In addition, the extension classes in Year Eight to Ten attend a workshop with authors in residence. This year students have had the pleasure of attending sessions with authors Maureen McCarthy, Archie Fusillo, Matt Ottley, Isabelle Carmody and Markus Zusack. The Centre co-ordinator has continued to praise the efforts and conduct of our students, identifying them as a standout group in comparison with other schools. Special mention must go to Nathan Simich in Year 8 for winning his category in the Tim Winton Award for Young Writers. The boys have also had the opportunity to expand their appreciation of language to the realm of the theatre, with theatre visits continuing to be an extension to the upper school Literature courses. Plays seen this year included the contemporary Greek theatre performance of Antigone: the boys were very impressed with the use of stage in this production which included glass panels with flowing fake blood. On the more conservative side, the boys attended a traditional version of the classics Merchant of Venice and Romeo and Juliet, the latter being an outdoor performance. Notable at the beginning of this year was the influx of 'new blood' with the Year 7 classes under the tuition of Mr Patrick Ryan . It has been exciting to see this group throw -60-

themselves into their English studies and achieve some very pleasing results whilst meeting the challenges of entering a new school. Other new additions this year have been Miss Emily Bowran replacing Mrs Shayni Nelson, on maternity leave after the birth of her son Max. In regard to curriculum and the day-to-day activities in English classrooms, the boys have continued to build their knowledge and skills through the reading of novels, poems, films, documentaries, newspapers and feature articles, to name just a few of the texts the boys experience in English. We have continued to refine and update units of work for each Year group and will conduct an extensive review of courses ready for 2010 as we continue to build the boys' skills in using the English language effectively. We wish the Year 12 students every success in their exams and hope that the concerted effort of the last three terms pays off. Year 11s moving in to Year 12 are reminded to take advantage of the long break to do some pre-reading for their Year 12 courses. To all we encourage you to pick up a good book over the Christmas break and enjoy the wonders of the English language.

009 has been another exciting and dynamic year in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Learning Area at CBC. We welcomed back Mrs Emslie from leave as our department grew to three teachers with Miss Ricciardi teaching ICT again this year.

With the introduction of Year 7s in 2009 the College was able to offer for the first time an ICT Literacy subject that all Year 7s took for the year. It consisted of one period a week in the computing room where the boys learnt important ICT skills that they could use in their other subjects. Close collaboration with the Ye.ar 7 teachers ensured the skills were being put to good use in a variety of different subjects. The elective rotation this year saw the combining of Year 7 and 8. The course was designed to not only provide the boys with some valuable computing skills but also introduce them to specialised computing software. The boys had great fun creating their own animations in Scratch. The Year 9s have produced some fantastic work in ICT and should be congratulated on their efforts. The Year91CTcoursethis year was designed to introduce students to animation work, website development, movie making and image manipulation. This year, the course saw students develop their creativity skills using many different software programs such as Flash, Dreamweaver, Adobe Premier, Windows Media Player, Fireworks and Photoshop. The boys should be proud of the fine work they have created . The Year 10 ICT course has given the students an insight and understanding into Technology as it relates to the use of computers in society, more specifically into the use of computers and the Internet in business and as a recreational tool.

The course was also designed as an introduction to the Upper School Classes that are available to the boys. Over the year, the Year lOs have been producing their own games in GameMaker,animations in Flash and websites in Dreamweaver. The students produced some fantastic games (if a little unusual) that show the old school style games are not dead yet. The final term has seen the boys use their skills developed over the last two years to create informational and promotional tools for the College. These have included presentations for the 2010 Year 7s, sporting videos and websites, quizzes and interactive learning tools. The boys have produced some excellent work and should be congratulated on their efforts. It has been a thorough pleasure teaching this fine group of Year 11 gentlemen. They have displayed amazing ICTskilis and a great work ethic in all that they have been asked to produce throughout the year. The websites they designed for fictitious businesses would definitely have had me buying their products. Thei,r research and digital presentations

about the benefits of sport in a healthy lifestyle were also a highlight of the year. We have enjoyed discussing the many topics that have presented themselves through news reports and current affairs. Cyber bullying, identity theft, scams, twittering, mobile phones and brain cancer, social networking, exploding iphones, the development of new viruses and many more topics have sparked intelligent discussion. I wish the boys all the very best as they enter AIT 3A and 3B in Year 12. In their final year at CBC the Year 12 classes produced some fantastic work and once again showed the amazing amount of talent and creativity our boys have. Applied
In/ormation Technology 1C/10: these students worked hard on setting up and running their own online business which gave an insight into some of their dreams and aspirations after school. They created radio commercials, websites, web banners, budgets, databases and some fantastic business logos.
the However highlight for the year was the planning, filming and editing of their videos. The boys spent countless hours in and out of class filming and editing their masterpieces and although Hollywood might not be calling just yet they definitely had a lot of fun! It has been a pleasure to teach these boys this year and watch not only their skills on the computers improve, but also witness their own personalities come to life through their work. Applied In/ormation Technology 3A/3B: this class epitomized the saying, "Big things come in small packages". Single-handedly the boys have been responsible for the Year 12 Graduation DVD and presentation, the Awards Night Audio/Visual Presentation and the Interactive Tour of the College on the College website - not bad for five boys doing their TEE.
The quality of these presentations is a testament to their skill, determination and hard work this year, and the boys are to be congratulated on their efforts. The boys have worked tirelessly in the AIT course this year which looked at networks, databases, outsourcing, web trends, Website Design Principles and Elements as well as in-depth looks at the impact technology is having on all aspects of life. I wish all our Year 12 students all the best for their future studies and pursuits, and thank them for their great effort and contribution to ICT at CBC. Mrs Jody Lee Director of ICT

INSTEP nstep, for me, has been a great success because I have been studying Electrical Engineering at the Diploma level at Challenger TAFE and I am enjoying it. This program has been life changing because I am now applying for an apprenticeship in Electrical Engineering. I would recommend this to anyone interested in this type of work.

Rory Gibbs The Instep program has been a good choice in my opinion as I always knew I would not be good in an office job so I thought that being in an outdoor job, being active and¡not sitting around in a job was for me. I have learnt many skills from my placement in the electrical trade with Team Electrics and this has allowed meto see what a particular job is like before I commit to it in an apprenticeship. Alex Gamba The Instep program has been good for me because it has allowed me to get heaps of skills from different industries and areas. These skills which I have learnt I can apply to various jobs. Some of the skills I have learnt ranged across tourism, hospitality and maritime engineering industries with Legend Boat Builders and Golden Sun Cruises. Mitchell Donaldson The Instep program was a great choice for me. During these last four terms, I have acquired many useful skills that will help me with my future career choices. It has been a great opportunity for me to have a set day to go out into the workplace and learn about various industries. I am very thankful that this program has allowed me to do this. I spent the first semester in the retail trade at Jim Kidd and the second semester with Inhouse Building Design. My career choice now is to complete school and study drafting. Gabriel Esposito I learnt how to draw floor plans for houses, sections of the house and elevations. I drew all of this on Auto Cad 2002 which is architectural software. It allows plans to be drawn on the computer instead of by hand. I would absolutely recommend Instep as a way to help you choose career. I could not believe that I was actually out in the workforce and working. The customers were all really nice and the workers were great. This experience has given me the confidence to continue studies in drafting. Alex Massara Since I started doing Instep, I have ~~~~r=;;;;;;;t;~ realised how much of an eye opener the ~ program has been for me. It has given me a true feel of the work place and how I should be conducting myself with each given task.

I thoroughly enjoyed the work, although I realise that this was not going to be my preferred career choice. My second placement was in offshore electrical at Hirdle Electricity. I love this work placement and believe that this is the career that I want to pursue. I am grateful for the INSTEP influence, especially since it has helped me determine a career path. William Clarke chose to work at RC Airconditioning as my first semester and it was a great learning experience. My second placement was with Electrical Blue. INSTEP has given me the opportunity to lean in what direction. I want to gain an electrical trade when I leave school. Jacob De Abreu Instep for me was a good experience.

L
ike Julius Caesar said, "I came, I saw, I conquered", twenty seven of our eBe students stood in Rome and marvelled at the beauty of Ancient and Modern Rome . This year our trip was a combined Italian and Visual Arts Tour of Italy. What a delight it was to see the enormous smiles on the faces of our boys and to hear their cries of excitement not only in Rome but in all the many fantastic places and experiences they partook in. In Rome they visited the Sistine Chapel, the Spanish Steps, the Colosseum, Gladiator school and played a soccer match against fellow Roman students. From the open air bus tour in Rome to trekking the ruins of Pompeii the boys were exposed to the wonders of Italy. Their culinary skills were enhanced with the assistance and guidance of the village matriarchs of Orvieto. To see twenty seven boys kneading the dough and roll ing out the pasta was delightful to behold . We indulged in the mouth-watering aroma and flavour of freshly prepared Baci chocolates at the Baci factory in Perugia. Florence allowed the boys to not only see Michelangelo's David but also have an amazing linguistic opportunity at ABC Language School for three days. Let's not forget the shopping carried out for their mothers. Despite weather challenges nothing was going to stop us from climbing the 294 steps to reach the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. However, all of this seemed to pale into insignificance when the boys stood in front of the latest model Ferrari! Next stop was Milan, as one boy said the highlight of the Tour was standing before Leonardo Da Vinci's 'Last Supper'. Then it was off to San Siro for the soccer fans. The tranquillity of Venice was a balm after the hustle and bustle of Milan. The freedom of exploring Piazza di San Marco, the canals and famous bridges of Venice was an awesome and memorable experience. The memories created in Italy will forever be etched in the hearts and minds of our students and they will carry these memories with them when they revisit Italy as men. Back home at CBC, 2009 saw the of Year 7 Italian. The Year 7s have studying Italy's famous land-marks 'Gita d'italia' and created a diorama favourite Italian wonder. What excitement it has been making the and allowing the boys clever and nature to shine ... We believe there are a few budding Michelangelo's hiding amidst our Year 7 group! Th is semester the boys have been embarking on a gastronomic tour of Italy and are creating a recipe book of the most tantalising dishes from all over Italy. Not to be left out, the Years 8, -68-

9 and 10 students of Italian have also experienced many interesting and enriching activities. From indulging in Italian delicacies to learning the art of Italian card playing and mask making students have been exposed to true Italian living and culture. Language week is always an opportunity for students of Italian to make a fuss of all wonderful things Italian, with food tasting like scrumptious Salsiccia alia griglia (char-grilled Italian sausage), appetizing pane di casa (home-made bread) dipped in extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, mouth-watering gelato and our famous card and bocce tournaments Italian students continue to deepen their love affair with Italy. The ever growing enthusiasm and interest for Italian at CBC Fremantle has seen not only an increase in class sizes but for the first time in many years upper school Italian classes in Year 11 and 12. 2009 will see the introduction of Italian Courses of Study units lA/1B in Year 11 and 2A/2B in Year 12. This years Year 11 students have been enriched linguistically and culturally to all things Italian. We look forward to another year of Italian in 2010 ... Forza Italia!

IDEA SHOP x-Principal Mr David McFadden wanted CBC to be a place of futuristic innovation so he asked the College Librarian to visit the new libraries in London, UK, called "Idea Stores", which are re-inventing traditional libraries into dynamic, exciting places ~_.. of inspiration and vision to make ¡ them relevant to today's youth. In today's electronic environment where children can live their fantasies via computer games and simulated worlds, it is vital that the library becomes a place to stimulate curiosity and empower people to realize their dreams. The focus is upon lifelong, ongoing learning by encouraging ideas, researching them, and making th~m more possible to achieve.
E
Over the past four years the CBC library staff have tried to create the vision. This year we finally achieved the right environment to enhance it. Students love the new look Idea Shop and the magic that they discover there. Our challenge now is to keep up with the demand and try to encourage our youth to reach for the stars. This is our challenge here at CBC. Students come into our Idea Shop to do all the usual things that students need to do but they also walk into a world where there are always new and exciting ideas to encourage their imagination and fire them to try something different. The
Idea Shop has top - class, professional sound recording and film editing programs. Year 12 students have used the facilities to record a demo with their own blues rock band. Another top class program greatly in demand is the animation background creator "Vue" which Disney use to make their animated films. The boys love using software they would most of them find difficult to afford themselves. With little wall space new ways of promoting books and activities had to be found. Posters now decorate stairwells and ads are shown on the Idea Shop television.
From the Idea Stores in London we took the concept of a caf~. Our design incorporates a small cafe that will provide hot drinks and snacks before and after school, with colour coordinated benches and the very latest thing in wallpaper. The Year 10 electronics class, have also been involved in the fit-out of the Idea Shop creating a banner from flashing LED multicoloured badges, which will hang in the cafe window. The computer area has a spacecraft feel to it with backlit acrylic walls and a star constellation on the ceiling that changes with the season. Cube seating gives a funky touch Year 11 student Harrison McClelland created an animated Idea Shop newsletter which allowed him to turn pages with his finger. It features Harry Potter-like video images, competitions and news. The Dr Who Tardis book return box was made by teachers Mr Hart and Mr Kestel with sound effects and flashing light made by Mr Byrd.

009 was a very busy and productive year in the world of Mathematics at CBC Fremantle. Laptops, overhead projectors and new smartboard technologies were incorporated into the curriculum, enabling the staff to integrate a variety of learning experiences into the boys' math classes. Maths Club was well attended in 2009, run by Mr Leicester and Ms Schmidt, which saw on average twenty - thirty boys attend every Wednesday and Thursday afternoons for the year, either for extra help or to extend themselves in small group activities. Year 8s have had, as usual a very busy and challenging year. Mr Jones extended a talented group of Mathematicians in his extension class. The Year lOs enjoyed exploring and using their new Casio Classpad calculators as they prepared themselves for entering the upper school. The new courses were introduced into Year 11 this year, and these courses required the use of the Casio Classpad. During 2009 gifted Mathematics students took advantage of many opportunities to display their abilities through a variety of com petitions.
MATHEMATICS COMPETITIONS Have Sum Fun Competitions
In March, two Have Sum Fun Mathematics competitions were held, one for Upper Secondary and the other for Lower Secondary. CBC sent six boys to the Upper and six boys to the Lower School competition. They were involved in working through mathematics puzzles as a team as would be done on a quiz night.

The boys were treated to a meal at McDonalds and then transported to the venues. The teams competed against other schools in the Southern corridor, which is the extremely tough side of town . The boys were very competitive and worked well throughout the night in a team environment. The Upper School Team finished twelth out of fortytwo teams, while the Lower School Team finished equal third out of fortysix teams. However they lost on a countback. This is the best result for CBC at these events since inception, and augurs well for the future. Well done to these boys.

Mathletics In 2009 all Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 students had access to the Mathematics program. The program, "Mathletics", allows students to work through a tutorial on any Mathematics topic with which they struggle. Students can log on at home 24/7 and work on areas that require further investigation. Teachers set homework over two to three days and that allowed the students without home access to be able to do the required work at school. Further stimulation was gained by playing "Real Mathletics". This is a math game based on basic math skills, and competing against anyone else online at the time. Many students have found the game beneficial. Competition was fierce within classes to have their name displayed in the top ten competitors each day.
Maths Online In 2009 the Government introduced a Mathematics Online program, which is available to all school-aged students in Australia. The program is excellent and provides a great opportunity for boys to have access to online learning for all Mathematics topics. There are ample opportunities to explore concepts and practice skills. It is a well structured program which all boys should be accessing at least once a week. Mr Barry Tognolini Head of Mathematics Learning Area

SCIENCE 009 has been a dynamic year in the Science Department. Several highly-experienced new staff were inducted at the beginning of the year, COS were introduced in to all our Year 11 classes and the boys participated in many competitions, excursions and investigations. Here are some of the highlights:

Year 12: Jake Ziegelaar, Kevin McKenzie, Isaac Towne, Jeremy Peris, Alex MacAdie, Felix MacKenzie-Rae, and James Potter Brown. NATIONAL SCIENCE FORUM At the beginning of the year the College welcomed back Head Boy, Jake Thornton, who had returned from two weeks in Canberra on the National Youth Science Forum. Jake was selected as a consequence of his outstanding efforts in his studies as well as his exceptional interview where he impressed the panel with his knowledge and passion for science. The Forum is designed for aspiring students looking towards careers in science, engineering and technology; Below are some of Jake's thoughts on the experience.
During the best part ofJanuary 20091 was given the opportunity to attend the National Youth Science Forum in Canberra. My initial thoughts were mixed as 1had no idea what to expect and was told to come with an open mind .a nd that is exactly what 1 did! Never diG 1 believe 1 could have the opportunity to meet and share such an amazing experience with some of Australia's top scientists=, both current and upcoming, in such a short space of time.

Before we knew it, I and the fifteen others from WA were boarding Qantas flight 642 on the 4th of January and although we were a little apprehensive at first everyone was ready and raring to go. For the next twelve days I was going to be staying in the world renowned Burgmann College with 149 other aspiring scientists from Australia and abroad. While at the NYSF we packed a lot into a two week period and of course had to compensate for that with not a lot of sleep! We got to experience things that people may never get to see -and we did it with this country's top scientists in Australia's top facilities such as ANU Engineering, SMEC Engineering, NASA's TidbinbillaDeep Space Tracking Station, SnowyHydro, Australian Defence Force Academy, ANU Chemistry ... the list goes on. . The scientific program set out by the NYSF truly had to be experienced to be believed. I never imagined, even in my wildest daydreaming in physics class, listening to my teacher explaining the Large Hadron Collider that I would have the opportunity to ask questions to scientists live from Switzerland working at CERN on the LHC! Or that I would be able to hold a substantial conversation with anyone of a group of 149 other people my age. The scientific program set out by the NYSF has revealed to me the numerous possibilities in the field of science out in the big wide world, which are actually available to me. It has really refocused my goals and inspired me and made me want to strive for something bigger, something better because now I know it is out there; from hearing about the everdeveloping nano-technology to forensic science technology used by the Australian Federal Police as well as the other undiscovered technologies that are out there just waiting to be discovered. Over the course of the NYSF I met a lot of great people, great in more than one sense of the word. People that as well as being down to earth and upstanding human beings are also Australia's top upcoming scientists. During January this year I embarked on a life changing journey known affectionately as the NYSF or The National Youth Science Forum where I got a chance to do things I never thought possible, meet people I never knew existed and now through the help of the NYSF be things I never dreamed that I could be! Jake Thornton NATIONAL SCIENCE WEEK
National Science Week fell in Week 5 Term 3 of the CBC Calendar. It was hard to miss the event around the College as there were posters up in all the science labs and in the stair wells. This year the boys excelled in terms of their participation where lunchtime experiments involved up to sixty boys at a time. Monday was Messy Science with Mrs Lawlor and Miss Curry; this involved volcanoes, slime, eggs and foam. Tuesday Mr Leicester had some fun with Physics, Wednesday was Biological Boggle with Mr Richardson and Mrs Smith, where the boys got t9 view micro-organisms and Thursday was experiments with illiquid Nitrogen". Both Year 7 classes were invited to have a one hour class each with Mrs Lawlor. The boys were shown lab equipment, discussed how students must conduct themselves while carrying out experimental work and -75-

"Science Week really opened my eyes to how much fun science can be. We got to blow stuff up, and deep freeze bananas with liquid nitrogen. It was awesome. I can't wait till next year's science week." Will Marlow EXCURSIONS
Students participated in a number of excursions this year particularly in Earth and Environmental Studies and Biology. Year 11 EES students spent a day with Bob Gozzard from the Geological Survey of Western Australia. Boys collaborated with the experts to study weathered and eroded igneous rock formations and areas that had been rehabilitated around an old quarry in Byford. The group then visited the Alcoa Wellard Wetlands where they discussed the history of the wetlands and their environmental significance. Baldivis sand quarry was the next stop where boys discovered that they where standing on prehistoric sand dunes. From this point the group travelled to the salt lakes where they looked at the formation of the lakes and how they where once part of the ocean. The final destination on the trip was Point Perron. It was here students looked at the variety of environments and geological formations. Students learnt that the sea level changes in the past could be inferred - from the weathering patterns in the coastal limestone. Year 12 EES
students spent a day at the Hillside Discovery Centre in Gosnells. This is a practical and hands-on centre where boys viewed ore specimens, panned for gold, went on a nature walk and completed a worksheet based on their course work. Year 12 Biology students had their annual two-day camp to Rottnest Island. Once again the students experienced practical application of the course content. Boys studied the ecology ofthe salt lakes, sand dunes, inter-tidal zones, quokka behaviour, and other fun and flora of the island. The sun was out for most of the trip and the boys spent some time snorkelling to aid their studies of the marine environment. Thanks to the boys for their participation in all activities. Your mature behaviour and inquisitive minds have made for valuable and meaningful learning experiences. I convey my thanks to all staff in the Science Department: Miss Curry, Mrs Smith, Mr Richardson, Mr Matthews, Dr Holohan, Mrs Quin, Mr Leicester and Mr Hortense. Your efforts and enthusiasm never go unnoticed. I look forward to another productive and enjoyable ye<;lr in the Science Department. Mrs Jennifer Lawlor Head of Science Learning' Area
CAREERS 1./\ s Careers Adviser my main aims are to assist Year 10 with their subject selections for- Upper School and Year M12 with their applications for tertiary education. 2009 has seen many changes in the courses we offer and although the aim has been to give students more flexibility, it has also led to more confusion and a need for more consultation on subject choices. This year I was given more time to carry out my role, and introduced thirty-minute interview bookings for any student who needed advice. It has been pleasing, and I hope helpful, to talk to a large number of Year 10-12 students who came to see me. A new careers area in the gym was set up as an interview room and as an area for the many leaflets and sources of information I get sent throughout the year. During my absence in Term Two, Craig Carter filled my role admirably, organising visits to Careers Expos for Years 10 and 12 and the two important careers days for Year 10 when the cohort visited Uni/TAFE campuses, had a number of speakers and carried out some helpful careers work. On my return in Term Three, Ms O'Neill and I interviewed many Year 10 students and parents to help guide them through the subject selection process. An important point to remember for Year 7-9 parents and students is the need to achieve good marks by the middle of Year 10 in order to prove a student can cope with certain university-bound upper school subjects With a hopefully improving job market, and many varied pathways now available beyond high school, late September saw many Year 12s puzzling over their choices. With some speakers from TAFE and University, many have now made some positive decisions that will be finalised in December when results are published. Special congratulations to Will Nolan, Jeremy Peris and Andrew Reid who were accepted into Notre Dame under their early offer program and also to Felix Mackenzie-Rae who has been awarded an entry into UWA under their student of excellence scholarship.

LEARNING AREA REPORTS
SOCIETY & ENVIRONMENT 009 will be remembered as a busy and productive year in the Society & Environment Department at CBC Fremantle. In many ways, it remained business as usual with the provision of quality lessons to students - both inside and outside the classroom - being the dominant priority. However, 2009 has been a year of large-scale curriculum change and so members of the Department have worked hard to ensure that they have remained in step with these recent changes.
2
As in past years, the Department has focused on providing our students with educational opportunities that go beyond the boundaries of our classrooms. In some cases this has meant excursions and field trips, in other cases it has meant guest speakers and in other situations it has meant our involvement in competitions such as the National Geography Competition or the Mock-Trial Competition run by the Law Society of Western Australia. The success of members of the Year 11 Politics & Law class in reaching the Quarter-Finals of the Mock-Trial is an excellent example of how Society & Environment can provide students with opportunities to 'go beyond themselves' and acquire skills that will be of great benefit in their future careers.
2009 represented the final year in which the traditional Year 12 TEE courses were run in Society & Environment. I personally am sad to see the end of the Year 12 TEE Economics course as I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching it over the years, although I am also excited by the introduction of the new Economics Course of Study into Year 12 next year, and the possibilities that the new course offers to teachers. This mix of feelings regarding these changes has been shared by all members of the Department. Added to this has been the introduction of the five new Courses of Study into Year 11 this year. In some cases this meant subtle changes to existing courses but in other cas~s it has meant a complete re-structuring of the established Year 11 courses. 2009 will also be remembered as the year that the Department took its first steps towards the introduction of National Curriculum in 2011. The Department has worked hard to update and modify our existing lower ~-------------------------------78-
school courses so that many of the short and long term focus areas of National Curriculum' such as Australian history and financial literacy became key components ofthe Society & Environment curriculum across lower school. The Society & Envi ron ment Depa rtment was aIso excited by the integration of Year 7 students into our lower school. The Year 7 course has had a heavy emphasis on important Society & Environment skills, however it also succeeded in exciting Year 7 students to the many possibilities that Society & Environment offers due largely to the efforts of Patrick Ryan as the sole Society and teacher.
Finally, I would like to thank all the members of the Society & Environment Department for their efforts this year and over the last five years that I have been the Head of the Department. I leave CBC Fremantle at the end of this year to take up another appointment but I am proud of the many successes of the Department during these last five years. I know that I leave the Department with a high-quality staff that are both excited and passionate about the opportunities that exist for Society & Environment in the future. Mr Peter Hawke Head of Society and Environment Learning Area

SPORT BC continued to produce excellent results across many different sports in 2009, showing the depth of talent we have at the College . In a year where the boys were challenged to consolidate on last year's outstanding results, we were able to again prove we have the best male athletes of any Associated Catholic Colleges school in Western Australia.
C
Watching the enthusiasm which the boys have in competing for their school has been fantastic. Wearing the CBC shirt or jumper is something the boys are proud of, and competing with their mates is what that they want to do. This participation .leads to positive experiences from school and lasting memories which will stay with a young man throughout his life. It is this attitude that is required by ,any school wanting to put its best teams forward and create a culture of having pride in the school they represent. CBC sport has a variety of different levels which provides different opportunities for boys depending on interests and abilities and includes:
HOUSE SPORT At the heart of the CBC sporting program is our House competition which pits house against house in a variety of different sports. This year has seen a number of close games with points going towards the Wedd Cup. The boys are to be commended for playing a hard and fair brand of sport with great sportsmanship.
ASSOCIATED CATHOLIC COLLEGES (ACC) The goal for 2009 was to win the BIG 3 again but we fell just short. The swimmers had a great win to make it five wins out of the last six years, the cross country came a close second after a number of injuries whilst the athletics made it two wins in a row. These results place us as the best boys in the ACC for the second year and is a wonderful effort which the boys and coaches should be proud of.
SOUTHERN ASSOCIATED SCHOOLS (SAS) In our last year in this competition due to our only competition pulling out, we had great success. The year 11/12 teams won both the summer and winter competitions with the soccer team going on to beat Chisholm College from the NAS competition in the inter-zone final.
CHAMPION SCHOOLS COMPETITION This competition is open to any school from around the state and is the toughest challenge for our teams. CBC performed exceptionally well this year with some never before attained r~~ ults that puts us amongst the schools who specialise in particular sports with big programs and budgets. The results were:
-80-
•
Senior football - First 18 team played in the Cable Division (highest league) for the first time and finished fourth.
•
Junior football- finished fourth position in State after losing a close game to Guildford Grammar in a semi final of this 120 school competition
•
Senior soccer - lost the Southern Champions final, finished fourth in the State
•
Junior soccer - are the Southern Champions but lost the overall Grand Final ofthis competition to Balga SHS to finish second-best in the State
•
Cross country - finished third overall in All Schools
•
Water polo - competition winners
•
Senior basketball- Runner up in the Perth Wildcats final
•
Junior basketball - Runner up in the Harbour League Competition
•
Sailing - finished fourth overall just behind PSA schools
•
Senior tennis - runners up of Mursell Shield
•
Junior tennis - made the Division A semi-finals of Herbert Edwards Cup
•
Surfing/bodyboarding - strong results across all divisions
•
Rugby - excellent results with 8s losing the Grand Final, 9s and lOs losing semi finals
•
Rowing - excellent results in Club competitions
These excellent sporting results across the board would not have been possible if it wasn't for the commitment and professionalism of the staff of CBC Fremantle. I would like to single out and give example of the dedication of one of our PE staff members, Mr Correia. This year he has coached the Cross Country team, Junior Football team, assisted with the First 18, the Athletics team and SAS Touch and Soccer team. This level of commitment is common amongst our staff and is one of the reasons for our great success. I thank them all for their time and effort throughout 2009 and look forward to their continued involvement in the future to give the boys of CBC a fantastic positive experience in school sport.

YEAR SEVEN
The start of the year began well, although, whilst many of the boys took to the routines of high school like ducks to water, others found the transition a little more challenging. Being organised enough to use and maintain a locker was perhaps one of the first major hurdles that the boys had to overcome. Certainly during those first few weeks it would be fair to say that matters of organisation proved to be the number one cause of angst amongst the boys. It did not take long however, for most of them to overcome these early hurdles and by the end of Term One the majority of the boys were well and truly in the groove. Another great event that brought us all closer together and showed the boys what it really means to be a member of an Edmund Rice Community was the Year Seven Retreat. On this day, held towards the end of Term One, the boys participated in activities that challenged them to think about their responsibilities as young Catholic men. As well as discussing a number of thought provoking topics they were also given the opportunity to engage service activities. The da concluded with the b the Sacrament of Penance
and participating in a prayer service alongside their parents. The day was an important part of the boys' preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation, which many later received at their own parishes throughout the year. Throughout the year the boys have immersed themselves in a variety of College activities. One ofthe first responsibilities the boys were given was to organise the drinks stall at the annual Edmund Rice Day. This venture proved a great success. After a lot of hard work selling approximately 900 icy cold refreshments the boys were able to contribute $1200 towards Edmund Rice Charities. The fact that all our stock was sold in a two hour period is testament to the initiative (and spruiking ability) of the boys. In August the boys had an eventful excursion to Mundaring Weir. It was great to get out of the classroom and despite harbouring a few concerns about the old double decker bus's ability to make the trip up into the hills, we all enthusiastically scrambled onboard. Our concerns were soon realised when, after 30 minutes or so, we found ourselves laid up on Tonkin Bypass in the middle of a downpour. It wasn't long before we had sixty restless boys all needing to go to the toilet on a treeless """"'''''''''''''''''''I8'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''==-'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''~ strip of highway. Thankfully the new bus soon arrived and we were once again on our way. The rest of the excursion was incident free, our visit to Mundaring Weir proving to be both an educational and memorable experience for all involved. Several sports carnivals were attended during the year. In March the boys flew the flag for the College at a district Super 8 cricket competition held at Gil Fraser Oval. The ACC Interschool Swimming Carnival at Challenge Stadium was an occasion for the boys to get a feel for what it is like to be a CBC boy. The camaraderie between the senior and junior boys was fantastic. The House Athletics Carnival at Perry Lakes proved to be another eye-opener for Year 7 rookies. The boys found themselves rotating around numerous events whilst competing side by side with boys of all year groups. The possibility to impress some ofthe older boys was not lost on many of the boys who rose to the occasion producing some outstanding individual performances. Being the first group of Year 7 boys at the College for some time, the opportunity to be a record holder was also another great incentive to perform well. The afterschool sports program began very promisingly with many boys turning out on Monday afternoons to participate in Super 8s cricket. Although the standard of bowling was questionable, the enthusiasm of the boys was beyond reproach. Term Four saw the inclusion of the Year Seven boys into the Year 8' multi -sport program. Once again the boys' endeavour was fantastic: they slotted in alongside their Year 8 counterparts without any problems at all. One of the more light hearted sides of Year 7 sport this year has been the many interesting lessons we have had with Mr Burgio. Who could forget the time he almost broke his nose while trying to demonstrate the 'correct' technique for bouncing the ball. And there were all those tips on how to save mum work by washing your own sports shirt in a bucket of Napisan. Most importantly of all, Mr Burgio taught the boys how to wear a uniform (Italian or otherwise) with flair. It has been rewarding to see the boys mature over the year and develop a sense of belonging within the CBC community. The boys move on, well equipped to cope with the increased expectations and responsibilities of Year 8 and hopefully fond memories of their first year of high school at CBC Fremantle.

MORGAN HOUSE
I
n loving memory of myfriend Bob Rose'Meyer, the first appointed Head of Morgan House.
It is with enormous pride that I write this Morgan House report for 2009. Returning from a year of leave has been thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding. House spirit is, as always, extraordinarily high and we commenced the year with great optimism for recapturing the Wedd Cup. The calibre of the Mentor staff I am fortunate to work with is something for which I am truly grateful. I would like to formally thank all of them for their outstanding efforts in mentoring the Morgan boys once again this year. Ms Calanni, Mr Buss, Mr Hurley, Ms Newton, Mr Correia, Mr Matthews and our new addition Mr Miller, , working with our Year 7s, have been unwavering in their support of me and of Morgan House. We welcomed a new group of younger boys to our House in our Year and have quickly recognised the privileges and responsibilities of being a member of Morgan House. I look forward to their support in welcoming the new Year 8s and Year 7s in 2010.
7 cohort. They settled in seamlessly
On the sporting field our campaign commenced stunningly with back-to-back wins in the House Swimming Carnival. The commitment and endeavour of every boy in the pool and cheering in the stands ensured our success. Winning the House Athletics Carnival for the sixth year in a row also contributed to our House points and confidence. Strangely, we did not place well in the House Cross Country event. Thanks to an enthusiastic effort by our Mentor teachers and Year 12 prefects our efforts towards service and mission contributions has been outstanding this year. One of the highlights of the year for me was our Edmund Rice Day celebration. We took on a new format this year and the boys and staff embraced the change enthusiastically. In addition to raising a large sum of money for Eddie Rice Camps, the Morgan boys featured impressively in feeding and entertaining the entire school community. , A further highlight of the year has been our House Masses. I would like to make special mention and offer my heartfelt thanks to Jeremy Peris and Craig Dunne for their readiness to serve at every Mass during their time here at The College. Jeremy and Craig are graduating this year and our final Mass with them was very moving to me as I will miss their presence sorely. They have epitomised the meaning of Catholic Leadership and served as magnificent role mo.dels to all of the Morgan students. Further thanks must go to our wonderful Year 12 Prefects who inspired, enthused, enthralled and encouraged us to enjoy what it means to be a member of Morgan House. Their dedication, organisational skills and House pride are faultless. They have set an exceptionally high standard for our incoming Morgan Prefects for 2010. Samantha Emslie Head of Morgan House

PATRICK HOUSE PATRICK
S. Clason
P
atrick House during the course of 2009 has found many ways to achieve success. The welcoming of our Year 7 students heralded a new chapter in our history and the manner in which these students were embraced highlighted the strong pastoral nature of our College and specifically Patrick House. The induction of these boys' along with the Year 8 students again afforded opportunities for the senior students to display leadership, compassion and above all empathy with a very successful orientation program beginning Term1. The students were welcomed and embraced by members of the Year 12 cohort of Patrick House who through structured activities and sporting events helped make the transition into High School a smooth experience. Edmund Rice day underwent a massive upheaval this year, Patrick Prefects, House Councillors arid Mentor Teachers were instrumental in the successful organisation and running of a number of activities, raffles and scrumptious food stalls. Patrick students enjoyed the day immensely and proved once again how generous and giving they are with a large monetary donation being raised for Edmund Rice charities. The sporting calendar has once again afforded the students many opportunities to compete and reap the rewards . physical competition offers. The students have drawn inspiration from the Patrick House motto and participated in a determined and courageous manner in all House carnivals this year. The athletic ability of our students was often surpassed by their determination, enthusiasm and willingness to perform to the best of their ability. Patrick House once again was solid in Athletics, Swimming and House sport but what impressed most was their willingness to compete in outstanding spirit. Christian service, the Arts and Academic performance were once again the strength of Patrick House. Our students continually deliver outstanding results and service to others. As a Catholic Leadership College it is so very pleasing to witness the faith and Christ like values that the Patrick House students display consistently. It is also important that I acknowledge the number of young men who provided service to others which far exceeded the commitment expected of them. Finally I would like to acknowledge and recognise the outstanding efforts by the Patrick House Mentor teachers of 2009. Mr Holohan, Mrs Schmidt, Mrs Nelson, Miss Bowran, Miss Ricciardi, Mr Van Dongen, Mr Preston and Mr Miller. These teachers have provided unwaivering support, care and compassion to their respective students all year. I thank them for their support as we continue to provide outstanding pastoral care to the students of Patrick House. Mr Brent Butcher Head of House

009 was not such a memorable year for Rice House. It was a year that saw us relinquish the Wedd Cup. From first in 2008 to fourth (last) in 2009. What happened gentlemen? With this in mind our students of 2010 would do well to take the message in the above two quotes if they are really serious about regaining the Wedd Cup in 2010. Despite the disappointing year from a results point of view it must be said that the Year 12 Rice House Graduates of 2009 played a significant role in steering Rice House in the right direction in each of the four components that make up the Wedd Cup: Academics, Sports, Christian Service and the Arts. The same can be said about this year's Rice House Council members: although as a group they probably made a slow start to the year, as the year wore on members grew into their roles and their levels of involvement in House activities increased. Interestingly, our Term Four House Council's level of involvement began to significantly step up - I hope this is a sign of things to come for 2010. Rice House finished first for Academics in 2009. Well done to all boys - that's two years in a row we've topped the academics category. A great number of boys in Rice House this year received recognitions for terrific academic work. For most this was through Bronze Certificates when ever reports went out, as well as Certificates of Distinction for various subjects as well as competitions. But from here things went down hill rapidly! Sports for 2009 saw Rice House finish overall in fourth place - a result I would like to see us improve upon next year. Early in the year we got off to a devastating start finishing first at the wrong end, with a fourth place in the House swimming. Our days of dominating this event seem to be over ... at least for now. Special mention must go to Gabriel Cipriano who was the Year 9 Runner-Up Champion Swimmer, Gabriel Wright who was the Year 1.0 Champion Swimmer, Harry Collier who was the Year 10 Runner-Up Champion Swimmer, Tom Wilcox who was the Year 11 third-placed Champion Swimmer, and Jack Collier who was the Year 12 third-placed Champion Swimmer. In Cross Country special mention must go to Alexander Ricciardo who placed second in Year 8, Kia Eardley who won the Year 9s, Courtney Smart who placed second in the Year lOs and Cameron Eardley who placed second in the Year 11s. As for Athletics, we again had a year we would like to forget. One spot better than last year, we finished a distant third. Congratulations, however, must go to Taylor Merrutia who was the Year 10 Champion Athlete, Dean Van Schalkwyk who was the Year 10 Runner-Up Champion Athlete, Cameron Eardley who was the Year 11 Champion Athlete and Jack Collier who was the Year 12 third placed Champion Athlete. We have a lot of work to do in the area of sport next year. Despite having some excellent individual efforts we really struggled as a House. As for Christian Service we finished third this year. We started out very strongly in this category. For us this was in the form of the 2008 Christmas Appeal. The Rice House contribution to this event was - like the year before - significant and truly special. Thanks to all Rice House families for this! Unfortunately as a group we didn't manage to maintain this level through the remainder of the Christian Service events for the year. Hopefully next year will be a different story. The final cat egory is the Arts, and this was a category that for Rice House saw us sharing the same fate as our Sport result. The same as in 2008! This was an area ou r Rice House Council members identified at the start of -95-
this year as an area we as a House could, and would, significantly build, but clearly this did not eventuate. House Councillors of 2010 - the challenge has been set. As I mentioned earlier, Rice House has had a disappointing year from a results point of view, but recognition must go to the wonderfully dedicated and caring Rice House Mentors: Mr Frank Williams, Ms Lisa Nagle, Miss Meagan Curry, Ms Trevanna Cooper, Mr Garry Hart and Ms Zoe Francis. In closing, on behalf of all the Rice House staff and students who will be returning to CBC Fremantle next year, can I say to all this year's 2009 Year 12 'Rice Bubbles' it has been a pleasure. In the years that follow I look forward to hearing how you're progressing though life. Gentlemen, good bye, good luck, and God Bless. Mr Troy Foote Head of Rice House

SAMSON HOUSE SAMSON
010 has been another enjoyable year at the helm of Samson House. The students have performed well across all four areas of focus, culminating in our first win of the Wedd Cup for five years.
2
The year started off with the introduction to the College of our first streams of Year 7s, and with it came a new vibrancy that only youth can bring. These youngsters were faced with a tough challenge, and I am happy to say that the vast majority of boys adapted well to their new surroundings. The energy which they have provided has been imperative to Samson's success this year. This was no more evident than at the CBC House Swimming Carnival in Term 1, which saw our Year 7 cohort lead the way. Both the 7s and 8s were outstanding on t~e day, giving Samson a fantastic platform from which to launch our assault on the championship. The older boys also worked very hard, and if it wasn't for a few untimely injuries on the day we may have had a chance to take the title. Unfortunately, we came a close second in what was a fantastic day for the College. We replicated that effort later in the year at the House Athletics Carnival, again led by the younger members of the house. While there were some stand out individual efforts on the day, it was our whole-house approach which involved everyone performing to their absolute best which ensured we got within a whisker of taking the title from Morgan house. In the discipline of the Arts, it was pleasing to again see the Samson boys represent the College on a regular basis. The College production of Peter Pan was an amazing show, built largely on the hard work of Samsonites Mitchell Wake, Lance Brockway and Sam McLeod. This commitment extended into the visual arts and music programs, with regular contributors including Jack Cranswick, John Mariani and Joel Turner. The Arts have always been a strong area of contribution for Samson, and I never get tired of seeing our fine young men sharing their creativity and inspiration with the rest of the College community. Catholic Leadership is another area where Samson excelled last year, and that trend continued into 2010. Fundraising has been a key focus for this year's House Council, and once again the Samson House Footy Tipping competition generated some fantastic funding for our selected charity, i.d.entity WA. While the tipsters have the opportunity to win bragging rights over their peers, the competition also enables us to contribute some much needed donations to charities that do such a fantastic job helping those in our community less fortunate than us. This year, the footy tipping competition raised over $800, a fantastic effort by all those involved, particularly Alex Van der List, Simon Capozzi and all the other Samson Prefects and Councillors. It is a complicated process which stretches out over the course of the year, so to see the end result net such big dividends is enormously satisfying. Congratulations must go to all members of Samson House for such a wonderful and rewarding year. It is always pleasing to see our students develop from year to year, growing into mature, respectful young men who upon graduation will become meaningful contributors to society. To the Year 12s from 2009: you were a fantastic year group and I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all the best of luck for whatever the future holds. Mr Clinton Testa Head of House

T
he training season started in Week Three of Term Four 2008, continued during the summer holidays and finished at the end of Term One 2009 with the result we deserved.
CBC Fremantle again won the Boys' Aggregate at Associated Catholic Colleges Division 1 Carnival. This, I believe, is because we possess a more committed and more determined group of young men who are willing to make more sacrifices to ensure they win as a TEAM and do the best they can for their school. As the coach of this team for the first time, I must say it was a very enjoyable and fun experience, to have a joke and a laugh but also to see the boys work hard to get the results required. The year began with some promising signs of things to come. The time trial against Hale proved that we had a number of new young swimmers keen to be involved. The house swimming carnival proved some of our senior boys had 'gone to the next level' with some hard training with WAIS squads. Jamie Sturgeon broke the Open freestyle and backstroke house records whilst Luke Benoit-Spargo broke the butterfly record . The Quad swim meet was the next challenge for the boys. This competition competing against PSA schools Hale, Aquinas and Guildford Grammar, is tough and a great test for our team leading into the ACe. We had a great result spending the first half of the evening in second place then finished a closer third than ever before. Jamie Sturgeon again broke the freestyle {24.80} and backstroke {27.78} records and Jamie, Luke Benoit-Spargo, Jack Collier and Will Nolan broke the medley relay record for the meet. Coming ¡into the ACC carnival we knew that our 'best efforts' on the day would be enough for us to win. The introduction of Year 7s to the program gave CBC an opportunity to strengthen our U/14 relays by racing Liam McMahon and Jake Leavy up which was a great sacrifice which boosted our team. The team performed brilliantly on the day and the boys' hard training paid off. Sam Quinn as Captain showed his leadership qualities from the start and had the team looking positive from the moment Fr John Sherman blessed the team at school. The results in the relays again set us apart from the others with our depth and strength evident in the Division" freestyle relays. CBC finished with three firsts and two thirds in the five relays wh ich is an amazing result. In the Division I relays we again performed brilliantly with two firsts, two seconds and a third. It was just sensational to watch the boys perform so well under pressure. There were records broken again by brilliant performances. Jamie Sturgeon broke the freestyle record and Jamie, Will, Luke and Jack broke the medley relay and Jamie, Luke, Jack and Sam Quinn broke the freestyle record . Gabriel Wright also did exceptionally well by finishing third in t he Champion Boy for Under 16s having swum his heart out for the College in four events. Congratulations to all the boys in the team. It is a long season with early starts and cold mornings but it shows strength of character and a determination and commitment to the team . These are admirable traits to possess, so you should be proud of yourselves as the College community is proud of you all. Mr Brendan McGrath Head of Sport

OSSCOUNTRY
A
fter the success of last year the CBC Cross Country team went in to the Cross COblntry season with high expectations. But claiming back-to-back titles was never going to be easy, and the boys knew that it would only come through hard work and dedication. Training started a month earlier this year and was held at a variety of venues to keep the boys motivated. Training was not for the faint hearted, with the boys running in excess of 10 kilometres a session and incorporating a variety of endurance, interval and speed work. I was extremely impressed with the turn-out at training, especially from our young brigade of Years 7 and 8s who brought some extra enthusiasm to training and who were not overawed by the older boys, matching it with t he big guns in Year 11 and 12. The leaders in the team stepped up and led by example with the likes of Sam Menegola, Cameron Edwards, Ryan Edwards, Sam Monaghan, Will Grant, Aaron Minervini and Robert Storey all pushing the group to the limit. This year the boys were given some much-needed competition practice joining up with Corpus Christi and lona for two vital meets. The meets were compulsory for all boys and proved vital for the final selection of t he t eam. Our first event was the WA State All Schools at McGilvray Oval. Our top five runners from every age group were chosen to represent the school, and after finishing in 2nd place last year expectations were high and the boys did not disappoint. The conditions were not ideal for running with strong winds, heavy rain and even spurts of hail through out the day. However this did not faze the boys who all put in a tremendous effort to finish in the top three in four of the five age groups and finish in 3rd position overall, only three points behind arch rivals Sacred Heart arid power house Trinity. Gabriel Cipriano starred on the day over coming illness to finish in 9t h position earning him a spot in the state squad. The main event for us was the ACC Cross Country at Perry Lakes. It was the moment of truth for our cross country boys, who had been training extremely hard for fourteen weeks and after the triumph of last year the boys were very keen to claim back-to-back titles and nothing but a win was ever going to satisfy our hunger for success. Unfortunately on the day things just did not fall into place for us with a number of injuries and illness striking some of our top runners. However with the great depth we had in our squad a vict ory was still achievable and we saw some boys put in some magnificent performances. Once again I was very impressed with the attitude and desperation of all our runners giving it their all in an effort to gain those extra couple of places for our school. This was highlighted by young Nicolas Lomma in Year 8 who, 200m from the finish line, started projectile vomiting; however this was not going to stop him as he raced to the finish line making sure he did not let anyone pass him even though he continued to vomit. This set the tone for the rest of the day and launched Nicolas to 'cult figure' status amongst the other boys in the squad. In the end we finished just short coming second to arch rival Sacred Heart and just in front of a very strong John XXIII. The disappointment amongst the boys was clearly evident with an unusually very quiet CBC squad departing Perry Lakes, a far cry from the jubilant, chanting and singing scenes we saw from our boys last year. But the boys should have been proud of their efforts, as Mr McGrath put so very well : every dog has its day and unfortunately this one just was not ours and a second place is a magnificent effort when you consider over fifty schools compete on the day and close to three hundred students run in each race. Overall it was a great season with some new exciting talent being discovered and some magnificent performances being displayed. Special thank you needs to go to Brent Butcher who assisted me at training. Brendan McGrath who did some of the behind-the-scenes work, and all the parents who endured all those early mornings to take their boys to training. I have thoroughly enjoyed coaching the boys this year and will be looking forward to next year with great anticipation where hopefully we can go one better and reclaim our mantle. TOP 20 FINISHES

na day filled with drama and challenges, CBC were eventually able to claim the Boys' Aggregate Shield for the second time after being announced in second place at the presentations.
It was a very windy winter day that greeted the team. Captain Robert Azzollini was set the challenge of keeping the team positive and focused on the goal we had set at the start of the training season to go two in a row and he did this with great skill and maturity. There was a positive vibe amongst the team from the first event. The day began with two year seven boys Thomas Martens and trey Moloney showing great courage and sacrifice by racing the hurdles events as Under 14s. This sacrifice enabled CBC to put its strongest team forward and the boys must be congratulated for this. The boys acted and performed like a team throughout the day which was fantastic to see . They would leave the team area with positive comments from team mates, perform to their best with the support of their team mates then come back and be congratulated for their efforts. This attitude was typified when Lance Brockway had the whole CBC team (as well as other schools), standing and applauding his every attempt as he jumped for gold . It was just brilliant to watch and says a lot about the pride CBC boys have in their team and school. As always the final result can be won and lost in the relays and this year our relays were amazing! The boys stood up to the pressure of these large-point-winning races where a dropped baton or a bad change can mean disaster. Of the five relays, CBC won two and came second in three, which shows the depth and talent we have in our athletes. Some individual results on the day were outstanding. ¡ Andrew Emsavana produced some amazing results and was literally running between events to keep up with his hectic program which left him exhausted at the end of the day. He broke the long-standing 200m record in a time of 21.50 and smashed the hurdles record by running them in 13.98 seconds - an amazing effort by this 'freakish' athlete who is poised for an excellent future. A number of boys did produce excellent individual athletic results for their efforts throughout the day. Julien Konle (Under 13) and Andrew Emsavana (Open) were named Champion Boys. Jordan Paynter was Runner Up (Under 15) and Daniel Nocciolino (Under 13) was third. These boys are to be congratulated on their efforts throughout the day. These results would not have been possible without the hard work of the coaches, who put in their time and effort throughout Three : Mr Correia, Mr Butcher, Mr Matthews, Mr Foote, Mr Clayden, Mr Barnett, Lori Sexton, Zac Farrow, Adam Halliday and Kyle Supper. Thank you and congratulations for developing the skills our athletes required to win. Mr Brendan McGrath Head of Sport

ROWING SOlid performance by CBC rowers during the 2009 Rowing Regatta Season paid off with multiple wins at the State Championship Regattas preceded by a successful season of racing. This culminated in Fremantle Rowing Club winning the Novice Championship Pennant for the third year running. This is awarded to the club with the overall best performance and wins at the junior level, and CBC boys dominated the men's junior grades.
A
Some notable Championship wins included Dan Hall, Nick Minuta, Conor Mertens and Max Armstrong in the D grade coxed fours event. This crew, with Julian Hirst participating, also won the E Grade Coxed quad event. In fields of eight crews each race, the boys were hotly pursued by UWA, Curtin and Murdoch Uni crews but proved too strong for the competition. The CBC combinations of Will Clark, Conor Mertens, Max Armstrong in one crew and Winton Huck, Luke Walter and former student Deaglan Harney in another, again in quads, pulled ahead of the third-placed UWA crew to achieve a first and second place. Luke and Winton went on to win the E Grade double sculls, again putting UWA in third place. In the E Grade single sculls, Winton Huck and Nick Minuta, blitzed the field achieving first and seconp places respectively. The boys enjoyed a hard year's training and this showed up in multiple wins at other regattas, with newcomers Alessandro Lo Presti and Sam Yates achieving wins throughout the year. The boys won club awards of Most Improved and Best Junior Oarsmen of 2009. -Mario Lo Presti and Max Armstrong, along with former student Caine Bristow, have commenced intensive training to participate in the Australian National Rowing Regatta in March this year in Victoria. These young men are also contesting seats in the West Australian Youth 8 and are regularly tested at WAIS time trials. Their program of five on-water sessions backed up by five land-based sessions is showing dividends with very competitive performances against the State's best rowers at these trials. The Executive Officer of Rowing WA commented on the CBC Boys squad: "It's great to see CBC Fremantle continue to be represented in rowing. The boys have impressed with their performance and application, often against older and more experienced crews, and CBC is now a force to contend with in the sport."

FOOTBALL
T
his year has been a very successful year for football at CBC with all three teams finishing in the top four in their respective competitions and the Sports Ready Cup team winning the grand final. The Belt Up team (First 18) competed in the top Barry Cable division for the first time. The boys had experienced great success over the last two years, winning back-to-back titles in the Jakovich division. The students now had the chance to prove themselves in the top grade against some quality opposition. Fielding a very young side blooding a record nine Year lOs and a Year 9 student (Mitchell Emery) which is almost unheard of at that level, the boys did extremely well to make it to the preliminary finals ahead of power houses Sacred Heart and Clontarf and falling just short of a grand final appearance. The Smarter than Smoking team had a magnificent year going further than any CBC team had gone before in this competition. The boys finished fourth in a knock-out competition that consisted of more than 350 schools, losing narrowly to PSA school Guildford Grammar in a heart-breaking preliminary final. The Sports Ready team progressed through a series of knock-out competitions to meet Sacred Heart in the grand final. The game was played as a curtain-raiser before the West Coast vs North Melbourne game in tough wet and windy conditions. The boys, led strongly by Captain Mitchell Grose, dominated the game from the first bounce to run out convincing 47 point winners. Jake Foster was named best on ground in a solid performance at centre half back. Final Score: 9.9.63 to 2.4.16. With strong performances from all the boys this year the competition for spots in all teams is getting tougher with only the most dedicated boys getting games. All the boys are very competitive and have a strong appetite for success, believing they are a real chance to go even further next year. The future of football at CBC is looking bright with such a young, passionate and committed group of footballers coming through the ranks TROPHY WINNERS CBC Rising Star - Mitchell Emery BELT UP CUP Best and Fairest - Sam Menegola, Cameron Eardley Runner Up Best and Fairest - Nicholas Carlson, Michael Ellul Best Team Man - William Grant Most Consistent - Luke Turner Leading Goal Scorer - Sam Menegola Coach's Award - Mitchell Grose SMARTER THAN SMOKING Best and Fairest - Ben Sokol Runner Up Best and Fairest - Benoit Gaffney, Justin Rullo Best Team Man - Ayden Doohan Most Consistent - Kyle Yates Leading Goal Scorer - Alex Sambell Coach's Award - Lucas Humphries

RUGBY
A
nother busy year for Rugby at CBC.
We had four teams compete in the combined schools and colleges competition. Also, our teams played Aquinas, Trinity, Wesley and Christ Church Grammar with some success during the season. Our First XV suffered a few telling injuries early on which hampered what would have been a very successful season. Stand-out players would have to be Liam Phipps, Lex Kuster, Kyle Hodson and Oliver Black. This team was also helped out by Year lOs Jesse Maguire and Oliver Tinley, who held their own at this level. The year lOs acquitted themselves well and just missed out on the finals. Some great performances were given by Billy Timewell, Matthew PetrUlZQ and Ashley Skinner. Both teams were coached by Mr Hart, who put a huge amount of time into the teams. Year 9s had a very successful season under previous CBC player and PE Teacher, Peter Oliver. The boys went through to the semi-finals and were just pipped by John XXIII in extra time. The players who deserve a mention are Captain Declan Pegum, Alessandro Lo Presti, Jordan Paynter and Jordan Robinson. I
I
Our Year 8s also had a very successful season. After playing some hard games in Term Two, the boys started the CSC Competition in Term Three . They peaked at the right time and fought their way through to the Grand Final but were narrowly beaten and came in second. This was a very big squad and it was difficult to give all players a great deal of game time, but the boys stuck at it and this showed great character. Players who were stand-out performers were Alex Skinner, John Hayes, Jack Sunter and Fraser Wigham; and two Year 7s boys who really lifted were Henri Du Cladier De Curac and Alex Burt. Our Annual Trophy Presentation was held at the Left Bank Restaurant where the boys showed that rugby players can eat!!! Mr Donald McNamee Coach
SAILING The 2009 teams' sailing regatta ended up the same as the last two years: we missed the finals by one place. Preparation for the regatta was not ideal; trying to get all the sailors at training was almost impossible. Remember we were training for teams racing, therefore it required all team members to be at training at the same time. No one was to blame for this: we had the Year 12s at dancing lessons in preparation for the school ball. Several sailors had music lessons, and there was also football training to contend with . Fortunately, with a little bit of good luck, we were all together for three long training sessions both on the water and in front of the whiteboard. The actual regatta was delayed due to the lack of wind. After an hour or so the wind came in and the regatta raced into top gear. The results early were promising and late on the first day two bad results saw our second team fall back, and two technical protests saw our first team waiting nervously for a result which came the next day. The decision was not in our favour, and this p.ut us out of the top four and therefore of the finals. Many positives came out of the regatta: we all wore our new sailing shirts, kindly donated by BP, and arranged by Mr Lippman, father of Jake. Fantastic sailing was displayed by many, and therefore we will be looking forward to next year. Wonderful parent support 'was displayed every day ofthe regatta: very little would happen without your help. Thank you. Next year we are hoping to start training earlier, but for this to happen we will need to arrange some fundraising activities. Mr Marius Van Dongen Coach

JAPANESE TOUR 2009 he experience which took place has been going on for fourteen years, and was started by Mrs Akiko Danker. We have had the opportunity to experience Japanese life and the cultural exchange seven times. Each time , commences with the planning of the trip and includes being hosted by the wonderful families of Tohrei High. During our stay in Japan we have participated in student interaction, language and cultural sessions. Some of the experiences have been an excursion to Tokyo, Kendo, Kakejiku (hanging scrolls), sports, cooking, Tokyo Disneyland, Japanese Tea Ceremony, many visits to shrines and temples, and one day to Kamakura, making a thank you card for our host families and the planning of the Sayonara Party on the last day to say farewell. Participants were James Morgan, Jacob Chance, JeanPaul Nunis, Blake Ellis, Daniel Hall, Ryder Kennington-Birch, Jordan Cully and Mr Frank Williams.
T
During this time our host families hqve treated us as the most special guest you could imagine. There is nothing they wouldn' t do for any of us. We experienced such things as the bullet train. To help you understand how fast the bullet train is, it is like going to Geraldton and back in four hours and feeling rested on your arrival! The city of Kyoto was a blend of ancient history and t r a d it ion a I Japanese life, having a different feeling from Tokyo. Some of us visited Mt Fuji which was a 'few hours from our host families. The culinary experience was something words can't describe or maybe fabulous and mouth watering. I look forward to their visit in 2010 and hope that CBC Families will be as gracious to them as they were to CBC students and staff. My word which I used was unbelievable!!!!! Mr Frank Williams
FROM THE BOYS... Japan was awesome. It is so different in the sense that it's an ultra modern country but still is heavily involved with its trad itional culture, which was pretty cool'. Everyone over there was really nice and always went out of their way to deal with you, even the local people on the street. Torei Gakuen was a good school, a little bigger than CBC but a great deal more strict. The constant changing of shoes when entering the school and gym got tiresome but after a while we all got used to it. We were treated very well there by Mr Kashawagi, Rich and Mr Banto. A lot of the students came up to us and tried to practiced their English, which most of the senior students spoke well. Our host families treated us like royalty. I was taken out everyday after school to see the different areas of Fujisawa, Yokahama and Odewara. Most of us have said that while with our host families we didn't felt very homesick at all. The trips to Enoshima Island, Kamakura City and Tokyo Disneyland were the highlights of the trip for me. Jordan Cully
My trip to Japan was the most memorable journey I have ever experienced and I was lucky enough to share every moment of it with six fellow students. We shared our laughter as well as our struggles we were having at home, with our host families. The hardest thing was the language barrier, as most of our host families weren't able to speak English so communicating was very challenging. In the two weeks attending school at Tohrei Gakuen High School, it was quite apparent how disciplined they were. An example of this is the way they moved from class to class without a school bell and how they would sit quietly and wait for their next teacher to arrive without having to be told exactly what to do. During our trip to Japan, we also visited many tourist attractions like Disney Land, Tokyo Tower, Electric City as well as several Buddhist temples. We were also given the opportunity to learn the Japanese cultures, which are very different to ours. For example, once we entered the school grounds or the home of the host family, we had to change from our school black shoes into a "Tatami" sandals, which had to be worn at all times. I had mixed feelings at the end of the experience due to the bond I formed with my host family. Jean-Paul Nunis My time in Japan is an experience I will never forget. At the start I found things to be quite difficult and it was a hard thing to get over the language barrier. The Jyunpei and the Ogawa family put in a lot of effort with their English so I tried to speak as much Japanese as possible which helped remember the three years of studying it. The days at the school were all fun hanging out with CBC mates and then going into classes with my host brother, Jyunpei. The great thing was I had a chance to meet Takumi, the student I hosted last year. Even after school we could go play Basketball with two of the guys who came to CBC last year. The day trips were taking us to some of the beautiful sites around Japan. Tokyo was amazing and Akihabara is something I will never forget. Disneyland was beyond fun. My day trip to see Mt Fuji and the Odawara Castle with the Ogawas was the best day of the entire trip. I can't thank them enough for all they have done for me. I learnt a lot of new things in Japan and just how much different it is to Australia. I would love to go back to Japan again. Daniel Hall hen I arrived in Japan, some of the first things I noticed were that there was nothing like the space we have in Australia and that the technology was much more advanced than in Australia; later into the trip I also found out how good the food is. An aspect that amazed me in Japan was that even though they are greatly advanced in technology, they still cling onto their traditional background, maintaining many temples and with some families still living a traditional lifestyle.
W
When I first met my host family, I realised just how friendly and accommodating the Japanese are as they always insisted on doing everything for me and they strove to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. Of all the places we visited I was most interested in the view from Tokyo Tower, as even though you were around 250m up, you still couldn't see the edge ofthe city and Akihabara, aka "Electronic City", becal:Jse ofthe scale of electronics that the different shops were selling. The city had shops with each floor being dedicated to some form of electronic such as cameras or computer accessories. Another thing that amazed me was how the trains were always perfectly on time and that you have to line up to board the trains and that everything was¡ so clean - in some areas the cleaners even picked up the leaves. I immensely enjoyed every second of my trip to Japan and I would do it again as well as recommending it to anyone who likes to travel or who wants to do something different. Ryder Kennington-Birch
SINGAPORE MUSIC TOUR 2009 n July 6 2009, twenty-one students from the CBCJazz Orchestra, along with Mr Mancuso, Mr Hall, and parents Mrs McNaught and Mrs Keyte, left for the music tour to Singapore. We were all very excited about the coming week. The flight was pretty good and as we also had a large group of girl art students from La Salle College on our plane, some laughs were had.
O
, I; I II
The first noticeable thing, before even leaving the plane was the heat. Passing through customs quickly, we were suddenly on the bus, buzzing uncontrollably, talking about anything and everything. The trip to our hotel was a bit of drive, so most of us took time to look at the surroundings. Clean walls, open sewers and plantation everywhere, it was hard to point out something dirty about the streets. We arrived at 'The Hangout Hotel' and had to be heat-scanned for swine flu, but no one was over the limit. After quickly settling into our rooms, we were anxious to see the rest of the hotel. Many people went down to level two, or the 'veg out' room . With six computers, a pool table, vending machines and coffee to the brim, all of us were happy with the choice of hotel. After settling in we then headed down to a shopping plaza where we had dinner and did some shopping. The plaza here was amazing; with over five levels of shopping, some of us got the gift shopping for others out of the way. After that we headed back to our hotel, to rest up for the next day. Up for a 7:30am breakfast and we were off to see the City of Singapore. We travelled around on a big tour bus, and saw the sights. This included the giant merlion statue that shoots water out of its mouth, followed by a Chinese temple and a fantastic lookout overthe skyline of Singapore. After this we headed to the UWCSEA, which was a college in Singapore that was very grand and had amazing resources. For those that knew Mr Cant, an ex CBC Staff member, this is where he currently works. The music rooms were massive and the amount of instruments there was incredible. After - collecting gear that we were going to use at gigs (thankyou UWCSEA!) we headed back to the hotel and stored all the equipment. Later on, we headed out to do some more sight-seeing and shopping at Clarke Quay. Dinner on this warm balmy evening was in the middle of a road where we were served amazing satay chicken sticks and other delicious meats. On our way home, we stopped by a slingshot ride and some of the more daring people decided to try it out. After a good laugh, and thrills for some, we headed home while some of the older students watched Mr Mancuso and Mr Hall do a gig at a local jazz club. The next morn ing was another early morning: we had to set off to go to Saint Patrick's Military School. Today, we were going to play with one of their very talented military bands. We arrived, having to be scanned for swine flu, and seated to watch them play. We looked on in awe as we watched the massive band playa medley of ABBA classics. After watching the very skilled band, we set up and played a few of our tunes. We were a bit sloppy from being a little tired and still settling in. After this, they asked us to join their band and we joined them in playing their medley of ABBA songs. Personally, I think it wasn't a bad attempt on having a superb lunch with the military band, we had a quick our behalf. A tour of the school and then we were off to the Night Safari. The Night Safari conta ined many exotic animals, and the tribal show was quite unique and interesting. After walking through bat cages and going face to face with leopards, we headed back to our hotel and slept for a big day the next day.
Today, we were going, to play at the shopping centre called 'Vivo City', and it was amazing. It was unbelievably big and some, if not al~ of U,S, got lost at one point or another. The performance at Vivo City was split into two parts, an afternoon session and then a night session. We started at 12:30 and played well, even though it was quite hot. After we finished the set, we were allowed to go shopping. Some people bought clothes, other bought presents and a few of us even decided to purchase some NERF guns for fun . After the free time ~~-----------------------136-
to shop, we started playing again. This time it was night and much cooler, so we were more relaxed and played even better., After returning from Vivo City, some of us decided to head to the roof of tne hotel and have a little sing-a-Iong. Also at the same time, there happened to be a group of German students who were staying in the hotel, and coincidentally were also on the roof. Once they heard some of the songs we were singing with the guitar th came over an oined in and we sung well into the night. Some of us were then asked to play happy birthday for one of the German students, whose birthday was the next night. The next day was a sightseeing day where we started off a tour of the 'Battle Boxes'. This was an amazing underground bunker filled with many rooms and we were shown a re-enactment of the surrender of Singapore in 1942. After this we attended Orchard Road, which was a huge web of streets that contained many different stalls and this was a good time for us to get the rest of our shopping out of the way. Eventually we got to the world's largest indoor rock climbing wall where Dylan, Jake, Cameron, Connor and I decided to take the challenge, and thankfully, we all made it to the top! That evening the city museum precinct had a huge festival of music, dance and everything to do with Singaporean culture. It was interesting to see how another place celebrates and once again the boys were able to check great shopping bargains in the flea markets dotted around the streets. After this we came back to the hotel and we ended up playing happy birthday (not too well either) for the German student and had a bit of a jam with some of them. The next day it was on to visit Jurong Bird Park. It is an amazing landscape with numerous birds all different colours, shapes and sizes. It was wet, and our equipment started to get rained on, so we ended up taking away most of our electronic equipment and putting it under shelter while the rest of the band played. Our music got wet, and we ourselves were very damp, but it was a good performance overall. After "having the chance to perform, we had the chance to look around at the many different birds, and marvel at the variety of birds the park held. Then we had to go back to our hotel and get ready for another performance that night at the fantabulous club IIJitterbugs". After setting up our equipment and eating our dinner we finally got to perform, and I must say this performance was by far our best, and the most exciting and fun performance we'd ever done. At one time we had to conduct ourselves because Mr Mancuso decided to go off and dance. An amazing memory that I know I won't forget is the tap dancer. We had the chance to play along with a tap dancer who had skill beyond belief! It was really something to make that night even more special. It was a long day and many of us collapsed in our beds and fell straight to sleep, excited about the coming day. Once
had dropped the equipment back off to UWCSEA, we were off to the theme park/island Sentosa. It was a small place that had many attractions and people were off in a flash, riding the segues or riding really fast on the go-karts. The long day of fun and adventure ended with a show called "Songs of the Sea" which had unique visual effects and was at times childish, catering to many families, yet fun to watch. On returning to our hotel many of us were sad to have to return home after such an amazing tour of Singapore. Upon returning, although we were worn out, we were thankful to come home to a good home cooked meal and our comfy beds. Overall it was an amazing experience and each and everyone of us is thankful that we had the opportunity to go on this trip. Thank you to all the parents and Mr Hall who came along to supervise and of course a big thank you to Mr Mancuso for organising it! Adrian Vinci Prefect of Community Relations/The Arts -137-
O
n the night of September 23, Perth International Airport was filled with the buzzing excitement of twenty seven students, three teachers and their families, all anticipating the opportunity of a lifetime. For the first time Italian and Visual Arts came together to experience their love affair of all things Italian.
!
il
During our twenty day cultural Italian adventure we visited awe inspiring sights such as the magnificent wonders of Rome, swam in the Mediterranean in serene Sorrento, lost ourselves in majestic Capri, meandered through the quaint narrow streets of Orvieto and cooked up a storm at cooking lessons with the nonne, we accomplished the important two'S' in Florence (school and shopping!), wandered through the fashion capital of the world, Milan and finished in style with the peace and tranquillity that only Venice has to offer. There were many highlights on the trip including playing soccer against the young Romans in Rome, theSistineChapel, the Colosseum, theTrevi Fountain, learning friendly fighting skills at Gladiator school, relishing in a gelato on the Spanish Steps, visiting the ruins of Pompeii, the Blue Grotto, indulging in too many Baci chocolates in Perugina's Chocolate Factory, the amazing art works at the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia to see Michelangelo's 'David' , climbing the 414 steps of the Bell Tower in Florence and the 294 steps to reach the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Ferrari Museum, for the soccer fans San Siro Stadium in Milan and being mesmerised by Leonardo Da Vinci's 'Last Supper', visiting the decadent Doge's Palace and basking in a gondola ride along the canals of breath taking Venice. Nothing was more rewarding than to see our CBC boys wondering through the streets of Italy wide eyed, amazed and in awe that they were standing amongst this beautiful country's famous landmarks. The boys indulged in the culinary delights Italy had to offer with abundant amounts of pizza, pasta and gelato eaten on a daily basis. It was also a wonderful sight to see the Italian students help the Art students order their gelato and nutella crepes in Italian. The Italian students embraced the linguistic experience by practising their Italian at every opportunity while the Art students took advantage to sketch, paint and photograph the awe-inspiring scenery of Bella Italia. In Florence the boys were immersed in the language and art as they attended a Language and Art school for three days. The CBC Italian and Visual Arts Italy tour was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by all! The two subject areas of Italian and Visual Arts married beautifully just liked an icy cold granita on a warm day in Capri or a tantalising bowl of fettuccine ai funghi by the canals of Venice ... On behalf of Ms Calanni, Ms Francis and Mr O'Neill a big thank you goes to the boys for using every opportunity to revel in the delights of Italy and making this a memorable Tour that will always be etched in our hearts. . We look forward to the next exciting Tour in 2011! Ms Angela Calanni and Ms Zoe Francis -138-
FROM THE BOYS... "Wow! What an amazing experience. It was awesome. From the hectic Rome to the floating city of Venice, it was ......... -.~.-- fantastic. The highlight of the trip would have to be the sunny island of Capri or the streets of Florence. My most memorable experience would have to be me eating lkg of Italian gelato ice-cream and climbing the Milan Duomo that took six centuries to build and consists of 3000+ statues. I learnt so much about art and the Italian culture on the trip and it was an experience of a lifetime." Gabriel Wright, Year 10. III had the best time of my life. Rome was the coolest place, all the old stuff was so good . I was amazed by the size and statue of the Colosseum. It is no wonder that so many things here are influenced by the art and structures of Italy. The ice creams take over the ones in Australia. Italy by night is just as good if not better everything is so busy and it is all go with full-on excitement. Everything seems so monotonous now in Australia. I am missing every little bit of Italy. The highlight for me was Sorrent o the views and life style was so good. I learnt so much in art and saw the world's best art work." Sam Monaghan, Year 10. I really enjoyed the trip and thought that is was a very well organised and plan~ed trip, on no small part of Ms Calanni's and Mr Francis's behalf. The trip made me want to go back and remember all of those moments, and explore the rest of such a beautiful country. My most favorite part of Italy was Venice. It was so very quiet and still, and the canals and the many century old buildings made it look extremely beautiful. My most memorable experience would have to be being part of the only group wearing shorts and thongs, at Gardaland amongst the rain storm. It was extremely funny to compare what we were wearing there and what everybody else was wearing. While I was away I learnt a lot of stuff, such as using acrylic paints, which I had had only a little exposure to previously. In conclusion, I think that it was a fantastic trip, and I had a really exciting time and it was my best trip overseas." Martti Siitonen Year 10
DUKE OF EDINBURGH CAMP 2009 he Duke of Edinburgh's Award is an internationally recognised award for young people and aims to develop an individual's skills and talents while at the same time making a commitment to completin~service and an expedition component.
T
Every year all Year 9 students enrol in the Duke of Edinburgh program, and in Term Four travel down to Karridale, near Hamelin Bay, for a five-day expedition that challenges them both physically and mentally. The experience of camp begins when the students arrive at CBC at 7.00am on the Monday morning with bags packed and the excitement and fear of the unknown starting to grow. Once organised and on the buses, it's off to Karridale where the adventure learning company Explorus take and guide the students over the five days. The boys are in groups of twenty students with one teacher and two Explorus staff and are responsible for everything on camp like cooking, cleaning, navigating and equipment distribution. Once at the Explorus bunkhouse students break into their groups and repack their bags, taking only the essentials so there is room for group equipment and food. Once everything is packed it is time to start. Every group did the same activities over the five days but in a different order, so this was the last time they would see some of their mates until Friday. This year there was a change in the program as an extra day of bushwalking was added and the students walked up to 20km on one of their days, completing parts of the Cape to Cape trail. Other activities included a high ropes course, abseiling, caving and swimming. The high ropes course is set in the middle of the Karri forest and is roughly 15m above the ground. Students work in groups of three to complete the challenges and belay for each other, developing trust in their peers. The highlight for most was the flying fox at the end of the challenging and rewarding course. The abseiling was at the WI16 site on Caves Road and had three separate levels - a 10m high ledge and two 30m high cliff faces that were challenging for most students. The caving included a 40m abseil down the narrow gap into Brides Cave. This was a highlight for most of the boys who got to explore the cave and its natural beauty for the first time. The week away was a great opportunity for the boys to get out and explore and see things that most people will never get to see, including trekking through the beauty of the Karri forests and along the pristine and untouched beaches of the south west. Throughout the expedition the boys were required to develop new skills and test themselves in situations that were both confronting and uncomfortable at times. The journey from day one to day five saw the boys grow as individuals and as a group, and they took further steps to become young leaders at the College. At the completion of the expedition the boys were proud of their efforts and those around them, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of exploring the South West; they are now excited about completing the remaining aspects of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
