foreword

a catholic school in the tradition of edmund rice DR WAYNE TINSEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR EDMUND RICE EDUCATION AUSTRALIA

A

t the beginning of our national EREA Congress this year, I heard a clarion call from the student voices for us to articulate what we believe constitutes a good, well-lived and a meaningful life; and what we, as their educators, will offer to help them navigate a complex and uncertain future.

What do we believe is important and what do we commit to as Catholic education in the tradition of Edmund Rice?

We want the young to be happy. However, we want them to know that lasting happiness arises from living in accord with purpose and from living every minute with love, grace and gratitude; lives of decency, kindness, service and authenticity consistent with their inner moral compass. We believe in an education that stresses that happiness cannot be purchased, travelled to, accumulated, worn or consumed.

We hope to awaken in the young the desire to experience the Divine in their lives. We teach that every human being is connected since we are all daughters and sons of God. We want the young to know that, if we live in awareness of our oneness with God, we will be compassionate and loving because this is the very essence of the Divine and it will shine through us.

As a Christian community, we hope that our young will find great inspiration and guidance from the experience of Jesus, who lived his humanity so completely, so lovingly and so selflessly that he revealed the very essence that we call God. We commit to education that helps the young to become co-creators of their world. Education that encourages the cultivation of an inner life and generates autonomy from the demands and promises of our dominant culture. Education that celebrates the good in our society but also offers alternatives to all that oppresses and enslaves the human spirit.

We commit to education that skills the young to unshackle themselves from unexamined opinions and inherited prejudices and develops capacity to question and make meaning, to contribute and live reflectively and compassionately. An education that encourages a life of equanimity and harmony; independent of the

006

CBC jOURNEY 2018

approval of others. We will never be truly happy and at peace until we can live independently of the good opinion of others.

We commit to education that teaches the young that the freedom we may enjoy through the good fortune of our birth, is not license to do whatever we want. Rather, it is freedom to do what we must do for the making of a fairer and more just society. An education that shows that freedom and service are inextricably linked and with privilege comes social responsibility.

We believe that inclusion and the support of the marginalised and disenfranchised of the world is core to the Gospel and the Christian vision for education. We also recognise that exclusion in its many shapes and forms risks betrayal of the Gospel. We believe that authenticity in Christian education is measured by resolve within the community to build happiness and resilience in students and embrace solidarity with the excluded ones. We believe that, when all is said and done, our mission and purpose is simply to be the loving, compassionate and inclusive face of the Divine to all we meet.

We believe that Christian mission gives priority to those whose capacity to experience God and know Divine love and compassion is compromised through circumstances of birth or the trajectory of life. We believe that our response to the plight of those made poor should not be limited to generous acts, but rather, a commitment to advocating for a more just social order for all. We strive ceaselessly to tell the marginalised and the excluded that God loves them and that the Gospel is ‘good news’ for them as well.

As a national community in mission, we accept that our authenticity is rooted in our commitment to these beliefs and commitments. Please pray that this College, and all other Catholic schools in the Edmund Rice tradition, will continue to be faithful to this vision and mission.

principal’s graduation address

goodness is its own reward MR DOMENIC BURGIO PRINCIPAL CBC FREMANTLE

E

ach year, for the past three years, this address has focussed on one of the attributes of the CBC gentleman. Derived from the College’s Journey document, the attributes of the CBC gentleman explicitly detail the aspiration we have for all our graduates. In my experience, this is a rare thing in schools.

Many schools have an aspiration for the results of their graduates; academic, sporting, artistic, etc.

Important as they are, with time the classroom component of your school days wanes. I can still remember the disbelief I felt in Year 11 that my Chemistry and Physics teacher who had studied Maths II and III could not remember about derivatives and integration.

What makes CBC Fremantle a special school is the fact that we partner

with the primary educators, the parents, to help form the best possible young man. The attributes of the CBC gentleman are well-known, or should be. Over the past three years, Mr Kenny has touched on topics including consideration for ‘the other’ and accountability. We will also all remember last year’s moving speech on Gospel Values and the story of Johnson Evans, the little Kenyan boy who, having received a sandwich from Mr Kenny, proceeded to break it up into little pieces and share it among the throng of his peers who had gathered around him. This year, I would like to talk about the fourth attribute: the CBC gentleman is selfless by nature and is able to form positive, mutually-beneficial relationships.

At enrolment interviews, I discuss with families the importance of this attribute in the context of a rite of

passage. Rites of passage aim to do three important things. Firstly they aim to provide a deep and profound sense of belonging; secondly they provide challenge and celebrate its success, and thirdly they move the boy from a child psychology to an adult psychology. It is this last aim that requires a young person to replace himself with others at the centre of his life and is the focus of the selfless attribute.

In order to emphasise the child/ adult psychology difference, I tell a story at enrolment interview. The first part of the story is true, the second part I hope never comes true. The story involves my beautiful grandson Sebastian. On Fridays I often head out to Attadale to visit my daughter and grandchildren. Inevitably, Sebastian will ask, “Nonno, can I please sleep over?” to which I reply, “Of course bello, but >>

CBC jOURNEY 2018

007

Nonno wants to watch the football, so pack your blocks and pack your pencils and anything else you need to occupy yourself whilst Nonno watches the football.” “No worries, Nonno,” comes the reply. “You watch the football and I’ll play with my toys.” Suffice to say, the commitment of a six year old counts for nought, because as soon as we get to Fremantle all bets are off and I’m watching six hours of ABC Kids. All is forgiven because when a child places himself at the centre of his life, it’s cute and forgivable.

Fast forward 12 years, Sebastian is now 18 years old and I’m an old man.

This time it is me asking the favour, “Sebba, Nonno’s not feeling too well.

Can you come and help with the back yard this Saturday?” “Not a problem, Nonno, I’ll be there at 12pm, count on it. Make my favourite lunch and we’ll spend some quality time together!”

On the Saturday midday comes and goes. So does 1.00pm and 2.00pm. My heart sinks by 3.00pm and by 4.00pm I know he’s not coming. This time the failure of my grandson to meet his commitments is not met with the same reaction as before.

What is cute as a kid is ugly as an adult.

Selfishness can be excused in a child; it is never appropriate in an adult. To place others at the centre of your life is what CBC Fremantle is about, and the basis of all healthy relationships.

I am not an expert on selflessness.

I’m not sure why some people have it and others don’t. I’m not sure why it comes naturally to the one, yet with others it grows over time. Whatever the genesis, I have lived enough life to know that it is pivotal to having healthy relationships, healthy relationships are pivotal to happiness, and happiness brings optimal health benefits.

I want to conclude by share a story of a special moment that I shared with my beautiful wife a few years ago.

She had long wanted to visit eastern Europe, in particular Budapest. I was always hesitant until I read somewhere about the Vass Shoe Company that is based on the banks of the Danube in

008

CBC jOURNEY 2018

that wonderful city. Suffice to say, once I knew about Vass shoes, the trip to Budapest was sealed. I guess I’ve got a bit to learn yet about selflessness.

Whilst in eastern Europe we took the opportunity to visit a few other places.

One of the places we both wanted to visit was Auschwitz, not for curiosity, not for voyeurism and certainly not to take tourist pictures. We sought it as a pilgrimage destination with the hope that seeing first-hand the inhumanity of humankind we might come away from that place inspired to live, to love life and to be lifted by acts of bravery, indomitable spirit and survival.

For those of you who don’t know, Auschwitz consists of a number of camps, the three main ones being Auschwitz I, II and III. Auschwitz I was built in 1940 and intended for political prisoners. Auschwitz II, known as Birkenau, was constructed in late 1941, eventually becoming the extermination camp that killed between one and two million people. Auschwitz III was basically a factory camp where slave labour was used to supply the Nazi war machine. In January 2013, Antonella and I took the bus from Krakow to Auschwitz I and II. Auschwitz I is famous for the Arbeit Macht Frei gate. It consists of a number of huge barracks, each once used to house prisoners, now filled to the brim with shoes, spectacles, children’s toys, suitcases, human hair and other reminders of the magnitude of what had happened there, just 15 to 20 years before I was born. Each corridor was lined with photo after photo of the prisoners, their details, the dates of their arrival and of their death. You can imagine the experience is very moving.

Towards the end of the barracks was Block 11. This was the notorious ‘punishment’ block. When I entered this barrack, the sombre mood created by the rest of the camp became even more oppressive, but I felt something drawing me to the end cell. It was here that I found a small shrine to a Saint, and it was here that I experienced as pure an example of selflessness as I could imagine possible.

Like many of you, I was aware of the story of Maximillian Kolbe. I knew there was a school named in his honour. I knew vaguely of the story of his death, but now I was standing in the place of that moment and on the spot where he died.

After the outbreak of World War II, which started with the invasion of Poland by Germany, Kolbe was one of the few priests who remained in the monastery he found himself at the time, where he organised a temporary hospital. After the town was captured by the Germans, he was briefly arrested by them on 19 September, 1939, but released on 8 December.

He refused to sign the Deutsche Volksliste, which would have given him rights similar to those of German citizens in exchange for recognising his German ancestry. Upon his release he continued work at his friary, where he and other friars provided shelter to refugees from Greater Poland,

including 2,000 Jews whom he hid from German persecution. Kolbe also received permission to continue publishing religious works, although significantly reduced in scope. The monastery issued a number of antiNazi German publications before being closed down by German authorities on 17 February 1941. That day Kolbe and four others were arrested by the German Gestapo and imprisoned in the Pawiak prison. On 28 May, he was transferred to Auschwitz as prisoner 16670.

Continuing to act as a priest, Kolbe was subjected to violent harassment, including beatings and lashings, and once had to be smuggled to a prison hospital by friendly inmates.

Prisoners at Auschwitz were slowly and systematically starved to death, the rations being barely enough to sustain a child. Each morning there would be a surge toward the rations being >>

“In my speech to the graduating Class of 2018, I challenged the young men to think of all those who had helped them to this point, and to focus their efforts on bringing joy to the lives of their mothers, fathers, family and friends.”

served: one cup of imitation coffee. In the evening after a day’s excruciating labour, the same surge for some weak soup and half a loaf of bread.

Despite suffering the same ravages of hunger as everyone else, Father Kolbe stood aside until everyone had had their fill, often missing out entirely. In the harshness of that awful environment, Father Kolbe maintained the gentleness of Christ. At night he would seldom lay down to rest, but moved from bunk to bunk saying, “I am a Catholic Priest. Can I do anything for you?” A Protestant doctor reported that Father Kolbe would wait until all others were treated before asking for help, constantly sacrificing himself for others.

At the end of July in 1941, three prisoners disappeared from the camp, prompting the deputy camp commander to pick 10 men to be starved to death in an underground

010

CBC jOURNEY 2018

bunker to deter further escape attempts. When one of the selected men, Franciszek Gajowniczek, cried out, “My wife! My children!”, Kolbe quietly stepped forward, took off his cap, stood before the camp commandant and said, “I am a Catholic Priest. Let me take his place. I am old.

He has a wife and children.”

According to an eye-witness, in his prison cell, Kolbe led the prisoners in prayer. Each time the guards checked on him, he was standing or kneeling in the middle of the cell and looking calmly at those who entered. After two weeks of dehydration and starvation, only Kolbe remained alive. The guards wanted the bunker emptied, so they gave Kolbe a lethal injection of carbolic acid. Kolbe is said to have raised his left arm and calmly waited for his fate.

He died on 14 August and his remains were cremated the following day, the feast day of the Assumption of Mary.

Gajowniczek survived the war, passing away in 1995. He recalled before his death: “I could only thank him with my eyes. I was stunned and could hardly grasp what was going on. The immensity of it: I, the condemned, am to live and someone else willingly and voluntarily offers his life for me – a stranger. Is this some dream?”

As I stood on the spot where Kolbe had died and contemplated this act of supreme selflessness for a stranger I began to think. In a place where survival becomes the only priority and basic instinct, where all the strictures of good manners and grace are set loose, where the inevitability of death is only alleviated by the hope of life, if a man does this for a stranger,

how should I, living in a first world country, with a wonderful family, job and lifestyle, treat others?

What, and where, are the barriers for me in treating others well, selflessly and with respect?

The attributes of the CBC gentleman came together almost serendipitously.

Each year since their introduction, I marvel at how timeless and immutable they are. As I have often said, they provide a fantastic set of personal attributes that makes for a better society. Selflessness does not have to be at the level of Maximillian Kolbe. It starts each day by looking for the good in others. The ‘pleases’ and ‘thank yous’ to those who make your lunch, drive your bus, serve you at the shops. Selflessness can be reflected by

the way you offer your seat to another, open a door, or let mum and dad know each day of your love and gratitude.

Small gestures to those known and unknown by name for no expected return of the kindness; goodness being its own reward.

In my speech to the graduating Class of 2018, I challenged the young men to think of all those who helped them to this point, and to focus their efforts on bringing joy to the lives of their mothers, fathers, family and friends.

I now make the same challenge to the CBC community with the reminder that the only true and long-lasting joy you will ever know is when you do something for someone else.

vice principal’s report

embracing the future MR NEIL ALWEYN VICE PRINCIPAL – TEACHING AND LEARNING

I

t is an exciting time in education with an evolution in teaching and learning that seeks to prepare our youth for future careers that will involve lifelong learning, diverse methods of working, and hearts and minds ready to help build a better world. There is an understanding that many of our students will have jobs that do not even exist yet, and as such a core set of transferable enterprise skills such as digital literacy, problem solving, critical thinking, optimistic mindsets and creativity will be required to thrive in the workplaces of the future.

In 2015, the Foundation of Young Australians commenced a New Work Order research report that revealed a huge increase in the need for these skills in current employment opportunities, as well as showing that, as technology reduces the need for routine manual tasks, the workforce will be required to spend more time focussing on people, solving strategic problems and thinking outside the box.

At CBC Fremantle we embrace the challenge and have been initiating programmes to include these contemporary learning skills. In 2018, the Academic Excellence Programme ran a trial STEM 21st century learning programme based on real-world situations, while focussing on the skills of collaboration, research, critical thinking, problem solving and presentation. So successful was the trial that AEP coordinator Ms Marilyn Schmidt was invited to present the CBC trial model to a national conference in Melbourne. With this success, the College will be introducing strong elements of this programme to our students in 2019 and beyond.

012

CBC jOURNEY 2018

Retaining a dynamic approach, engaging our students and encouraging lifelong learners is modelled by staff who truly love learning. At CBC, our teachers are continually looking at ways to improve their pedagogy through professional learning. They are adaptable to the needs of our contemporary and changing world and all have the same unified goal, which is to assist in the development of tomorrow’s gentlemen, ready to be successful in their chosen vocation.

The proof is in the pudding, as they say, with our students graduating with characteristics distinguished by the CBC gentleman. As we applaud their own individual achievements at their own level, we do not ever lose sight of the fact that we are a privileged school with parents who truly care about their sons’ futures, and having a successful academic ranking is part of the holistic education of our young men.

I wish the graduating Class of 2018 best wishes for their future and I feel confident in saying that they are going forth armed with the best possible information for their success both in the workplace and in their personal lives. I look forward to seeing them again and hearing of their endeavours.

Furthermore, congratulations to our high performing students of 2017 and 2018 whose hard work and dedication to personal excellence is a just reward for the commitment of our teachers.

Congratulations also to Zachary Harris who received a Subject Certificate of Excellence for Physical Education Studies, placing him in the top 0.5% of candidates based on their examination mark. Well done, Zach!

deputy principal’s report

developing today's boys MR GARY BAILEY DEPUTY PRINCIPAL – PASTORAL CARE

T

his year CBC moved to six Houses in order to reduce the number of students under the care of each Head of House and allow for better delivery of Pastoral Care.

The change was as smooth as could be possible and we thank the parents, students and staff who contributed to such a positive transition.

The College never ceases to keep improving its Pastoral Care practises, and this year introduced a school psychologist, Ms Gabrielle Petta, to work alongside our existing College Counsellor, Ms Valma Granich. Between us all, we have, as Mr Burgio likes to remind us, the best Pastoral team ever.

At CBC the Pastoral Board aims to deliver a programme that is built around the three ‘Rs’: Respect, Relationships and Resilience. We start to teach this to the boys during the transition period at the beginning for the new Year 7 cohort. During this time, we build strong relationships between the boys and staff and aim to make sure each student develops a sense of belonging and connection to the College. This transition week for Year 7 boys has proven to be very successful. This year, the Class of 2023 started their high school years receiving excellent positive feedback from staff and parents alike and we aim to keep this flowing through their remaining five years at the College.

Initiatives in 2018 included incorporating more activities for the students during recess, lunch and after school,

014

CBC jOURNEY 2018

particularly for the younger boys. These structured sporting competitions and fun games not only burn off a bit of excess energy, but encourage teamwork, build friendships outside of the boys’ normal circles of contacts and allow leadership skills and service to begin to flourish.

It's so refreshing to hear the boys enjoying themselves playing giant Jenga or listen to their stories about their victory at the indoor soccer in the gym, and I never tire of watching them happily setting up and packing away equipment with care and diligence.

Next year we plan to bring in different activities to allow every boy an opportunity to become involved and excel with his own particular talent. The College will be working with Dr Ian Lillico, a former WA high school principal and now an international consultant in gender education.

Dr Lillico believes the classroom environment is paramount in engaging students but also says that the school yard, that has largely remained unchanged for hundreds of years, is vital for the development of our boys.

I would like to say a very big thank you to all of the staff, parents and boys from CBC who made my first year at the College such an enjoyable one.

DEPUTY principal’s report

BEING EDMUND RICE PEOPLE MS MARRIANN O’NEILL DEPUTY PRINCIPAL – MISSION AND IDENTITY

S

ometimes things that matter most are those that are the most difficult to measure; they may shine when put under pressure, or require active demonstration, but they can just as easily remain quiet, seemingly passive aspects that almost go unnoticed.

simple Touchstones are common to every EREA school in Australia and challenge our College to offer a liberating education, based on a gospel spirituality, within an inclusive community committed to justice and solidarity.

Examples that spring to mind and are very pertinent to our College are faith and love, which are the foundation of the Gospel Values that we embrace, and inform every aspect of our Mission and Identity.

The second set of ideals that are the result of our commitment to the Touchstones consists of the characteristics of the CBC gentleman, which are the traits that we seek to develop in our young men as they engage in the academic, pastoral and faith formation journey at the College.

Springing from the immutable and universal Gospel Values are the College’s two complementary sets of values and ideals. The first is made up of the four Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) Touchstones that provide solid criteria for the College to work towards in order to remain authentic to the charism of Edmund Rice. These deceptively

Tomorrow’s gentlemen will: • form attitudes and actions based on Gospel Values, • strive to be their best and understand the inherent value of doing so, • be accountable, resilient and prepared to face and

• •

overcome challenges, be selfless by nature and able to form positive, mutuallybeneficial relationships, and recognise and value the ‘other’ in their lives.

It is my great honour every year to read all the nominations for the College’s highest accolade, the Edmund Rice Award, which are submitted by our students and staff. The award is presented to Year 12 students who best model the teachings of Christ and charism of Edmund Rice and who, in doing so, have demonstrated a capacity to lead others in their commitment to excellence, justice and faith, therefore embodying the mission of the College.

This year almost 110 nominations for 30 Year 12 students were submitted, accompanied by a supporting paragraph. It is not the number of

boys nominated that is surprising – we know we have fabulous students.

Rather, it is the capacity to recognise all the values and ideals that we hold dear that is most impressive.

With their own words, our gentlemen fill me with hope that the Mission and Identity, the heart and soul of our College lives in them. In recognising and celebrating these ideals in their peers and in taking time to write with such depth and wisdom, I know that they understand what it is to be Edmund Rice people.

Here are just a few of the beautiful words from our students regarding their CBC brothers: “His role as a Eucharistic Minister has presented him as a servant of Jesus’ leadership in the local community.

He accepts praise graciously with great humility. For him, our school

motto of Palma Virtuti seems paramount.”

“He is a great example of living the Gospel Values in the school and wider community. He is courageous in the way he stands by his beliefs and conviction.”

“He always treats others with kindness and respect. He lives his faith and values and is not afraid to stand up for what is right.”

“He is the type of person that brings out the best in others. In terms of valuing 'the other', he is an amazing model in that he meets each person as they are and is very generous, even fearless, in the way he accepts them and shares himself with them.”

“He has a strong sense of justice, and stands up for others in the College who may not necessarily have the strength

to do so themselves. He has invariably puts others’ needs before his own.”

“He shows genuine concern for those around him and takes the time to assist those around him, however it is needed.

He has shown a commitment to Service by volunteering for various events over his time at the College.”

“He never turns away from leadership or service opportunities and has been a tremendous pillar of support for all of us. He is friendly, approachable, and bases his behaviour on gospel values.

“I can trust him and his integrity, and I’m sure he will continue in his growth as an individual, where he may be human and make mistakes, but he will own them, and he will rectify them, as I know he has done in the past.”

board report

serving the community MR GREG BRUCE CHAIR OF THE CBC FREMANTLE BOARD

A

t CBC Fremantle we are blessed with a dedicated and hard-working College Board comprised of current and former parents and alumni, and I thank them for their wisdom and advice throughout the year.

As an Edmund Rice Education Australia school, the Board follows the EREA governance, which provides a clear purpose and mission to members, ensuring a healthy future for the College at every level. Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) states the following: “School Boards work collaboratively with Principals and the EREA National and Regional Executive to provide quality stewardship aimed at offering the best possible learning environment for students attending schools. Such a role will ensure that the school remains faithful to the EREA Charter and is sustainable into the future.”

018

CBC jOURNEY 2018

Further details as to the Board’s specific responsibilities and purpose can be found on the College website.

This year the Board welcomed two new incoming members, Kelly Medin and Bernard Cronin. They both found their feet quickly, and keenly contribute with their energy, opinions and insights.

Along with our other Board members, Tim Allan, Gia Burd, Angie Emanuele and Mauri Mucciacciaro, I thank them for for their dedication and hard work throughout this year.

In August, the Board and College Leadership Team (CLT) met for the annual planning day where our strategic directions and goals were reviewed and revised.

We discussed at depth these issues and put in place action plans that are both achievable and accountable.

We are responsible to ensure our

Values, Vision and Mission are at the core of all our planning and the resulting Strategic Directions document serves as a blueprint for the College in the coming year.

The Board is very appreciative of the contribution and support of Domenic Burgio and Tony Pitos throughout the year and greatly values their counsel and attention to detail. We also acknowledge the outstanding efforts of Mauri Mucciacciaro (Old Boy ’84) as head of the Finance Committee.

It has been a pleasure working with the new CLT, who have seamlessly taken up their roles at CBC. On behalf of the Board, I thank the College staff, parents and wider community for their support throughout the year.

We look forward to serving CBC Fremantle again in 2019.

business report

financial sustainability MR TONY PITOS BUSINESS MANAGER

C

BC Fremantle’s annual operating budget provides the framework to determine the fiscal capacity of the College to accommodate the efficient delivery of education and satisfies the requirements of the College Strategic Plan.

State and federal government grants, tuition fees and income from facilities are the main sources of revenue for the College. If income streams are applied to the outgoings in the College and if there is a segmentation of income and expenditure, broadly the revenue derived from grant income no longer offsets the wages and salaries expense in the College.

Tuition fees are vital to the operation of the College as these service loans and provide funds to enable the general operation of the College.

In 2018 tuition fees and charges were kept to a minimum increase of two percent, which was necessary because of increases in teaching salaries and other general expenses. Pressure continues to be placed on this revenue stream as the future of grant income is becoming more uncertain.

A survey to households of students at CBC was conducted this year as part of a broader national survey produced by the Australian government to determine capacity to subsidise government grant funding. The results will provide further insight into the Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage (ICSEA) of the College.

If this demographic data demonstrates an increased financial capacity of families in the CBC student catchment area, then this may reduce federal and state funding.

Expenditure within the College is allocated to three main areas: salaries and wages, debt servicing, and operations and maintenance expenses.

Salaries and wages is the largest cost area, with teaching salaries the most significant component. Other expenditure relevant to the operation of the College includes utilities and maintenance, and professional development of staff.

With government funding not meeting the cost of wages and salaries, the collection of fees is paramount to enable CBC to continue to develop the resources necessary to keep abreast of new developments in education and provide the optimum in pedagogy.

Nothing has altered since this report last year, with the reliance on tuition fees becoming greater due to movements in the pattern and level of government funding. This is exacerbated by the uncertainty of funding in 2019, with the new model for the next four years due for renewal in 2018 and still not ratified at the year’s close.

Should funding be decreased due to the results of the ICSEA surveys, then fee increases will be necessary in order to retain the fiscal viability of the College. With all of this, the affordability of CBC is foremost in consideration by the College Leadership and an intrinsic part of our commitment to the ethos of a Catholic school in the tradition of Edmund Rice.

The College maintains measurement and control in expenditure to ensure the fees and charges remain significantly lower than other metropolitan boys’ schools.

2018 BUDGET RECURRENT INCOME $17.6M Facilities 4%

Fees 45%

Grants 51%

2018 BUDGET RECURRENT EXPENDITURE $16.9M Operations & Maintenance 26%

Recurrent Debt Salaries Servicing & Wages 3% 71%

Capital development within the College during 2018 included the purchase of a property on High Street.

It is anticipated that rezoning and plans for development will occur in 2019.

Planning and development during 2018 also allowed for a renewal of the College Cloisters with a new statue of Blessed Edmund Rice and a mosaic due to be installed early in 2019. In addition, refurbishment of the computer labs and Finance office were completed as part of continuing renovations at the College.

Ongoing review of the physical environment at CBC Fremantle together with opportunities for future development with the goal of providing the amenity for strong pedagogy and sound educational outcome continues to be a priority for the College.

college captain’s graduation address

reaching for the future BENJAMIN PARKER COLLEGE CAPTAIN 2018

A

s stated by a powerful businessman, “We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.” Here at CBC we have one incredibly strong heart, guided by our motto, Palma Virtuti, “goodness is its own reward”.

We have this beautiful home, our College, accompanied by Fremantle Park and Fremantle pool, and tonight we are facing our destiny. Without realising it at the time, we all signed up at this College for today, to graduate as gentlemen and leave knowing just how much our time here has impacted us.

We came here as boys, scared, shy and full of fears. Now, as I look around, each and every graduate seated here today pays honour to not only the CBC community, but to their families. Our first day here, I remember clear as day, walking through that beam of smiling Year 12 students, not knowing what

020

CBC jOURNEY 2018

to expect, not knowing what to do.

However, from that moment, one thing that I knew for certain was that CBC was the right choice. From then, to our final moment together tonight, there have been so many memories, so many moments, so many laughs that I will cherish forever.

Thinking back over our time here, whether, like me, you have been here the whole journey or you have joined us partway through, each and every day here has been unique and wonderful. Whether it be for the right or wrong reasons, they have all contributed to moulding us into the people who sit here today. We think back to swimming carnivals, the cross country runs, the incredibly tiring athletic days, events which many of us will not compete in again. Times in class where we learnt that new theory,

read that book or struggled through that complex and seemingly impossible question, the recesses and lunchtimes, laughing until our stomachs couldn’t take it anymore. The wonderful tours and immersions, camps, performances and exhibitions.

As well as these, there are the aspects that make this College truly unique.

The annual Edmund Rice Days, where we complete the community and enjoy an incredible day, all while fundraising for important causes.

We have our wonderful Opening Mass, again bringing the whole community together in celebration of Christ being the centre of our lives.

We have our Right Journey programme, typified by our time in Bindoon, the time away from our busy lives that is so pivotal, and of course our final Homecoming ceremony.

“We are the next generation of leaders, fathers, husbands, employees, and employers, and I ask each of you to have a positive impact on the world, to change the world for the better.”

And how can we ever forget our treasured Edmund Rice Anthem. For all the teachers who have come and gone in our time here, to what we have learnt about Maths and Science and English and Religion and HASS, to the friends we have made – all of these pieces makes up our CBC education.

We look back and we are incredibly grateful and thankful for what CBC has taught us, given us and formed within us.

While we will no longer be associated with CBC physically, the fact that we are proud CBC graduates will be everlasting. I can assure you that our successes cannot be confined within these walls. Just by the immense respect shown in public, and the way we address ourselves, as CBC gentlemen, we have the power and the ability to change those around us.

As a cohort, we have already changed lives, from those close to us, to those in the wider community. The incredible impact we have left on those around us, unsurprisingly is just another aspect of a CBC gentlemen.

As it was with primary school, leaving our comfort zone, our little bubble we have become so accustomed to, is incredibly daunting. These routines that are now second nature, the early mornings, struggles to make Mentor, attend House Mass, six periods, 320 minutes of class time per day, has all come to a sudden halt. We have been so busy thinking about the end we have passed it, and are now on our own. Some of us are terribly upset to be leaving CBC; others cannot wait to tackle this great unknown facing us.

Throughout Term 3 I suffered the effects of a serious whiplash injury, limiting my education and concentration significantly. One thing that this made so clear in my mind is

how this CBC community is a family.

I cannot recall just how many teachers, fellow students and even parents offered assistance and advice. This endless support was simply incredible.

Whenever I came through those front gates, this was more than just a place of learning, it was a place of loving; one of supporting and one of genuine care. These are not requirements of any school or college, but they are so vital to our community here. From each student who is given the privilege to attend CBC, to each member of staff who works here, willing to make a difference and mould us into who we are today, this College is so unique.

For our teachers and all the members of staff, this is merely another year gone, another set of summer holidays to prepare for. However, I want to thank all those who have been with us throughout our journey. Whether it has only been through our one and only conversation in Year 7 or through the three years you may have taught us, your impact cannot be put into words. We are eternally grateful and thankful for every interaction and connection we have had. For all the values the school promotes, thank you.

For the way ATAR and TAFE is managed, always in our interests, thank you. For all the time spent preparing for our next interaction, our next class, our next ‘chat’, thank you. The relationship we senior students have with members of staff is incredibly unique, further guiding us into the young men that we leave as tonight.

To our beautiful parents and guardians, I really cannot thank you enough.

Through the tough times and the awesome times, your support and help constantly amazes us. While there is a sense of hope and excitement for the great unknown we are about to enter, having to let go of what has

been our home away from home for the past six years still hasn’t really kicked in yet. Regardless of what we pursue in the future, I know you will be there with us every step of the way, as you have for so long. Although it may appear we are not grateful at times, with our limited, often oneword responses at the end of a school day, and all the time we spent hiding in our room, sometimes studying, other times not, your unconditional love and sacrifice is never forgotten. As a cohort, we hope we have made you proud and are forever thankful for this wonderful opportunity you have given us.

To my classmates, the Class of 2018, thank you. Thank you for the jokes, the fun times, the laughs, the successes and failures, and even the arguments and disagreements. Tomorrow, each and every one of us will wake up as the gentlemen we have hopefully developed into. We will have graduated, and finished our time here.

We are the next generation of leaders, fathers, husbands, employees, and employers, and I ask each of you to have a positive impact on the world, to change the world for the better.

Whether it be on a global scale or by touching the hearts of those around you, as CBC graduates, we have an incredible gift, we have been given an opportunity too precious to waste.

It is now up to us to use that gift as best we can. Whether we cross paths in the future or not, as a CBC brother, as a mate, I truly wish you all the best in your futures.

As I began, I wish to end with another quote from the same controversial US president: “No dream is too big. No challenge is too great. Nothing we want for our future is beyond reach.”

Thank you everyone for everything.

from today’s boys to tomorrow’s gentlemen MR ADRIAN CORREIA TRJ TEACHER AND HEAD OF RICE HOUSE

A

t CBC Fremantle, our community is a vital part of the journey of tomorrow’s gentlemen, providing a sense of belonging and support, as well as the opportunity to experience different perspectives and points of view and embrace ‘the other’.

As they saying goes, ‘It takes a village to raise a child’, and when our community comes together, it is a powerful expression of traditional ways of life and values that are invaluable in the development of tomorrow’s gentlemen.

Our community faith celebrations, including the Opening Mass that launches the academic year, and family Masses that take place each semester, are wonderful expressions of the love, vitality and faith of the College, and are uplifting experiences no matter what your spiritual beliefs may be. Enrolment interviews, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparents’ Day, Year 7 welcome events, The Rite Journey ceremonies, Share the Journey, parent and teacher evenings, assemblies, sport carnivals, the Arts’ performances and exhibitions, Academic Excellence projects and presentations, Awards Evening and Graduation are all opportunities to foster positive relationships that contribute to the consistent message of how to develop as a good young man to the boys who are transitioning into tomorrow’s gentlemen.

It is the CBC journey.

CHOOSING CBC The Class of 2023 commenced their CBC journey on Wednesday 31 January by being welcomed with a Year 12 guard of honour. The boys were introduced to their College Captain, Benjamin Parker, and Vice Captain, Preston Hinton, and split off with their Mentor teachers before spending the morning exploring the campus with their senior year buddies.

Becoming acquainted with their new routine with classes in the afternoon helped the Year 7 boys settle in before the rest of the student population commenced their academic year the following day.

OPENING MASS The College Opening Mass was blessed with good weather in Week 2 of Term 1. More than 1,900 members of the CBC community celebrated the event in the Cloisters, which also included the special inauguration of the College’s new Principal, Mr Domenic Burgio. Six Special Ministers of the Eucharist were commissioned during the service and performed their first public duties ministering

the Holy Eucharist to the community. They were Michael Chalmers, Jess Davie, Preston Hinton, Daniel McShane, Benjamin Parker and Samuel Sanginiti. New parents and staff members were also blessed by the whole community in a warm CBC welcome and reminded of the importance of their role in developing tomorrow’s gentlemen.

SHARE THE JOURNEY Year 7 boys and their dads enjoyed a morning together affirming their special bond at the College’s ‘Share the Journey’ event in Week 7 on Sunday 18 March. Dads shared stories of their past and thoughts of the future with their sons as they strolled from Point Walter to Bicton Quarantine Park, where they heard from Mr Duncan Faulds, the father of the 2016 College Captain, Riley. Mr Faulds brought tears to a few eyes as he spoke about his relationship with his son and the ways they have made time to bond despite their busy schedules. After walking back to Point Walter, Riley spoke to the group, sharing what he admires most about his father and some bonus tips for the often challenging years ahead. Dads then chose a quiet spot around the lake to affirm their love and support for their boys and presented them with a small pin as a memento of the walk.

The morning wrapped up with a sausage sizzle prepared by dads from the Parent Auxiliary, who are the driving force behind the annual walk, assisted by the CBC Prefects.

THE RITE JOURNEY The Calling ceremony launched the 2018 Rite Journey programme for Year 9 students in Week 3. During the year, the boys participated in challenges and activities designed to increase their confidence and awareness of the attributes of a positive male role model. Students from my class joined Mr Burgio and Mr Winnan’s Rite Journey groups and spent a special evening with their mums showing off the new moves they had learned from their dancing lessons. Mr Bailey, Mr Leech and Mr Smith’s classes held family gold class movie nights, complete with platters of food for their very important guests. Mr Burgio’s students put on a special spread for the ladies in their lives, with mums, grandmums, aunties and sisters sharing a long table meal with the female staff of the College with a decorated theme of ‘under the sea’. Mr Shaw invited mums and their girlfriends to be waited on by his boys for a lovely dinner, and Mr Stockton's boys spent some time in the wood workshops with their dads, enjoying a bit of ‘boy heaven’ and making laminated chopping boards. My class held a bowls night for their fathers, with pizza to top off the fun evening, and food was >>

also part of learning the subtle art of social dining etiquette at quality restaurants in Perth and Fremantle.

This year, the Rite Journey programme at CBC attracted national attention, with the ABC television programme, Compass, filming several events and ceremonies and interviewing parents and students in order to produce an episode focussing on the positive power of rites of passage with today’s youth, due to be aired in 2019. The crew also experienced the Rite Journey week, which concluded the year’s challenges with a solo camping experience at Bindoon, where students were encouraged to keep a journal and express their hopes and dreams for their future. During the week the boys also participated in several adventures along the Swan River including an Amazing Race, sailing catamarans and a Retreat.

RECOMMITMENT The journey to becoming a CBC gentleman involves being prepared to face challenges and accepting accountability for your actions, and the next step in the journey occurred in Year 10 when students gained an understanding of the work and commitment required for senior school. Selfexamination was crucial, and honest evaluation and guidance provided by Careers Days and Learning Area teachers assisted in the process. The Year 10 Retreat also allowed the boys to reflect on their commitment and to ponder their future.

THE SERVANT LEADER In 2018, there were 42 Prefects in a cohort of 144, who provided invaluable assistance to the College community and were excellent role models to the younger boys.

Balancing schoolwork with service, these young men continually rose to the challenge of being accountable and resilient, and showed themselves to be worthy leaders of the student population. They assisted the Year 7 students to settle and adjust to their new school, and cooked breakfast for the Class of 2017 at the Year 13 breakfast. They assisted at every College event, behaving with maturity, leadership and a positive mindset. They gave up their time to help at Share the Journey and countless community service activities including City to Surf and The Long Table for St Patrick’s in Fremantle. They were magnificent ambassadors for the College at the Music performances, sporting activities and general community events throughout the year.

Year 11 students stepped up to their role as future leaders of the College, assisting at many significant events including the Opening Mass, Year 9 Dance Social and Year 12 Graduation ceremony. We would regularly put the call

024

CBC jOURNEY 2018

out for an army to set up and pack up chairs, clean up and provide invaluable support on campus. Out in the community, the young men were active with Soup Patrol and Good Start Breakfast, supporting metropolitan providers of assistance to people in need. Students collected donations for hampers and worked diligently at St Patrick’s Community Support Centre. House activities, Edmund Rice Day and the Year 11 Business & Management class were successful in raising funds for various charities, as well as promoting awareness of the plight of people in need who are often at the margins of society.

CBC students also showed their support for a world of peace in sympathy with their peers at Edmund Rice schools in the USA by advocating for tighter gun laws with the social media campaign #neveragain.

GRADUATION The journey at CBC has one destination: the graduation of a good young man with the attributes of a CBC gentleman.

After six years of developing into a CBC gentleman, on the last day of Term 3 the Class of 2018 was farewelled with an emotional Year 7 guard of honour. Early in the following term, the young men gathered with their families for the Graduation Mass and ceremony. At St Patrick’s Basilica, the traditional procession of symbols to the altar was performed by Stefan Bormolini, Angus Grant, Preston Hinton, Samuel McPhail, Daniel McShane, Kaleb Milsom, Jenkyn Morgan, Samuel Sanginiti, Nicholas Veletta and Beau Ward, and House flags were carried by Damiano De Gennaro, Joshua Goodwin, Jason Jakovcevic, Justin Oliveri, Alexander Winner and Lachlan Yurak.

At the ceremony in the College gymnasium, special performances from the Year 12 musicians Timothy Bayley, Dylan Clifford, Alexander Faccin, Jacob Fitzgerald, Marcus Lomma, Jason Quintiliani, Finn Stumbles, Theodore Terzoudis-Lumsden, Edward Tydeman and Beau Ward highlighted the versatility of the graduating cohort. Callan Howe-Robinson and Michael Palmiotti spoke of the symbols of their journey, with Callan choosing Cathy Freeman’s history-making 400m gold medal race in the 2000 Olympics to capture the perseverance required to overcome challenges, and Michael selecting the ocean to best reflect the storms and tranquility of his time at CBC. Finally, Benjamin Parker delivered his last speech as College Captain, focussing on the support, encouragement and fellowship that made his years at CBC feel like “home away from home” for six years.

old boys’ association report

tomorrow’s gentlemen TERRY IANNELLO ('59) OLD BOYS’ ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT

I

t was my absolute pleasure to welcome the Class of 2018 into the Old Boys’ Association at their graduation ceremony in October. As the fine young men crossed the stage that evening, I was struck with a feeling of awe that the history and tradition of the school that I attended all those years ago is still going strong, in fact it is going stronger than ever.

What impressed me with these young men, today’s gentlemen, was not only their comparative elevated stature, but their politeness and genuine attitude of service. In fact, it is quite a noticeable trait in CBC students that I have noticed over the years, be it on the bus when a boy in a green blazer will stand back for an elderly passenger, or in the supermarket when a young man will politely engage in eye-to-eye conversation while he processes my groceries through the checkout, I can usually tell that he is, like me, a ‘CBC boy’.

In the second half of this year, we brought more than 120 CBC boys back

to their school to be reunited with their classmates and share memories. The Over 60s’ Morning Tea is a highlight on the calendar and we thank Old Boy John Hughes (‘52) for sponsoring the event.

The Classes of 1998, 2008 and 2013 held their 20, 10 and five year reunions respectively, which were well attended.

Thank you especially to Trevanna Cooper, Craig Jones and Shane Mancuso for coming along to support the reunions and to catch up with their past students – it really completes the circle when our alumni reunite with not only one another, but also their previous teachers.

In March we held our annual Alumni Awards and All Ages Reunion. This is the third year that we have been running this initiative and it is an extremely heart-warming and inclusive evening.

Old Boys from the Class of 2016 through to us ‘ancient ones’ attended and the atmosphere was so friendly you would think you were at a family get-together! It was one of our best events and the highlight of the night was the presentation of three awards to

gentlemen who are doing exceptional deeds in their fields of endeavour.

John Hughes (’52) received the Brother Patrick Kelly Award for Leadership; Dr Ryan O’Hare Doig (’08) was presented with the Community Award, and Luke Whelan (’06) took away the Rising Star.

As usual, this year we provided the James McGowan Bursary for a boy who would otherwise not have access to an education at CBC, and every Old Boy should be extremely proud of this continuing tradition.

Another significant presentation was the Old Boys’ Award which goes to the student who received the highest ATAR at CBC in the previous year. In February, it was my pleasure to present this award to Samuel Sheridan at a College assembly.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Old Boys’ Association committee members for their help and support throughout the year: George Ayres (’50), Frank Lo Presti (’76), Kevin O’Brien (’49), John Parker (’48), Toby Prunty (’06) and Graham Taylor (’77).

music parents’ group report

hitting the right note STEVEN EVERETT MUSIC PARENTS’ GROUP PRESIDENT

T

his year was especially exciting for the CBC Music Parents' Group (MPG) because 21 of our wonderful sons were provided with the opportunity of a lifetime to play some fabulous music in various venues around Singapore.

From all reports, social media updates and videos, the boys had a wonderful time, and the trip will no doubt remain a memorable highlight from their time at CBC. Many thanks to all past and present MPG members and the CBC community for their contribution to our events, which subsidised the cost of the trip for our Music families. Our fundraising efforts are now focussed on the next tour planned to take place in 2021.

We had some fantastic events in 2018. Jazz on the Swan, Ellington Jazz Club and the CBC Music Festival were extremely enjoyable evenings with the added bonus of being major fundraisers for the MPG. They are always well supported by the CBC community and of course we see some amazing performances from our boys whose musicianship never fails to impress.

I especially thank all those people who very kindly donated prizes for our raffles. Many local businesses were very generous, even more appreciated in these challenging times. CBC families also provided prizes which really contributed to our fundraising success and also made the evenings a lot of fun.

028

CBC jOURNEY 2018

The MPG is involved in all the Music events held during the year, from organising the morning and afternoon teas at the camp, to loading and unloading music gear, and of course selling as many raffle tickets as we can.

I would like to thank our Vice President, Simon Carrick, and Secretary, Suzanne Waters, for all their help and support during the year. I also thank our amazing committee: Odile Bell, Gina Blakemore, Annique Buckland, Arpana Burke, Mark Campana, Beth Carello, Anita Cook, Lee-Ann De’Pannone, Tanya Dowse Kerr, Gavin and Marianne Folley, Tundi Gosselink, Eileen McKenzie, Laurie and Tanya Quintiliani, Chrissy Smyth and Rachel Tiller-Jeffery.

As our Year 12 boys move on from CBC, so do some of our committee members, so a special thanks and farewell to Anita Cook and Chrissy Smyth who will be leaving the MPG this year. Their contribution over the last few years has been really appreciated.

Of course a big thank you to all the teachers involved in the CBC Music programme. The progress our boys make in their musical development over the years is a credit to the department.

Finally a huge thank you to Mr Shane Mancuso and Mrs Emma Tandy not only for their dedication and guidance during 2018, but especially for looking after the boys who experienced the Singapore tour in 2018.

parent auxiliary report

sharing the cbc journey JOHN ATKINSON PARENT AUXILIARY PRESIDENT

I

n 2013 my son Jaidyn commenced at CBC and I am positive that neither of us knew exactly what impact this school would have on our lives. It’s just a school, right? Just drop him off in the morning and collect him in the afternoon, go to the meetings and smile in the right places … right?

Fast forward six years, and it does go fast, and we now know that CBC has provided my family with a sense of community and inclusivity that is rivalled only by my extended family and the brilliant place I work in, which is itself an iconic institution in Fremantle and a whole other story.

This feeling cast a glow over my final year as President of the Parent Auxiliary and lent a special poignancy as I watched my son graduate with his Class of 2018 cohort. Along with my retiring PA peers who also watched their young men cross the stage at Graduation – Ronnie McPhail, Judy McShane and Brenda Munro – we have finally nailed the right amount of cheese required for the catering at the Year 7 Parent Wine and Cheese welcome evening, the skill of buttering those mountains of scones and cutting slices for the Mother’s Day Morning Tea, the number of bottles of Prosecco required for the Visual Art Exhibition and the art of planning ahead for the Open Day sausage sizzle, and our experience paid off. These events were incredibly well attended and behind the scenes was like a welloiled machine. We love to be involved in the school’s community activities, making friends and helping out.

It has truly been a lot of fun – even those scones!

Share the Journey once again was a wonderful morning, better than ever I have to say, and I thank the PA helpers

and the College Prefects for giving up their time to make sure this event remains a highlight on the calendar.

The mothers’ Relationships Australia workshops were also well attended and the Father’s Day breakfast was brilliantly handled by our mums. Thank you so much to all who contribute in so many ways.

It is with great confidence that I leave the Parent Auxiliary in the hands of my successor, David Contera, whose sons Ethan and Lucas are in Year 11 and Year 8 in 2018. David has helped out at many events and his food prep skills are second to none, so the College community is in safe hands for a few years yet!

Thank you and best wishes for all the future PA events and initiatives. Remember, I am only a phone call away, but if I hear the word ‘scones’ I am warning you that I might just hang up!

“Kelly House didn’t take the lead in any of the major sporting competitions this year – Swimming, Athletics or Cross Country – but we do have a few surprises coming through in our junior years.”

the heart of compassion MR CRAIG JONES HEAD OF KELLY HOUSE

T

his is the year that all of the boys who became part of the new Kelly House made CBC history, and for the inaugural year, it has been a very exciting and busy time.

I surveyed the Year 7 students and asked them what they thought about various aspects of Kelly House and the College. Overwhelmingly, while they felt nervous yet excited, they said it didn’t take long to settle into the CBC way of life.

Meeting new teachers, being involved in lots of different activities and events created a positive transition from primary school.

The Year 7 boys enjoyed their Orientation week, something new for 2018, and it allowed the students to get to know teachers directly associated with Kelly House. The boys

034

CBC jOURNEY 2018

did an excellent job in creating a banner and chant to celebrate their new alliance.

Kelly House didn’t take the lead in any of the major sporting competitions this year – Swimming, Athletics or Cross Country – but we do have a few surprises coming through in our junior years. There was always an excellent display of House spirit with all of the boys being involved in the events and doing the best they could.

House Week was a huge community event and it was excellent meeting the parents of Kelly House boys.

The money raised was divided amongst the six houses and we made two donations to extremely worthy causes.

The first donation was to a former student who was competing in a bike ride for Youth Focus and the second was made to the Edmund Rice Ministries in the Philippines to fund sustainable projects.

At the end of September, we saw the Year 12 students leave us to commence their journey into exams, TAFE or the workforce. Good luck to the Class of 2018 and we look forward to seeing them back at the College in the future.

To end the year, I would like to thank the boys and their parents for supporting all aspects of Kelly House. I would especially like to thank the Kelly House Mentor teachers.

Every school day they ensure each boy’s pastoral needs are met with care and diligence.

“Our College Prefects and House Councillors consistently provided huge support for the many events and initiatives at CBC throughout the year.”

the passion of integrity MR JUSTIN LEECH HEAD OF MORGAN HOUSE

T

he motto for Morgan House is ‘Integrity’ and this is a quality that all members of our mighty clan should strive to embody. When reflecting back on the year, I can’t help but feel a strong sense of pride. Whether in the area of Academics, Service, Sport or the Arts, the students of Morgan always display integrity.

We began the year with the Swimming Carnival and the excitement was palpable amongst the boys, especially the Year 7 students. While we didn’t win the cup, the encouragement, excitement and support shown by the boys was extremely pleasing. They carried this enthusiasm and determination into the House Cross Country competition, attaining some fantastic results amongst all year groups, which led to Morgan being crowned the overall winners.

With victory at the Cross Country, the boys were quite confident heading into the Athletics Carnival. It proved to be a tight contest all day with Morgan only just falling short of

038

CBC jOURNEY 2018

winning the prized trophy. The boys performed exceptionally well in the individual events as well as the relays, but the most pleasing thing was seeing the humility displayed in a close defeat.

Service is a key component of the CBC gentlemen, and events such as House Week, Caritas, the Christmas Appeal and Edmund Rice Day highlight the support for those in need in our local and global community. The generosity shown by Morgan families is greatly appreciated. Funds raised during these events go a long way to assisting a number of local and international charities. This year Morgan House raised valuable funds for Black Dog on a Lead, an organisation that raises awareness of Mental Health issues in society.

Our College Prefects and House Councillors consistently provided huge support for the many events and initiatives at CBC throughout the year. Without them a number of events simply would not occur. The graduating Class of

2018 has been an extraordinary cohort, providing fantastic support to the Mentor Groups and being fine role models for the younger students. I wish them all the best for their future endeavours.

The boys of Morgan House are privileged to have some extremely dedicated and wonderful Mentor teachers who are pivotal in providing pastoral care to each student under their care. I would like to acknowledge Mr Geoff Buss, Mrs Samantha Emslie, Ms Danielle MacDonald, Mr Jason Matthews, Mrs Petrina Richmond and Mrs Silvia Romagnoli for their tireless efforts this year.

Lastly I would like to thank each Morgan House student for their individual efforts during 2018; it has been an excellent year for the boys in red and I look forward to 2019.

“At CBC we challenge all of the boys to lead in some capacity and it has been fantastic to see our O’Connor young men step up in one way or another.” .”

the power of service MR PATRICK RYAN HEAD OF O’CONNOR HOUSE

B

lessed with a solid draft of quality young men and dedicated staff, O’Connor achieved great things this year. A new House in 2018, we quickly bonded, guided and supported by our fantastic group of Mentor teachers: Ms Ali Connell, Mrs Carol Denny, Mr Louis Miller, Ms Shelley Nodwell, Mr Christopher Pietroniro and Ms Lisa Tognolini.

In the first meeting with our Year 12 leaders there was a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect amongst the group, a team of quality individuals willing to work together to support and lead our House in whatever capacity they were required. The way they welcomed and gathered the new Year 7 cohort under their wing was heart-warming to observe. At CBC we challenge all of the boys to lead in some capacity and it has been fantastic to see all of O’Connor young men step up in one way or another.

House Week was a highlight of the year, with O’Connor embracing the opportunity to participate in all activities,

042

CBC jOURNEY 2018

be it breakfast or Jenga, repechage or basketball. It was great to see so many families enjoying the atmosphere of the House Week breakfast and many taking the opportunity to visit Mentor Groups.

Our first foray into the sporting arena was a resounding success. To win the Swimming Carnival in the first term of our inaugural year was a phenomenal effort. Solid efforts in the Cross Country and Athletics Carnival were also great sporting achievements, of which the boys can be very proud.

Throughout the year, O’Connor House boys continued to excel in all areas of the College. Many students have been involved in the Academic Extension Programme and some academic results have been outstanding.

Their contribution to the Arts cannot be denied, with strong representation in the Music, Drama and Visual Arts programmes. With ‘Service’ as our motto, it was encouraging to see many of our boys happily

volunteering to assist on many occasions in a variety of settings throughout the year.

The graduating Class of 2018 have made a significant contribution to the College and I wish them all the very best in the years ahead. They have provided great leadership and support to all of O’Connor House and helped to create a strong foundation on which to build a successful future.

Being blessed with the opportunity to be the inaugural Head of House for O’Connor is a privilege and an honour that I share with all O’Connor students. We’ve made College history together being the first group to wear the purple shirt and I’m confident we will build on the successes of 2018.

etermination is the motto on the Patrick crest and one thing that stands out above all else in 2018 is how each young man was determined to give his personal best throughout the year. Although Patrick House was not successful in winning any of the major sporting events, each young man displayed a positive attitude, great sportsmanship and personal excellence on the playing fields and in the classrooms.

Service to others is a key component in the development of a gentleman who is prepared to shape a better world and events including House Week, Edmund Rice Day, the Caritas collection and the Christmas Appeal capture the generosity and genuine concern that members of Patrick

House have for the wider community. The funds raised this year enabled us to assist the work of St Patrick’s Community Support Centre and I am extremely proud of the efforts of the boys in one of the most vital aspects of College life. I am also very grateful and humbled by the level of support offered by our Patrick families with our numerous activities and events.

Patrick House is blessed to have dedicated, supportive and caring Mentor teachers who are vested in the development of each young man within their group.

Thank you to Miss Emily Bowran, Mrs Alana Edwards, Dr Aidan Holohan, Mr Daniel Kennedy, Ms Leanne Ogden and Mr Jeremy Peris for their ongoing guidance and support.

The graduating Class of 2018 have been fantastic leaders throughout their time at the College and have achieved so much individually and as a cohort.

They have been excellent role models to the younger students in the Mentor groups and their positivity and presence will be missed by all. I wish all of them the best in their future endeavours.

I congratulate each young man in Patrick House for his efforts this year; thank you for making my first year as Head of House memorable. It has been an outstanding year and I look forward to 2019 with great anticipation.

“We have a fine group of young Catholic leaders in Rice House and these gentlemen should be proud of their many achievements."

the energy of endeavour MR ADRIAN CORREIA HEAD OF RICE HOUSE

T

he students of Rice House have had a very successful year and I have been proud to see the passion, spirit and endeavour these young men have shown in all areas of the College.

The year commenced with our Year 12 students welcoming the Year 7 cohort into the College. Their guidance and support provided the newest members of our community with a smooth transition into life at CBC. The mentoring they provided throughout the year was extremely important in their formation as tomorrow’s gentlemen and it was fitting to see the Year 7 boys show their appreciation at the Year 12 final assembly as they formed a guard of honour. This was a very special moment and a highlight of the school year.

In the sporting arena, the competitors of Rice House gave it their all. The beauty of the College carnivals is

050

CBC jOURNEY 2018

that the scoring system is based on participation and the boys putting in their best effort. This is something that is ingrained in all of the gentlemen of Rice House. During the Swimming Carnival I was impressed with the way the students continually put their hand up to swim in a race when we were short of participants or offer to help out in the stands. This House spirit was again on display during the Cross Country and Athletics carnivals where the boys were outstanding. Unfortunately, the enthusiasm wasn’t reflected on the scoreboard, but the boys endeavour cannot be questioned and they should all be very proud of their efforts.

House Week was an overwhelming success with students embracing every element, demonstrating their outstanding talents across all areas including Music, Sport, Service, Academics and Debating. The highlight of the week for me was the response we received from families. The attendance

at the family breakfast was incredible, with a large number of parents taking the opportunity to join their son for Mentor Group. It was great testament to the welcoming community we have at CBC and it was excellent to see all six Houses combine their fundraising efforts. Rice House raised $2,000 that we donated to the Peru immersion, funding materials to build homes for families in need.

The Arts showcased the vast amount of creative talent our students have to offer with music performances and the annual Visual Art exhibition. This hard work and commitment showed, with Rice House once again leading the school in this area, which was reflected in the Arts section of the Wedd Cup scores and our rock musicians taking out the extremely competitive Battle of the Bands during House Week.

Rice House Prefects and House Councillors did a magnificent job this year helping me with events, carnivals, fundraisers and activities that have been influential in generating House spirit. We have a fine group of young Catholic leaders in Rice House and these gentlemen should be proud of their many achievements.

The graduating Class of 2018 has been an amazing cohort and achieved so much during their time at the College. They have consistently been excellent role models for the younger boys in the Mentor Groups and I wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

I would like to thank our wonderful Mentor teachers: Mrs Amelia Andrew, Mrs Nicole Christie, Mr Mitchell Di Virgilio, Mrs Zoe Francis, Mrs Stavroula Hantzis, Mr Frank McTernan and Mr Adryan Winnan, for their outstanding work and support they provide the students of Rice House. With teachers of this ilk, it is no wonder CBC Fremantle produces such delightful gentlemen.

Sadly, this will be my last year as the Head of Rice House. Thank you to all the Rice families for the support, enthusiasm and friendship over the years. It has been amazing to be a part of such a special community. I hope 2019 brings you happiness, success and joy.

"We have some very talented performers in Samson House who have demonstrated their commitment to the Arts by regularly attending rehearsals before and after school, and giving it their all for the evening performances."

the honour of courage MRS PAULINE VAN LOHUIZEN HEAD OF SAMSON HOUSE

O

ur year commenced with a welcome to our new leaders in Year 12 and our new members in Year 7. The time spent together before formal lessons started was invaluable and our Year 12 cohort truly embraced their new role demonstrated by their unconditional patience and guidance.

This year Samson House had one of the biggest Opening Mass attendances in a long time. This event really binds us together as a school community; the setting sun, a cool sea breeze, the fresh faces of younger siblings and the musical accompaniment makes it a unique event in our College.

The family breakfast as part of House Week is also a wonderful community event. The Prefects were instrumental in making the egg and bacon burger stand a popular venue,

054

CBC jOURNEY 2018

which was initiated by Samson House in 2017. A variety of events were held during the week, including, of course, the popular King of the Cloisters competition.

We must not forget the annual Swimming Carnival, held at the end of February. I was so encouraged to see many of our boys volunteering to participate in races that they knew they may not excel in. This demonstrates true sportsmanship and a willingness to give it a go. The final results between first and second was the closest ever on record; separated by less than 70 points, Samson House earned a very respectable second place. After the carnival, the crew who recorded the points after each race told me that the scores were consistently close, and that the number of Samson boys participating in the events was exceptional.

We have some very talented performers in Samson House who have demonstrated their commitment to the Arts by regularly attending rehearsals before and after school, and giving it their all for the evening performances.

I recollect many conversations with our dedicated music students after one of these evenings as they yawned through a class. We celebrate their commitment to personal excellence and congratulate them for coping with the challenges.

religion and life MS SARAH QUIN HEAD OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

T

his year Religion and Life reflected on how we embrace Religious Education for the 21st century learner.

We collaborated with the students at Iona with an Interfaith Immersion Day and the Year 11 ATAR Seminar Day. We embraced technology in the way information was presented for students and by students, and examined how our boys engage with technology to learn about the world around them.

We guided students in their critical reflection and challenged them to find ways that they could make the world a better place. We actively encouraged them to be tech savvy, innovative, creative and reflective in areas such as the environment, human interactions and social justice.

Religion and Life also worked on the academic rigour and skills of the students. We developed the specific skills of analysis, explanation and investigation required for students to work in a constantly evolving world.

We ensured that students were empowered by the ‘Elevate’ lessons

070

CBC jOURNEY 2018

introduced into the pedagogy of the lessons and, through differentiation and variation of assessment and validation, we aimed to involve all students in their learning in ways that are valid and transferable.

We also developed the links between the Catholic Education mandated content, the EREA Touchstones and the CBC Journey document.

The core Touchstones of Liberating Education, Gospel Spirituality, Inclusive Community and Justice and Solidarity are central to the Christian message, and complement both the mandated content and the SCSA syllabus. In linking these documents we seek to ensure that students feel a sense of confidence and ownership in their development as CBC gentlemen.

In Religion and Life we try and unpack the wisdom of the Church in ways that are appropriate so students can understand both the sacramental and doctrinal nature of the Church.

This understanding of the practices

and teachings of the Church leads to a greater understanding of what it means to be a part of an inclusive Catholic community. Religion and Life tries to give students an understanding of who Christ is and tries to develop the students’ understanding of the Gospel Values of compassion, justice, integrity, solidarity, love, hope, peace, forgiveness, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, charity and service, and how these values make up the lived experience of faith.

This year Religion and Life continued to engage our young men in conversations about values, history, morality, practises and traditions and how these notions fit in the world they live in. We encourage families to continue these conversations at home, so together we help our students to become informed by Christian values and empowered with a sense of justice to shape a better world.

lighting the spiritual candle MR MATTHEW SILVEIRA LITURGIES & RETREATS COORDINATOR

In 2018 the scope and sequence of our Retreats were systematically implemented for all the year groups, with a focus on the evolution of a consistent and meaningful message encouraging the graduating gentlemen of CBC to go out and be witnesses of the Gospel Values. Deputy Principal for Identity, Ms Marriann O’Neill, played a vital role in this development, along with a few other committed staff members who ensured the retreats were successful and effective. The subsequent reviews of our Retreats will help us to work on making the students and the retreat staff more interactive, which in turn contributes to a much more powerful experience.

The formation of the boys to be faithful to the four EREA Touchstones has been my dauntless pursuit since I commenced in 2015. The engine room of the spiritual energy is the worship and Retreat hours the boys spend during their journey to realise the CBC journey of today’s boys to tomorrow’s gentlemen.

The core of Catholic life emanates from the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. The weekly Mass held every Thursday in Blessed Edmund Chapel serves to be the most vital source of spiritual nourishment to the whole CBC community. We are privileged to be imbued with the spirit of Christ through these gatherings, thanks to the contribution of the hosting and participating Mentor classes and their teachers, who have been an absolute pleasure to work with.

A special mention of thanks is due to our Principal, Mr Domenic Burgio, and Ms O’Neill, for their active participation in Liturgies by referring to the Gospel of the day and the homily.

072

CBC jOURNEY 2018

The most significant part of the liturgical calendar occurs during the first term, commencing with the grand Opening Mass, followed by the Ash Wednesday Liturgy, weekly Masses, Year 10 Retreat, Reconciliations and the beautiful Easter celebration.

One of the highlights of the second term was the Mother’s day Liturgy, which is unique to CBC with mothers, grandmothers and students actively involved and contributing to the warmth of this special event.

In the spirit of our beloved patron, Blessed Edmund Rice, who followed the path of the Gospel of Christ, growth in spirituality is the most significant part of the students’ journey at CBC, and the Retreats are a vital component in this development. The Years 7 and 12 Retreats encouraged intensive reflection on the call of Christ, and the Year 11 Retreat prepared students for the ‘climb’ towards becoming a CBC gentleman.

The Year 10 Retreat invited students to be fully immersed in the practical life of service as boys volunteered for the day at places like homes for the aged, Wheelchairs for Kids, St Patrick’s Community Support Centre and feeding the homeless by cooking meals for Manna. The contribution of our committed staff of CBC to the great success of the Retreats were phenomenal and I thank Ms Angela Calanni, Ms Sarah Quin and Mr Matthew Stockton, just to name a few.

The two highlights of the final term were the Graduation Mass and the final stage of The Rite Journey for Year 9 students. The final Mass was a moving ceremony with Year 12 students taking several roles in the

Liturgy to make it a meaningful and spiritually enriching experience for all the cohort, their family and the staff.

The Rite Journey came to a culmination with the Retreat ‘Near Restful Waters’ facilitated by myself, Mr Jeremy Peris and Mr Sandro Sandri. The day provides a unique ability to bring home the message of the Gospel as the students were guided through a simulation of walking along the Sea of Galilee, while actually they were using the shores of the Swan River. Mr Sandri integrated the teachings of Christ in four different stations representing the Galilean towns Capernaum, Bethsaida, Tiberius and Gennesareth, providing the students with a deep spiritual experience. The ceremony of washing of the feet modelled after the Last Supper of Jesus epitomised the day’s events, which led the students to a vital transformation during their journey towards manhood.

The commitment of CBC to the spiritual growth of the whole community is expressed through the Family masses that take place in St Patrick’s Basilica. The different roles played by the students of CBC in the Eucharistic celebrations and the singing of the CBC choir make it a vibrant and very special evening.

The Special Ministers of the Eucharist are trained for distributing Holy Communion at nearly 50 College Eucharistic celebrations during the course of the year. Michael Chalmers, Jess Davie, Preston Hinton, Daniel McShane, Benjamin Parker and Samuel Sanginiti performed this service with deep commitment and love for their community and I thank these young men for their courage to be true to their faith and stand up for their

ABOVE Mr Silveira with Alexander Buckland and Benjamin Lye (Year 11).

beliefs. The valid contribution of Miss Maria Garbin towards the sensational sessions of formation of these students is to be acknowledged with thanks and appreciation.

The spiritual epitome of the College was the Kairos Retreat for 24 Year 11 students searching for spiritual enlightenment. The four-day immersion was facilitated by Mr Keane Bourke, Ms Emily Bowran, Ms Trevanna Cooper, Mrs Rosalba Jeffreys, Mr Jason Matthews, Mr Jeremy Peris and Mrs Emma Tandy, with a valuable contribution from a few former students of CBC. Our sincere thanks to Ms Cooper for her flawless organisation.

The role of Our Blessed Virgin Mary in the economy of salvation by cooperating with her Divine Son

Jesus is never to be ignored. Initiated

by Dr Aidan Holohan and Mr John Hortense, the Rosary group of CBC seeks the intercessions of Mother Mary every Tuesday morning, meditating on the life of Jesus through prayerful recitation of the Rosary.

It is my pleasure to acknowledge the mighty contributions of Ms O’Neill, especially by making the Retreats truly successful this year, and the everwilling support and input of Ms Quin and the RE staff. The dedication and commitment of Fr John Sebastian to all our Liturgies and Retreats, and the cooperation of all the staff and parents, especially for the weekly College Masses, deserve to be gratefully acknowledged.

As the outgoing Deputy Principal for Identity & Mission, Ms O’Neill

deserves a very special mention with our gratitude for her phenomenal contribution to the Retreats and Liturgies during her tenure for the last three years. I welcome Mr Neil Alweyn, our Vice Principal, who is taking up the role of Identity and Mission for the upcoming years.

Finally, it is not an exaggeration to say that Mr Domenic Burgio, our Principal, as a person soaked in the Gospel Values, in the tradition of the Catholic church and Blessed Edmund Rice, has been the most vital spiritual stronghold of CBC since he took up the role this year. May God shower His blessings on Mr Burgio to bloom in the coming years as the outstanding leader of the CBC community, and strengthen our bond as one family in our journey with our boys becoming tomorrow’s gentlemen.

people for others MR MATTHEW STOCKTON SERVICE LEARNING COORDINATOR

Service Learning has diversified and gained further momentum in with many new initiatives realised.

Most notably was the development of a stronger connection with St Patrick’s Community Support Centre.

Throughout the year boys have toured the facility, manufactured artisan chopping boards, served breakfast once a week to the clients, participated in the Starry Night Sleep Out and made many t-shirt tote bags. Not to mention assisting at the annual Fremantle Long Table Dinner that raises funds for the centre.

Our favoured service activities continued to grow, with Caritas, Good Start Breakfast, Streetwise Charity Car Cruise, the running of a City to Surf aid station and Polished Man well supported. This year a Year 10 Service Day was introduced as their Retreat experience, and was a fantastic opportunity to connect boys with the local community. Many witnessed firsthand just how meaningful simple

gestures that we take for granted can actually be to ‘the other’ in our lives.

The year culminated with the Christmas Appeal. This year CBC supported St Patrick’s Community Support Centre, supplying hampers that were distributed throughout the local area. A new initiative was an upper school Christmas Appeal for the St Vincent De Paul Society, which was very successful.

It never ceases to amaze me when I see the tremendous heart our boys have, with many finding their own service opportunities. This has built a great sense of connectedness amongst CBC and the Fremantle community. The willingness for boys to demonstrate Gospel Values and to make the Solidarity and Justice EREA Touchstone very much a living reality within their world was a fantastic display of the College’s motto Palma Virtuti, or goodness is its own reward.

INDIGENOUS EDUCATION MR JASON MATTHEWS INDIGENOUS RECONCILIATION COORDINATOR In 2018 we aimed to provide all students with the opportunity to build on their existing knowledge, as well as develop a greater understanding and appreciation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and contributions.

Some of the opportunities to explore and learn about Australian Indigenous culture included National Sorry Day, the Kiwirrkurra Immersion, Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) and NAIDOC Week celebrations. We also facilitated small group discussions with students across all years, allowing students to develop their own values and beliefs based on positive experiences and factual learning.

This year, students involved in the AIME programme were invited to participate in and assist with the running of NAIDOC celebrations at

South Coogee Primary School. With guidance from Mr John Black and Ms Michelle Eades, students in Years 8 and 9 provided face painting, braiding and didgeridoo stations for the youngsters and proved to be a huge hit. Watching our boys grow in confidence with every interaction was a highlight for me and I would like to thank the staff from South Coogee Primary School for supporting this initiative and giving them this opportunity.

A huge thank you must go to Rory Kendell and Kate Wilkes who volunteer their time and run tutor squad with our AIME students once a week.

They provide our Aboriginal students with a fantastic opportunity and support them to reach their personal best. I would also like to thank Mr Black, Miss Bowran, Miss De Palma, and Ms Eades for all their support throughout the year.

academic excellence MS MARILYN SCHMIDT AEP COORDINATOR

A

cademic excellence is far more than good grades! At CBC Fremantle, it is defined as striving for personal excellence and developing one’s gifts and talents for the good of others in order to serve humanity.

The criteria to be invited to join the Academic Excellence Programme (AEP) are as follows: a student has to achieve above the 85th percentile in his cohort in at least three of the five core subjects of English, HASS, Maths, Science and RE. This means that their results are well above the average for their year and testify to their hard work and commitment to their education. These gifted and talented students are role models amongst their peers and will become leaders and problem solvers in our future society.

Every week the members of the AEP take part in activities after school to challenge their thinking, broaden their knowledge and extend their interests.

These groups and activities include Maths & Engineering,

Science & Technology, Literature & Media, Robotics, Debating & Public Speaking and Radio.

Highlights of the year included the AEP Showcase evening in June where boys presented some of the work and projects that the groups had been working on during the year. The senior boys also participated in the UWA Exploring Engineering Day and the Gifted and Talented Conference.

The programme would not be possible if it were not for the exceptional staff members involved in coordinating the various groups. I thank each one for their invaluable contributions.

I would like to remind all the AEP students to embrace their gifts and abilities, to continue to apply themselves to make the best use of these gifts and always to strive for excellence.

AEP literature & Media MISS LANA DE PALMA AND MS LARRISA DODSWORTH LITERATURE & MEDIA COORDINATORS An influx of Year 7s and 9 students entered the Academic Excellence Programme and headed our way, as the curiosity of filmmaking and photography was too hard to resist. A schedule of photographers meant that every College event was captured, with students practising their composition skills, action shots and the tricky art of taking candid photographs.

Carnivals, House Week, incursions and Edmund Rice Day are just a few of the busy days that were photographed for the College’s social media, news articles and printed publications.

Tuesday morning in Room 104 quickly became loud and exciting as we began to brainstorm the highly anticipated Year 12 Graduation production. Mr Keane Bourke, Miss Lana De Palma and Ms Larrisa Dodsworth facilitated the ideas to ensure they were able to translate to film, and the Boardroom interviews were conducted, secret afternoon filming sessions were held and the editing process commenced. A big thank you to all students involved in the production, including Tate Simons in Year 7, Thomas Wilson, Tony Kolic, Edward Astill, Yamato Yap and Aston Culnane from Year 9 and Michael Gaynor from Year 10.

With all the buzz and hype surrounding the Graduation movie it was hard to quickly turn our attention to the prestigious Awards Night video, a compilation of various photographs taken throughout the year highlighting the fantastic events held at the College and the skills of the camera operators.

Not only were members of the group active with their media talents but our budding writers continued to relish the chance to make their way to the Fremantle Literature Centre once a term to work with published authors on their story craft. The students were given the unique opportunity to work with AJ Betts, Fiona Woods, Lucy Christopher and Michael Pryor in a creatively rich environment with talented students from other schools from around Western Australia.

Thanks to all the boys for their enthusiasm and commitment throughout 2018. It was a pleasure to watch all of the students take on challenges with professionalism and watch their talents evolve.

AEP debating MRS SHAYNI NELSON DEBATING COORDINATOR

The CBC Fremantle Debating Club encourages critical thinking, fosters engagement with global issues, and equips students with lifelong skills and the confidence to pursue their potential.

This year CBC Fremantle had four teams competing in the West Australian Debating League.

The WADL Schools competition is the largest and most prestigious secondary school debating challenge in Western Australia. Last year more than 2,000 students competed and the season culminated in late August with the top two Novice, Junior and Senior teams from across the state competing for the title of State Champion for each division.

This year CBC had three novice teams and only one junior team and we debated five rounds. All four of our teams were extremely competitive all season with our pocket rocket Year 7 team bowing out by the slimmest of margins in the double octo-final.

There were some memorable speeches and great efforts this season but probably the highlight was the professional, compassionate and mature way the Junior debate team managed a Debate when the opposition had prepared the wrong side of the motion and were experiencing difficulties. The three boys grew in eyes of the audience that evening because of the way they handled the situation and we are very proud of their behaviour.

I would like to thank all the parents and staff who supported the debating boys this year. Special mention to the wonderful coaches – Mrs Nicole Christie, Mrs Kerry Faichney, Ms Jenny Knox and Miss Danielle McDonald – who put in so much effort researching, meeting with the teams and editing speeches.

THOMAS STEVEN'S REFLECTIONS This year was my first attempt at Debating and I had a ball. I learnt heaps of skills, including how to write speeches, structure arguments and counter-argue with someone on the fly. It increased my confidence and self-esteem, and improved my wellbeing in most aspects.

CBC DEBATING TEAMS 2018

During the season we explored controversial issues in Australia and the topics provided us with new insights into interesting subjects.

For example, one of the first debates we did was whether or not religious schools should receive public funding.

With CBC being the religious school, of course we had to be on the negative side, but it taught me how to see things from others’ perspectives, and to appreciate the other aspect of an argument.

Novice CBC 2 Jake Walsh Nicholas De Bari Xavier Brun Kyan Matthews

Some other topics included: • We should opt out of My Health Record.

• That we regret the rise of start-up culture.

• That refugees should have full access to the Australian Welfare System.

• That we should ban the testing of cosmetics on animals.

I had great fun this season and I would encourage interested students to join next year.

MR JOHN HORTENSE ROBOTICS COORDINATOR

MS MARILYN SCHMIDT MATHS & ENGINEERING COORDINATOR

This year the Robotics Club welcomed a number of Year 7 and 8 students who were keen to program their machines to follow lines and pick up cans, amongst other things.

STEM education is an approach to learning where rigorous academic concepts are coupled with real-world problems as students apply science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in contexts that make connections between school, community and work. The Maths & Engineering group have focussed on this approach this year with spectacular success.

I applaud the perseverance of Jayden Galati (Year 10), Archie Tither and Matthew Vasta (both Year 9) and eye-catching contributions from Oliver Bell (Year 8), Jason Mack and Fynnian Copp (both Year 10). Veterans Charlie Bell and Rohan Groves (both Year 10) regularly provided help to the novices while Michael Chalmers and Fletcher Evans (both Year 12) stepped into leadership roles by making sure students were in their groups, had a working robot and packed up diligently at the end of each session. What a great bunch of lads!

The first term activities consisted of developing Maths problem-solving skills both individually and collaboratively. During the second term, the boys designed and built remote controlled cars using Meccano. This project proved to be challenging as the boys grappled with the laws of physics, creative design and mechanical engineering.

It has been a privilege to watch them teeming like ants around robot parts every Tuesday afternoon. I must thank Ms Marilyn Schmidt, whose infectious enthusiasm has ensured that the Robotics Club is always well equipped.

The ECU Gecko Coding program kept the boys engaged and challenged during the third term. After a few weeks of learning the skills involved in connecting circuits, breadboards and Arduinos, and basic coding, the boys worked in groups designing their own games. We all, including the teachers, gained an appreciation for the time and complexity of coding! Well done to James Nelson (Year 9), Liam Davis, Ben Leavy (both Year 10) and James Morris (Year 11) on their excellent projects!

The year ended with investigating Maths geometrical constructions.

Perpendicular bisectors, inscribed and circumscribed circles, arcs, segments and sectors all became part of the boys’ vocabulary and skills base.

MR IAN BINET SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY COORDINATOR

MS TREVANNA COOPER RADIO COORDINATOR

The AEP Science and Technology group was exposed to various physical science concepts throughout the year with the students performing a number of experiments and participating in competitions.

CBC Radio 89.2FM lost some crew during the year as the Year 11 students took on a growing study load, but gained 30 new Year 7 boys who have been happily trained by our newly promoted Year 8 producers. The outcome has been that two to three shows a week were broadcast from our little studio at the rear of the Library.

One of the biggest events was the Solar Car Challenge.

Students spent a number of weeks designing and building their vehicles, competing against each other to produce a car that could race along a fixed length powered only by the sun. Two of our Year 8 students, Lachlan Klingberg and James Nelson, also competed in a state-wide competition, coming second in the semi-final, which secured them a spot in the grand final at King’s Park. Lachlan and James performed exceptionally well in the semi-final, building a solid car under adverse cloudy conditions. Unfortunately they didn’t win the grand final, but they put in a great effort and produced an excellently performing solar car.

In all of the experiments and challenges, the students did a wonderful job of combining their skills from other disciplines to come up with novel designs and solutions to problems. The boys were committed and creative, and should be congratulated. Thanks to all of the students for their hard work and perseverance!

In Term 4 the students began learning techniques for radio interviews, using the portable microphone to record remote from the radio room and also to execute live broadcasts in the field by connecting their microphone to a mobile phone which then connects the interview through to the mixing desk.

The Years 7 and 8 boys were all extremely keen but special mention must be made of Bruce Lothian (Year 8) and Xander Jones (Year 10) who gave up many of their lunchtimes to be technicians for the younger students who are still learning. Xander leaves us at the end of the year to take up an apprenticeship and the Radio boys will really miss his generous, competent and kind help.

drama MR SHANE MANCUSO HEAD OF THE ARTS It has been another busy year for Drama at CBC. Mrs Rosalba Jeffreys went on long service leave for six months and the College was very grateful to have Mrs Catherine FryWalker run the programme during this time. We also welcomed Mrs Shayni Nelson, who worked with our Year 8 students who are required to study a semester of performance arts as from 2018.

Our Year 7 students studied Drama for one term and worked on the elements of forms and styles and the genres of comedy and tragedy.

Students were also provided with the opportunity to work with Spare Parts Puppet Theatre, devising their own puppets.

In Year 8, students enjoyed working in the areas of Greek mythology, creating masks and dressing up. Students also participated in Theatresports games, highlighting improvisation skills, quick thinking and comedic themes.

Our Year 9 and 10 students spent the year focussing on melodrama, neoclassical drama, Aboriginal dance and commedia dell'arte. Australian texts and the works of Shakespeare played an integral part of their studies, giving students a valuable insight into famous scripts and classic works.

The highlight of the year was our annual Drama evening titled ‘All the World’s a Stage and Screen’. Students from Year 8 to 10 entertained

audiences with their witty and thought-provoking performances with Master of Ceremony support by two of our Year 7 Drama enthusiasts.

Congratulations to Mrs Fry-Walker who produced and directed this wonderful evening of theatre.

I would like to thank the following artists and companies who inspired the performing arts in our students: Spare Parts Puppet Theatre, Bell Shakespeare, Combat Studies, the Australian Institute of Theatresports and Rueben Yorkshire.

visual arts MRS STEPHANIE HANTZIS ART TEACHER

In 2018 the Visual Arts programme continued to grow and assist in developing the creative minds of our students. It has been a year filled with excitement, accomplishments and challenges that have been met with fabulous results.

Art students from Years 7 to 12 have continued to work diligently and creatively to develop a diverse range of visual inspirations from the studio areas of drawing and painting – including oil, acrylic, silk and watercolour, ceramics and printmaking – including intaglio, woodblock, lino-print, and riso, as well as mixed media and sculpture.

transformed into 3D clay sculptures. In Semester 2, the students worked with the theme of fish based on the work of MC Escher.

This year I was once again teaching full-time in the Art department from mid-Term 1 while Ms Zoe Francis went on maternity leave. We look forward to welcoming her back at the commencement of 2019.

Year 10 boys worked on intaglio prints based on Fremantle artist Magali Duncher, followed by a series of drawing activities focussing on the theme of gargoyles, which then led to these boys transforming them into amazing clay works.

This year’s senior Visual Art students were once again the highlight of the annual exhibition with Year 11 students producing a variety of works based on the themes of ‘Kasbah’ and ‘Mechanics’, while the Year 12 students focus was on ‘Manic Botanic’ and ‘Spirituality’. The boys were inspired to create innovative and original artworks in a variety of mediums, making it a difficult job for Mr Burgio to decide on the Principal’s Choice award. Two honourable mentions were presented – Jasper Miller (Year 11) with his Mechanics through Time artwork, and Flinn Brown (Year 12) for his piece, A Moment in Time. The Principal’s Choice award went to Harry O’Neill (Year 12) for his magnificent work Say it Now that explores the preconceived misconception surrounding the taboo interactions between society and individuals. A large number of boys from Years 7 to 12 received Excellence in Art Awards on the night for their commitment and dedication to the programme in 2018.

The Angelico Art Exhibition was characterised by the exceptional accomplishments of our students. The boys who exhibited were Harry O’Neill, Harry Rosenthal (both Year 12), Jackson Young (Year 10), Aston Culnane and Malachi McCrackan (both Year 9). Banksy inspired linoprinting was the theme of the Year 7 group submission, and the students involved were Flynn Brooks, Beau D’Alfonso, Kade Del Rosso, Harrison Green, Jarrod Hazell, Samuel Hicks, Ethan Mura, Jack Prelevich, Henry Turner and Jacob Wearing.

On the evening of Wednesday 24 October, the CBC community attended the official opening of the 2018 Visual Art Exhibition in the Arts Learning Area (ALA).

The Year 7 students made a bright and colourful impact as visitors entered the ALA with the tribute to graffiti and street artist Banksy. They produced their own take on graffiti using Posca pens on wooden canvases and lino-prints. The Year 8 students worked in a variety of mediums, with the students in Semester 1 designing their own mobile homes and caravans, which were then

Year 9 students worked in a variety of printmaking mediums, mastering woodblock prints focussing on the works of local artist Anya Brock and riso prints on t-shirts based on board games. The artworks produced by these boys were outstanding, highlighting some great skill and talent.

Congratulations to all the students who participated enthusiastically in the Visual Arts; your work and attitude was exemplary, allowing us to provide a rich and engaging programme for each and every one of you.

MUSIC MR SHANE MANCUSO HEAD OF THE ARTS

Music at CBC promotes student participation, commitment and inspiration and these three areas require a student to be focussed, resilient and most importantly organised. Congratulations to our musicians who have strived for personal excellence in our ensembles and bands, and contributed immensely to the College culture this year.

Our instrumental programme is the foundation on which we can build a strong and self-sustaining system of bands, ensembles and choirs.

There is hope that our music students are intrinsically motivated, always striving for personal satisfaction and accomplishment.

Their contribution to College life is warmly welcomed and, looking back over the past 12 months, it is obvious our students have achieved in all areas of their music making.

Our 2018 Singapore Music Tour was a special highlight on the calendar and our students were able to represent CBC and Perth on the world stage. Other highlights of the year included the annual Music Camp, Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools, CBC Music Festival, Ellington Jazz Club, Jazz on the Swan, the College Music Performance Evening and a performance at the Perth Royal Show.

play an important role in managing their son’s practice routine, transportation to rehearsals and participation in all of our concerts and activities. Our Music Parent Group plays an integral part of this by forming a strong link between the family and College life. Thank you to all of the parents involved in this committee as their support, guidance and wealth of ideas enables the Music programme to successfully fundraise for tours and musical instrument purchases.

Thank you to our peripatetic Music teachers, Mr Kim Anning, Mr Alex Borthwick, Mrs Gemma Farrell, Mr Carl Harper, Mr Harrison Mitchell, Mr Luciano Trebse, Mr Tim Woolley and Mr Manoli Vouyoucalos. Their talents and passion for educating our Music students is appreciated.

Lastly, I would like to make a special thank you to Mrs Emma Tandy, who gives the Music programme so much support and is an inspiration to not only our students but to the College as a whole. Emma’s passion for guiding student growth and focussing on the whole person is truly admired and I know everyone at the College recognises how special Mrs Tandy is to our community.

It has been an exciting year and I look forward to seeing where our music development will take us in the future.

the art of communication MRS KERRY FAICHNEY HEAD OF ENGLISH

T

he English course at CBC is not just about writing essays and getting assessments completed. It is about expressing yourself, speaking to people, relaying thoughts, ideas, feelings, making yourself heard.

Storytelling and a love of language are the bedrock of communication and developing these skills empowers boys to be better equipped to strongly represent their ideas and beliefs.

We continue to provide opportunities for boys to engage in the curriculum.

The Rite Journey in Year 9 enables us to explore themes of identity, belonging and relationships. We designed the Year 9 programme to reflect on historical literature and futuristic ideologies using romantic poetry and dystopian fiction. Not all themes were warmly received by the boys, but some great productions were achieved throughout the year. The Identity Project was an initiative where the boys spent a day at different venues, producing either a book, a Ted Talk or a short film based on the theme Identity.

The boys embraced the concept and worked collaboratively to produce their work. It was also an opportunity to take English skills out of the classroom, and many creative and exciting projects were developed during the day.

Year 10 students spent some time with guest speaker Ms Lisa Mack developing effective paragraphs. Mrs Shayni Nelson engaged the boys in more contemporary forms of communication – tweeting! To effectively tweet, one has to be economical and specific with language use. The Year 10 programme included the introduction of the open letter as an interpretive text. It was amazing to read some of the letters

092

CBC jOURNEY 2018

from the boys and consider their concerns or issues that affect them including bullying, sexuality, violence and the environment; the boys are absolutely engaged in the world and concerned about the future.

Year 11 Literature students attended a Black Swan Theatre production of the Australian classic, Summer of the Seventeenth Doll. The production was amazing and really captured the working spirit of outback Australia.

The boys will study the play as part of the Literature course and viewing the live performance will help visualise the story.

English and Languages Week in Term 3 was a successful week celebrating reading. Staff participated in a dress-up day, with each department focussing on a theme. It was colourful, extravagant and fun. Captain Underpants was a particular favourite, along with the characters from The Outsiders, Cat in a Hat, The Blues Brothers, Les Miserables and Alice in Wonderland. Wally was found mingling around with the characters, adding to the carnival atmosphere.

At the end of 2017, we farewelled two staff members, Ms Candice Brown and

Mr Michael Woodcock. Subsequently we welcomed Mr Nick Smith into the department, who has blessed us with absolute quality skills and knowledge.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the English teachers for their dedication to the boys’ education.

Teachers make themselves available for morning and afternoon tutoring sessions and the boys who access these extra services see the results in their work. Thank you to Miss Emily Bowran, Mrs Nicole Christie, Miss Lana De Palma, Ms Larrisa Dodsworth, Ms Catherine Fry-Walker, Mrs Rosalba Jefferies, Mrs Keely Laing, Mrs Vera Moura, Ms Shayni Nelson, Miss Shelley Nodwell, Ms Marriann O’Neill, Mr Patrick Ryan, Mr James Schubert and Mr Nicholas Smith. Thank you also to the Academic Care team who support our boys in their English studies.

t was another big year for the HASS department with a range of incursions, excursions and different opportunities for students to participate in the world around us and complement their classroom learning.

HASS week was a major event with a number of staff dressing up as historical figures and students winning prizes for guessing who they were.

Our Year 7 students began the year studying water and liveability and sustainability with an interesting excursion to a local waste and recycling plant. They also studied Ancient India and were able to participate in an Indian themed incursion where they had a lot of fun dancing Bollywoodstyle and enjoyed a taste of India in the form of a traditional curry.

Year 8 students studied landforms and were provided with an opportunity to survey the topography of the Swan River on a full day excursion. As part of their programme in Term 2, they

094

also participated in the World Fair, where groups chose a country from around the world to research. The boys then produced a display about that nation, including food to offer the visitors to the Fair. Another highlight of the year was the excursion and tour of the new Optus Stadium.

Year 9 students were able to take part in a tour of Fremantle prison as part of their programme. They also visited a range of historic sites throughout Fremantle.

The Year 10 students studied a range of key topics including World War II, GDP and other economic principles, as well as environmental change and issues.

A selection of students took part in a debate with Iona Presentation College, focussing on whether or not men have made a better contribution throughout history than women.

Year 11 and 12 students were given the opportunity to select a range of HASS courses including Politics

& Law, Geography, Modern History, Economics, Business Management & Enterprise and Accounting & Finance.

During the year, BME students participated in the ASX Share Challenge and the Plan Your Own Enterprise competition. Economics students visited Austal to learn about how globalisation and trade blocs have impacted upon their operations, and Geography students visited John Hughes car sales and Alcoa.

The Year 11 Politics & Law students had an excursion to Parliament House and the Law Courts. A number of students also visited the United Nations Youth Assembly.

The Humanities staff are looking forward to a great 2019 and the new challenges and experiences the year will bring.

il belpaese MRS SILVIA ROMAGNOLI ITALIAN TEACHER

I

n 2018 year Languages Week as the major highlight on our calendar. The College Cloisters was transformed into an Italian piazza where the CBC boys had the opportunity to experience il Belpaese, in a variety of ways: playing bocce like Italians, being energised by the exquisite Lamborghini and Maserati’ designs, and being inspired by the mouthwatering Italian food!

Over the course of the year, students have been exposed to many diverse activities in the Italian classroom. Furthermore, the classes had a native Italian language university student who helped the students increase their language skills and satisfied their curiosity about contemporary Italian culture and trends.

The Italian teaching and learning was enhanced by the presence of three exchange students, Andrea, Gerardo and Mariano, who delighted students and teachers with their witty presence and challenged the boys’ confidence in speaking Italian. Although their stay was short term, they left a lasting memory, especially among their Year 11 peers.

With 104 students over four classes, the Year 7 students displayed a keen passion to learn the language. The boys blitzed the easy tasks, such as learning the alphabet and basic conversation skills, and worked extra hard on understanding some more difficult components of the language, such as describing themselves and their family and talking about their favourite things. They were definitely challenged in presenting themselves for their speaking task!

It was a wonderful to have 116 students continue with their Italian studies into Year 8. The boys enjoyed increasing their linguistic skills and became knowledgeable appreciators of Italian cities and monuments. Roleplaying La Guida Turistica became the highlight of the end of Terms 2 and 3.

The Year 9 students enjoyed going into more depth with content and grammar. The concepts became more complex and the tasks more difficult, but the boys took on the opportunity to challenge themselves, smiling the whole time.

The Year 10 boys enjoyed an all-round learning experience, embracing different topics and grammar challenges. In Term 3, they had the opportunity to share their speaking skills and

096

CBC jOURNEY 2018

language passion and knowledge with Santa Maria College girls for an afternoon of language activities and food.

The Year 11 boys focussed on their ATAR course and enjoyed the learning throughout the year. In Term 3, they met with Santa Maria College Italian students and challenged their speaking skills to communicate with other students outside of class time, increasing their passion and knowledge for the language they are learning while having some fun and meeting new people.

The Year 12 Italian students were now experienced practitioners of the language. They had the opportunity to go on a three-day language immersion with the Italian camp, where they practised the language with many activities and games and consolidated their friendships.

They are to be congratulated on their dedication and commitment to their studies, and we wish them well for their future.

the idea shop MS TREVANNA COOPER LIBRARIAN

I

t has been a hectic year for the Idea Shop, starting on a high with the launch of the Story Wall, an eight screen depiction of episodes from the early years of the College.

Library Assistant, Miss Michelle Eades, and 13 students brought to life historical events and personalities including the first teacher, the decision to ask the Brothers to come to Fremantle, the conditions under which they started the College, a swimming carnival at South Beach, and the fortunes of Year 12 student Henry Quick, who fought at Gallipoli.

The students involved in the Story Wall – Oliver Bell, Alexander Buckland, Nicholas De Bari, Indy Greget O’Dea, Peter Hudson, Xander Jones, Anton La Macchia, Jason Mack, Timothy McClelland, Kye Mitchell-Bathgate, Morgan Montes, Daniel Page and Hayden Symington – were directed and filmed by Mrs CJ Griffin, who also tackled the complicated editing, including placing moving characters into a still photograph among other special effects.

CBC was the first school in Australia to produce the Harry Potter-like wall where the performers interact with each other across the various monitors. We held a small gathering to celebrate the amazing achievement and the installation has been suitably admired by all who view it.

We were also the first to get the new Library software, Learnpath, up and running, making it easier for students to match resources with the topics they study. We check the teachers’ programmes and match resources that are the clearest explanations of their topic and the boys can then access these from their laptops either at school or at home.

The program showcases all types of multimedia, online material, books and journals. The attraction of Learnpath

098

CBC jOURNEY 2018

is that it can be colourful and inviting and there has been favourable feedback from many teachers who say that students are eager to use it.

In April, Mrs Griffin left us and Mr Aaron Brunskill joined the team as the new Multimedia Technician. He brings with him considerable publishing and IT skills as well as the desire to get thoroughly involved in all the Idea Shop’s innovative projects.

Miss Eades has proved a tower of strength with sublimation this year and helped many students create personalised mugs and keyrings for Father’s Day. She also helped boys to master the art of using the green screen.

As usual, the Idea Shop ran the Codebreaker School History Challenge in Term 1, NAIDOC Week activities in Term 2, and Hot Chocolate Tuesday and Hands on Robots in Term 3.

CBC Radio 89.2FM lost some crew during the year as Year 11 students took on a growing study load, but gained 30 new Year 7s who have been happily trained by our newly promoted Year 8 producers. The outcome has been that two to three shows a week are being broadcast.

Reading proficiency tests were provided to all of our Year 9 students, and now the boys know whether they need to do more reading to perform at their age level or above.

Throughout the year, we were extremely fortunate to have a hardworking and reliable Year 12 Student, Liam Fico, who helped us out at every recess and lunchtime with whatever project was at hand and we sincerely thank him.

the number games MR ANDRE LEICESTER HEAD OF MATHEMATICS

I

t has been a fantastic year in Mathematics at CBC Fremantle given the great results obtained by our students in their individual classes, as well as the very good results in Olympiads and competitions. It is invigorating to work in the Mathematics department thanks to our staff’s positive attitude and the supportive work environment that we all create, which is ultimately reflected in the attitude and effort that all of our students demonstrate towards the subject.

SENIOR AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM The number of students choosing harder mathematics subjects has apparently been in decline throughout Australia for the past decade, but this has not been the case at CBC Fremantle, where the numbers of students choosing the harder maths subjects, Mathematical Methods and Mathematics Specialist, remains high in comparison to previous years.

This trend seems set to continue, with the number of students choosing Maths Methods for 2019 increasing by 12% compared to 2018, while the number of students choosing to do the Maths Specialist course has doubled.

These figures show that our boys are encouraged to attempt harder mathematical subjects and that they are prepared to give it a go. There is a strong mathematical culture at CBC Fremantle and we are determined to nurture this culture for years to come.

MATHS HELP Maths Help provides students, irrespective of year group or pathway, the opportunity to have individual help or tutoring for two hours after school every week. Students continue to make excellent use of this service and the increased demand has required that more Mathematics teachers are available during these times.

At times this year ‘Maths Help’ was held in three classrooms to accommodate the large number of students attending.

On Wednesdays the teachers available were Mrs Amelia Andrew, Mr Evgeny Bespalov, Mr Andre Leicester and Miss Lisa Tognolini, while on Thursdays the teachers available were Mr Craig Jones, Mr Nigel Kennedy, Mr Jeremy Peris and Ms Marilyn Schmidt. Since all of our Maths teachers are present at either session, every student has had their respective classroom teacher present at different times, which makes it even easier to cater for individual needs.

HAVE SUM FUN COMPETITION CBC Fremantle participates every year in the Have Sum Fun Maths competition organised by the Mathematical Association of WA (MAWA). The senior teams were formed

by Joshua Jackson, Jack Prigg, Hayden Symington (all Year 11), Stefan Bormolini, Joshua Hardbottle, Mark Ogden, Justin Oliveri and Saad Fallah (all Year 12).

The junior teams were formed by Samuel Pittard, Jack Sullivan, Riley Woods (all Year 7), Lucas Contera (Year 8), Jake Walsh, Oliver Woods (all Year 8), Edward Astill, Liam Pintaudi (both year 9), Jayden Craven, Joseph Davies and Archer Larwood (all Year 10). All the teams placed in the top set of scores, achieving excellent results for the College.

AUSTRALIAN MATHS COMPETITION Every year CBC enters the international competition known as the AMC with all Maths extension classes participating in a multiple choice test that has lateralthinking questions designed to gauge the student’s mathematical reasoning. This year 49 per cent of our students placed above the average score, with 10 students achieving the top Distinction and High Distinction categories.

As recognised by the Australian Mathematics Trust, out top performers were Aiden Herold, Samuel Pittard, Thomas Stininovic (all Year 7), Tristan Jensen, Oliver Simich, Luke Wyatt (all Year 8), Samuel Moreno, Aaron Ricciardi, Matthew Vasta (all Year 9), Joseph Davies, Indy Imbuldeniya, Archer Larwood (all Year 10), Joshua Jackson, Matthew Mocerino, Neven Williams (all Year 11), Stefan Bormolini, Preston Hinton, Mark Ogden and Lachlan Yurak (all Year 12).

the great outdoors MR ZACHARY PRESTON HEAD OF PHYSICAL AND OUTDOOR EDUCATION

T

his year in Outdoor Education the number of students grew to an alltime high with boys keen to experience outdoor activities and also gain a better understanding of their local and regional environments.

Year 8 students worked on their leadership skills with group challenges that required teamwork and cooperation. They also learnt camp cooking and swimming survival skills.

The Year 9 students continued with the water theme with more advanced swimming survival skills, followed by learning how to body-board, which provided the perfect opportunity to find out about beach safety rescue techniques. Year 10 students had the opportunity to achieve a bronze medallion and enjoyed learning about fishing from professional fisherman Peter Goulding.

In upper school Outdoor Education built on the students' basic knowledge gained in lower school to further their understanding of the environment.

There was a heavy importance placed on minimal impact and sustainability throughout the course. Year 11 students went on their first expedition at Rottnest Island to practise and consolidate their snorkelling skills in the ideal surrounds of the Leeuwin stream where fish and sea creatures are abundant. The camp was followed by students gaining their recreation skipper’s ticket at the East Fremantle boatshed and also gain the necessary skills to assist them on their second expedition canoeing down the Blackwood River.

The Year 12 programme enabled students to complete their Certificate II

in Outdoor Recreation. Throughout the year the boys developed various skills in abseiling, rock climbing and sailing in preparation for the expeditions during the year. They experienced some fantastic lessons on the climbing wall in the gym during class times, learning about rigs, safety, equipment set up and abseiling. The sessions were really important for the students to realise the importance of teamwork and trust.

The first Year 12 Outdoor Ed expedition was in the Margaret River region where the students went bushwalking, caving and finished off with a 50 metre abseil off the Willyabrup cliffs. The boys really extended themselves, overcoming their fear of heights and embracing the experience they were given.

The year ended with a sailing camp on the Swan River using the sailing skills they had been learning at the boatshed. The students were really tested during the camp as we experienced atrocious conditions of wind squalls, lightning, torrential rain and hail. They all performed outstandingly, using the skills of years of experience in Outdoor Education to make the most of the situation and really thrived on the challenges they faced.

It was great to see so many students enjoying Outdoor Education in 2018 and I look forward to a bigger and better 2019.

I would like to thank Outdoor Education teachers Mr Stephen Hunter, Mr Justin Leech, Mr Jason Matthews, and Mr Ben Shaw for their time and effort throughout the year.

a wealth of health MR ZACHARY PRESTON HEAD OF PHYSICAL AND OUTDOOR EDUCATION

P

hysical Education at CBC Fremantle strives to create an environment that encourages students to understand and implement the importance of physical activity in their lifestyle. It provides all students with opportunities to shine in a wide range of physical activities as well as learn the crucial characteristics of interpersonal skills, resilience, leadership and most of all self-management skills.

The Years 7 to 10 Physical Education programme continued to enhance students’ skills by the use of game play that engages students in learning through experience. The boys were getting out and trying new activities with the advice and guidance of their teachers and using their own skills and strategies to improve not only their own understanding but that of the class mates around them. A new aspect of the course in 2018 was a movement towards playing a variety of minor games across several sports to cater for a wider range of student ability. This was also highlighted in Year 8 PE where students participated in a collection of striking sports. The use of shorter programmes using similar skills helped students improve their ability across the board while keeping them engaged.

HEALTH EDUCATION Health Education in 2018 continued to engage students in the critical elements of growing up to be a gentleman.

Mr Justin Leech continued to focus on a strength-based approach to Health Education, providing students with the tools to deal with situations that they will encounter in the world. Students had the opportunity to participate in the Keys 4 Life driving instruction that enabled them to receive their learner plates. This programme looks at how to become a responsible driver with students listening to the RAC Driving Training team and guest speakers from the Paraplegic Benefit Fund. These presenters helped students to see what the dangers are if you are not a responsible driver.

Year 7 students spent some quality time with their dads with the Loving for Life Relationship workshop. This programme looked at growing up and discussing these topics with their fathers. The Year 7 and 10 students also experienced workshops from the mental health support organisation, Headspace. The presentations provided a deeper understanding of mental illness – how to cope

with the challenges and where to go if they or their mates required assistance.

SPORT SCIENCE It has been an exciting year with students experiencing a wide range of sports and learning not only the skills required but the biomechanics, exercise physiology and coaching aspects. Students across the year groups coached each other in order to understand the philosophy behind good coaching methods and quality leadership skills. Year 10 students further explored strategies and game play of sports such as squash, and also made their own games up and tested them on one another.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDIES Physical Education Studies has been going from strength to strength. Students are now bringing their knowledge from lower school Sport Science, and showing an outstanding ability to adapt to the difficult upper school concepts. The boys had the opportunity to show their coaching ability by taking part in the lower school carnivals and coaching a team, and using this experience to gain their Certificate II

learning areas

the wonderful world of science MR IAN BINET AND MRS JENNIFER LAWLOR CO-HEADS OF SCIENCE

E

ach year the Science staff deliberate and strategise on ways to stir the curiosity and enhance the scientific learning experiences for our boys.

When planning curriculum activities, the ever-changing technology and scientific advancements our boys will experience is at the forefront of our minds and we consider how we can equip them to think critically, ethically and morally. We hear a lot about ‘media influencers’; let our eager young men be the ‘science influencers’ of the future.

It is therefore paramount that we provide the boys with a range of learning experiences, and so we took on several new incursions and excursions this year. The first of which was the Huntington’s disease forum at the Harry Perkins Institute. It was a fantastic and challenging workshop delivered to students from across the state on the genetic disorder causing Huntington’s disease. A personal story and a panel discussion with people in different stages of Huntington’s had a significant emotional impact on the boys, who asked probing and well thought out questions. It really opened the students’ eyes to the potential ethical dilemmas of genetic research and science. There was also the chance to rotate through different activities with a tour of the facility and a practical exercise where the students performed the first steps of diagnosis using the latest biotechnology techniques.

Ben Leavy and Jerome Sugunasingam (both Year 10) participated in the ConocoPhillips Science experience over the summer break, in what they described as a fun and rewarding immersion. In the boys’ words: “We saw a lot of amazing people and workshops at the UWA campus.

CBC jOURNEY 2018

Our favourite part was definitely the science experiments at the end of the three days.”

Science Week is the peak of STEM engagement activities across all year groups at the College. This year's Science Week theme was Game Changers and Change Makers, and provided a platform to inspire boys to learn more about the visionaries and influencers who have advanced scientific discovery over the years, and to aspire to be leaders in their future scientific fields. Dozens of activities were arranged for the boys ranging from SCINEMA, a movie night of scientific films and documentaries, to making ice-cream with liquid nitrogen. One highlight included the Live and Explosive Show from Murdoch University, and Year 10 students also had a visit from Scitech with their Beyond the Beaker presentation, showing that science, technology, engineering and maths are more essential and relevant to our work and day-to-day activities than ever before. Students also looked at advancements in artificial intelligence and extended this to a discussion on how this can alter our own personal freedom in making decisions. We thank all the Science staff for their brilliant lunchtime experiments, activities, quizzes and competitions. It is always a huge week for the department but one that we greatly look forward to.

Year 11 Chemistry students collaborated with another school to attend the Divide and Analyse experimental day at Murdoch University. The students were shown GCMS (Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry), HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and AAS (Atomic Absorption

Spectrometer), which are all new additions to the curriculum. They participated in an analysis of mass spectrum to determine isotopic abundance, flame tests, prepared samples and injected them into HPLC for analysis of caffeine content, put standard solutions through AAS and analysed absorption spectra for heavy metal concentration. The boys also had the opportunity to listen to academics and tour the university.

CBC boys also participated in the usual Science excursions to the Zoo, Cockburn wetlands, Canning River Eco Education Centre, Curtin University Chem Centre, Scitech, CSBP Kwinana and Kleenheat Gas. Science students also had ample opportunities to challenge themselves in external competitions such as the Solar Car Challenge, The Big Science Competition, International Chemistry Competition and the International Science Assessment. Boys with noteworthy performances in these challenges are: • ICAS Jamie Bailey (Year 9) received a Distinction.

• Big Science Competition Flynn Brooks (Year 7) received a Distinction and Luke Wyatt, Oliver Wood (both Year 8) also received Distinctions and Jasper Jeffery (Year 8) received a High Distinction.

• International Chemistry Quiz Fraser Knight (Year 11) was presented with a Distinction and Joshua Jackson (year 11) with a High Distinction. From Year 12 Zachary Harris, Mark Ogden and Hayden Redmond all received Distinctions and Stefan Bormolini achieved a High Distinction.

All of this, and so much more, is not possible without the dedication and enthusiasm of a wonderful staff.

We thank teaching staff Mrs Amelia Andrews, Mr Evgeny Bespalov, Miss Ali Connell, Mrs Alana Edwards, Dr Aidan Holohan, Mr Frank McTernan, Mr Lou Miller, Mr Jeremy Peris, Mr Tony Rawnsley, Mrs Petrina Richmond, and as well as lab technicians Mr John Hortense and Mrs Nirmala Narayanann.

We also want to congratulate our wonderful boys whose involvement, efforts and spirit make the Science classroom a wonderful place to teach.

sport report MR ZACHARY PRESTON HEAD OF PHYSICAL AND OUTDOOR EDUCATION

A

t CBC we appreciate that some students thrive more than others when competing in Sport. CBC Sport involves more than just learning physical skills, and from their first year at the College students are exposed to behaviours that contribute to the formation of the CBC gentleman. The focus is on a supportive environment that encourages participation and cultivates friendships while discouraging bullying and anti-social behaviour. Teamwork and equality are a solid foundation for the younger students to build mutually beneficial relationships that foster service and leadership qualities as they continue their journey at the College.

Golf was offered to students for the first time in 2018, allowing us to expose the boys to more choices in sport than ever before. CBC participated in a variety of activities offered by the Associated Catholic Colleges (ACC) and School Sports WA. In both of these competitions, CBC Fremantle nominated more teams than any other College in the boys’ divisions and provided our students of all ages and abilities with the chance to display their talents in their chosen areas.

CBC jOURNEY 2018

The ACC Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country carnivals are the College’s three biggest competitive events on our sporting calendar. The boys selected to represent the College completed many early morning and afternoon sessions training and pushing each other to get the best results.

Their diligence paid off and we had some outstanding results with many students performing their personal best as well as breaking CBC and ACC records. Our junior boys were extremely strong in all three carnivals, taking home individual wins as well as experiencing team success.

CBC team spirit, leadership and sportsmanship was prevalent at each and every carnival and our coaches and captains made sure that the excitement was maintained for maximum performance at training and the events.

On a beautiful sunny day in May, the Year 7 boys were introduced to the ACC Lightning Carnival experience. Their enthusiasm was fantastic to watch as they battled it out against other schools within the ACC. The carnival allowed

the boys to showcase their skills in the areas of AFL, Rugby, Soccer and Ulitmate Frisbee. These days are solely a participation-based activity and no scores are kept on the day, which encourages many students to just give it a go.

None of this would have been possible without the help and guidance from all the support staff, including teachers, parents, Old Boys and current students, and I thank them all for their contribution this year.

A special mention must go to the following students for their involvement throughout 2018. The following boys were formally recognised at the Awards Evening for their commitment to Sport this year: • • • • • •

AFL FOOTBALL MR ADRIAN CORREIA FOOTBALL COACH CBC has a rich and successful history in AFL and in 2018 looked to build on its reputation of developing young and talented footballers. This year we ventured on another tour to Melbourne, continued the Year 9 specialist programme, and nominated more football teams into WAFC and ACC competitions than any other school. These initiatives were all introduced with the aim of increasing opportunities for the young men at CBC to improve and prosper both on and off the football field.

The future looks very bright at CBC with so many talented Year 7 students coming through the ranks that we were able to enter two teams in the Dockers Shield this year. The A side took out the South Division and the B team finished fourth. After winning the carnival, the A side advanced into the Grand Final carnival against the respective winners of the North, West and East competitions. Led by Aidan Harvey (Year 7) the boys went through

CBC jOURNEY 2018

undefeated, winning the College’s second shield in two years. Oliver Lindley was selected as Best on Field but it was the way the boys played strongly as a team that was a highlight on the day.

Once again, we entered two teams in the Years 8 and 9 Schoolboys’ competition. The B side had an outstanding season, going through undefeated and winning the South Fremantle district championship. Led by super-coach, Mr John Black, Captain Kelly Rawlings and the side’s spiritual leader BJ Cunningham, they advanced into the knockout stages playing off against the champions of all other WAFL districts. Being the only school to put in a second side the boys were often playing against larger boys, but what the team lacked in size they made up for in heart. Playing with passion and determination, the group pulled off some incredible victories against Emmanuel and Mandurah to advance into the Preliminary Final.

Unfortunately, the dream run came to an end with a narrow loss to a very strong Corpus Christi who were just too good on the day. Despite this, the group should feel very proud of their efforts, rotating 65 boys in the team throughout the competition and exceeding all expectation with some amazing results. Their performance already has the school applying to introduce a C team next year.

The Years 8 and 9 A side fielded together a very talented group of students into a revamped competition.

For the first time, WA Football Commission arranged for the top 10 AFL schools across the state to compete for the opportunity to play off in a Grand Final at Optus Stadium. With high expectations for the group, the team planned to go all the way. Unfortunately, injury and illness meant we were never able to field our strongest team on the park.

Nevertheless, the group still received a lot out of the specialist programme

and it was good to see so many boys develop throughout the year.

The Year 10 football team came together with high hopes of another successful year. The round robin carnival format of the competition provided the students with a chance to play three games in one day. It was a cold, wet and blustery event and the boys put their heart and soul into every match. After beating Ursula Frayne in the first round by several goals the boys were confident they could continue the good form. During the second round the students performed brilliantly against Seton College in an even affair, coming out victors.

The two wins put an undefeated CBC against undefeated Mazenod College.

Unfortunately, after a tight first half, Mazenod kicked away to win by two goals. This defeat knocked the boys out of the competition. Captain Jonas Brown was outstanding all day, along with Indy Imbuldeniya and Lincoln Kerspien.

The First XIII fielded one of the most talented sides in the school’s history but struggled to get the best side on the park all at once with a large amount of injuries. Despite this, the true depth of CBC shone with some outstanding performances, fielding an incredible 44 boys throughout the competition. Led strongly by Captains Joshua Goodwin and Riley Rees-Turner (both Year 12), the boys looked set to claim back-to-back titles for the first time in the College history. Going through the season undefeated and with a commanding performance in the preliminary final, the team went into the College’s eighth Grand Final in nine years as heavy favourites.

Playing Emmanuel College, who they beat by 10 goals during the season, also filled the group with confidence but unfortunately, it was just not our day. In what was an uncharacteristic performance, the group lacked the intensity and pressure that had been a feature of their season. To Emmanuel’s credit, they were awesome on the

day, but the loss was very hard to swallow for a group that expected so much out of themselves. It was a sad end for the Year 12 team who had been outstanding contributors to the football programme at the College. However, the boys should be proud of what they achieved not only throughout the year but also during their entire time at CBC. With a mixture of triumph and heartbreak across all teams, CBC truly saw the highs and lows that football has to offer. The passion the boys show for the College is definitely displayed on the football field and I look forward to seeing our younger boys improve, grow and develop in 2019.

Athletics MR STEPHEN HUNTER HEAD OF SPORT 2018 HOUSE ATHLETICS On Monday 25 June the CBC community woke up to a cold and wintery morning, with many of the boys excited at the thought of being able to warm up at the Annual House Athletics Carnival. We were very lucky to have clear weather for a full day of running, jumping and throwing events, with all the results collated at the end of the day.

Many of the boys showed great competitive spirit against their friends with some encouraging athletic ability through all of the age groups.

The Houses finished in the following order: Samson Morgan O’Connor Patrick Rice Kelly

A DIVISION ACC ATHLETICS The 2018 ACC Athletics season commenced with plenty of young students determined to make the CBC team. There were many morning and afternoon training sessions held throughout Term 3, showing great commitment and CBC attitude.

The day's varied weather didn't dampen the athletes' spirits, with the College's Year 8 relay team stealing the show near the end of the carnival, breaking the event's record with a blazing time of 48.54 seconds.

Alejandro Larranaga-Boyle (Year 8) was awarded Champion Boy for Under 14 students, and his brother Conor (Year 11) finished fourth in his age group. Tristen Jensen came runnerup Champion Boy to Alejandro in the Under 14 division, showing some great talent in many events.

In total, CBC athletes racked up just under 50 podium places over the day – almost one for every second event.

There were some amazing results with our boys recording new CBC records.

Ky Hehir (Year 7) broke two middle distance records, taking 5 seconds off the 1500m and 1 second off the 800m. His times of 4:53:18 and 2:24:82 will be the new benchmark for years to follow.

Alejandro Larranaga-Boyle (Year 8) also broke a CBC record in the javelin event, posting a new score of 44.51m.

For the third year in a row, Conor Larranaga-Boyle set a new record in the 400m, posting a time of 51.06. This result is fantastic after such a long day

winning many of his previous events.

At the end of this year's ACC A Division Athletics Carnival, CBC finished in second place in the junior boys’ division, and fifth in the senior boys’ division, resulting in a third place for over all male athletes.

The carnival was also a way for the experienced boys in the team to pass on their wisdom and leadership skills, whether running warm-ups or supporting their mates.

A huge thanks goes out to all the competitors, parents, coaches and helpers who made this day possible.

A special thanks goes to the staff who spent many mornings and afternoons training the boys: Mr John Black, Ms Ali Connell, Mr Adrian Correia, Miss Lana De Palma, Mr Daniel Kennedy, Mr Justin Leech, Mr Jason Matthews, Mr Christopher Pietroniro, Mr Zachary Preston, Mrs Silvia Romagnoli and Mr Adrian Winnan.

BASKETBALL MR STEPHEN HUNTER HEAD OF SPORT

YEAR 7 JUNIOR BOYS The top 10 CBC basketballers from Year 7 entered Bendat Basketball Stadium with high hopes and the day did not disappoint. The spirit of the games was exactly what sport is all about and provided each team a chance to play their best in front of some energetic spectators from all schools.

There were eight teams entered in the competition with CBC finishing top of their pool to go into the semi-finals.

We faced a very well-drilled Peter Moyes Anglican College to narrowly make our way through to the final.

Chisholm College were undefeated and had great ballhandling skills but lacked some height, which worked in our favour. Our guards moved the ball well into the key and our talls did the hard work on the boards. CBC won the final 24-15.

The attitude and sportsmanship of all those involved was fantastic and I couldn't be more proud of the boys who took the court in a big day.

CBC jOURNEY 2018

After winning the South Carnival, CBC moved through to play in the regional Grand Final where we came up against an undefeated Sacred Heart College. Within the first two minutes Noah Cattallini had CBC ahead, 8 points to Sacred Heart 0.

After an energy-filled time out, Sacred Heart came out with a new game plan and modified structure. The next couple of quarters were close with CBC getting a very handy 15 point lead during the third. The boys contained their excitement to come out in the final quarter and work extremely well as a team. With two minutes left of the game Sacred Heart’s point guard came down and nailed three three pointers to get within six points. The CBC boys held strong to come out on top and win the cup 44-38.

YEARS 7/8/9 INTERMEDIATE The Junior Boys Basketball team were a great group of young boys who put in an excellent effort this year. CBC had four teams nominated for the carnival competition, with our A team winning four out of a possible five matches,

representing the College with pride and enthusiasm.

Unfortunately, CBC failed to advance through to the next round, meaning our Junior Boys’ Basketball experience started and finished on the same day. This being said, all students involved demonstrated behaviour and sportsmanship beyond their years. A big thank you to all of the players involved and to Mrs Alana Edwards for coaching the boys.

SENIOR BOYS The 2018 Senior Boys Basketball team was full of talented basketball players from a number of different year groups.

With a new season came a new coach, a new playbook and an added level of confidence about what the group could potentially achieve. Throughout the season CBC Fremantle battled away in a number of close encounters against extremely strong opposition teams. Thankfully, the boys demonstrated maturity and a level of game sense beyond their years to come away with a number of

nail-biting victories. Our most impressive performance of the year came against Chisholm Catholic College in a knock-out preliminary final away from home. The CBC team stuck together, executing the game plan and ultimately coming home with a well-earned victory.

Unfortunately, the following weeks’ Grand Final did not go to plan as the boys failed to fire during this particular fixture and were subsequently beaten in the most important game of the year. However, the season remained a huge success with a number of individual outstanding performers being unearthed throughout the year. A special mention has to be made of both Zachary Harris and Michael Palmiotti (Year 12) who were outstanding performers in each and every game in 2018.

We wish all of the departing Year 12 students all the best for their future endeavours and thank them for their outstanding contributions to the College.

CRoss country MR CHRIS PIETRONIRO AND MISS LISA TOGNOLINI CROSS COUNTRY COACHES The 2018 Cross Country season had a different beginning this year with the inception of the CBC running club, allowing eager students to build their fitness levels in preparation for the House carnival at the end of Term 1.

With the availability of the new College bus, we ventured to numerous new training locations including Manning Park, Leighton Beach, Stevens Reserve and the Left Bank, where the boys gained access to different types of tracks with varying terrain.

Throughout our campaign, numbers consistently ranged between 40 and 50 as the running club and the Cross Country squad became one. There was much discussion of tactics and lots of laughs at breakfast following training every Tuesday and Thursday morning.

Our first event was the State All Schools competition at McGillivray Oval where the weather really turned it on.

Our performance was exceptional and CBC had strong runners across all age groups, particularly in the 12 year old category where Ky Hehir came fifth overall and earned a place in the state team. At the completion of the final race, the team eagerly anticipated the results of the prestigious boys’ overall champion school. While CBC narrowly missed out by coming second to an extremely strong Sacred Heart College, their effort and comradery was outstanding throughout the day.

Two weeks after All Schools, the Associated and Catholic Colleges (ACC) Cross Country event was held. We had some tough decisions as we could only field six runners in each age group with two reserves. The team arrived early at Alderbury Reserve and it was clear the boys were determined to achieve their best. The conditions were appalling but with smiles on their faces and courage in their hearts the team battled tirelessly all day and it was

sensational to see the level of support and encouragement during every race.

There were some outstanding performances on the day with Isaac Coubrough placing first in the Inclusive Boys category and earning himself a position on the ACC All Stars Team.

Other honourable mentions are Ky Hehir placing sixth and Samuel Johnston placing 17th in their year group, on the way to CBC Fremantle winning the Year 7 boys’ championship trophy. Kelly Rawlings also showed the rewards of hard labour, finishing 14th in his age group.

Overall the Cross Country season was a success, with great leadership from Preston Hinton and Hayden Redmond and numerous other team members who stepped up to help and support.

We are extremely impressed with the team’s attitude and courage and look forward to achieving bigger and better in 2019.

HOCKEY MS SHAYNI NELSON HOCKEY COACH

Two carnivals; two silver medals. Fantastic numbers if you were an analyst, particularly given the size of our College and it residing in the heartland of AFL in the West. Hockey continues to grow at CBC and we continue to punch above our weight.

This year the school participated in the Years 7 to 9 Ross Meadow Cup run by State School WA and the ACC Hockey Challenge. Both teams were selected after eight weeks of early morning trainings. We regularly had more than 30 students at training braving the rain and cold on Friday mornings during Term 2. Selection was made difficult by enthusiasm and level of improvement made by all of the players, including those who don’t play hockey in the club system.

The junior team, led admirably by Year 9 student Cooper Martin, was undefeated during their carnival on Friday 12 June until the final, when the boys were beaten by John XXIII College on several 1v1 penalties. A special shout out to our goalkeeper in the final, Nicholas Dart (Year 10), who didn’t even know what a 1v1 was until he had to face five of them!

The College First XI team displayed great discipline, skill and passion when they competed in the ACC Hockey Carnival on Thursday 21 June. We started the day strongly with a five to nil win over All Saints College. We then went on to win three more pool games before a loss to overall winner Nagle College and a frustrating draw to Ursula Frayne. This meant we finished second in Pool A and would play fellow Oblate Brother College, Mazenod, in the semi-final stage. Our

128

CBC jOURNEY 2018

team started this do-or-die game well and went two goals up in the first five minutes. Mazenod got one back later in the match but our experienced Year 12 state player, Zac Boglio, controlled the ball through the midfield, and we won progressing through to the final against Geraldton’s Nagle College.

The final was a fierce battle where our boys dug deep to match it with the team that beat them 3-1 during the round matches. We defended strongly, with our goalkeeper Ethan Contera (Year 11) making a number of tough saves to keep the score sheet clean at the end of the game. Like the junior team, we lost this final cruelly on strokes.

Probably my proudest moment of the year happened when seven squad members volunteered to come down and be part of a school-based practical hockey assessment for Year 12 PE Studies students, Mitchell Pace and Alex Winner. The volunteers came down and played against the candidates before school so that we could assess their game play.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the boys for their dedication and hard work this year, they were a pleasure to coach. I would like to single out Hockey Captains Mitchell Pace and Alex Winner who very supportive and led by example at trainings and in games. Thanks also to Mrs Amelia Andrew and Mrs Kerry Faichney who helped coach and manage the Hockey teams this year. Finally, thanks to my supportive friend who has helped grow the sport while he has been Head of Sport at the College, Mr Stephen Hunter. I will miss you mate!

ROWING MR GARRY HART ROWING COACH It is 5.15am and six degrees on Tuesday morning and the boys hit the water after a 15 minute rowing machine warmup. This is a typical training regime for the Rowing squad, three mornings a week for three-quarters of the year, and each boy can count the missed training sessions on one hand. Combined with after-school training, this dedication is now starting to bring success in the All Schools Rowing regattas with more than 40 gold medals won by CBC boys.

The Rowing boys organise all of their own fundraising and boat maintenance and are backed by a wonderful parent group fully supported by our local Fremantle Rowing club.

Rowing is not a sport for the faint hearted; it is a whole-body sport that requires a great deal of discipline, dedication, fitness and strength. This has been instilled in the boys since day one and they have thrived on it.

In 2018 we were thrilled that Year 11 Digby Marshall competed in Sydney at the national championships and achieved a respectable finals placement against the country’s best.

Well done boys; we look forward to the 2019 season.

RUGBY MR NICHOLAS SMITH RUGBY COACH

The CBC Rugby programme continued in 2018 and focussed on providing a positive rugby experience for those involved.

The squad included boys with a wide range of skills and featured a number of opportunities in both Sevens and the more traditional format of the code.

The season commenced with two teams consisting of a combination of Year 9 and Year 10 students representing CBC at the Combined Schools & Colleges’ Sevens tournament at the Southern Lions club in Success.

Despite playing against a number of more experienced and recognised rugby schools, both CBC Fremantle sides represented the College with aplomb.

Throughout the season, the College featured Year 7/8, and Year 9 squads, playing in a series of matches against

Mandurah Catholic, Thornlie Christian, John XXIII and La Salle Colleges. While the season provided a range of results, the boys’ determination to represent their team and the College in the best possible manner was unwavering. Highlights from the season included the Year 7/8 squad turning in a polished attaching performance and spirited defensive effort against John XXIII College, and the Year 9 boys competed valiantly against an older and bigger Mandurah Catholic College team.

Throughout the season, each and every player demonstrated the attributes of courage, sportsmanship, teamwork and determination to not only challenge the opposition, but ensure that CBC Fremantle Rugby was represented in the best possible way.

soccer MR ALEXANDER HALL AND MRS CAROL DENNY YEAR 7/8/9 SOCCER COACHES MR JEREMY PERIS AND MRS PETRINA RICHMOND INTERMEDIATE A COACHES MR JOHN HORTENSE INTERMEDIATE B SOCCER COACH MR NEIL ALWEYN SENIOR SOCCER COACH YEAR 7/8 A TEAM The Year 7/8 Soccer A team had an excellent season in 2018. They remained undefeated in initial league section, progressing through to the knockout stage where they were narrowly defeated by South Coast Baptist College. The boys demonstrated excellent teamwork, determination, spirit and organisation in all games.

The boys were an absolute pleasure to coach. I thank everyone who assisted the team throughout the season, whether you were the bus driver, linesman, event organiser or just there to support the team. Overall, the boys were excellent ambassadors for the College and I wish them luck on their road to Soccer stardom.

YEAR 7/8 B TEAM The first game was at home against Corpus Christi. We had a shaky start playing against the wind and into the sun in the first half and went down 0-2 early in the game. Once the boys settled they started to play good attacking football with some really good through balls creating several goal scoring opportunities that unfortunately did not hit the target. The boys played with a lot of endeavour, but by half-time we were down 3-0. The whole team came out fighting in the second half and Joshua Louthean (Year 8) made a great run through the middle, slotting the ball in the back of the net to narrow the margin. We continued to apply pressure, taking good advantage of the wind, but could not convert. Then a lapse of concentration at the back resulted in us conceding another goal. We pressed hard for the remainder of the game but could only narrow the gap to 2-4 courtesy of Josh.

Our second game was against Emmanuel. The boys played well, but found it difficult to penetrate through their

defence. We conceded a couple of goals and didn’t look like scoring when out of the blue Finbar Holohan (Year 8) kicked a great goal from outside the box. That perked us up considerably, but we made no further impact on the scoreboard.

Our third game was the CBC derby and again another super effort by the boys. We played a defensive formation and the boys stuck to our tactics really well. Despite this, the A side were up 3–0 by half time, with goals from Chaney Pittorino and Mikey Scafetta (Year 8), and an unstoppable strike from Etienne Fourie on his left foot into the top of the net from just outside the box. The boys continued to play with a lot of heart in the second half and only conceded another two goals. Despite the darkening sky, the rain held off for the game. We had no subs, so again all credit to the boys for holding the opposition to five goals.

In our last game we were away playing against Lumen Christi. We arrived quite late and were slow to get started, but once we settled the boys started to play with confidence and by half-time we were up 2-1 courtesy of Josh. Again we had no subs and the boys fought hard to maintain their lead. Despite this, Lumen continued to apply pressure on our defence and we conceded a controversial penalty which they converted. They had an unlimited supply of subs and towards the end of the game, as our boys started to tire, they scored the winning goal. It was another great effort, despite the loss.

I would like to thank Mrs Pauline Van Lohuizen for her assistance throughout the season and of course all the boys for their commitment and the spirit in which they played the game.

>> INTERMEDIATE A TEAM The Intermediate A Soccer team were dominant early on and won every game in the group stage of the competition.

In attack they were exceptional, scoring 27 goals. In defence, they were solid, only conceding four.

The Year 10 boys assisted the Year 9 students to grow their understanding of the game. Together, they analysed and reflected on their games in an attempt to help the team perform better. The passion showed by the students was on full display once they reached the knockout round. Down 2-0 at half-time, the boys showed great determination to score early, but ultimately came up short and lost 2-1.

Best and Fairest, Tae Merenda was an attacking threat every game and Runner-Up Zachary Harris-Walker was composed and in a marauding fullback position. Top goal scorer Craig Pittson (all Year 10) proved a reliable option up front for a midfield that regularly provided opportunities to score.

As the Year 10 boys move on to represent the College in the Senior team next year, the Year 9 students look forward to stepping into a leadership role for the Intermediate side and going one better next year.

INTERMEDIATE B TEAM This year the B team did extremely well, managing one win, one draw and a couple of very close losses that kept the spectators on their toes throughout the matches.

I was very impressed with the dedication and combative spirit that the boys showed in training and against very experienced opposition – including the CBC boys from the A team.

The regular players were Lucas Benino, John Carrick, Liam Donaldson, Eben Fourie, Ettiene Fourie, Jayden Galati, John Hooker, Indy Imbuldeniya, Ryan Lobban, Cooper Martin, Tristan Massimi, Ben Mitchell, Marc Morolla, Ashton Muir,

134

CBC jOURNEY 2018

Zavier Schock, Archie Tither, Dylan Tracey and Yoseph Yehualashet. Indy and Ashton were outstanding defenders while Ben and Eben credited themselves in goals with eyecatching saves.

Well done, lads! This season, the boys have without doubt been a thorn and a threat to the opposition. It was a pleasure to be their coach. A special thank you to Mr John Black and Mr Stephen Hunter who were a great support and made my job such an easy and delightful one.

SENIOR BOYS TEAM The CBC Fremantle Senior Boys Soccer team had strong dreams to run deep into the School Sports WA Soccer competition in 2018. Featuring a squad that oozed class and depth and covered most positions, we were very confident that most teams would find us difficult to beat.

In the round robin stage of the competition, the boys went through undefeated. Wins against Corpus Christi, Emmanuel, Seton, St Norbert’s and Lumen Christi Colleges saw us top the group and head into the knockout final stages of the competition. In the first round of the finals we came up against South Coast Baptist B team, and the boys put on their best performance of the season to come away with a 5-1 win. The second round of the finals saw a rematch against South Coast Baptist’s A side. Despite a good start for the boys, the strong soccer academy began to dominate periods of the game, and eventually ran out comfortable winners 4-1. It was a disappointing and premature end to the season, but the boys all put in good shifts on the day and were just beaten by a very polished outfit.

I would like to say a big thank you to Tiago De Souza, our Captain, and the rest of our Year 12 players who have represented our College so proudly over their time at CBC: Matthew Banks, Angus Christie, Sebastian Da Silva Angus Grant, Bayley Holman, Daniel McShane, Oakley Monument, and Yordanos Yehualahet. Finally, a huge thank you to Miss Maria Garbin, our team manager extraordinaire.

surfing MR FRANK MCTERNAN SURFING COACH This year’s State Schools Championship Surfing competition was held at Trigg Beach in less than ideal conditions. There was a nicely sized swell rolling in, but the wind was howling onshore, chopping up the waves and making it difficult for the surfers to perform at a high level.

The CBC team was a large one. We had three teams in every bodyboarding division and managed to put up a team in each surfing division as well.

As the heats began, the boys realised that even with the onshore winds, the waves were actually really fun to surf with plenty of size and banks that pushed the waves into reasonably long lefts and rights.

Our boys all fought well in their heats, and some of the boys advanced into the semi-finals and even the finals, but the stars of the day were Finn Hussey and Noah Masters (Year 10). Their team won every heat and went on to win the senior school boys’ competition for our district.

A week later, Finn and Noah represented the school in the state finals. The conditions were beautiful with shoulder high waves and fantastic banks peeling off in both directions.

The wind was a very light offshore creating near perfect conditions. The state final is a single elimination event and we drew the first heat against Margaret River Senior High School. Not only did our boys get the bad luck of drawing the best surfing school in the state, but they were surfing against Margaret River’s two top surfers. Our boys surfed incredibly well, scoring what would be winning results in most other heats, but the Margaret River surfers were just too good.

They won the heat and then went on to claim their status as champion school.

Both Noah and Finn were exemplary in the manner in which they represented the school, but Finn’s positive attitude, sportsmanship, and generosity throughout both tournaments was why he won the Ben Foley Award for 2018.

The award is presented in memory of Mr Ben Foley, a well-loved and respected teacher who was passionate about mentoring boys and surfing.

Overall the boys in every division and across two full days of surfing represented the school with honour and decorum. I couldn’t be more proud of their behaviour and performance.

swimming MR STEPHEN HUNTER HEAD OF SPORT The 2018 Swimming season commenced with up to 90 students coming along to training sessions on Tuesday and Thursday mornings seeking to improve their fitness or swimming ability in the pool. Our swim team is in very good shape and set to challenge the A Division ACC shields.

HOUSE SWIMMING CARNIVAL The House Swimming Carnival is a great way to start the year. It is one of the most popular events on the College calendar, providing students with the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to personal excellence outside of the classroom, while also promoting House spirit.

On Friday 23 February the House Swimming Carnival at HBF Stadium introduced the two new Houses to shake up the competition, and created a whole new atmosphere for the day.

138

CBC jOURNEY 2018

In their first year, O'Connor House showed they were a force to be reckoned with, winning this year's Carnival after a day of sportsmanship and fun. Rice kept the pressure on the newcomers all day, and it wasn't until the relays that they were finally left in O'Connor's wake. With this year's carnival marking 20 years since Patrick's last win, the pressure was on to make it a competition to remember. Despite their best, the gents in green couldn't make 2018 their year, finishing in last place.

Supported by a contingent of parents in the stands, boys of all abilities dived in and gave the day their all, earning valuable points for their House with less than 70 points separating the top two positions.

In addition to the traditional events in the main swimming area, boys were encouraged to participate in 25m races as well as body-board

and tube races in the dive pool. Our traditional water displacement competition was again a huge hit on centre stage.

Many of the students posted great times with one record being broken. Harrison Alliss (Samson House) from Year 7 set a new 50m Butterfly record with a time of 35.19 seconds. We look forward to seeing Harrison in the pool for many years to come.

QUAD MEET The Quad meet was held at HBF stadium on Tuesday 27 February, with CBC competing against some of the top PSA schools, Hale, Aquinas and Guildford Grammar. With only four days to recover from the House Swimming Carnival and even less to determine the squad, the CBC boys were extremely impressive with everyone doing their best. The meet was dominated by a strong Hale team with the CBC swimmers showing some real determination to beat the boys from north of the river. This meet allows our boys the experience of an elite competition, which is a great preparation for the A Division ACC carnival.

At the end of the evening CBC finished third with some outstanding efforts from our boys. It was a fantastic opportunity for the junior boys to understand how high the bar has been set and gives us all an opportunity to strive for our best.

A DIVISION ACC The opportunity for the CBC swim team to show their talent in the pool against other A Division schools within the ACC was the most exciting competition we have been a part of in the past few years. All the boys tried their hardest, recording personal best times, with all the support from the CBC community evident.

The carnival highlighted the collective strength of CBC's swim team, with CBC performing extremely well in the A and B division relays.

CBC's team of 72 swimmers placed second in the junior and third in the senior boys' categories.

A huge thank you goes to Mr John Rear, Mr Ben Shaw and Mrs Karen Spence who helped prepare the team for their competitions through training sessions and supplying breakfast. Some of our achievements would not have been possible without all the hard work and dedication by these staff.

This year we had a very large number of students turn up, which meant that some great tennis was played as we only had a limited number of places.

Unfortunately we had a few interruptions to our training sessions but the students took that in their stride and showed their commitment to achieving their best by coming along early on a few extra occasions.

the digital world MR JOHN REAR HEAD OF E-LEARNING

T

he increasing use and integration of Digital Technologies in education prompted CBC to introduce the Head of e-Learning position for the start of 2018. This role primarily lends support to the entire CBC community in the education of our boys via the use of technology with a focus on using technology as an effective tool in the educational process as opposed to the driving force behind it.

At the beginning of the year the Year 7 cohort received specific information and tuition in the use of their devices and the College infrastructure to assist them with planning, communication and collaboration. These sessions with the new students were a great success and the boys were able to hit the ground running in the second week of the year.

The fine multimedia presentations they created with their new skills were on display at the parent information evening and were a really engaging way for the students to introduce themselves with technology being the vehicle for delivering their message.

144

CBC jOURNEY 2018

While we could not be classed as ‘revolutionary’ with respect to ICT integration in our educational programmes at CBC, we are certainly ‘evolutionary’ and embrace the constantly changing face of IT and e-Learning. We acknowledge that the boys are engaged and excited about the dynamic digital world and seek to harness this enthusiasm to ensure the education of our boys keeps up with world-wide trends.

Therefore, I spent many hours working with staff and students exploring different ways to enhance their education with technology. The students and their teachers discovered different ways to share the education experience with OneDrive, Canva, Sway and Glogging now being part of the language used within the walls of the traditional classroom.

In addition, I spent a significant amount of time researching and investigating international trends and issues surrounding the use of technology with the view to how we can best make use of it in our College.

TECHNOLOGIES MR CRAIG JORDAN HEAD OF TECHNOLOGIES

T

his year the new Western Australian Technologies Curriculum was in effect, and required our subjects to take on a greater design focus. For the first time students are now required to study Technologies subjects for the entire year in Year 7, and to study both a Design Technologies and Digital Technologies subject in Year 8. In Year 7 this means all students engage in one term of Catering, one term of Materials, and two terms of Digital Technologies. In Year 8 students have the choice of Catering, Materials or Practical Engineering and Design for one semester, and then one semester of Digital Technologies. Students can choose their electives and subjects as they please in Years 9 to 12.

Our student numbers have continued to increase across all year groups and subjects, especially in the senior years. This year there were two Year 11 and one large Year 12 Woodwork classes to cater for the interest. These students have continued to hone their woodwork crafting skills with the manufacture of some beautiful tables and cabinets that they can truly be proud of. We have also seen a considerable boost in numbers in Metalwork, so much so that a new workshop is required. In 2019 The Technical Graphics room will be converted for this purpose and house top-quality equipment, taking our available workshops to two Metalwork and two Woodwork rooms. Technical Graphics will continue to be offered to all students in all years, but with the use of laptop computers we no longer need a dedicated space for the subject.

This year we also celebrated a first for the Technologies department,with Kaleb Milsom (Year 12) who won the state gold medal for VET Metals and Engineering last year, representing WA and CBC at the National Worldskills competition in Sydney. We were delighted that he also won the National Gold Medal, making him the best

secondary school metalworker in the country!

In Digital Technologies, our students have enjoyed pushing the limits of their laptop computers and their creativity through a variety of exciting projects. In Year 7, students explored the advantages of Office 365, and tried their hands at coding and animation.

In Year 8, students produced some entertaining short films, and improved their skills at coding by creating apps using online tools.

The Year 9 boys took a deep dive into Office 365 and explored the large range of apps available. They also produced some advanced animations and learned graphic design skills using the Adobe suite of products. Year 10 students took on a business approach to Digital Technologies, an essential element for success in senior school AIT, and continued to develop their skills in a wide range of software packages and ICT skills. Our hardworking Year 11 and 12 ATAR boys have excelled in both the practical and theoretical aspects of ICT, focusing on business and the broader community.

I thank all Technologies staff for their tireless work this year. I would also like to welcome Mr David Von Felten to the department, who joined us part way through Term 3 and will continue to teach Woodwork and Metalwork subjects next year.

workplace learning MR GARRY HART HEAD OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING

W

hen I discuss attributes of an employable youth with potential employers, they are looking for a worker that is well-rounded, honest and willing do a full day’s work. I am very aware that some of our boys are still quite undecided about their immediate future but there is still a need to prepare our boys for this desirable work ethic and to explore a field of employment they may enjoy.

Throughout the year across all ages, students are exposed to various careers, course counselling and career trade expos. This year the Try-a-Trade programme provided 16 Year 10 students with the opportunity to work in a simulated environment to demonstrate their expertise within the trades. The students chose tiling, plastering or bricklaying for three days, helping to guide their career paths. Year 11 students took advantage of the INSTEP work experience programme every Friday, which can sometimes lead to full-time employment.

This year we have had a record number of students completing VET courses within the College and with outside providers. At CBC in 2018, the Certificate II Courses that were available included Business, Engineering, Outdoor Recreation, Sampling & Measurement, Sport & Recreation, Visual Arts – Wood, and Visual Arts – Technical Graphics.

In total, 138 students are enrolled in these school-based courses totalling 57,236 VET training hours. I would sincerely like to thank all of the staff at CBC who go above and beyond their required teaching load to obtain their own trade qualifications while providing their students with opportunities to demonstrate competence in the practical and theory components required by the various trade organisations.

Being centrally located within Fremantle, 106 students also have the opportunity in Year 11 and Year 12 to become upskilled outside of the College through various TAFE providers – including South Metropolitan TAFE (SMT), Skill Hire, College of Electrical Training (CET) and MPA Plumbing – to obtain various Certificates. Courses that have been completed by the students include Auto-Electrical, Business,

146

CBC jOURNEY 2018

Construction, Education Support, Electrical, Engineering Technical, Electronics, ICT, and Population Health. This gives the students wider career prospects and an alternative pathway to University while still being afforded the opportunity to graduate from CBC Fremantle.

WorldSkills Australia is the nation’s premier platform for showcasing trades and skills through the regional and national competitions. This year, seven students represented CBC at the Western Australian World Skills competition.

Through dedication and commitment to detail, Daniel Bowater received the silver medal for VETiS Metals & Engineering, with Kaleb Milsom being awarded the gold.

After months of additional training and attending extensive after-school classes at Midland TAFE, Kaleb represented Western Australia and CBC Fremantle at the 2018 WorldSkills Australian Championships, and won the gold medal as the Australian Champion for Metals Engineering VETiS. Past student Mark Quattrini ('13) represented Western Australia for the second time after winning the WA state gold medal for plumbing and being awarded the 2018 WorldSkills silver Australian medal. I was very honoured to be selected as a team leader for Western Australia, and to see the problemsolving and innovation that both gentlemen displayed was certainly remarkable.

With the support of parents, school holidays are a perfect opportunity for all boys, even university-bound students, to experience the workplace and help cement a career and refocus their goals. We would like to congratulate all students who have been accepted into apprenticeships and look forward to seeing you all in the future.

As we reflect on 2018, I would like to recognise the lasting legacy Br John Murray brought to our VET department, where he was the work experience coordinator from 1996. His elegance, good will, and the patience to listen and be available to discuss life with the boys will always be remembered. I would also like to thank Mrs Jennifer Giancaspro for her fantastic help in the office throughout the year.

the road to kiwirrkurra MR JASON MATTHEWS INDIGENOUS RECONCILIATION COORDINATOR

K

iwirrkurra is one of Australia’s most remote communities, located in the Gibson Desert on the NT and WA border.

Each year it is an absolute honour to be invited back to stay with the people, and 10 Year 11 students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in one of the world’s richest and oldest cultures. The relationship between Kiwirrkurra and CBC Fremantle spans well over a decade and continues due the tireless work of former teacher Mr Pater Baldry and the late Mr Mark Walawski.

We are grateful to Newcrest Mining who sponsor our Immersion, assisting with flights, accommodation and some snacks for the long trip from Telfer to Kiwirrkurra. From the moment the plane landed in Telfer, it was all hands on deck as we creatively packed the 4x4 bus with all supplies, swags, personal belongings and then finally the students. With the packing done, we hit the bumpy red dirt road where we were treated to Mr Peris’ eclectic play list, which kept us entertained.

After hours of dodging potholes, camels and bush turkey, we arrive at our campsite, collected firewood and set up camp for the night. Rolling out their swags and admiring the night sky in remote central Australia was a first for many. Our first night was spent around the fire, briefing students and having open discussions about what to expect the following day.

As we drove in to Kiwirrkurra, we were greeted with huge smiles as we passed the housing and general store, finally pulling up at the school, which became our base camp. It didn’t take long for inquisitive local children to start making their way across to the school, eager to meet the next batch of CBC gentlemen who had come to visit. Instantly, bonds were made and barriers were broken down, with children from two very different communities forging a bond that grows throughout the Immersion and is the key to a positive learning experience for our boys.

During the week, every opportunity was taken to immerse ourselves in the culture, with the aim of learning as much

150

CBC jOURNEY 2018

as possible. This is an important message that we discuss with the CBC boys -- we are not going there to ‘help’ as that infers the community is not self-sufficient and requires intervention, and that could not be further than the truth.

Throughout the week we engaged in the following: • • • • • • • • •

Visited classrooms to work with the children.

Ran school sport sessions for children.

Visited the Arts Centre and Women’s Centre.

Cooked meals for the sick and elderly in the Woman’s Centre.

Visited culturally significant places.

Went on a hunting trip with elders.

Supported staff with maintenance jobs.

Trained with the local football team.

Tried witchetty grubs, kangaroo tail and goanna.

When it came time to leave, there was not a dry eye amongst all of the children. The bonds they formed were magical, even in such a short period of time, and many will stay friends forever. Our students opened their hearts and minds, leaving Kiwirrkurra with new perspectives, values and appreciation and during our final reflection it was clear the impact this Immersion had on them.

Kiwirrkurra is a strong, culturally rich and supportive community and we are extremely grateful for this opportunity. We hope the boys use their experiences to educate others and open more hearts and minds in the process.

I would like to thank Newcrest Mining for the amazing work they do with community relations and supporting our Immersion, and I thank them for their vision and generosity. I would also like to thank Miss Emily Bowran and Mr Jeremy Peris for their support, and the staff of Kiwirrkurra Remote School for facilitating the opportunity.

Finally a huge thank you to the people of Kiwirrkurra who made us feel welcome from the start and shared their lives and culture with us.

STANDING IN SOLIDARITY MS CHERIE BUTCHER COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING COORDINATOR

S

tanding at the top of a hill overlooking the outskirts of Lima in Peru, 11 CBC Fremantle students were shocked at the panorama before them. As far as the eye could see spread the homes of people living in extreme poverty, born into circumstances beyond their control and marginalised by their status as part the world’s poor.

Dylan Allen, Ethan Contera, Sam Garbellini, Lloyd Jacob-Keenan, Liam Kennedy, Fletcher Kerspien, Joshua Koleszko and Daniel Leavy from Year 11, and Callan Howe-Robinson, Stephen Jaeger and Jacob Shales in Year 12 signed up for the inaugural student Peru Immersion to travel beyond borders and build a home for a family in need. The students were accompanied by Spanish born CBC parent, David Contera, and three College staff, Ms Cherie Butcher Mr Adrian Correia and Miss Shelley Nodwell.

A few days earlier, the team had arrived in Peru that was in the grip of the excitement of FIFA World Cup fever. Red and white strips were everywhere, and the boys were plunged right into the midst of it, gathering with students at fellow Edmund Rice School, Fe y Alegria 26 in the impoverished district of Canto Grande to watch Australia versus Peru on their classroom TV sets.

With their nation’s heroes beating the Socceroos 2-0, the locals were able to relax and the boys experienced some genuine Peruvian hospitality with

152

CBC jOURNEY 2018

dancing, singing and many games of basketball and soccer as they tried out their basic Spanish. The warm welcome was overwhelming for the visitors, who were treated as if they were soccer royalty, signing autographs for the children who swamped them and delighting in the festivities of the day.

The halcyon hours spent with the children kept the boys motivated for the hard work of building a home for a family in need. The hardy group carried the materials up the hills, working in teams to negotiate the rocky incline while toting the unwieldly prefabricated wall panels and roofing sheets, and then erected the house under the direction of the carpenter, Jorge Sanchez Carrillo.

Physical exhaustion did not stop the CBC students from bonding with Gladys, Juan Franco and baby Diego as they watched their casita taking shape. Abandoned by an abusive husband and father, the family were a constant reminder of the reality of the relentless poverty, exploitation and vulnerability of the people living in the slums of Lima.

The meagre pile of furniture that the boys assisted Gladys to arrange in her new home made the contrast between their own comfortable lives and the humble existence of the family they had become attached to even more poignant.

Every evening the boys returned to the Christian Brothers’ quarters, travelling by local transport and experiencing the

real Lima few tourists get to see. A visit to the National Museum taught a great deal about the volatile history of the country, and the boys also explored the Basílica y Convento de San Francisco with its spooky catacombs, and took in the remarkable Circuito Magico del Agua water show to round out their Lima experience.

The group was also lucky to catch up with Old Boy Bevan Grant (’16) who was in South America and suffering from an illness that prevented him from being there for the building of the house. Bevan spent a couple of days with the Brothers to recover and the CBC boys past and present caught up with FIFA results and news from home.

The students also had the opportunity to stay with a local family further out in the hills surrounding Lima and assisted with projects in the local community including laying a concrete pad and painting the chapel.

Fletcher and Sam celebrated their birthdays with a party with the locals, dancing the night away around a fire and proving that language is no barrier when having fun. The physical and emotional challenges brought out the best in the young men, who built warm relationships with their hosts and displayed immense respect to the people whose homes they were privileged to visit.

It was with some sadness that the boys left their new friends, Bevan and the Brothers and boarded their flight to Cusco, high in the Peruvian Andes

and the gateway to one of the wonders of the world, Macchu Picchu.

The boys were free to discover the markets and indulge in the local cuisine, as well as keep up to date with the World Cup finals on every TV in almost every shop and restaurant on their explorations.

The archaeological remains of the Incas and the beauty of the Sacred Valley proved to be a fascinating end to their intrepid travels, but it was the simple casitas, the warmth of the students at Fe y Alegria and the bright smiles of Juan Franco and little Diego that stayed with the boys on the long journey home.

We thank Brothers Paul and Steve, whose warm welcome, good humour and ubiquitous ham and cheese rolls provided invaluable comfort and support during some very emotionally and physically draining days. Their love and commitment shown to the people of Lima plants the seeds of hope and change, and the boys swiftly became very fond of the "Brethren." We thank them also for caring for Old Boy Bevan Grant, including arranging for a visitor while he was in hospital, and highlighting the living Gospel Values of our Edmund Rice family.

Thank you also to David Contera, whose ability to speak Spanish was incredibly handy, but also for his positive outlook, work ethic and huge heart. What beautiful people there are in our CBC ommunity!

C

BC students and their parents described the 2018 CBC Fremantle Singapore Music Tour as “the experience of a life time”, and what an experience it was! Thanks to the financial support of our Music Parents’ group and the meticulous planning of our tour leader and Head of Arts, Mr Shane Mancuso, we enjoyed nine jam-packed days of music, performances and cultural immersion -- not to mention plenty of opportunities for retail therapy!

Using the amazing train network and walking everywhere meant the boys developed a good sense of their surroundings and really gain an appreciation for Singapore.

Great (and exhausting) fun was had at Universal Studios, the Night Safari and Sentosa Island Water Park, with some very entertaining photos taken at the Trick-Eye Museum.

We visited a number of different and interesting places to both shop and eat, including Little India, Chinatown, the Arab district, the Bugis Street Markets and Orchard Road.

The tour itinerary was rounded out with a tour of the Battleboxes used in World War II, attending Mass at the Cathedral and hearing their inspirational choir, as well as several concerts.

Our musical performances were varied and all very rewarding. The boys played for some very enthusiastic

154

CBC jOURNEY 2018

and appreciative lindy hop dancers, as well as form new friendships playing music with students from Yio Chu Kang Secondary College. Performing for tourists on Sentosa Island in front of the Merlion statue was a highlight for everyone, despite draining heat and humidity. Our international audience included old Perth friends who were there by chance, a mother and aunt of an Old Boy of the College on their way back from Europe, and a lady from South Africa who had a great dance to our music and was joined by Tim McClelland (Year 11) when he wasn’t singing!

Playing music together has the ability to create very powerful bonds between people. The CBC gentlemen who participated in the tour have developed these bonds over a number of years and these were significantly strengthened as they spent nine days travelling, eating and living together, as well as experiencing new and unfamiliar customs. Independent of their families, the boys provided support for each other and pulled together in challenging times, usually when lugging and loading gear in trying conditions!

It was a privilege to spend this time with these young men; to see their eyes opened to new possibilities for themselves as people and as musicians.

T

he Melbourne Football Tour is a highlight of the College's AFL programme, taking 41 students on a once in a lifetime experience in the heartland of Australian Rules to see first-hand the professionalism, dedication and sacrifice required to make it at the elite level, while enjoying all the attractions Melbourne has to offer.

Led by Captains Joshua Goodwin and Riley Rees-Turner the group trained all through term one in preparation for putting their skills to the test against some of the best schools in Australia. Playing matches against Mentone Grammar and fellow EREA schools, St Joseph's Geelong and CBC St Kilda, was outstanding preparation for the season. Our boys played with great spirit in all matches with some excellent performances across the board, with many putting their hand up for First XVIII selection.

A major emphasis of the tour was educating the boys on the sport science, training regimes, recovery techniques, nutrition requirements and recruiting policies of AFL clubs, as well as the history of the great game. To provide them with this insight, the boys were treated to several AFL tours, starting with a visit to the MCG and National Sport Museum.

Having watched Melbourne take on Richmond the previous evening, the boys enjoyed the opportunity to sit in on a video analysis of the match by the Demon's staff, led by former Bulldogs coach Brendan McCartney. Melbourne coach and dual premiership player, Simon Goodwin, then gave us exclusive access to their facilities, speaking to the group about key aspects of life in the AFL. Carlton Best and Fairest Patrick Cripps spoke to the group about leadership and the sacrifice required to play elite sport before taking the boys on a tour of their facilities.

Sam Menegola Old Boy ’09) came down to watch the boys play in Geelong against St Joseph’s. He then spoke to the group about his journey in the AFL system, which included stints at Hawthorn, Fremantle before being drafted by Geelong. His message of never giving up on your dreams and working harder with every disappointment until you achieve success was great inspiration for the boys.

Collingwood assistant coach and former Fremantle champion Justin Longmuir provided a tour of their state

156

CBC jOURNEY 2018

of the art facilities at the Holden Centre. Longmuir spoke about his role at the club as head of team defence which no longer was seen as the role of just defenders but every player on the field. Longmuir’s addition to the Collingwood coaching staff has contributed to the team becoming the best defensive side in the AFL and ultimately making it into the Grand Final.

The highlight for most boys was the opportunity to visit Fox and Channel 7 studios and feature live on TV. Appearing on AFL 360 across two nights, meeting serval stars including Jordan Lewis, Shaun Burgoyne, Dermott Brereton, Jason Dunstall, Jack Rielwoldt, Chris Scott and Allan Richardson was a dream come true. The boys were also treated to a Q and A with the iconic duo Gerard Whateley and Mark Robinson, who gave the boys a number of off-the-record and exclusive bits of information. The experience with the AFL media didn’t stop there, with the boys being part of the audience of Channel 7 Game Day, where they opened the show singing the Edmund Rice anthem live on air.

Featuring a star-studded panel of Patrick Dangerfield, Joshua Watts, Glen Maxwell, Luke Parker, Jude Bolton and Hamish McLachlan, the show gave the boys great access to the legends of Australian football in between breaks, where they were able to individually meet, talk and take photos with each of them. This was then topped off with an appearance on the Bounce later that afternoon where Tom Muskarovsky (Year 11) joined the panel featuring Jason Dunstall, Cameron Mooney and Danny Frawley. Tom stole the show, starring on national TV and presenting the weekly winner of the Golden Fist award.

Students also had the chance to reflect on the sacrifices of those who came before them at a beautiful Dawn Service at Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance before attending the sell-out Anzac Day blockbuster between Collingwood and Essendon. This was one of seven amazing games the boys enjoyed during the week.

The Melbourne Football Tour not only celebrates the abilities of CBC's footballers, but also rewards them for the time and effort they have devoted to the sport over their time at the College, providing each student with great memories that they will cherish for the rest of their lives.

symbols of our journey YEAR 12 GRADUATION ADDRESS CALLAN HOWE-ROBINSON

I

feel honoured and humbled to be standing here in front of you tonight to share with you my symbol that has represented my journey at this College. The symbol I have chosen is the 400m running race. I have chosen this symbol as athletics is a great passion of mine and also represents my journey at CBC rather well. I won’t be talking about the race itself but the hard work and preparation that leads up to the run.

Some of you here might not be familiar with running a 400 or what goes into training for this gruelling event, but you will all be familiar with a woman by the name of Cathy Freeman who won a gold medal in the 400m during the 2000 Sydney Olympics, in what was one of the greatest moments in Australian sporting history. For the parents and teachers in the room, you may have watched this amazing race live on TV, but for us Year 12 boys this historical event occurred the year we were born.

The joy and jubilation of Freeman running across the finish line has been replayed a million times and celebrated by all Australians but few are aware of the pain, hard work, stress, sacrifice and love that helped her achieve that moment. Not to mention the overwhelming support she received from families and coaches. Tonight the graduating cohort of 2018 will be paraded across this stage like Cathy Freeman was during her lap of honour after she won gold, but, just like Freeman, it isn’t the actual win that makes the moment so special, it is the journey that leads to the win, and this is why tonight is so special.

We have all been on different journeys over the course of our time at CBC. Our journeys haven’t always been smooth sailing, we’ve all experienced times of pain, disappointment and failure. Whether it was a poor test mark or a poor performance in sport , it’s been our ability to learn, move on and bounce back from these moments that has shaped and made us the resilient young gentlemen that we all are today.

160

CBC jOURNEY 2018

Cathy Freeman would never have been able to have achieved her gold medal if she didn’t face setbacks on her journey towards the Olympics. These setbacks were what shaped her; these setbacks helped her to learn from her flaws and to improve her performance, just as our setbacks have helped us to develop and change into resilient, proud and strong young men.

Just as Cathy’s coaches assisted and guided her through tough times leading up to the games, the staff of CBC and our parents have supported and guided us through our journey. Personally, I can’t thank my parents enough.

The constant love, support and strength they have provided for me has been unbelievable. They have been on this journey with me every step of the way, they have shared my emotions and battled the tough times with me. They have been my rock. They have sacrificed so much for me, just so I can be happy and achieve my best. They have watched me grow from the small young boy, just starting primary school for the very first time, to the 18 year old who is graduating from high school on this day. They have done so much for me and I hope I have made them proud.

Gentlemen, I am sure you will all agree that the staff at CBC have been extraordinary. The work they put in behind the scenes is incredible. Teachers at this school go above and beyond always willing to stay back and offer an extra revision session, open the gym so we can play sport or be there to offer advice when we are down. Just like Cathy’s coaches, their work is intangible and they may never get the credit they deserve for our achievements but they will never be forgotten in our hearts and minds. Without the constant support from the staff at CBC and our parents, I know that I never would have made it to the position I am in today. I am sure Cathy Freeman has the same sentiments for her own coaches and family.

Along our separate journeys, we have shared some special moments together, just as Cathy did with the rest of Australia on her way to the 400m final. From the amazing experience of the variety of tours and immersions, to the joy of chanting the Edmund Rice song after sporting events, to stressful periods of exams and the cramming that takes place the night before with the common message received ‘Oi can you send me a picture of your maths notes please’, to The Rite Journey that holds a special place in each of our hearts, the lesson we learnt on how to be good man will never be forgotten. I know each class has its own fond memories, but for my class it was the long 15km trek that brought us together and somehow became fun due to Mr Correia’s ridiculous riddles, “This is how you bounce a stick” (those that were in my class will know what I mean). These memories are only some of the many highlights that we have all shared together and will reflect on and laugh at for the rest of our lives.

Gentlemen, we are in the starting blocks ready to run the 400m. Just like Cathy, we have put in the hard work over all these years of schooling and are finally ready to tackle the real world. As Cathy prepared and dedicated hours of her life to the final race, we are just about to begin the 400m towards our final destination. It only feels like yesterday that we, as a cohort were walking through those Gym doors for the very first time in 2013 as nervous, innocent little Year 7 boys. Now look around the room and see how much we have matured and grown as individuals and as a cohort.

Gentlemen, our moment has arrived, our chance for gold awaits us, do not let our hard work go to waste and make every opportunity count. Most of all ensure that when we succeed we never forget the roots of our success.

Just as Cathy Freeman made Australia proud by winning the 400m during 2000 Olympics, it is now our time to go into the world and make our school proud.

symbols of our journey YEAR 12 GRADUATION ADDRESS MICHAEL PALMIOTTI

F

irst off, I would like to thank Mr Correia for providing me with the opportunity to deliver this speech at graduation.

I was pretty close to asking him if he was sure that he was asking the right person. Public speaking has never really been my thing, yet I hesitantly agreed because I was flattered that he thought I could do it, so here I am now, standing in front of you all on this special evening.

Coming to CBC was pretty daunting because we were coming from the highest grade in primary school and now we were nothing again. Even though I was six foot tall in Year 7, I swear all the Year 11 and 12 students looked as if they were 30 year old men with beards. But when I look around today I still see a couple of baby faces in the crowd.

Sitting at a desk in a classroom was never really my thing.

I didn’t like feeling trapped in a room and being forced to do work. Inevitably, I sat there and didn’t do what I was supposed to do. One of my fondest memories from when I was a little kid was during playtime in pre-kindy when I went to the fence in the far corner of the playground that had a sand pit connected to it and tried to dig my way out.

So from that example you can tell I never really liked school from the start.

Up until Year 9 I was a fairly average kid. I had a fairly average family and I was getting fairly average grades. Early on in Year 9 my parents split up and it flipped my whole life upside down. As a result of this I kind of lost my way and started doing things that were not in my character. What I was doing was not what I had been taught inside and outside of school.

My parents had their own struggles, which also affected my sister and me. It wasn’t all bad; it gave us the opportunity to build our own independence. We learned how to cope with things at an age where teenagers are at their most

162

CBC jOURNEY 2018

vulnerable. Luckily at this time, I had started the Rite Journey process. Throughout my time at CBC, the Rite Journey played a big role in my development. It changed my view and my perception of the world, my family, my friendships and especially, how I viewed myself. It taught me things that have become invaluable to me today like respect, honesty and self-worth. It gave me the building blocks to be a better man.

When Mr Correia asked me to deliver this speech, he asked me to choose a symbol that summed up my high school journey. I didn’t really know what that meant but after juggling with a few ideas I came up with the ocean. The ocean is a place that is full of unknown elements.It can be dangerous and endless, with days of high seas, but also days of serenity and a place for reflection. That’s how I felt for most of my school days.

As young adults making our way through the world we unknowingly get mixed up with the wrong crowd. I strayed away from my morals and hid issues I had going on because I thought that I had to be a man about life and show no weakness. As a result of this, I grew up fairly quickly and was told by a lot of parents that I was very mature and seemed like I had it all together. I didn’t feel like this though. I felt very out of place and lost in life and couldn’t figure out how to change that feeling. I was like a swan in the water -- on the surface a swan appears calm and sure of itself but out of view its feet are furiously paddling to keep it moving. I felt like that swan.

For the first few years the schools morals and teachings were unclear to me. In the years that followed, a few teachers such as Mr Hunter, Mr Correia, Mr Butcher and Mr Burgio helped me to find my way and guided me to become

the man I am today. During the Rite Journey, I began to understand that the College was not trying to control me but was trying to help me. I would like to personally thank those gentlemen for helping me through school; there’s no way you could be forgotten.

By the end of Year 10 and start of Year 11 I slowly began to figure out what I wanted out of life and out of CBC. Coming to school, learning and being able to play basketball every day with the boys who I had grown up with, and who are still here with me today, gave us a certain dependence and bond with one another. At that point in my life, I started to feel as if I belonged. Those boys I now see as my brothers.

I began to open up to people about my life. I started to share with others things that I swore to myself I would never tell another living soul. In doing so I realised it takes more of a man to reach out and be open to expressing your emotions than it does to bottle things up and hide behind a false sense of security and a fake identity.

I feel as if it wasn’t for CBC, and the mentors it has given me, I would not be the man I am today. I no longer fear the ocean, I no longer see the dangers, but I embrace the opportunities it provides. Unfortunately, our school journey at CBC has come to an end, but what the school has given us remains and is constant. As one chapter of our life ends another one begins; just like the ocean, our future has no horizon.

I am grateful for everyone who has helped me though this journey and shaped me to become the gentleman I am today, and one day, just like the waves in the ocean returning to shore, as Old Boys I hope we have the opportunity to return, to sit here as fathers and watch our sons become CBC gentlemen.

he highlight on the Year 12 social calendar was an evening to remember, with more than 100 young men and their partners dancing the night away at Fremantle’s iconic Esplanade Hotel.

spinning some of the year's hottest tracks mixed in with some old favourites.

Ben opened the evening, speaking of the significance of community in the journey of tomorrow’s gentlemen, before Vice-Captain Preston Hinton led a prayer.

Two ballroom dancing sets gave the young adults a chance to show off the skills they had been polishing for weeks, with only a little help from teachers, Ms Emily Bowran and Ms Keely Laing.

The Southern Cross Ballroom was dotted with red – the colour of choice for the ladies this year – as a delicious buffet dinner and desserts were served. It wasn't long before the dance floor was the place to be, with the DJ

The College Ball is an important milestone for CBC's gentlemen, providing the gentlemen of CBC with the opportunity to demonstrate and develop positive relationships with their friends and guests.
