FOREWORD

A CATHOLIC SCHOOL IN THE EDMUND RICE TRADITION DR WAYNE TINSEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR − EDMUND RICE EDUCATION AUSTRALIA

It is a great privilege to be able to offer a few words to your community in this very special publication.

On behalf of the Christian Brothers and the whole of Edmund Rice Education Australia, I congratulate you on your efforts to embody the highest ideals of Catholic education in the Edmund Rice tradition.

Our Gospel teaches that it is possible to find meaning and purpose in what can at times be a bleak and painful human existence. It diverges from the message of many of our dominant cultures by saying that the focus of this meaningful existence lies outside of our individual needs and concerns. It teaches that life is most meaningful when it is lived for others; that purpose in life is most profoundly experienced through contribution to the common good.

Christians cannot be distinguished from the rest of the human race by country or language or customs.

We don’t normally live in cities of our own; we do not use a particular form of speech; we do not normally follow an eccentric manner of life. Rather, we are known by the way we live; by the way that we reveal to the world the God of love enshrined in our hearts. As St Francis of Assisi once said: “We preach the Gospel always; sometimes using words!”

Your school uses the lens of the Gospel to remind students that a successful life can arise from humble faithfulness to one’s obligations and from doing the best one can with the gifts that we are given. You remind our students that success is about being more, rather than having more; about the quality of our hearts rather than the size of our bank accounts or egos.

You encourage students to learn that a lasting happiness is closer to contentment, peace of mind and freedom from anxiety than to the always fleeting experience of physical pleasure. Lasting happiness is not achieved through ownership or consumption.

Your school helps our young to look deeply into the world’s recipe for success, happiness and wholeness and be selective and critical as to what they accept.

We offer the Gospel’s ‘counter-cultural’ vision for full humanity, as an alternative way of living.

There are so many ways in which we are proud of your school and your efforts to form happy and successful young people who will be architects of our common future.

With many congratulations and best wishes always.

MR BURGIO AT MASS ON THE FIRST DAY FOR YEAR 12 STUDENTS

P R I N C I PA L’ S G R A D UAT I O N A D D R E S S

A message of hope As I sit here in hospital writing these words, I am overcome with sadness that for the first time in 38 years, I cannot be present at the graduation ceremony of the school I teach at. As I mentioned at the assembly a couple of weeks ago, graduation events are among the most cherished on the calendar for me. There is a reason for this which is almost existential. The tradesmen who worked on the auditorium you sit in tonight had, and will ever have, tangible evidence of their work, their value, their craft and their legacy.

They can return to this site time and time again to see what they built and to take pride in its ongoing function. Teachers and the staff who partner us do not have that luxury. We can kid ourselves that it was that theorem explanation, or the inspiration of this lesson or that, and maybe it was, but the truth is that the quality of our work is not an exact science. So we look forward to these evenings, the culmination of six years in our community. We look for signs and feedback that we did do a good job, that our partnership

with the families did yield a dividend and that the beautiful young men who graduate tonight take a little piece of all of us into their future lives, and by doing that provide us the pride of practice that building this gymnasium did for the tradesman who toiled here some 20 years ago.

Graduation is a wonderful occasion, and no-one should rain on your parade. However, one of the problems I have witnessed over the years at such events is that there is a great deal of Pollyanna gazing into the future. Everyone will be successful, everyone will find joy and everyone will live happily ever after. While this is a fantastic ideal, it is not the truth.

These things will only happen if each of you commits to the values your school and parents have given you as a base and redoubles his efforts to continually reflect and improve. Graduation is base camp; it’s not Everest.

At each graduation ceremony, the keynote speaker is charged with providing some pearl of wisdom for the class to take away.

Last year I Googled valedictory speeches, and realised I’m not at the intellectual level to do that.

The only thing old people like me

can offer young people is my experience. I often remark that when Solomon was asked by the Lord what he wanted from God, he chose wisdom. It is an attribute I have always valued in others, and now I’m in my 60th year, I hope I have a little of it to share with you. So sit back for a few minutes and indulge me while I give you the world according to Dom. It may be completely irrelevant, of mild interest or might just change your life, and it will only cost you a few moments of attention, feigned or otherwise.

Class of 2019, I recently interviewed you all.

Overwhelmingly, but not universally, you seemed happy with your journey. Interestingly, what you described as the positive attributes of this school – its wonderful sense of community; its values; its staff, who you described as always being available and going the extra mile; the opportunities for academic, artistic, sporting and spiritual extension, and the brotherhood you feel with, and for, each other, was exactly what groups have described in previous years. What set me on my haunches was that, although

I N C L U S I V E

Good evening to my valued colleagues, to our special guests, to our beautiful families and a special good evening to you, the Class of 2019.

the experience seemed the same as the boys I interviewed in 2014, it did not seem to be valued as much. One boy, who I have personally helped with issues school-related and not, sullenly began to tell me that the journey had been just alright. When pressed to elaborate, he told me the school had changed and when I engaged him further all he could offer me was that we had banned mobiles this year.

That was it. That was how he saw his time at the College, by making that inconvenience the defining experience of his secondary education. Later, I caught up privately with him and reminded him of all the amazing things people had actually done for him over his time at the College, the constant advocacy for him when he had strayed.

He acknowledged all of that and ended up making some of the most gracious comments I heard during the entire process, but it wasn’t his default. His default was to only identify the problems.

I have just got back from Peru. The people there have nothing. They live in the most extreme poverty. On our visit to Fe y Allegria No 26, little Year 2 children were putting toys in my pockets to bring back to my grandchildren. We visited the homes of women who have benefitted by previous Immersions and listened to their stories. There was no anger, no sense of entitlement, no bitterness or resentment. There was just thanks and hope – thanks for our contribution and hope for their children’s future.

Importantly, hope for us, we who have it all. Why is it that in one of the best cities, in one of the best countries in the world we seem to define ourselves by what we haven’t got?

I have just returned from having an MRI at Fiona Stanley Hospital.

The staff have been amazingly helpful, friendly, compassionate and accommodating. It is modern, clean, full of every medical device known to humankind. Doctors are all around me, all day every day. I’ve had more than 100 blood tests to find out what’s wrong with me. By any standard this hospital should be the envy of the world, and yet it rates 3.1/5 in the Google reviews. I am dumbstruck.

What are peoples’ expectations if such a facility is deemed mediocre?

My message to you tonight is one of hope. You are all capable of the achievements we all want for you but just be aware! The greatest con effected on people in recent years is social media. The view that life is perfect is now prevalent culture.

And if it isn’t perfect, there are enough ads on Facebook and Instagram to point you in the right direction to buy it. You have been told you should always be happy, always be successful and can always win.

This attitude will crush you, because this attitude only highlights failure.

In 1967, my parents built a new house which was about a kilometre from my school. Each day I would have to navigate five or six dogs who would bite (often at their master’s call) make my way past a pair of brothers who were notorious bullies, suffer seven hours of anti-Italian commentary, the politest being that I was a greasy ‘ding’. I would have my lunch ridiculed, avoid my pencil rolling off my desk which would make Mr Thomas bring out the cane, and then at day’s end figure a route back home that avoided the same brothers who would stand over me in the morning. By the time I got home I felt an enormous sense of achievement. I felt victory over another day and all that it had thrown at me. I felt triumph.

Life is difficult. This is a great truth, or should be. It is a great truth because once we accept it, we can transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult, once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters. Most people fail to accept this truth, instead moaning incessantly, noisily or subtly of the enormity of their problems, their burdens and their difficulties as if life were generally easy. As if life should be easy. They voice their belief noisily or subtly that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been visited upon them or upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others.

Gentlemen of CBC, life is a series of problems. Will you be the one to moan about them, or the one to solve and overcome them? The great moments of joy in your life only have meaning when they are juxtaposed with the challenges. At this school we believe that an advantage you have is your committed and steadfast parents and loved ones. Never take them for granted. Hold your loved one’s hand and look into their eyes.

These are the people you should devote your lives to, these and other members of your family. The great tragedy of this week’s events on a Melbourne tram, where a large number of schoolboys presented derogatory behavior in front of members of the public, is that those boys reflected neither the values of their parents nor their school. They succumbed to a rabble mentality that caused shame to their parents and I can only imagine how soul-destroyed the staff at their school must feel.

Devote your lives to ensuring you do neither; seek to bring pride and joy into your loved ones’ lives.

The College has supported your parents’ values by maintaining focus on five attributes that will help you in all situations. Base your decisions on Gospel Values; always give of your best; don’t make excuses like so many people do; own your behaviour; put others at the centre of your life, being especially respectful of women, and finally learn from ‘the stranger’ – the person who doesn’t think or look like you.

This is wisdom.

I mentioned the CBC tapestry at your farewell assembly. I mentioned that you are now an integral part of our history. The only thing I would ever want as a Principal is that every member of the community I lead feels loved, supported and challenged. I conclude this speech hoping that is how you have felt because it is how all the staff feel about you. We are all immensely proud of you, and look forward to your bright futures with positive anticipation. You are, and will always be, a part of us. We love you.

God Bless you.

Academics form such an important part of the journey at CBC Fremantle. Our young men use their God-given talents to excel, but have also had to endure many challenges to find success in their fields. They have taken advantage of the resources available to them – dedicated staff willing to go the extra mile, supportive families who nurture and inspire them on their journey and modern facilities to allow them to engage with contemporary learning practices.

These facilities will be further enhanced with impending capital works including the building of a lecture theatre, new flexible learning spaces and many other initiatives over the next few years.

012

However, many schools are capable of providing the ingredients for their students to achieve academic success. What makes CBC so unique, and is part of our identity as a school in the Edmund Rice tradition, is that our young men can use their time at this College to experience a liberating education. They are encouraged to critically reflect on their learning and experiences in order to create a better future for everyone. To do this is somewhat counter-cultural as we live in a society that increasingly encourages us to measure ourselves on the size of our pay cheques, the location of our houses, and the exoticness of our next holiday. The call to work is not of vocation, but of necessity to fill our short-term desires.

At CBC Fremantle I believe the experience of a liberating education challenges our students to ‘dare to be different’ and I am filled with hope that we have young men capable of joining the ranks of some of the world’s most inspiring people. People like Greta Thunberg, who has smashed stereotypes about her medical conditions, calling Asperger Syndrome her ‘superpower’.

She has brought much needed attention to the Climate Change issue and remained steadfast and strong in her beliefs. Or perhaps we have the next Steve Waugh, who was inspired after meeting Mother Teresa and used his sporting profile and leadership abilities to advocate for the rights

“ The personal successes we are striving for will be more easily achieved if we are there for each other.”

At CBC, we don’t just celebrate the achievement of academic success, as important as that is.

We celebrate the possibilities that lay before our young men.

We applaud their ability to engage with their studies, but challenge them to be more and to make a difference in our society. To be Christ-centred throughout their life journey, and to be inspired by the charism of Edmund Rice by seeking to make a difference in the world. By striving to do their best and accepting challenges, while putting others first and daring to be different, our young boys will truly become tomorrow’s gentlemen.

I urge the Class of 2019 to use your gifts and talents and control your destiny.

Be brave and be daring with your learning. Let wonder and awe inspire curiosity in your quest for knowledge, and never be afraid to fail – for through failure we truly learn about ourselves, and provide a future platform for success. As one of the world’s greatest minds, Albert Einstein, once said, “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”

These are incredible people who did, or are doing, life-changing things to make the world a better place. But maybe you’re thinking that they are a long way from your context, from your culture, from your home. Maybe I should focus on others, so how about Ayden Doohan, CBC Fremantle graduate from the Class of 2012. He is currently the executive director of On My Feet, an organisation that develops running programmes aimed at improving the lives of people experiencing homelessness.

This initiative provides participants with opportunities to develop friendships, establish routines,

build confidence and create invaluable connection with employers and educational programmes. Why does Ayden dedicate more than 20 hours a week to this volunteer role? The reason is probably best explained by an excerpt from his 2012 address to the ACC Athletics team: “The personal successes we are striving for will be more easily achieved if we are there for each other.” This is just one of hundreds of examples that I could have used to highlight how CBC graduates are using their liberating education to make a difference to others.

of marginalised children. Or maybe a young man is sitting in our classrooms who will follow the lead of Rosa Parks, the incredible civil rights activist who truly embraced the ideal of an inclusive community after famously refusing to give up her seat on the bus.

MR GARY BAILEY DEPUTY PRINCIPAL − PASTORAL CARE

014

As we reach the end of the year it is always good to take time to reflect on what has been and what is still to come within the College. Once again, a major focus this year has been the continued integration of the 2019 Year 7 cohort into the school, along with the other boys who joined the College during the year.

make the most of every situation.

The approach also encourages them to think and act on behalf of others and recognise and value the ‘other’ in their lives, which reflects developing characteristics of tomorrow’s gentleman. At CBC it is our aim that all of the boys have the ability to deal with life’s challenges as well as its joys.

A key element of Pastoral Care at CBC is developing a stronger feeling of belonging and building connections with other students and staff. We have strived to assist these boys to build relationships, resilience and respect in all aspects of CBC life.

The benefits of this approach are seen in how these young men are dealing with difficulties and the disappointments they encounter in life and showing how they can

Looking strategically to the next few years, the Pastoral Care team will continue to work with the three core values that we feel are the foundations of all we want to achieve – the 3 Rs: • Resilience (perseverance, self-motivation) • Relationships (staff, students and family) • Respect (for others, self and the environment both at the College and beyond)

This year CBC once again celebrated Mental Health Week.

With guidance from Mr Leech, a team of boys organised events throughout the week, including inter-house sports programmes, a variety of activities in the Cloisters at recess and lunch, displays by Headspace and ‘bring a dog to school’ sessions. The pinnacle of the event was the parent and son walk through Fremantle with around 300 members of our community showing their commitment to understanding the issues of mental health by taking part in a colourful parade through town before gathering for breakfast back at the College.

We not only strived to put student wellbeing at the core of what we do but we also aimed to tackle a critical element of the CBC community and that is the wellbeing of the staff. On one of our Wellness Wednesdays we invited two masseurs to the College to provide relaxing massages in between classes to highlight the importance of balancing work and relaxation. Staff were also offered the chance to take part in a Pilates class and treated to a healthy morning tea provided by the Pastoral team.

The ultimate goal of our endeavours is to ensure that our community appreciates the importance of mental health and continues to have open and honest conversations that destigmatise the issues that affect many people on a daily basis. We do this for the common good of our people, our boys and our world. Looking out for one another begins in our own hearts and minds and we will continue to explore ways to provide our people with tools to experience fulfilled and happy lives.

“ The ultimate goal of our endeavours is to ensure that our community appreciates the importance of mental health...”

Learning should be fun MR SCOTT MCDONNELL DEPUTY PRINCIPAL − TEACHING AND LEARNING

Throughout the year, I have gone home each afternoon and said hello to my three children. As happens every afternoon, my children endeavour to tell me about their day and about all the awesome things that they did.

In particular, my three-year-old daughter, Ella, always comes running up to me with a look of pure excitement followed by an explosion of words explaining what happened during the day.

Over the course of the year she was able to talk with increasing clarity and articulate more about the things that she found engaging. In response, I always asked how she went, did she enjoy it and, most importantly, did she have fun?

When I met with Kabir Bajwa, Blake Prince and Riley Woods to chat about their participation in the World Scholars’ Cup held

016

at Yale University in the USA, I was surprised as I saw the same level of pure excitement similar to my daughter. During our discussion, Kabir stated that the most important aspect of the trip was that he learnt that learning can be fun, and this was confirmed by Blake and Riley.

Throughout 2019, the Academic Board has completed research and implemented a range of strategies to assist students in their learning. In particular, we explored how to teach students study strategies from Years 7 to 12, we have introduced an academic mentoring programme for all Year 11 and 12 boys and we have introduced the concept of academic behaviours as a method to improve every boy’s performance. In 2020, we intend to improve on how we implement these initiatives – but we must reflect that learning should be fun for our boys.

We can learn a great deal from our student voice and we will keep striving

for academic improvement, but we must continue to ground ourselves and keep the fun in learning.

It has been a pleasure to work with a variety of staff, students and parents in my first year at CBC Fremantle.

Everyone has been welcoming and supportive and this is a credit to our inclusive and collaborative community.

I would like to thank the Heads of Learning Areas and other key staff who make up the Academic Board.

Their dedication and collegial approach working with CBC staff, cohorts and individual students to achieve their personal best is exceptional.

I would also like to thank the Class of 2019 for their efforts this year and wish them well for the future.

BOARD REPORT

Serving our community MR GREG BRUCE CHAIR OF THE CBC FREMANTLE BOARD

Thanks to our Prime Minister, the term ‘quiet Australians’ entered the political lexicon this year, which I believe is akin to other well-used terms including hardworking Australians, silent majority, battlers, mums and dads or mainstream Australians. When reflecting on the term, I can very easily relate this to the CBC community: those parents, carers, mentors, volunteers, teachers, staff and so many others who quietly go about supporting, encouraging, helping, giving, counselling, coaching and just ‘being there’ for the students.

Without these unsung heroes, these people who just get on with it, not seeking recognition, reward or acknowledgement, then most certainly CBC Fremantle would be a mere shadow of what it is today.

On behalf of the Board I thank those numerous quiet Australians in our CBC community. Your dedication, hard work, loyalty, perseverance and commitment is appreciated and highly valued.

018

This year we welcomed onto the College Board three new members. Joining us is Kristina Waters, whose family connections with CBC go back over many years and more recently through her four sons attending CBC. We are also pleased to welcome Vice Principal Neil Alweyn as an ex-officio member and CBC Old Boy Tony Tomba; each brings significant skills and knowledge to add to our team. Other Board members are Tim Allan, Gia Burd, Bernard Cronin, Angie Emanuele, Kelly Medin and Mauri Mucciacciaro. Also, we acknowledge the contributions of both Principal Domenic Burgio and Business Manager Tony Pitos, which are invaluable and provide significant insight into the day-to-day operations of the College.

The Board is grateful for the opportunity and privilege to serve the College and wider CBC community.

We trust and pray that our effort, counsel and oversight continue to benefit the College in the coming year and well into the future.

BUSINESS REPORT

FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY MR TONY PITOS BUSINESS MANAGER

Comparisons between actual revenue and expense to budget expectations through variance analysis provides a measure of control that allows an identification of savings or expenditure greater than budgeted.

State and Federal Government Grants, Tuition Fees and Facilities Income 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.

Because of the shortfall in grant funds, Tuition Fees are vital to the operation of the College as these provide the fiscal capacity to debt service loans and provide funds to enable the general operations of the College.

In 2018, tuition fees and charges were necessarily increased by 2% due to continuing financial pressures on the College, including increases in teaching salaries and other general expenses.

As mentioned in my report in 2017, pressure continues to be placed on this revenue stream as the future of grant income is becoming more uncertain due to the government funding model.

This year a survey to households of students at CBC was conducted as part of a national survey to further determine capacity of households to subsidise government grant funding.

This data collection will be used to provide further insight in determining

Expenditure within the College is identified to three main areas: Salaries and Wages, Debt Servicing and Operations and Maintenance expenses.

Salaries and Wages are the largest cost area with teaching salaries the most significant component. Other expenditure relevant to the efficient operation of the College includes that related to utilities and maintenance, and professional development of staff.

With government funding now not meeting the cost of wages and salaries the collection of tuition fees is paramount. The importance of the timely receipt of fees can’t be emphasised enough. These funds enable CBC to continue to develop both the physical environment and also the many other resources needed to keep the College abreast of new developments in education and provide the optimum in pedagogy.

To elaborate, there is a continued reliance on receiving Tuition fees in the academic year of billing due to movements in the pattern and level of government funding. This is made imperative by the new funding model due for renewal in 2018 for the next four years still not being ratified. Should the model of funding be changed due to upward trends in data collected in the ICSEA survey, as mentioned previously, then there will be a need for fee increases 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 administration. Continued measurement and control in areas of expenditure means that CBC will remain an affordable College with fees and charges significantly lower than other metropolitan boys’ schools.

The College continues the student laptop one-to-one programme and maintains two computer laboratories with desktop computers for more sophisticated software programs in Technologies and the Music Room. The Laptop Centre continues to provide necessary repairs and generally service the computer programme in the College.

Continual auditing of the current environment and implementation of up-to-date software plus the latest hardware ensures that CBC remains at the forefront of technology.

As part of the College’s Strategic Plan, capital development has been significant, with the purchase of a property at 162 High Street and rezoning and plans for a new facility to complement the campus underway. Looking to the future, the College continues to review the physical environment and improve the amenity for strong pedagogy and sound educational outcomes for our students.

2019 BUDGET RECURRENT I N C O M E $ 1 7.4 M GRANTS 51% FEES 45% FACILITIES 4%

2019 BUDGET RECURRENT E XPE N D ITU R E $ 1 7.1 M OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE 26% SALARIES & WAGES 71% RECURRENT DEBT SERVICING 3%

C O M M U N I T Y

The forecasts allow for different factors, such as student population and other data relating to anticipated revenue and costs, providing a gauge for stewardship of the College into the future.

the Index of Community SocioEducational Advantage (ICSEA) of the College. If this demographic data demonstrates an increased financial capacity of families in the CBC student catchment area then this will have the effect of reducing the level of federal and state funding. Formulas for the calculation of funding are influenced by the ICSEA level and an increase has the effect of reducing Government Funding allocations.

I N C L U S I V E

The formulation of the annual operating budget provides the framework to determine the fiscal capacity of CBC Fremantle in order to accommodate the efficient delivery of education and satisfies the requirements of the Strategic Plan. The completion of a three year budget provides insight into future economic and demographic changes that may influence the sustainability of the College.

Sharing a legacy ALEXANDER BUCKLAND COLLEGE CAPTAIN

It is with regret that Mr Burgio cannot be here at our Graduation tonight, and we wish him all the best for a speedy recovery. However, I did notice that we are running somewhat ahead of schedule tonight – whether that be through the absence of his wonderful, albeit lengthy speeches, or something else at hand, I’ll leave that judgement up to you.

When I sat down last weekend, and yes it was only last weekend that I remembered I had a speech to write, I wasn’t too sure what I was going to say tonight. I considered pulling a Peter Hudson and making it up on the spot, but that idea flew out the window as quickly as GWS flew out of this year’s Grand Final. Of course I could gain inspiration from Ben and my combined speech from last term, but you’ve all already heard that. Then I briefly considered talking about the challenges we’ve faced, the multiple tests, assignments and exams over the years but I stopped myself short when I realised that I wanted this speech to be a celebration of our achievements, a celebration of this community and a celebration of our time here at this College.

020

Tonight represents the start of the next phase in our lives. We are no longer the scared, shy Year 7 students who walked through those back doors, not knowing which classroom to go to, who to talk to or where to sit at recess and lunch. As you can probably see from the pictures shown tonight we have all definitely changed … a lot. We’ve matured from the boys who entered those doors in 2014 into young men – young gentlemen about to shape their destiny. Young gentlemen about to go to university, take on apprenticeships, move out of

home, and start families. And even though we may cease to be related to CBC in a physical way, I know we will all cherish the hundreds of memories we have of this incredible school.

I know we will cherish the Swimming carnivals, the Athletics days, and everyone’s favourite … the Cross Country. I know we will cherish the day-to-day moments of laughter with our mates. I know we will continue to cherish the community that made us feel so welcome; made us feel so at home.

It is this community that makes CBC so unique. From the simple things, such as showing the Year 7 boys the ropes before absolutely obliterating them at chess during mentor, to the highlights of our school calendar – the Opening Mass and Eddie Rice Day to name a few. We experienced the Rite Journey in Year 9, made famous for the days spent in Bindoon bonding with newfound mates and reflecting on our hopes and plans for the future – all the time begging Mr Silveira for one of his glorious renditions of Go Down Moses – before returning to our families as young gentlemen in the Homecoming Ceremony. Many of us were fortunate enough to connect with Christian Brothers’ communities internationally through various tours and immersions made available by the College, eyeopening experiences that brought to our attention the spirit of Christ that is present in everybody everywhere.

And how could we forget the Edmund Rice anthem; one of the great symbols of the College. While in years to come we may forget what was in those English texts we all definitely read, and will on occasion lose the game, we will never forget the amazing community this College is; the community made up

of all the staff, parents, and you, the Class of 2019. Perhaps the most devoted of all members of the community are the teachers and support staff. Thank you for putting up with the endless dumb questions, ridiculous homework excuses, and assignments that somehow managed to delete themselves.

Over time we began to recognise that you truly are the best teachers in the world and how blessed we are to have you. You treat us as individuals, as adults, and are willing to do almost anything to help us in any way possible. I remember the countless emails I have sent past 9 o’clock on a Saturday night, only to receive a highly detailed response no later than the following morning, most of the time sent that same night. I feel that we have all begun to realise how much of a gift you are to all the students here, especially in the past year when we have grown closer and formed relationships that can only be described as ones of absolute admiration for the role models you are. From Mr Binet devising projectile motion experiments involving the launching of annoying Year 7 boys off the Student Services building, to Mrs Faichney giving all the 18 yearolds in the class advice when going to the casino, I’m certain I speak on behalf of the cohort when I say that, although this year has been challenging, it has been the most enjoyable. We shall be eternally grateful for the time you have devoted to us and will continue to devote to future CBC gentlemen.

School is temporary, gentlemen. You may have realised that last term, or it may only hit home tonight, but there are so many things about this College that will stick with us for the rest of our lives. We will remember the banter, the fun times, between students and teachers alike. We will remember this community, and know that we will be embraced back into it whenever we need. And we will remember what it is to be a CBC gentleman, and how to live out the values and attitudes instilled in us since our very first day here.

Gentlemen, we will change the world.

A bold claim I know, but we have already changed the worlds of so many others around us – our parents, our teachers and each other. I know we will continue to change the world around

us as we travel along our separate paths because that is what a CBC graduate does. I know this because you are the best people I have ever known, the greatest people mentored by the greatest teachers and raised by the greatest parents. The future for everyone here is unfathomably bright, and while we may lose contact with each other, I can’t wait to bump into one of you at Coles and have a conversation and reignite that brotherhood that we so fondly share.

I could not tell you how honoured I am to stand up here and represent you all. Although it pains me to say it, I’d like to end my speech the same way I ended my first speech in front of you all just over a year ago in the ALA, with a cliché, a quote. You may remember, and I’m banking on a lot here, but you may remember I quoted the great Martin Luther King Jr: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘what are you doing for others?’”

I need not ask what you have done for others, for you have changed lives, through tours, Immersions, service, and mateships, you have changed lives.

Gentlemen, I will never forget this stage of my lifetime. I have loved every single second of it and only have you and this wonderful community to thank. As a mate, your CBC brother, I want to wish you all the best for the future, although I know you will not need it.

Thank you for the greatest six years of my life.

“ I know we will continue to change the world around us as we travel along our separate paths because that is what a CBC graduate does.”

C O M M U N I T Y

Boys, gents, it’s been one crazy year but it’s been the best year of my life. Almost six years ago we came to this school, some of us with a couple of mates, many of us with none. However, tonight, unlike our first day back in 2014, we leave

with 123 best mates – brothers.

We have become a brotherhood that forms the foundations of this community; a brotherhood built through seemingly endless classes of Maths, Science, English, Religion and HASS; a brotherhood built through the Rite Journey, Edmund Rice days, and Athletics carnivals. Gentlemen, I want to thank you for the jokes, and for the arguments; for the stupid conversations, and for the genuine ones. Whether we like it or not, we have all shaped and moulded each other. We have changed lives and we have developed this cohort into the success it is today.

I N C L U S I V E

Mum, Dad, to all the parents, I’m sure that you have already received the thanks you well and truly deserve. I know that for much of these past six years we have taken your constant dedication to our education for granted, but now that it’s over, we will appreciate it for evermore. While it may not seem like we are grateful at times, often limiting ourselves to one-word discussions before retreating to our rooms to, well, procrastinate more than study, the pride you feel for your sons tonight is dwarfed by the gratitude they feel for you. Dads, you are who we aspire to be, and while it may be weird to hear this, you have been our fundamental role model and you are the man we one day hope to emulate. Mums, if I were to list all the things you do for us on a daily basis we’d be here until midnight, so I’d instead like to thank you for each and every one of them. Your little boy will always be your little boy, and I’m sure we will gladly accept your invitation to come around for dinner after six consecutive nights of two-minute noodles. Mum, Dad, the sacrifices you have made, the unconditional love you have shown, it will never be forgotten, and we hope we’ve made you proud.

THE CBC JOURNEY

FROM TODAY’S BOYS TO TOMORROW’S GENTLEMEN MR MICHAEL PICKFORD DIRECTOR OF STUDENT LEADERSHIP

CH OOS ING CBC

The Class of 2024 commenced their journey on 4 February by being greeted with the traditional Year 12 guard of honour. The new boys were introduced to their student leaders, College Captain Alexander Buckland and Vice Captain Benjamin Lye, before meeting their senior year buddies who showed them around the campus and shared tips. The friendly and fun day included writing some rousing House chants as the boys made new friends and became acquainted with their Mentor teachers.

O PENING MAS S

It was a special Opening Mass this year, with the blessing of the new bronze sculpture of Edmund Rice and the Touchstones mosaic that were produced by local artists, Greg James and Jenny Dawson. These aesthetic additions to the Cloisters pay homage to the charism of our founder and capture the history and tradition of his legacy. Eight 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 Alexander Buckland, Anthony Cutri, Bradley Dowie, Benjamin Fitzpatrick, Lachlan Gleeson, Peter Hudson, Timothy McClelland and Finlay Vogler. Tyler Firth, Peter Hudson, Tristan Jensen and Vincent Robertson were Altar Servers during this special Mass, with College Principal Mr Domenic Burgio serving as Acolyte and Father John Sebastian as our celebrant.

The Parent Auxiliary is passionate about their annual event, which invites Year 7 dads and sons to share some special hours walking along the Swan River. Gathering at Point Walter, the boys, old and young, wandered along the stretch of water to Bicton Quarantine Park, where they heard from Duncan Faulds, the father of 2016 College Captain, Riley. The stalwart supporter of Share the Journey spoke about the time that the fears and hopes he carried for his son were made all the more poignant when he thought he had lost him during a health scare a few years previously. Afterwards, the group walked back to the Point, where they listened to Riley’s perspective before the dads spent a precious few moments affirming their love and support for their sons. The morning was wrapped up with a sausage sizzle prepared by the Parent Auxiliary and Year 12 leaders.

TH E R I TE JO U R N E Y

In Week 3 of the first term, Year 9 students and their families gathered at Monument Hill to celebrate the launch of The Rite Journey (TRJ) programme with The Calling and Departure ceremony. With their parents by their side, the boys were asked to look back on their childhood with appreciation and gratitude for their support as they embark on the next step of their journey to adulthood. During the year the boys participated in challenges and activities designed to increase their selfconfidence and address issues pertinent to adolescent boys. Parents were invited to participate in some activities too, with classes engaged in the ‘Challenge Accepted’ programme, inviting mums and dads to an evening in the circle to enjoy a little taste of TRJ discussions, Mr Stockton’s group made chopping boards with their dads in the wood workshops.

Formal dancing lessons with their peers from Iona Presentation College was also a part of the journey of discovery and the Year 9 Social provided an opportunity to showcase their skills, as well as let their hair down with music provided by Old Boy Matt Burd. A few days later, the young men hosted their mums at the inaugural Mother and Son Dinner Dance, which included a buffet meal followed by a formal dancing set. Delighted smiles were on the faces of mums and boys alike and the evening was a highlight of our TRJ calendar.

The Abyss hike and solo camping experience at Bindoon was a highlight of the TRJ year, followed by The Homecoming ceremony in November, which provided an opportunity for the community to honour the young men – an important aspect of the rites of passage process. The boys were congratulated by their teacher and presented with a letter of love and affirmation from their parents before a short celebratory Liturgy overlooking the Swan River at Point Walter.

C O M M U N I T Y

But, The Rite Journey is not the ‘be all and end all’ of the journey towards becoming an adult at CBC. The transition is a slow-burn and this programme, as powerful and persuasive as it is towards a successful future, is only part of the whole story. From Year 7 through to Year 12, CBC students are engaged in activities that all contribute to the development of a good young man. It is the CBC journey.

SH A R E TH E JO U R N E Y

I N C L U S I V E

Almost without fail, our graduates cite The Rite Journey in Year 9 as the fondest memory of their time at CBC, and the flies, the heat, the time camping alone and the arduous hike with their pack at Bindoon as the highlights of this programme. The difficulty of the experience – that it’s not a walk in the park – results in a deep sense of individual achievement that honours the transition from child to adult. It is a momentous occasion, a rite of passage, that deserves to be acknowledged and applauded.

Choosing subjects for their senior years at school can be a daunting challenge for Year 10 students. They engaged in honest evaluation and set future goals in their course of study, aiming to be in the best possible position to launch into the next phase of their journey after graduation. Guidance from Learning Area teachers and the Careers Counsellor for their academic and vocational pathways was also complemented with the Year 10 Retreat to provide the young men with a chance to reflect on their spiritual and personal growth.

T H E S ER VAN T L E ADE R

There were 46 Prefects in 2019, led by Alexander Buckland and Benjamin Lye. The Year 12 leaders were untiring in their commitment to supporting many College activities and applied themselves to their duties with humour, grace and intelligence.

Tours and other activities. Out in the community the boys were busy helping at the Red Cross Soup Patrol, Good Start Breakfast, City to Surf and St Patrick’s Community Support Centre. Students collected donations for hampers for St Pat’s clients and worked in the hot sun setting up for the Long Table dinner that raises funds for the centre. They were wonderful ambassadors for the school, highlighting the EREA Touchstone of Inclusive Community.

G R A D UATI O N

On the last day of Term 3, the Class of 2019 was farewelled with a traditional Year 7 guard of honour to acknowledge their transition from today’s boys into tomorrow’s gentlemen. The graduands gathered with their families and friends for the final Mass wearing their green blazer in St Patrick’s Basilica, before celebrating the CBC journey with an official ceremony in the College gymnasium. The traditional procession of symbols to the altar at the Basilica was performed by Bradley Dowie, Zachary Dixon, Daniel Leavy, Joshua HarrisWalker, Joshua Jackson, Daniel Leavy, Benjamin Lye, Kye MitchellBathgate, Dylan Mulcahy and

Daniel Page. House flags were carried by Matthew Gaschk, Lachlan Gleeson, Timothy Hall, Lachlan McManus, Adriano Sgro and Hayden Symington.

At the Graduation ceremony, special performances included Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline featuring Timothy McClelland on vocals, supported by musicians Alexander Buckland, Sebastian Everett, Matthew Gaschk, Lachlan Legge, Patrick McClelland, Dylan Mulcahy and Jason Quintiliani, followed by Matthew Gaschk playing Minor Detail by Joe Pass on guitar. Pryce Gordon and Daniel Page spoke of the symbols on their journey, with Pryce choosing a torch to represent the light that shone in him and Daniel selecting the CBC tie to reflect on the commitment of his years at the College.

Finally Alexander Buckland delivered his last speech as Captain of the College, speaking of the values and brotherhood that will always be a part of the CBC gentleman.

OLD BOYS’ ASSOCIATION REPORT

Tomorrow’s gentlemen MR TERRY IANNELLO OAM (’59) OLD BOYS’ ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT

In so many ways that is why the senior Old Boys remain so connected with our school, because we see the seed that was planted and we know that the tradition of growing good young men is thriving at CBC Fremantle. It looks different – the Cloisters was not much more than rubble and weeds in my day – but the values of the school remain unaltered even after all these years.

This is such a comforting fact!

When I meet my old school mates (we still get together for a coffee regularly would you believe?); when I step on campus; when a young fellow is serving me in the supermarket whose respectful demeanour gives away the fact that he is a CBC student; when

With this in mind, the Old Boys are proud to continue to fund the James McGowan Bursary for a student in financial need. Each year a young man graduates from CBC armed with an excellent start in life thanks to this bursary and we are grateful for the Old Boys’ subscriptions for allowing us to maintain this tradition.

One of the special events that the Old Boys’ Association hosts that truly captures the essence of the goodness at the heart of the values of our school is the annual Alumni Awards. This wonderful evening celebrates the remarkable achievements of our CBC brothers and this year we congratulated Ayden Doohan (’12), Nick Jenkins (’91) and Aldo Mendolia (’80) for their commitment to making the world a better place.

At the beginning of the year the Old Boys’ Association presented their annual award to the young man with the highest ATAR in 2018. Zachary Harris received

this honour and it was my pleasure to attend the College assembly to present him with his certificate and a small token to acknowledge his commitment to excellence.

We also welcomed our newest Old Boys at the Year 13 breakfast hosted by the College prior to the assembly. It was a wonderful opportunity to have an informal chat with the young men and be a part of the excitement and enthusiasm of their return to the school they only recently left. We wish them well and look forward to seeing them again at our future events.

Later in the year, the Over 60s’ Morning Tea in the College staffroom attracted around 100 Old Boys and friends. This special event is sponsored by Old Boy John Hughes (’52) and is a highlight on our calendar.

The Old Boys’ Association also hosted reunions for the Classes of 1999, 2009 and 2014, which were wonderful evenings spent sharing memories and catching up with news.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Old Boys’ Association committee members for their help and support throughout the year. They are George Ayres (’50), Des Baccini (‘53), Frank Leguna (‘66), Frank Lo Presti (’76), Kevin O’Brien (’49), John Parker (‘48), Phil Taranto (‘65) and Graham Taylor (’77).

C O M M U N I T Y

Sure, it was wonderful to be a young boy growing up in the Fremantle of my youth but we mustn’t forget the hardship along the way, and I see that the youth of today have it a lot easier because of the advances in our society.

I don’t begrudge this because in fact I feel as this is exactly what all the sacrifice was for. In effect, my generation wanted to build a better world so our children could do good things, and we see that tradition continuing.

I hear that an Old Boy was taken under the wing of a Christian Brother when he was in hospital in Peru, my heart swells with pride that our small school is connected to bigger and better things. We are not only a part of the Edmund Rice global network, but we are also a part of the Catholic faith and follow the teachings of the most gracious and loving person who ever existed.

I N C L U S I V E

There are some benefits to growing old! One of them is that we can view long-term changes with a real appreciation of the benefits they bring.

HITTING THE RIGHT NOTE MR STEPHEN EVERETT PRESIDENT

Despite some rather humorous conjecture, the MPG is not the parent equivalent of the Jazz Orchestra, although I’m sure there is some musical talent amongst us. What we are is a hard working group of enthusiastic parents who help Mr Shane Mancuso to coordinate the various Music events during the year and importantly take the opportunity to raise funds at these activities.

The events just wouldn’t function without these committed people, so special thanks to our Vice President Tanya Quintiliani, Treasurer Monica Ranallo and Secretary Suzanne Waters, as well as our committee members Gina Blakemore, Annique Buckland, Mark Campana, Beth Carrello, Lee-Ann De Pannone, Marianne Folley and Rochelle Williams.

The fundraising allows the MPG to make sizeable contributions towards the cost of the Music Singapore Tour, which enables more boys to participate in and enjoy this fantastic experience.

In 2019 we had to hit the ground running as we had made a contribution of $20,000 to the 2018 tour and we were determined to raise as much as we could for the next trip in 2021.

I would also like to give Tanya Quintiliani a special mention and thanks. Tanya is a departing member of the MPG after six years’ service and has been an integral part of the fundraising efforts during those years. I’m sure many of you would have handed over an extra dollar or two for raffle tickets with Tanya’s gentle encouragement.

During the year we had the opportunity to fundraise at the Music Camp, Jazz at the Club and our Music Festival, as well as a very welcome boost to the funds from the Jazz Orchestra performance at the Ellington Jazz Club.

As a result of your generous support at our 2019 events, the MPG bank account is again looking very healthy and well-placed to make a generous donation to the 2021 Singapore tour.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the 2019 MPG members for attending our monthly meetings, approaching local businesses for donations, putting prizes together for our raffles and of course helping coordinate the various activities during the year.

Of course special thanks also to Mr Mancuso, Mrs Emma Tandy and all of the Music staff. The ever-increasing musical talent of our boys is a testimony to their dedication and hard work.

And finally, I’d like to sign off with a farewell as I, like Tanya, have come to the end of my CBC life for now. I’d like to thank everyone who supported our events over the last six years. I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the Music Parent Group and having the opportunity to witness the musical development of our boys.

DAVID CONTERA AND HIS SONS, LUCAS AND ETHAN, AT THE FATHER’S DAY BREAKFAST

PARENT AUXILIARY MR DAVID CONTERA PRESIDENT

In 2019 the committee grew considerably with the inclusion of five new members. Nicola Bowyer, Joyce Merenda, Jessica Parker, Karen Simons, James Metcalfe-Gibson and Michael Renton have contributed to our meetings with enthusiasm and a lot of great ideas and I look forward to next year knowing that we are in a good place.

We all agree that CBC Fremantle provides an experience like no other high school in Perth; the educational approach is far beyond what I remember from my days, but it is their holistic philosophy that really sets them apart from the rest of the field. Led by our wise and wonderful Principal Mr Domenic Burgio and his team, the boys are guided from the first day they arrive at the College to the last day at their graduation.

Share the Journey for Year 7 students sets the tone for the boys and their families as it aims to break down barriers and stigmas associated with a young man growing up in a world that can sometimes be very confusing. I look forward to this event every year; it gives me an opportunity to reflect on my relationship with my own boys and it seems that the event is highly anticipated by all of our Year 7 dads because no matter how hard we plan we always run out of Mr Burgio’s world famous barbecued onions.

I would also like to acknowledge all of the students who provide their assistance behind the scenes at our events and starting the preparation well before any of the guests arrive. Their help has been pivotal to our success in many instances and their company is always an added bonus.

My son Ethan graduated in 2019 and has embarked in a new chapter of his life by choosing to travel to Canada to work during his gap year in 2020. I look forward to catching up with him and hearing about his experiences. I am filled with comfort and joy knowing that he will face this adventure with the characteristics of a CBC Fremantle gentleman.

Thank you and best wishes to everyone. I really look forward to catching up with all of our current and future parents throughout the year at PA events and initiatives.

C O M M U N I T Y

I was a member of the Parent Auxiliary under John Atkinson’s guidance for three years before his departure at the end of 2018. I had big shoes to fill and I want to thank John and the College for putting their faith and trust in me to continue to provide support at the many events throughout the year.

At the beginning of the year we welcomed the Year 7 boys’ parents with a wonderful wine and cheese event under the stars in the Cloisters, and the events continued throughout the year with Open Day, Mother’s Day morning tea, Father’s Day breakfast, Grandparents’ Day and the Visual Art Exhibition. Attendance at these community gatherings are increasing from year to year and it is incredible how much preparation and planning goes into them, but with the help provided by members of the Parent Auxiliary and other volunteers, the hospitality at these special occasions is outstanding.

With a focus on our graduands being in the best possible place for their launch into the next phase of their journey after Year 12, Mr Scott McDonnell joined the leadership team as Deputy Principal with the portfolio of Teaching and Learning.

Mr McDonnell brought with him a wealth of information to reformat the process of course and elective selection and immediately set to work on implementing a cutting-edge study programme for the senior students.

Mr Mike Pickford was appointed Director of Student Leadership for a two-year secondment and has already introduced some incredible activities into The Rite Journey, as well as implementing changes to the Prefect programme for next year. His boundless energy and passion for the development of the young men at CBC has already made its mark.

The co-curricular area received an injection of enthusiasm too with Mr Troy Mollica joining the team as Head of Sport – we may have to make a larger trophy cabinet!

Mr Kim Delury came on board as a Drama teacher while Mrs Rosalba Jeffreys was on leave and his excellent work with the students was highlighted in the College performance evenings.

Mr Damian Owen was seconded to the position of Head of Rice House for 12 months and will go down in CBC history as the first person with the courage to lead the staff flash mob on Edmund Rice Day.

We welcomed Mr Chris Dix into Outdoor Ed, Ms Vicki Heath into Finance, Mr Chris Sellings into the Technologies workshops, Ms Lisa Speranza into RE, Ms Michelle Timms as Technician in the busy Arts department and Ms Jenefer Wiltschut into the Science team.

Mr Daniel Beaver, Mr William Purcell and Ms Elizabeth Sammut joined the Maths team to replace teachers on leave. We thank them for their support and friendship and wish them well as they continue their teaching careers. Mr Frank McTernan left during the year to go back to a career in the corporate world and left a gap in both the Science department and on the beach as the Surfing coach. Mr Ken Will also departed during the year to return to his home in the country and his cheery conversations out in the yard have been missed.

At the end of 2019 we said goodbye to Ms Jenny Knox, Director of Staff, who moved to Melbourne, and we also bid farewell to Mr Mitchell Di Virgilio, Mr Chris Pietroniro and Mr Nick Smith as they move on to other adventures.

Mr Pietroniro and Mr Smith have been excellent role models for students in Religious Education Retreats and The Rite Journey programme, and showed the strength that can be found in being vulnerable. We thank them for their generosity and compassion and know that the schools they move to are very lucky to have them.

The College wishes all of our departing colleagues the best, and welcomes our new friends in 2020 to the community.

D ONATION TO INDIA

This fundraising initiative was introduced

by Mr Burgio after he visited Lalitha’s school in 2018 and witnessed the power of her grassroots struggle to free the children of prostitutes from the cycle of poverty and oppression. In the October school holidays our Service Learning Coordinator, Mr Matthew Stockton, travelled with Ms Jenny Knox to India and presented Lalitha with the cheque on behalf of the CBC staff, along with all the hopes and prayers for a brighter future for her charges.

WAL K T HE TA L K

In Term 2, CBC staff spent a day in service, bringing the EREA Touchstones to life by volunteering in the wider community.

A group spent the day building wheelchairs for children in Africa alongside their Edmund Rice brothers at Wheelchairs for Kids, while their peers took advantage of the Food Technology facilities to prepare meals for Food Rescue back at the College.

Two teams were hard at work for St Patrick’s Community Support Centre, with one group sorting through donations on Adelaide Street while others created bespoke chopping boards in the College workshops ready to be auctioned off to raise money for the organisation’s important work in the Fremantle community.

A team of staff spent a day along the Applecross foreshore helping to rehabilitate the area’s natural beauty.

At the same time, Good Sammy Enterprises benefited from a group of staff who assisted support workers, while even more CBC people were at the Little Sisters of the Poor nursing home in Glendalough.

More than just providing a chance to get to know their co-workers better, the service day presented staff with the opportunity to give back to the community.

During the year, CBC staff donated a portion of their fortnightly pay to a school initiated by social worker and educator Lalitha Nayak in the slums of Delhi in India. The tiny but life-changing school is run by sheer passion and very little funds to provide opportunities

for children in the red-light district, and the donation from CBC will go a long way towards providing materials and support for the students.

In early September this year, 160 Year 6 boys from various primary schools attended the annual testing day for the 2020 Year 7 students. When this day comes, it is hard to believe another year is coming to an end. A few days after the testing I spoke to a number of current Year 7 boys about how their journey at CBC has been.

Overwhelmingly, they all said, with great smiles on their faces, how wonderful it has been.

At the beginning of the year there were a few boys who struggled a little with the whole high school experience. This is only to be expected and as the boys become more familiar with the routine and their new teachers, they begin to settle in. ​ It is particularly satisfying to see our older boys take on leadership roles to assist the young ones to

I would like to thank the Prefects and House Councillors for all of the work they have done for Kelly House, the College and our community.

In 2020 the student leadership will have a different structure and at the end of Term 3 we appointed two Kelly House Captains for next year. Well done

This year our expertise in the sporting arena didn’t quite allow us to achieve the high placings, although we did win the soccer competition held in Term 3.

The commitment and willingness of the boys to get in there and have a go was evident and there are a couple of champions coming up through the ranks.

The pastoral care of the boys in Kelly house has been outstanding this year with the Mentor teachers working closely with the students to ensure their CBC journey is a smooth and productive one. This dedicated team contributed to the strength and unity of our House and helped to make every school day a positive experience for the boys.

At the end of 2019, I will be stepping down as the Head of Kelly House and returning to the Mathematics classroom full time. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for being so supportive of the new House structure and taking on the challenges it involved with such a positive outlook.

It was a fantastic year for Morgan House.

I am always filled with a huge sense of pride when I see each individual student represent the College, and in particular the boys in Morgan House. With Integrity being our motto, it was gratifying to see our boys consistently demonstrate this characteristic in many facets of their College life during 2019.

We commenced the year with House Week, where students from all ages demonstrated unyielding enthusiasm, commitment and House spirit in activities ranging from Giant Jenga to the King of the Cloisters. It was also phenomenal to see so many families attend the annual House Breakfast and take the opportunity to visit their son’s Mentor Group.

The first competitive sporting event was the Swimming Carnival and the excitement and

anticipation amongst the boys was evident, especially the Year 7 students. While we didn’t take home the shield, the encouragement and support among the boys was extremely pleasing.

This enthusiasm and determination was carried into the House Cross Country with some fantastic results in all year groups. We finished a close second behind Kelly House at the end of the day, but the Morgan boys were not hampered by the defeat and our focus quickly turned to the Athletics Carnival.

We had the highest number of students participate in the pre-carnival events, which, coupled with some amazing individual efforts, led to Morgan being crowned the winners of the Athletics Carnival.

Our College Prefects and House Councillors have done a sterling job of supporting the many House and College activities. Without them, a number of events simply would not occur.

I would like to acknowledge Ms Rosemarie Boyhan, Mr Chris Dix, Mrs Chantelle Edwards, Miss Danielle MacDonald, Mrs Silvia Romagnoli, Mr Chris Sellings and Mr David Von Felton for their help this year.

Lastly, I would like to thank each Morgan House student for their efforts throughout 2019. It has been a rewarding year and I am eagerly anticipating 2020.

The graduating Class of 2019 has been a fantastic cohort, providing amazing support and guidance to the younger years and their Mentor teachers.

Our boys were exceptional with the way they engaged in all facets of College life, including the areas of sport, the arts, academics, service and faith.

There was a strong representation of O’Connor inspiration and creativity in the Music, Drama and Visual Arts programmes, providing a wonderful component to our community interaction.

House Week was once again a highlight of the year, with O’Connor embracing the challenges and participating strongly in all activities.

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.

The O’Connor Class of 2019 took up the challenge and led their House admirably this year. Their willingness to mentor their Year 7 buddies and take on extra responsibilities has been greatly appreciated. I would like to take the opportunity to wish our O’Connor graduates all the very best for the years ahead and remind you that you are always welcome at CBC. I feel blessed to be a part of O’Connor House and the opportunities to work with such great families and staff as we continue to create our own history. I look forward to 2020 and the opportunities it presents to grow and improve in all aspects of College life.

In 2019 the students of Patrick House shone by sharing their talents with the College community through commitment to service and faith, on the sporting fields, on stage and by representing the College in their pursuits both in and out of the classroom. The notable and breathtaking performances by Samuel Irving, Cooper McManus and James Rock in the Arts were a highlight, but each young man of Patrick House should hold their head high and be proud of their determination to push themselves beyond their comfort zones in the pursuit of personal excellence.

it was fantastic to see so many parents and guardians visiting Mentor Groups and participating in the annual quiz. Edmund Rice Day was another fantastic highlight of the College calendar with many of the Year 7 students commenting that it was even better than they had originally anticipated.

The Patrick House Year 12 graduands showed great leadership skills in organising the cooking activities, running games and participating in the World’s Greatest Shave. Their commitment significantly contributed to the success of the day and the enjoyment of the younger students.

House Week was a major event of the year with Patrick House embracing and participating in all challenges and competitions. The atmosphere at the House Week Breakfast trumped last year and

THE ENERGY OF ENDEAVOUR

052

MR DAMIAN OWEN HEAD OF RICE HOUSE

“ How is Rice House different to other Houses at CBC?” I asked at the first meeting of Rice House staff in January 2019. New to the College, I wanted to know how Rice stood apart. I had a name, a colour and an emblem – filling in the rest was the challenge!

It turned out that participation is the key with Rice House boys; they love being involved and giving new activities a try. There was no shortage of diverse activities at the College during the year and many Rice students took full advantage by joining sporting teams, music ensembles and interest groups, such as the Robotics and Radio Clubs.

Some boys committed themselves to a full schedule of extra-curricular activities while still maintaining a high standard in their academic pursuits. This commitment to getting the most out of life epitomises the Rice House motto, Endeavour.

This ethos was particularly highlighted at House carnivals where innate talent and full participation resulted in some spectacular results. In the House Swimming competition, due in no small part to the tireless efforts of Mr Mancuso, Rice had a competitor in virtually every race on the day. Some boys were not keen on getting in the water, yet there was always another boy willing to step in at the critical

moment. Letting down their House was not an option for some, despite near exhaustion from a full schedule of races and the enthusiasm of the Year 7 boys was palpable.

As a newcomer, I was very impressed with the strong performances and determination displayed by the boys in yellow.

The boys of Rice House were supported and encouraged by a group of experienced Mentor teachers. I appreciate the concern and guidance provided to the boys during the year and the camaraderie they have fostered within the Mentor Groups.

Those leaving Rice House this year will be missed.

Students and staff wish them health, happiness and fulfilment for the future. I am confident that the lessons learned, values instilled and attributes developed in these young men will stand them in good stead as they continue their journey. As we look towards 2020, I call all those in Rice House to accept challenges, set high expectations and endeavour to achieve your goals.

There were numerous occasions throughout the year when students volunteered their time to serve the community. This included coaching sporting teams, taking an active part in College Masses and assisting in technical support at events. Less obvious, yet equally valued, were instances where a student took on a mentoring role or helped a boy whom they recognised needed assistance.

C O M M U N I T Y

The highly anticipated House Week lived up to all expectations. The frenetic activity across the campus began early Monday morning and continued unabated until Friday afternoon, concluding with the exciting King of the Cloisters. Rice competed valiantly throughout the week and boys of all year levels achieved success. The House breakfast provided an opportunity to meet Rice parents, and some grandparents, and we all looked on proudly as highly competent boys practically ran the show.

This year started with welcoming our new leaders in Year 12 and our new members in Year 7. This is a very special time of bonding and making the transition for the new cohort smooth and enjoyable. Mentor teachers could not have done without the support of the Year 12 cohort, who patiently guided the new boys in everything from operating their numerical lock to finding the CM1 classroom. They truly embraced their new role, demonstrated by their unconditional patience and guidance.

Our annual Swimming Carnival was a wonderful opportunity to observe our boys encouraging each other and participating in the fun. Many boys volunteered to compete in races that they were not strong in, and discovered that engagement and demonstrating true sportsmanship is more valuable than coming first. The final scores were very close and we lost to our traditional rivals, Rice House, but I could see that Samson was strengthened as a team and are now well-prepared for even bigger and better events.

I always look forward to our College Opening Mass, which was held in the Cloisters on a beautiful balmy evening. It was a true joy to see the boys surrounded by their loving families and siblings; it is an event is that really binds us together as a school community.

Our House Week was extremely busy for all involved. An event like this is designed to encourage House identity and connection, through interaction, engagement and a little competition. The House Week breakfast is getting bigger each year – I think good news travels fast. Once again, Samson House

Students who have been involved in our Arts performance programmes have demonstrated their commitment by regularly attending rehearsals before and after school, and let’s not forget the late-night performances. I recollect many conversations with our tired Music students trying to concentrate in their classes after one of these evenings. We are extremely grateful for their commitment to providing our community with these culturally enriching experiences that highlight the power of art to bring people together.

Our Edmund Rice Day festival commenced at St Patrick’s Basilica and I commend all Samson House students for understanding the significance of this special Mass and

The Athletics Carnival is always a Samson House highlight and this year was no exception. Boys of all abilities gave their best and I commend the Year 12 cohort for embracing their last CBC Athletics Carnival. I was also awed and amazed by the younger year groups, who managed to complete the 800 metres or jump the hurdles without giving up. Samson boys demonstrated true sportsmanship by their high level of participation and encouragement of others.

Our boys have been guided by our very talented and truly selfless Mentor teachers: Mr Ian Binet of S1; Mr Evgeny Bespalov of S2; Miss Lisa Speranza of S3; Mrs Catherine Fry-Walker and Mrs Shayni Nelson of S4; Mr Kim Delury of S5, and Mrs Sharon Hookway and Mr Marius Van Dongen of S6.

There are so many daily encounters that I have with Samson students and teachers that it makes my job truly an exceptional one. The experiences are rewarding and long-lasting. I know we value the comradeship, commitment to each other and personal excellence as essential Samson House attributes.

The House Cross Country challenge enabled each boy to demonstrate their personal excellence.

Participation is such a key element to these House activities, and it was very satisfying to see the Samson boys rise to the challenge, which resulted in a very respectable first placing.

celebrating it with full participation and appropriate levels of respect. Thank you to our Mentor teachers for putting in the enormous effort to get their stalls running; we had some new initiatives with some success.

Prefect volunteers and parents were instrumental in making the bacon and egg burger stand more popular than ever. A variety of events were held during the fun and festive week, including, of course, the King of the Cloisters competition. I thank all of our volunteers for their incredible support.

RELIGION AND LIFE MS MARRIANN O’NEILL HEAD OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

At CBC Fremantle the concept of ‘Head, Heart, Hands and Feet’ can be useful in understanding the academic need for Religious Education in our College. RE develops analytical and written skills and many of our students contribute towards their university entrance by studying ATAR Religion & Life. In addition to the experiential and lived expression of faith and God, young people find themselves challenged to explain their spiritual journey and apply it to life’s vagaries.

Without knowledge of the beliefs and practices of spirituality and their applications in the world – and in our case this relates to the message of Jesus Christ as Christians and specifically the faith tradition of a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition – we can be left scrambling to make sense of life. And while every boy’s faith journey will be different, knowledge can assist them as they grapple with the mysteries of the universe and the call to live for others.

C B C

Knowledge is ‘the Head’ in our analogy. When the heart is hurting, the hands are full and the feet are weary, the head gives us reason

(the heart) to continue, to seek strength in our faith practices and understandings, and the will (the feet) to help change the world.

Special thanks go to our RE teachers, who every day endeavour to develop the knowledge and skills of every boy. They are not only experts in their curriculum, they are outstanding role models of faith and the journey.

It has been an honour to lead the RE Learning Area this year and it is with sadness that we farewell Mr Christopher Pietriniro and Mr Damian Owen. We thank them for the efforts in showing our boys the strength of being gentle and the power of commitment.

LIGHTING THE SPIRITUAL CANDLE MR MATTHEW SILVEIRA LITURGIES & RETREATS COORDINATOR

The core of Catholic life emanates from the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.

The weekly eucharistic celebration on every Thursday in the Blessed Edmund Chapel serves to be the most vital source of spiritual nourishment to the whole CBC community. We are fortunate to be imbued with the spirit of Christ through the weekly Masses thanks to the contribution of the hosting and participating Mentor classes and the teachers who have been an absolute pleasure to work with.

This celebration extends to all facets of CBC life and the CBC community at large.

The most significant part of the liturgical calendar occurs during our Gospel Spirituality Term at the beginning of the year with the grand Opening Mass, Ash Wednesday, weekly Masses, Years 7 and 12 Retreats, Reconciliations, Easter Liturgy and the whole school Mass at St Patrick’s Basilica for Edmund Rice Day. Second term focusses on Justice and Solidarity and the highlight event was the Mother’s Day Liturgy. Mothers, grandmothers and students were all actively involved in different parts of the Liturgy to their utmost satisfaction and pleasure.

The final Liturgies and ceremonies became the mark of the Liberating Education term.

The Graduation Mass was such a moving ceremony, with Year 12 students taking up several roles in the liturgy to make it a meaningful and spiritually enriching experience for the cohort, their family and the staff.

The Rite Journey came to a culmination with the retreat ‘Near Restful Waters’ facilitated by myself, Mrs Emma Tandy and Mr Sandro Sandri. Mr Sandri has a unique and exceptional ability to bring home the message of the Gospel as the students were inspired through a simulating experience of walking along the Sea of Galilee, while actually we were using the shores of the Swan River. The way Mr Sandri integrated the teachings of Christ in four different stations representing the Galilean towns Capernaum, Bethsaida, Tiberius and Gennesareth gave the students a deep spiritual experience. The Washing of the Feet ceremony, 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 celebrated in St Patrick’s Basilica. These family masses promote the significance of the practice of participating in the Sunday worship as a community and the different roles played by the students of CBC, including the CBC Choir and musicians, make it a vibrant Liturgy.

TOP: DANIEL PAGE AT ST PATRICK’S BASILICA MIDDLE LEFT AND RIGHT: STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN ACTIVITIES DURING THE YEAR 7 RETREAT BELOW: YEAR 10 RETREAT ‘BREAKING THE MAN CODE’

The Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist are trained in distributing Holy Communion during nearly 50 celebrations that occur during the course of the year. The eight students underwent a whole-day training session in the Redemptorist Retreat Centre to be thoroughly prepared for their Ministry. The valid contribution of Miss Maria Garbin towards the sessions of formation of these students is acknowledged with thanks and appreciation.

At the end of the year, the Kairos in-depth retreat, facilitated by Mr Neil Alweyn, Br Bernard, Mr Ian Binet, Ms Trevanna Cooper, Mr Jeremy Peris, Ms Marilyn Schmidt, Mrs Emma Tandy, Mrs Jenefer Wiltschut and a few former students of CBC, attracted 24 Year 11 students on their search for spiritual enlightenment. Staying in the Retreat House at Safety Bay, the young men experienced an immersion into the values of Christ for four days and were transformed by the adventure.

The role of Our Blessed Virgin Mary in the economy of salvation by cooperating with her Divine Son Jesus is never to be ignored. The Rosary Group of CBC, initiated by Dr Aidan Holohan and Mr John Hortense, seeks the intercessions of Mother Mary every Tuesday at 7.45am by meditating on the life of Jesus through prayerful recitation of Rosary.

It is my pleasure to acknowledge the contributions of Mr Neil Alweyn and the ever-willing support and input of Ms Marriann O’Neill 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 CBC Masses, deserve my grateful thanks.

Finally, I thank Mr Domenic Burgio, our Principal, who has been a vital spiritual stronghold at CBC. 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 as our boys become CBC gentlemen.

E D U C A T I O N

The scope and sequence of all the College Retreats were systematically revamped with a focus on a consistent and meaningful evolution of the final call the gentlemen of CBC receive at the end of Year 12 to go out and be witnesses of the Gospel Values. Vice Principal for Mission and Identity, Mr Neil Alweyn, along with other committed staff members played a vital role in making the Retreats meaningful and effective.

This second term was categorised

by Retreats for Years 10 and 11.

The contribution of RE staff made the retreat a great success story, preparing the Year 11 students for the ‘climb’ through life’s rises and falls as gentlemen of CBC in response to the continuous call of Christ. The Year 10 Retreat had a vital turning point this year because of its initiation of students into a practical and rewarding life of service for a day in places like Home for the Aged.

L I B E R A T I N G

The formation of the boys according to the rich traditions of CBC by being faithful to the four EREA Touchstones has been my dauntless pursuit since I started as the coordinator of Liturgies and Retreats in the middle of 2015. The engine room of the spiritual energy is the worship and retreat hours the boys spend during their journey to realise the CBC tagline, Today’s boys...Tomorrow’s gentlemen.

CHRISTIAN SERVICE LEARNING MR MATTHEW STOCKTON CHRISTIAN SERVICE LEARNING COORDINATOR

Christian Service Learning at CBC continued to grow in 2019 with an increased uptake of our existing, well-established programmes leading to the introduction of more opportunities.

The Perth Colour Run was supported by our younger students for the first time this year and proved to be an extremely fun way to raise funds for charity.

Integration of Christian Service Learning into the classroom was another new initiative and was well-received by the CBC community. The English department led a campaign that resulted in hundreds of books being donated to the Save the Children Fund. Year 9 Wood Technology students addressed the environment and donated bird boxes to aid in the rehabilitation of native birds and bats throughout the local area.

Activities with St Patrick’s Community Support Centre, East Hamilton Hill Primary School, Streetwise and Chevron were again supported by our CBC gentlemen. The selfless and giving nature of our students so perfectly epitomises our Touchstone, Liberating Education. Many witnessed first-hand the profound impact seemingly effortless gestures make to marginalised people in our community.

Many students have also embodied the Touchstone Inclusive Community by becoming involved with local groups. Countless hours of service have been offered to environmental services, sporting clubs and community organisations, often when many of us are on holidays or sleeping in. Due to these positive interactions created by the students, we look forward to an increased connection with Friends of Attadale Foreshore and Native Animal Rehabilitation Centre in 2020.

Christian Service Learning enjoys the commitment of countless staff, parents and students who make the opportunities to work in our community a reality.

Thank you one and all for your support throughout the year.

Our students continue to embrace the opportunity to develop their understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island culture, tradition and history, and this year we had a lot of fun introducing our Year 7 boys to the colour and vibrancy of CBC NAIDOC Week celebrations.

The fun of this special week blends into the serious matters of learning about our nation’s past that contributes to understanding reconciliation. We thank the amazing people who contribute to this experience; sharing their stories and lives with generosity of spirit and passion. Other opportunities for the students to examine political and social parameters surrounding Indigenous Reconciliation and apply our EREA Touchstones in action included National Sorry Day, the Kiwirrkurra Immersion

and the incredibly powerful Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME). These opportunities allow our boys to develop their own opinions based on positive experiences and factual learning.

I would particularly like to thank the AIME crew who volunteer to run the tutor squad with our Aboriginal students once a week. They provide support and companionship that goes way beyond helping the boys with their studies and I am grateful for their huge hearts and constant humour.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE MS MARILYN SCHMIDT ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE PROGRAMME COORDINATOR

The Academic Excellence Programme (AEP) identifies, challenges and extends students who are highly motivated to succeed in their academic and intellectual development.

To be invited to join the AEP, a boy has to achieve results in the top 15% in at least three of the five core learning areas.

However, academic excellence goes beyond achieving high grades. It entails going the extra mile to achieve set goals and requires consistent diligence and attention.

Students are provided with the opportunity to join the AEP groups of their choice, namely STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), Literature & Media, Robotics, Radio and Debating. These extra-curricular activities add to a broader, divergent and stimulating education.

The following Year 7 students joined after their first semester at CBC: Preston Cherry-Bayles, Nicholas Collins, Tirik Cordisco, Martae Cupic, Hugh Farquhar, Jack Fogden, Alexander Harris, Matthew Hart, Luke Henderson, Oscar Holohan, William Maddeford, Elliott Neesham, Jamie Neesham, Todd Nelson, Rylan Paatsch, Kalen Pintaudi, Andreas Piotrowski, Noah Preston, Jamie Randall, Hunta Reid, Finn Robinson, John Tayag, Jacob Woods and Nathan Yau. The senior boys attended the Gifted and Talented Conference, which explored the philosophy of ‘Knowledge and Belief’. The aim of this conference is to improve students’ thinking skills so that they can become intellectually creative and think systematically and rigorously. The students were given philosophical criteria to enable them to identify assumptions and distinguish between what is fundamental and what is trivial. Ethan Contera, Zachary Coubrough, Anthony Cutri, Benjamin Fitzpatrick, Matthew Gaschk, Peter Hudson, Ethan McDowell, Moss Monsoon, Jack Owen, Daniel Page, Jack Prigg, Hayden Symington and Neven Williams participated in this conference and represented the College as exceptional young gentlemen.

We were also very proud of Year 12 student Peter Hudson who spoke eloquently at the Plain English Awards competition and was chosen as a finalist in Western Australia.

Our avid photographers have adopted a strong team mentality this year, working in small crews to assist Mr Keane Bourke with the filming and live-streaming of College events. The boys have attained a wealth of knowledge in working efficiently at a busy event while up-skilling themselves on the technical side of audio-visual work. Avid followers of the College Facebook and Instagram pages will have seen the quality and the professionalism of this group as they develop a real-world understanding of the power of images and video.

Our keen photographers were out and about at every event from sporting carnivals to House Week, incursions and Edmund Rice Day, as well as after hours performance and Visual Arts evenings, always looking for the perfect shot to capture yet another moment in the year. It is always a reminder of how inclusive our CBC community is when students from Years 7 to 10 work together as equals, sharing their talents and providing an enormous service to the College in their role as chroniclers of CBC history. A special thank you to Yamato Yap for his commitment to photography; his presence at many College events after the school day had long finished was above and beyond.

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 craft.

The students were given the unique opportunity to meet with published authors Brian Falkner, Will Kostakis, Vikki Wakefield and Clare Zorn in a creative environment with students from other schools from around Western Australia. The boys are richer for the experience and have gained some great skills to assist their compositions in ATAR English.

E D U C A T I O N

This year the Literature & Media crew were very busy creating the story of our community through their photography and videography while our gifted writers from Years 8 to 10 have been building their craft at Fremantle Literature Centre during the Talented Young Writers’ Workshops.

Wednesday afternoons in Room 104 were loud and exciting as we brainstormed the highly anticipated Year 12 graduation video. Boardroom interviews with the graduands were conducted, secret afternoon filming sessions were held and the editing process completed. A big thank you to all students involved in the production: Edward Astill, Giacomo Biagoni, Willem Di Prinzio, Tony Kolic, Jake Walsh, Hayden White, Thomas Wilson, Samuel Wood and Yamato Yap.

AEP DEBATING MS MARRIANN O’NEILL DEBATING COORDINATOR

In a world of social media where the sharing of strongly held opinions is prevalent, we can pose the question as to whether debating is still relevant.

An article in The Guardian in 2016 argued beautifully for the affirmative: “The art of debate involves mastering skills of obvious intrinsic value: the confidence to speak in public and make sense; the construction of a logical argument; the ability to read an audience’s reactions; and, perhaps most importantly, the willingness to hear others’ arguments and to respond to them.”

In Term 3, James Nelson and Thomas Stevenson from the Junior Team competed in WADL’s British Parliamentary Competition, competing on a Saturday with a series of impromptu debates in a parliamentary setting. The boys really enjoyed this experience and are looking forward to continuing their Debating into the future.

With this in mind, our CBC Debating teams entered the West Australian Debating League 2019 competition with great anticipation, with Years 7 and 8 competing in the Novice section and Year 10 in the Junior division. With their coaches, the boys competed in five rounds debating such topics as:

NOVICE 1 (YEAR 7) Justin Billington Lachlan Godfrey Hunta Reid Oisin Scully Elliot Tither Jack Vetrone

• introducing universal currency, • young peoples’ votes should count as double, and • parents should pay students for good grades.

The teams researched, discussed and planned their arguments before delivering them with style, poise and respect for their opponents.

Overcoming butterflies, differing personal opinions and busy schedules, the boys showed fabulous commitment and execution in their debates. While we did not make it to the finals, their growth in confidence and skills was rewarding.

Congratulations to all of the students who participated and the parents who supported them at the evening events.

Thank you also to Ms Schmidt and the coaches for their dedication to helping our boys achieve their best.

AEP ROBOTICS MR JOHN HORTENSE ROBOTICS COORDINATOR

Every Tuesday afternoon, a dozen CBC students gathered in the Human Biology Lab straight after school to be involved in the process of creation. The honesty of their enthusiasm and willingness to learn and share were often so vibrant that they made Mr Sellings and me step aback to smile with amazement and gratitude.

There was never a dull moment in this class and the cacophony emanating from boys discussing ideas and options, and sorting through Lego to find the exact piece, is a telling example of our boys being so absorbed in trying to improve their robots that they lose all sense of time. Indeed, preparation reached a feverish peak just prior to the Robocup competition on Friday 9 August

AEP RADIO

at Curtin stadium. I am happy to say that all the boys performed well beyond expectations. A couple of teams (Cael Brooks, Liam Elliott, Jarrod Hazell and Angus Horton for their scintillating on-stage performances, and Hugh Farquhar and Finn Robinson for their rescue line mission) made it to the second stage of the competition that involved dozens of schools throughout the state.

With the state competition over, the Robotics giants did not waste time in making their own competition. The Sumo Wrestler involved placing two robots within a circle of about one metre in diameter and trying to drive the other out of the line.

Way to go boys! We are very proud of you. A big thank you to Ms Schmidt for her enthusiastic support, which can only be rivalled by the fun and commitment of our passionate Robot builders.

MS TREVANNA COOPER RADIO COORDINATOR

We are always trying to increase our knowledge and try new things.

A new initiative this year was to produce a school news segment with one of our newsreaders, Aiden Grier, being filmed in front of the green screen, which was then replaced by a virtual studio made

by Library Assistant Ms Eades.

After being edited by Mr Brunskill, this resulted in what looked like a televised news broadcast, adding a different perspective to our usual radio studio productions.

At 89.2FM CBC Radio we would like to thank Year 12 students Indy Greget O’Dea, Peter Hudson, Anton LaMacchia, Kye MitchellBathgate and Daniel Page, who were such a large part of the team for the past six years. Their support for the Radio has been a great encouragement for the younger students, and we congratulate them for their great leadership and a job well done.

E D U C A T I O N

The mostly Year 7 and 8 teams had a baptism of fire with Open Day, which in previous years had been run by the Year 11 students.

They successfully pulled off four 45-minute shows, which included a recorded interview of College Captain Alexander Buckland, a live interview of Peter Hudson (of Story Wall fame) and recorded phone interviews of drought and bushfire victims in NSW and Queensland.

Since then, the radio station has been running about four shows a week during lunchtime,

producing a consistent and reliable programme for our listeners.

L I B E R A T I N G

Forty-two students participated in running the 89.2FM CBC Radio this year, forming eight teams, each with their own Year 8 producer. The producers have learned their craft well and have become efficient managers, putting together and running their shows generally without teacher assistance. Six boys have trained as technicians and handle the technicalities of setting up, mixing the sound, transmitting and broadcasting.

WORLD SCHOLARS’ CUP MS MARILYN SCHMIDT AEP COORDINATOR

CBC Fremantle boys were fortunate to be involved with an inclusive, encouraging, interdisciplinary, discussion-based, forward looking, team orientated competition for students who are curious and love to learn! The aims of the World Scholars’ Cup align perfectly with those of the Academic Excellence Programme: to motivate students to discover new strengths and to inspire future scholars and leaders.

It was the first time boys from CBC AEP had participated in this competition. A curriculum that consists of six subject areas – History, Science, Social Studies, Art and Music, Literature and a Special Area – has to be researched and studied by the students prior to competing. After weeks of preparation, five CBC teams – 15 boys from Years 8, 9 and 10 – took part in the Regional Round, that was held at Sacred Heart College. The competition included debating, collaborative writing and individual and team multiple choice questions.

Our teams exceeded all expectations and within three short weeks Year 8 students Kabir Bajwa, Blake Prince and Riley Woods were heading off to Beijing for the Global Round.

Scholars in qualifying teams from more than 50 countries were invited to the Global Round. The boys experienced scavenger hunts, keynote speeches, panel discussions, a cultural fair, the Scholars’ Ball and all the competitive events of the Regional Round. The experience of being in Beijing for a week, seeing the Forbidden City, walking along the Great Wall and watching pandas was quite incredible for the young men.

The members of the CBC team walked away with new friends, new discoveries, and had qualified for the year-end Tournament of Champions at Yale University in November. The boys performed extremely well, bringing home a swag of medals and a further appreciation that learning can be great fun.

AEP SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING & MATHS During the first semester, students were challenged to design a bridge that would be tested to see how much weight it could support. Boys had to research designs and then use software to create their own bridges, which had to include a parabolic shape in its structure. Using software, they then had to simulate trucks driving across the bridge to identify points that needed strengthening. Once the design was completed, tested and in some cases re-designed, the boys had to build the bridge, preferably to scale, out of popsicle sticks and glue guns.

Teamwork, fine motor skills, creative and critical thinking and problem-solving skills were developed and put into use.

The theme of designing and building continued into the second semester where the boys were given building kits that included pulleys, levers and gears. Each week a different project was presented to the boys, who rose to the challenge and designed towers, buildings, levers and cranes to specific standards and criteria.

The competitive nature of the boys ensured that the designs were highly creative and innovative.

L I B E R A T I N G

Years 7 to 10 boys who choose to engage in AEP STEM meet every Tuesday afternoon and work collaboratively to complete challenges, to develop and design prototypes and to develop their creative problem-solving abilities.

The AEP boys who enjoyed our STEM challenges are high achievers who thrived on raising the bar in their learning journey – they are the future engineers and problemsolvers of our world.

The Arts MR SHANE MANCUSO HEAD OF THE ARTS LEARNING AREA

The vibrant Arts scene at CBC is testament to our wonderful students and staff who are fully committed to the busy and diverse programme throughout the whole year, including many school holidays. Our activities included concerts, festivals, competitions, liturgies and exhibitions, with our students providing quality entertainment and displaying remarkable talent.

An enormous amount of work goes on behind the scenes for every one of our numerous events and I would like to thank my core staff of Mr Kim Delury, Miss Lana De Palma, Ms Zoe Francis, Mrs Stephanie Hantzis, Mrs Rosalba Jeffreys and Mrs Emma Tandy. Mrs Shayni Nelson and Mr Nicholas Smith helped to support and run our Year 8 Drama and Media classes. They brought a wonderful energy and enthusiasm to our classes and our students have gained many learning experiences from them. I would also like to recognise the hard work by our new Arts Administration Technician, Ms Michelle Timms, who joined us at the start of 2019. Her expertise and organisation have been very welcome in our department and we are grateful to the College for supporting us in this area.

Some of our highlights for the year include receiving Excellence awards at the Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools for The Outsiders drama production, Jazz Orchestra, Guitar Ensemble 1, and Merit awards for our College Choir and Vocal Ensemble performances. Our Visual Art students were involved in the Angelico Art Exhibition and Riley Woods (Year 8) received an award for his works on display. Year 9 students in Visual Art were recognised and also had their art on display for the Catholic Education exhibition in December.

In the Music department, we were thrilled to have New Orleans trumpeter Ashlin Parker work with our students to improve their improvisation and sound and provide a burst of inspiration to our committed musicians.

We look back fondly on all of our achievements throughout the year and thank our students for their participation in the Arts, which enriches our community beyond measure. To witness the artistic journey of our students is so rewarding and their participation in the cultural pursuits of our College in 2019 has provided opportunities for building skills in teamwork, leadership, selfconfidence and critical thinking, as well as bond our community in a common appreciation of visual and aural beauty. Thank you, gentlemen, for rising to the challenge!

DRAMA MR KIM DELURY & MRS ROSALBA JEFFREYS DRAMA TEACHERS

The Year 11 Drama students flourished through the exploration of Representational and Presentational Drama, and a close study of Australian and world texts, such as The One Day of the Year by Alan Seymour and The Caucasian Chalk Circle by Bertolt Brecht. Their experience of Drama was reinforced through their involvement in the College theatre production and the opportunity to see Black Swan Theatre Company’s performance of Our Town for the Perth International Festival.

All CBC students were invited to take part in the weekly lunchtime Drama Club run by Mr Kim Delury. The regular members eagerly embraced a range of drama activities and games to help develop skills in improvisation, acting and play-building.

One highlight of 2019 was the College production of The Outsiders which involved students from Years 7 to 12.

The production was a huge success and entertained audiences over three magical nights. Congratulations to Mrs Rosalba Jeffreys, who directed this amazing production and helped develop memorable performances from the cast members from CBC and Iona Presentation College.

Another highlight of the year was our CBC Drama Night. Students from Years 8 to 10 entertained a large audience of family and friends with a showcase of witty and thought-provoking performances. Congratulations to Mr Delury, who produced and directed this wonderful evening of theatre.

We would like to thank the following artists and companies who inspired the performing arts in our students: Spare Parts Puppet Theatre, Bell Shakespeare, The Australian Institute of Theatre Sports and Into the Mask.

E D U C A T I O N

During a semester’s study of Drama, our Year 8 students enjoyed working in the areas of Greek mythology, creating masks and dressing up, as well as crafting characters in their realism scene-work. Students were inspired working with visiting Theatresports specialist practitioners, who helped develop their skills in improvisation, spontaneity and comedy.

The students in Years 9 and 10 Drama spent 2019 focussing on Melodrama, Youth Theatre, commedia dell’arte and Theatre of the Absurd. Australian texts and the works of Shakespeare played an integral part in their studies, giving students a valuable insight into famous scripts and classic works. Visits from a specialist commedia dell’arte mask practitioner gave Year 9 students the chance to engage with this highly energetic and entertaining performance style.

L I B E R A T I N G

It has been another busy and fulfilling year for Drama at CBC. 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.

Creating their own self-devised performances, students were also provided with the opportunity to work with Spare Parts Puppet Theatre, constructing their own puppets. A highlight of 2019 was the incursion by Bell Shakespeare Company and their performance of Romeo and Juliet to a delighted Year 7 audience.

VISUAL ART MS ZOE FRANCIS & MRS STEPHANIE HANTZIS ART TEACHERS

This year has been full of enthusiasm, challenges and exciting new directions. Art students from Years 7 to 12 have worked diligently and creatively to develop a diverse range of visual inspirations from studio areas of drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture and mixed media artworks.

The annual Angelico Catholic Arts Exhibition provides our boys with an incredible opportunity to put their work in front of a huge audience.

The boys who exhibited were Remy Ferguson and Isaac Wieser (both Year 11); Archie Tither (Year 10); Jack Sullivan and Riley Woods (Year 8), and George Carson, Novak Cole, Luke Collins, Archie Davis, Seth Galipo, Finbar Holohan and Oliver Renton (Year 9 group submission).

Riley Woods was selected to be a part of the St John of God Hospital Catholic Schools exhibition for his printmaking piece, and our Year 9 group work was selected as a part of the Catholic Education Office of WA annual art exhibition in December.

On the evening of Wednesday 30 October, the CBC community attended the official opening of the 2019 Visual Art Exhibition in the Arts Learning Area. The Year 7 Semester 1 students made a bright and colourful impact as visitors entered the ALA

with a tribute to the street artist Banksy. They produced their own graffiti on wood boards using paint pens and a series of spray can stencils focused around Banksy’s ‘Rat’ series.

The Year 7 Semester 2 students created an equally impressive ‘colour pop’ with their humorous take on Roy Lichtenstein inspired portraits of their family pet. Year 8 students worked with a variety of drawing mediums before developing final prints, Semester 1 students worked with the theme of ‘fish’ based on the work of MC Esther and Semester 2 students created works influenced by artist and designer Erik Abel.

Year 9 students created a series of pen and print works around the theme of birds, which then inspired their cardboard ‘birds in flight’ sculptural creations. They then moved on to create outstanding Mambo and Freo themed designs on the surface of a skateboard or ukulele, produced sea creature woodcut patterned prints, and participated in a stencil spray art workshop using found objects. All of their work highlighted some great skill and talent.

Year 10 boys worked on elongated figure mixed media paintings inspired

by Brett Whiteley. They produced 3D wire interpretations of their figures and exquisite large-scale portraits and mixed media studies of a famous person of their choice.

The senior Visual Art students were once again the highlight of the exhibition with Year 11 and 12 students producing a variety of works based on the themes of ‘Machines, Mechanisms and Devices’, ‘Post Modern Tea Party’ and ‘Roy Lichtenstein’s Inspiring Portraits’.

The boys were encouraged to create innovative and original artworks in a variety of mediums, making it a difficult job for Mr Alweyn to decide on the Principal’s Choice Award on behalf of Mr Burgio. An honorable mention was presented to Jackson Young (Year 11) for his tonal study of a businessman grabbing his caffeine hit, and the Principal’s Choice Award went to Jasper Miller (Year 12) for his incredible pen study based on rap music. A large number of boys received Excellence in Art Awards on the night for their commitment and dedication to the programme in 2019.

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

MUSIC MR SHANE MANCUSO HEAD OF THE ARTS LEARNING AREA

It was another busy year in the Music department with our musicians performing at many successful events, including the annual Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools, CBC Music Festival, Jazz at the Club, Music Performance Evening and College Family Masses. Our Jazz Orchestra musicians performed at the Ellington Jazz Club, and our vocal and solo students were also involved in helping to raise money for the 2019 Peru Immersion fundraiser at the Swan Yacht Club.

The annual Music Camp continued to be a highlight of the calendar and this year our students were able to enjoy performances by Gavin Nicklette, a singer and pianist who adds his own ‘jazzy flare’ to classic and contemporary pop tunes. We also had a visit from the Leeming Area Concert Band, a community group where players have an opportunity to continue performing with their instruments on a regular basis once they have moved on from the school system. It’s community bands like this that provide our musicians with direction and guidance for future years and we really enjoyed their performance at camp.

Our Instrumental Music programme is supported by our classroom lessons, where students in Year 7 gained experience in composing electronic music using computer software. Our Year 8 students gained valuable skills to develop music language through the study of the guitar and in classroom activities to gain a deeper understanding of the elements of music. In Years 9 and 10 our students consolidated their theory and aural skills while also developing their confidence in performing.

A special initiative in 2019 was the decision to participate in Generations in Jazz in 2020. This amazing festival is held in Mt Gambier with more than 5,000 students from across the country competing in bands and choirs. CBC is planning on taking a group of 24 students to represent the College and we can’t wait for our students to be part of this truly once in a lifetime experience. We are grateful to the College and our Music Parent Group for enabling this to happen.

This year Year 7 boys participated in the Scribbler’s Festival, a crosscurricular excursion where the students were introduced to a range of authors, speakers and quirky modern-day celebrities like Dr Karl and Eddie Woo. Eddie was an absolute crowd favourite – engaging and innovative.

096

The fictional authors’ focus was interesting as young adult fiction seems to be centred around dystopian themes. In our Year 9 and 12 ATAR programmes we study dystopian texts, focusing on how authors innovate for particular purposes. We have found that the study of this literature really engages our students.

The Year 11 and 12 Literature classes joined with other schools at the Perth Writers’ Week to meet with famous Australian author Markus Zusak. Year 12 Lit studied The Book Thief this year, so it was exciting and timely to be able to meet the author and hear firsthand ideas, thoughts

and processes used to write the novel. One of the most interesting things Zusak said during his talk was that every word is purposeful in his books and for each word there are at least three different meanings.

This year the focus for English Week in Term 3 was on reading.

The Adopt-a-Book Fair held in the Cloisters was a huge success with families and staff donating books of all kinds. Students and staff picked through the collection and adopted a range of texts for themselves and their families. A massive thank you to the families who donated books and supported this event.

A highlight of the week was the staff dress-up day. The English department themed as Mad Max – another famous dystopian – and the commitment to the appropriate hair style, make-up and clothes was amazing, albeit a little disturbing!

Thank you to other staff and faculties who dressed in costumes on the day; the boys loved it.

Competitions held during the week included the Spelling Bee, which was won by Year 7 student, John Tayag, and Story-a-thon, which invited students to be involved in writing a 100-word story with the theme ‘The Escape.’ The winners were Jackson Mithen in Year 7, Jake Godwin in Year 8 and Will Davie in Year 9.

At the end of the year we bid farewell to Mr Nick Smith, who is leaving CBC. We will sincerely miss his commitment to the boys’ English education.

Ms Jenny Knox also left the College; Jenny’s wisdom and experience has contributed greatly to our department. Good luck to Miss Shelley Nodwell who is taking a year’s leave in 2020. Finally, thank you to all of the English teachers – your dedication to the boys’ education is amazing.

HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES MR ALEXANDER HALL HEAD OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES

The Humanities teaching faculty has had an extremely busy year in 2019. Many hours have been devoted to further enhancing the curriculum to ensure that authentic, rich teaching and learning occurs in all classrooms. Students have continued to develop critical, higher order thinking skills and, by introducing classroom strategies to nurture a culture of learners through the use of engaging activities, we have extended our students.

Significant developments and additions to our calendar, both in the classroom and as part of the wider school community, have provided students with the opportunity to explore the dynamic world around them. They have been encouraged to appreciate the diversity of people and places that exist now or in the past, and the endless possibilities that may eventuate in the future.

In Years 7 and 8 students build thinking and inquiry skills by investigating History, Geography, Economics, and Citizenship. While exploring Geography, the students in Year 7 enjoyed an excursion to Rottnest Island, where they were able explore and undertake a sustainability challenge. During HASS Week they also set up stalls as part of our medieval event, which climaxed with a sword display from House Darksun.

The Year 8 students studied landforms and surveyed the topography of the Swan River on a full-day excursion. They also participated in the World Fair during HASS Week, where they chose a country from around the world and provided a display of information and traditional food from that nation.

In Years 9 and 10 students focussed on the Industrial Revolution, WWI and WWII, our democratic rights, Australia’s place in a rapidly globalising and interconnected world, and environmental change and living standards. Year 9 students were able to take part in a tour of Fremantle’s Army Museum and they attended a talk about sustainability from a Council representative during HASS Week. The Year 10 students visited Rottnest to complete a research

task encompassing all key areas of the curriculum.

A ‘Welcome to the World of Work’ morning was also offered to the students, where they rotated around a room of 20 businesses to collect information on roles, responsibilities and qualifications needed for different occupation types. The goal was to help students make informed choices for subjects in Year 11.

Year 11 and 12 students were given the opportunity to select a range of HASS courses, including Politics and Law, Geography, Modern History, Economics, Business Management and Enterprise and Accounting / Finance.

During the year, both the Year 11 and Year 12 Politics and Law students were treated to a talk from our local MP Josh Wilson. BME students were given the opportunity to participate in the ASX Share Challenge.

Economics students visited Saracen Engineering to learn about how globalisation and trade blocs have impacted upon their operations. Geography students visited John Hughes’ car dealership and Alcoa.

We are all looking forward to a great 2020 and are excited about developing additional activities and challenges inside and out of the classroom.

In 2019, students have been exposed to many diverse activities in the Italian classroom. Furthermore, in Terms 1 and 2, the Italian classes had a Language Assistant from an Italian university who helped the students to increase their language skills and fulfil their curiosity about contemporary Italian culture and trends.

Languages Week was one of the major highlights of the year. The entire week was an Italian feast and the College Cloisters was transformed into an Italian piazza where the CBC boys had the opportunity to experience il Belpaese in our own backyard in a variety of ways. There was the opportunity to use their language skills when buying an authentic Italian pizza and gelato, music and dance from the folk band Anninora provided some more inspiration, and the students were also challenged by the CBC Italian Education Perfect Cup.

This year also, the Italian classroom teaching was enhanced by the presence of two exchange students from the prestigious Catholic College Istituto Salesiani in Milan.

Paolo and Francesco delighted students and teachers with their witty presence and challenged the boys’ confidence in speaking Italian. Although their stay was short, they left a lasting memory, especially among their Year 12 peers.

With 123 students over four classes, the Year 7 students displayed a passion to learn the bella lingua. The boys blitzed the easy tasks, including learning the alphabet and basic conversation skills, and worked extra hard on tackling 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!

The Year 8 boys enjoyed increasing their linguistic skills, related to travelling in their city and in Italy and become knowledgeable appreciators of Italian cities and monuments.

It was a wonderful sign to see 110 students continue with their Italian studies.

Roleplaying La Guida Turistica became the highlight of the end of Terms 2 and 4.

The Year 9 students enjoyed improving their linguistic skills, going into more depth with content and grammar. In Term 3 they had the opportunity to learn about the Italian heritage of Fremantle directly from

immigrants who shared their stories as well as some mouth-watering food with the boys at the Fremantle Italian Club.

The Year 10 boys enjoyed an all-round learning experience, embracing different topics and grammar challenges. The concepts became more complex and the tasks became more difficult, but the boys were able to celebrate their dedication with a class pizza party as a well-deserved reward for winning the College Italian Education Perfect competition.

The Year 11 boys focused on their ATAR course and enjoyed the learning throughout the year. In Semester One they focussed on learning and practising the language related to relationships with family and friends.

Semester Two was dedicated to travelling and the boys experienced a deep learning experience of Italy and its attractions. They engaged in practical skills like booking a hotel based on authentic travel reviews in Italian from websites like Tripadvisor.

The Year 12 Italian students are now experienced practitioners of the language. They had the opportunity to go on a three-day immersion in the language at a camp, where they practised their Italian with many activities and consolidated their friendship with students from two other schools. 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 TEACHER

One initiative that started in 2019 was Learnpath, which accumulated relevant resources based on lower school teaching programmes that enabled Years 7 to 10 students to quickly access exact video clips or webpages. They could access these both at school and at home and they were so useful in preparing assignments or for exams. The Idea Shop was the first school library in Australia to implement Learnpath and Ms Cooper was interviewed in a worldwide webinar in March this year about the initiative. Softlink, who had made the product, also produced a case study on CBC Fremantle and how we were using Learnpath, which resulted in a spate of enquiries to us from around the world.

A big challenge for library staff was the Year 8 STEM Project where students had to think of an innovative idea to help the world and then work out how they could achieve it. They were encouraged to think of the different technology they could use in their presentations and the Idea Shop was one of the main places they came to for assistance.

Mr Brunskill became an expert

at 3D printing after helping the boys to print 15 models and also helped them edit film. Ms Eades assisted with green screen techniques and taught a group of boys how to create a design and sublimate it on to t-shirts so they could advertise their message.

She also helped others to print their design onto vinyl stickers.

Hot Chocolate Tuesday during the winter term was very successful with about 25 students turning up each week to read silently during lunchtime, whilst enjoying a warming drink.

The Codebreaker Challenge had about 40 participants this year with Year 11 student Morgan Montes taking out the coveted prize.

In Term 3, Mr Lacey discovered the 1972 to 1990 Admissions Register and brought it to Ms Cooper who is now scanning the pages and adding each name to the archives data base. She has also started work on writing more episodes for the Story Wall and has completed four so far.

In Term 4, Mr Sellings’ Year 9 Woodwork Class were creating the cockpit for the Idea Shop’s new flight simulator, which should be operational in Term 1, 2020. Another initiative for next year will be an escape room.

The Idea Shop numbers have continued to be high in 2019, averaging 170 boys before school daily, about 100 at recess and at lunch, and around 30 in Homework Club, plus more when there are impending tests. It was a new initiative this year to open until 7pm Monday to Thursday for three weeks before the Year 11 and Year 12 exams in Terms 3 and 4.

It was a busy year with many challenges, particularly technology, but many students have been helped to realise their ideas. After all, this is what the concept of an Idea Shop is all about. It is far more than a Library, although books are important too and remain our major concern. Our students enjoyed a variety of novels and non-fiction books this year and we continue to work hard to keep our boys interested in the written word.

It is a well-known fact that an enthusiastic and consistent teacher makes a big difference in the atmosphere of their classes and the attitude of their students to the love of learning. It gives me great pride to see that all of our Maths teachers at CBC are enthusiastic and dedicated, with a consistent approach to their students and their subjects.

S E N I O R AUS T R AL I AN CUR RI C UL U M

The number of students choosing to do more challenging mathematics subjects at CBC Fremantle continues to increase. Therefore, we have doubled the number of classes for Mathematics Specialist so that students can still choose this subject without

reducing their choices in senior years. Most boys choose their Mathematics subjects in Year 11 with confidence of success, while some of our boys are prepared to give these a go without the fear of failure that stops so many of us from attempting new things. This attitude is nurtured from Year 7, and we strongly encourage our students to always give challenging things a go with enthusiasm and commitment. There is a strong mathematical culture at CBC Fremantle and we are very proud to see our boys enjoy the learning process.

During these sessions some of our senior students step in to help the junior boys when all teachers are otherwise engaged. It is with great pride that we observe the camaraderie between boys of different years helping each other – peer learning is an important component of the teaching and learning process and it is gratifying to see this as part of our academic culture.

HAVE S UM F UN C O M P E T I T I O N

CBC Fremantle participates every year in the Have Sum Fun competition organised by the Mathematical Association of WA (MAWA). MAWA normally accepts only one team per school and yet our students at CBC are so keen to participate in this event that we take two groups every year.

The senior teams were formed by Jayden Craven, Ahmad Fallah, Lawson Hinton, Tomás Holohan, Archer Larwood, Jeroen Sugunasingam, all in Year 11, and Zachary Coubrough, Benjamin Fitzpatrick, Indy Greget-O’Dea, Joshua Jackson, Jack Prigg and Hayden Symington in Year 12.

The junior teams were formed by Tiernan Lyne, Noah Preston and Hunta Reid in Year 7; Samuel Pittard, Jack Sullivan and Riley Woods in Year 8;

Ryan Marrington, Oliver Wood and Luke Wyatt in Year 9, and Edward Astill, Liam Pintaudi and Aaron Ricciardi in Year 10.

All the competing teams placed in the top set of scores, achieving excellent results for CBC Fremantle.

AU STR A L I A N MATH S C O M PE TI TIO N

CBC participates every year in the international competition known as the AMC. All extension classes engage in a multiple choice test that has challenging lateral-thinking questions designed to gauge the student’s mathematical reasoning.

This year 62% of our students placed above the average score, with 16 students achieving the top Distinction and High Distinction categories.

Recognised by the Australian Mathematics Trust who run the competition, our top performers were Year 7 students Luke Henderson, Finn Robinson and Jamen Wain; Year 8 students Aidan Nigli, Jack Prelevich and Hayden White; Year 9 students William Brown, Charlie Warren and Luke Wyatt; Year 10 students Edward Astill, Ryan Bowater and Marc Morolla; Year 11 students Kaidyn Burd, Ahmad Fallah and Archer Larwood, and Year 12 students Shadyn De Alvis, Ethan McDowell and Jack Prigg.

Best in School was awarded to Hayden White in Year 8 who placed in the top 0.003% of the population that competed – that is the top three in one thousand people!

The Year 9 cohort experienced an advanced survival and swimming skills programme where they were required to demonstrate the ability to respond to various first aid scenarios in an attempt to preserve life. This proved to be extremely challenging for some of the boys but at the same time it was an extremely rewarding and eye-opening experience. This was followed by a crash course in bodyboarding where the boys learnt key information related to the ocean, the weather and the correct preparation prior to entering the water during the winter months. Although fun and interactive, some important life lessons were learnt by all participants throughout Term 2. The Year 9 students finished off with navigation, mountain biking and rock climbing. The array of activities provided by the College ensured all students were able to learn, experience and be challenged at some point throughout the year

The Year 10 programme included fishing with our resident fisherman Peter Goulding, who shared with the boys information about fish species, setting up of rigs, casting and fishing techniques.

Some of the classes also had the opportunity to involve themselves in a fish filleting session also run

by Peter. The Year 10 students also completed a bronze medallion course and a snorkelling course, and had the chance to climb and

belay on the indoor rock-climbing wall located at the College.

of fellow climbers both on the wall and over the wall when abseiling.

The upper school Outdoor Education programme is designed to really challenge the students in terms of their relationship with nature and how they conduct themselves outdoors. For many of our students this is initially quite confronting as the expectation from Year 10 to Year 11 increases significantly. In upper school the programme becomes less practical and based more on safety, the environment and sustainability.

With this in mind, the Year 11 students experienced snorkelling in Term 1, which culminated with a three-day ‘Leave No Trace’ camp on Rottnest Island. During Term 2 the boys had their first opportunity to complete their Recreational Skipper’s Ticket down at the Marine Education Boatshed.

This was followed by canoeing in Term 3 where the boys further develop their team work skills in preparation for the paddling camp on the Blackwood River in Nannup.

The first Outdoor Education camp for the Year 12 young men was located in the Margaret River region, where the students were required to complete a 15-kilometre bushwalk, set up camp, design and cook their own meals and abseil off a 50-metre high cliff face. The boys really extended themselves, overcoming fears and embracing the opportunity of new challenges.

The Year 12 programme is another challenge for the participants, both individually and collectively.

Throughout the year the boys developed various skills related to rock-climbing, abseiling and sailing in preparation for expeditions that run throughout the school year.

The boys experienced fantastic lessons based on rigs, safety, equipment set-up and abseiling.

These were both informative and extremely important, as the boys at times were in charge of the safety

The year ended with a sailing camp on the Swan River using all the skills and abilities previously learnt at the Marine Education Boatshed.

The camp ended up being a true test of character with the group experiencing extremely trying conditions throughout the trip.

On reflection, all boys conducted themselves magnificently with the group bonding together to achieve our common goal.

It was great to see so many students enjoying Outdoor Education in 2019 and I look forward to many more new faces joining our ever-evolving programme in 2020.

I would like to thank Mr Chris Dix, Mr Justin Leech, Mr Troy Mollica, Mr Ben Shaw and Mr David Von Felton for their time and effort throughout the year.

Health and Physical Education has had an outstanding year, making some excellent progress towards our young men developing a critical understanding of the benefits of being fit and healthy. With the opportunity in 2019 to have more Physical Education lessons each week, students have been able to further increase their skills and strategies and gain a deeper knowledge of the benefits of exercise in a practical context. The extra time has also made it possible for students to try different sports with a focus on striking and invasion games.

HE ALT H E DUCAT I O N

Health at CBC Fremantle is constantly evolving in order to provide students with the best opportunity to deal with the issues of the 21st century. The Health programme this year has strived to enable

students to understand the issues surrounding Mental Health, healthy relationships, risk-taking behaviours and many other challenges the young men may face in the future. The aim has been to give students the tools not only to assist themselves but to also help others around them to deal with these situations.

SPO R T SC I E N C E

The practical and theoretical aspects of the sporting industry have been combined to give students a better understanding of how the body works in a sporting context. The boys also learnt about the qualities of a good leader and coach and then implementing these in a practical sense.

Students have had the opportunity to try different sports such as gridiron and lacrosse, and were also introduced to left-of-field sports through a unit on world sport which included several indigenous games.

Students in both ATAR and General Physical Education Studies worked extremely hard this year, learning many aspects of physical activity and the human body. Whether it is competing or understanding the mental qualities needed to either play or coach in sport, they have excelled in all aspects. Students in the General course completed their Certificate II in Sport and Recreation, which included their Certificate in Senior First Aid. With the introduction of new equipment in the weights room, boys have been able to put their theoretical understanding into practice. Students have been put through labs to assess their ability to withstand aerobic stress and fatigue, and feel the results of different energy systems on the body. This handson approach has enabled students to better grasp difficult exercise physiology concepts.

I would like to thank the dedicated Physical and Health Education teachers: Mr Ian Binet, Miss Ali Connell, Mr Christopher Dix, Mr Daniel Kennedy, Mr Justin Leech, Mr Francis McTernan, Mr Troy Mollica, Mr Michael Pickford, Mr Anthony Rawnsley, Mr Patrick Ryan, Ms Angelina Sawyer, Mr Ben Shaw, Mr Nicholas Smith, Mr Matthew Stockton, Mr Adryan Winnan, Mr David Von Felton and Mrs Pauline Van Lohuizen for another fantastic year of learning.

In addition to our courses, the Science department provides the opportunity for our students to take part in various competitions.

Some of our Years 9 and 10 boys entered the International Competitions and Assessments for School (ICAS) Science competition, Years 11 and 12 Chemistry classes sat the Australian National Chemistry Quiz, and selected Year 11 students sat the Science Olympiads in Chemistry, Physics and Biology.

We also offered scholarships to the CONOCO Phillips Science Experience Programme to provide passionate students with the opportunity to work with dedicated scientists and to meet like-minded students.

Our recipients this year were Ryan Farr and Jed Stafford. We wish them every success with the programme.

A highlight of the year for scientists around the world is Science Week.

This year we ran some exciting incursions. Our Years 7 and 8 classes were exposed to Western Australian birds of prey, our Year 9 boys were fortunate to see some spectacular and entertaining demonstrations performed by Murdoch University’s Outreach Programme, and our Year 10 students were exposed to either a virtual reality experience or an engaging SciTech session on the future of artificial intelligence and the moral and ethical dilemmas that accompany it. The students were also blown away by exciting lunchtime experiments: liquid nitrogen was used to shatter bananas and ‘cook’ eggs, hydrogen and thermite explosions were used to demonstrate some exciting exothermic reactions, and some informative and skilled dissections were performed for those with strong stomachs. We also screened our inaugural SCINEMA International Science Film Festival.

Our Year 12 Biology students visited one of Australia’s leading research centres, the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, while the Year 12 Human Biology students went to the zoo to look at changes in primate evolution and how they relate to human evolution. The Year 12 Chemistry class visited Kwinana to tour the CSBP and Kleenheat Gas factories, where the students attended lectures from senior engineers and were shown some fundamental aspects of plant operation.

All of these amazing activities could not have happened without the tireless support of our Science staff. We would like to thank Mrs Amelia Andrew, Mr Evgeny Bespalov, Miss Ali Connell, Dr Aidan Holohan, Mr John Hortense, Mr Frank McTernan, Mr Louis Miller, Mrs Nirmala Narayanann Mr Damian Owen, Mr Anthony Rawnsley, Ms Angelina Sawyer and Mrs Jenefer Wiltschut for their hard work and promotion of the sciences.

The Year 11 Biology students also had a chance to visit Rottnest on an action-packed two-day camp where the students were exposed to the unique ecosystem and Jimmy McKenzie’s music selections. Meanwhile, the Year 11 Physics class visited the Gravity Discovery Centre at Gingin where they recreated some famous gravitational experiments and were exposed to cosmological concepts ranging from those of indigenous Australians to the most recent theories regarding the Big Bang Theory and the inflation of space.

Our Integrated Science classes also enjoyed many excursions, ranging from forensics at the ChemCentre where students witnessed scientists working on real-life cases, even having the opportunity to see two scientists comparing fibres from a crime scene to provide evidence in an ongoing investigation. Integrated Science students also visited the Canning River Environmental Education Centre (CREEC) to study water health and put their Certificate II (Sampling and Measurement) skills to use.

L I B E R A T I N G

When we weren’t bringing engaging scientific activities to our students, we were taking our students to where the action was. There were many excursions this year, with one of the biggest additions being a joint trip between the Science and HASS departments to Rottnest for our Year 7 boys. The Science activities involved identifying various flora and fauna from around the island (and included an inordinate number of Quokka selfies as inspired by Chris Hemsworth and Roger Federer) and sampling and categorising organisms and other materials found along the beautiful shores of Rottnest Island.

At CBC we strive to offer opportunities for as many students as possible to represent the College at a variety of levels.

We acknowledge that this can be a challenge but through events such as the ACC Lightning Carnival and entering multiple teams into a growing number of competitions, we can provide increased opportunities for our boys to participate. Sport is not only about developing skills but also about fostering confidence, friendships and leadership qualities that can be taken into all areas of life.

112

In 2019 we have taken part in a large variety of sports, both as part of Associated and Catholic Colleges (ACC) and Sport WA. In the majority of these competitions CBC entered multiple teams, providing more opportunities for our students to participate than ever before.

The ACC Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics carnivals were the College’s biggest events, with a large number of boys selected to represent their school. The athletes put in many hours of before and after school training, aiming to achieve their personal best. We had some outstanding individual performances across the year with many students breaking CBC or ACC records. Our junior boys were impressive across all carnivals, experiencing team and individual success, and the CBC spirit was strong with senior boys and coaches leading the way.

Thank you to all who made the commitment to preparing the teams for these events.

In Term 2 we were also part of the Years 7, 8 and 9 ACC Lightning Carnivals, with all students in these years competing in Rugby, AFL Football, Soccer and Ultimate Frisbee. These events are based solely on participation and it was

a fantastic opportunity for all students to represent the College in the right spirit. Thank you to all the teachers and senior students who made these days such a success.

Congratulations to the following students who were formally recognised at the College Awards Evening for their commitment to sport in 2019: • Athletics Award – Alejandro Larranaga-Boyle • Cross Country Award – Ky Hehir • Swimming Award – Tex Sjerp • Sports Service Award – BJ Cunningham • CBC Junior Sportsman of the Year – Kale Arena • CBC Senior Sportsman of the Year – Adam Correia

It was yet another year where our First XVIII AFL Football side performed very well. While we may not have made or won the Grand Final, we still had a very strong and consistent season. We commenced the season by winning our first three games against Mandurah Catholic College, Darling Range and Clontarf, then fell agonisingly short in our next two games against Comet Bay and Emmanuel, losing by less than a goal in each of these games and finishing second in the south pool. In the first week of finals we faced a ferocious Governor Stirling Senior High School who jumped us in the first half and raced out to a five goal lead. To our boys’ credit, they kept fighting until the final siren and ended up going down by under two goals. Unfortunately the head start was too much for our boys to peg back and Governor Stirling went on to win the overall competition.

The addition of Mr Scott McDonnell and Mr Troy Mollica to our staff gave the team a real advantage, with both providing a wealth of experience and knowledge about the game that the boys thrived off. Throughout

the season our boys were ably led by Captain Adam Correia and his deputies Samuel Ryan (Year 12) and Jonas Brown (Year 11).

While Adam and Samuel have left the College football programme in a fantastic state, Jonas and his fellow team mates are tasked with carrying on the thriving CBC AFL culture, starting with the 2020 Football tour to Melbourne.

Although playing against much older boys, the Year 10 boys’ contributions to their team were invaluable. The future of the team is in safe hands if Ryan Henley, Levi McKay, Finn O’Reilly and Laken Wain continue to improve as leaders and core members of the squad moving forward.

It was an historic year for the Years 8 and 9 Football programmes as we entered three teams in the school boys’ competition for the first time, which included two teams in the second division.

The third team provided an extra 30 boys with the opportunity to represent the College throughout 2019. We had more than 100 boys representing the College in Years 8 and 9 football throughout this season. Both teams performed incredibly well, often coming up

against opposition school A teams.

The B side, coached by Mr John Black, finished third on the ladder with a 4-win, 3-loss season, and the C side, coached by Mr Justin Leech and Miss Chloe Lynn, finished with a respectable 4-loss and 3-win season, confirming all of our theories that placing a third team into the competition would be a great idea.

Our A side, coached by Mr Christopher Pietroniro and assisted by Mr Troy Mollica, played in the Eagle Boys’ School Cup Cable Division, which is now in its second season since being revamped in 2017. The finalists had the amazing opportunity to play off at Optus Stadium and the competition has become particularly strong. We had extremely high hopes for our boys on the back of 2018, where the boys made the final four in the B competition. The boys didn’t let us or themselves down, winning a staggering seven games in a row against Emmanuel, Comet Bay and Mazenod College on their way to advancing to the Grand Final. Led by Captain Samuel Otto and his deputies Anthony Macri and Jake Urquhart (all Year 9), our boys constantly

It was a pleasure to observe our eight junior team members improve with every game – the Year 8 cohort of Jack Anderson, Noah Cattalini, Aidan Harvey, Ky Hehir, Max Lynn, Thomas Stipinovic, Luke Strahan and Riley Woods. We all know how intimidating it can be playing against older boys but they got on with the game and displayed great maturity. They have had a taste of success and it is now their task to lead the side in 2020 and nurture the next batch of younger boys.

The introduction of two Year 9 students to the College, Ty Channells and Jared Filmer, was instrumental as both boys quickly became pivotal players in our success. Ty and Jared immersed themselves into CBC AFL Football, demonstrating not only exceptional skill but outstanding dedication and commitment to their teammates and the guernsey.

I am exceptionally excited to see what these two gentlemen can contribute to the College in years to come. Another performance of note was from Luke Bowyer, who

kicked three of our five goals in the semi-final to ultimately win us the game. Earlier that day Luke hurt his shoulder during a PE lesson and had to leave school to see a physio before returning to take his position in the game and again demonstrate his commitment to the College and his team. Other strong performers throughout the season were Angus Bell, Jack Eastaugh, Luke Kenny, Aidan Legge, Anthony Macri, Samuel Otto, Noah Petrilli and Jake Urquhart.

demonstrated a skill and tenacity that was too much for opponents to handle. Unfortunately, our boys fell short in the Grand Final to a very strong Governor Stirling side, but this was not due to a lack of effort or will-power. Our boys controlled the first half of the game without making the most of our opportunities and ultimately that came back to bite them in the second half. Despite the disappointing result to finish our season, the boys thoroughly enjoyed the experience of playing at Optus Stadium and experiencing exclusive access to the new facility. A special mention to all of the boys who participated in the season; they showed tremendous dedication to their peers and represented the College with the utmost pride and passion.

Poor weather meant we had to postpone our 2019 House Athletics Carnival to Monday 1 July. It was a cold but fine day at the WA Athletics Stadium with plenty of excitement in the air as staff set up all of the throwing, running and jumping events from very early in the morning.

There was great competitive spirit on display across the day through all age groups in all events.

The final results for the House Athletics Carnival were: Morgan Rice Samson O’Connor Patrick Kelly

The standout performance of the day came from Alejandro Larranaga-Boyle who set a new ACC record in the Javelin throwing 52.7 metres. This record was previously set in 2014 at 51.46 metres. Alejandro was also awarded runner-up champion in the Under 15 division.

We had many other outstanding individual results on the day, including Tristan Jensen finishing third in the Under 15s, Ky Hehir placing fourth in the Under 14s and Conor Larranaga-Boyle finishing fourth in the Open division.

Alejandro Larranaga-Boyle equalled the 200m record for CBC, running the race in 24.07 seconds.

His older brother, Conor LarranagaBoyle, also broke his own record from 2018 in the 400m, running it in 51.05 seconds.

A huge thank you must go out to all of the competitors, parents and coaches who made this day possible. The biggest thank you must go to the staff who assisted with training on Monday afternoons: Mr John Black, Miss Ali Connell, Mr Kim Delury, Mr Daniel Kennedy, Mr Justin Leech, Mr Damian Owen, Mr Christopher Pietroniro, Mr Zachary Preston, Mrs Silvia Romagnoli and Mr Adryan Winnan.

The 2019 Athletics season commenced in Week 2 of Term 3 with more than 150 athletes competing for a spot in the ACC A Division team. There were many afternoon sessions held over the course of seven weeks to select the final team of 80 students to compete on Wednesday 18 September at the WA Athletics Stadium.

Overall CBC finished sixth in the junior boys’ division and eighth in the senior boys. This resulted in placing sixth overall for the day.

Not the result we were after but the athletes gave it their all, both in preparation and on the day, and this is all we can ever ask of them.

The 2019 Senior Basketball team was full of talented players from a number of different year groups. Throughout the season, CBC Fremantle battled in several close encounters against extremely strong opposition teams. The boys demonstrated maturity and a level of game sense beyond their years to come away with some close-fought victories.

124

Our most impressive performance of the year came against Mandurah Catholic College in a knock-out quarter final on our home court. The Mandurah team arrived loaded with a host of state players desperate for the win. The CBC team stuck together in an extremely challenging first half, executing the game plan and ultimately coming home with a well fought-out victory. Unfortunately, the following semi-final did not go to plan as the boys squandered a 15-point lead midway through the third quarter.

They battled on, forcing the game down to the last

play. Regrettably, we ended up going down by only one point as we missed a shot to win the game on the buzzer.

Although the boys were extremely disappointed with the loss, the year remained a huge success, with a number of individual outstanding performers being unearthed throughout the season. A special mention has to be made of Kaidyn Burd, Mark Mandic and Anthony Romeri who all made outstanding contributions in each and every game in 2019.

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

FIRS T XI CRICKET

The 2019 First XI Cricket season experienced many tremendous individual results that allowed us to produce several winning performances. However, a belowaverage result throughout the middle of the season ended any chance of a finals appearance.

The season started with a hardfought win over Corpus Christi College, who were very gritty in defeat. The pace and accuracy of Brandon Walsh was far too much for the opposition, who ended with figures of 3/20, accompanied by the strength and power of Taj Perer who hit a swashbuckling 44.

was able to extract swing and bounce and finished with 3/14, and Taj Perer finished off the season with a crafty 48.

Round three ended with a clinical win over Willetton. The contributions and professionalism of all team members was admirable. Young gun Levi McKay flourished with 1/14 with the ball and the experience of Logan Renouf showed as he once again applied his trade with the bat, finishing with 53.

The boys finished with three wins and one loss for the season, that ultimately cost us a place in the upcoming rounds. The boys should be commended for their outstanding work ethic and professionalism throughout the season. Well done to the debutants Jayden Camarda, Mitchell Farmer, Michael Gaynor, Jake Italiano, Tony Kolic, Aidan Legge, Dylan McHugh, Levi McKay, Matthew Medin and Samuel Otto who all showed tremendous talent at times throughout the season.

Our final game of the year was our road trip down to Mandurah with the team brimming with youth.

Our Year 12 boys missed the game due to schooling commitments, so we knew we were going to face an extraordinary challenge. CBC came out on top with a convincing win over a team which possessed an array of talent. There were outstanding performances from our debutant Dylan McHugh, who

Finally, credit must go to Mr Zachary Preston who continues every year to organise the logistics and uphold the standards of the First XI Cricket team.

Round two against Emmanuel College was frustrating to say the least; the fielding performance was below average and subsequently key moments in the game cost us a chance of success. They boys fought hard with strong contributions from

Matthew Medin, who hit a well compiled 30, and Logan Renouf, who bowled with consistency and finished with 3/15.

CROSS COUNTRY MR DANIEL KENNEDY, MR CHRIS PIETRONIRO & MISS LISA TOGNOLINI CROSS COUNTRY COACHES

The 2019 Cross Country season commenced early this year with the continuation of the CBC running club. This gave eager students the opportunity to build their fitness levels in preparation for the House Cross Country at the end of Term 1.

Running sessions started by meeting at the College at 6.50am and venturing to South Beach where the boys would complete a 4.2km run along the footpaths, complemented by a well-deserved swim in the ocean.

Throughout our campaign, numbers consistently ranged between 30 and 40 as the running club and the Cross-Country squad became one. There was much laughter and discussion of tactics over breakfast each Tuesday and Thursday morning.

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

Our performance was exceptional and the boys produced some outstanding results throughout the day. CBC had strong runners across all age groups, particularly in the boys’ 13-year-old category, where Ky Hehir came sixth, Kale Arena 10th, and Elliot Tither 20th respectively, and winning the overall division championship. In addition, Ky and Kale gained a place in the state team; a deserving reward for their fantastic individual

126

efforts. Other notable results were two of our College leaders, Thomas Maycock-Hansen and Asher Hwight, finishing 20th and 25th respectively in the 16-year-old boys’ division. 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, coming second to an extremely strong Sacred Heart College, their effort and camaraderie was outstanding throughout the day.

Two weeks after All Schools, the Associated and Catholic Colleges 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 that they were required to run in were appalling but with smiles on their faces and courage in their hearts the team battled tirelessly all day. It was outstanding to see the level of support and encouragement offered to each team member during every race. There were some outstanding performances on the day with Izaac Coubrough placing first in the Inclusive Boys category and earning himself a position on the ACC All Star’s Team, and Kale Arena finishing third in the Under 13 boys’

category. Other honourable mentions are Ky Hehir placing seventh, Elliott Tither coming eighth, Luke Strahan 18th and Thomas Maycock-Hansen placing 24th in their year group categories.

Overall the Cross Country Season was a success, with great leadership from Asher Hwight, Thomas Maycock-Hansen, Anthony Romeri 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 building on what we accomplished this year by continuing to have a strong level of commitment at training.

Finally, a massive thank you to Miss Lisa Tognolini, who provided great assistance whilst pregnant, Mr Daniel Kennedy for filling the void left when Miss Tognolini left on maternity leave, and Mr Jeremy Peris for often starting the toast cooking at College before we arrived back from our run.

Unfortunately, we lost our star midfielder, Zacharie Boglio, with a severe facial injury on the eve of the ACC Hockey Challenge. The team worked extremely hard in his absence and managed to finish equal top of their pool with John XXIII College, level pegging with them 1-1 in their fourth game of the day. Our team went on to beat Newman College 1-0 in the cross-over semi-final and faced JTC again in the final. The opposition jumped out of the blocks quickly and scored two goals before the half-time break, which made it very difficult for our tired side to recover the momentum and deficit.

Year 10 student Cooper Martin overcame the back problem that hindered him in 2018 and played solidly for the entire day. His

efforts were rewarded along with Bradley Dowie as the Best and Fairest Players for the senior team this season.

They are always fun-loving and wellmannered, which makes us feel like our efforts are appreciated. Thanks also to Mr Pickford for helping with coaching, Mrs Faichney for helping with breakfast and Mr Bourke for coming out and capturing all the action on his camera.

E D U C A T I O N

This year we entered the following carnivals and had some very good results:

and Daniel Page, supported by Vice-Captain Ethan Contera.

All three young men attended morning training sessions and led by example in drills and on the field. Because Hockey still remains a minor sport and is non-contact, we were able to train as an entire squad allowing lower school boys to test themselves against Years 11 and 12. This led to many lower school boys, including Year 7 Jacob Wood, being selected to represent the First XI at the ACC Hockey Challenge and David Bell Cup.

L I B E R A T I N G

This year, two additional junior carnivals were added to the CBC Hockey calendar, which meant our players were given more opportunities to represent their school, develop their skills and forge closer bonds with team mates. We also added Mr Mike Pickford, new Director of Student Leadership, to our coaching staff. Mr Pickford joined the college from Mazenod College and he injected a good dose of enthusiasm and hockey knowledge into early morning training sessions and carnivals.

We also had eight Year 7 boys join our squad, which is the greatest number of Hockey players to join the College in the last seven years.

What is more outstanding is that each boy can count the missed training sessions on one hand over three-quarters of the year.

This is a typical routine for three mornings a week and, combined with after-school training sessions, their commitment is now starting to bring success in the All Schools Regattas.

their fellow rowers. The boys were actively engaged in their own fundraising and boat maintenance and are wholeheartedly supported by a wonderful parent group and the senior members of the Fremantle Rowing Club. Rowing is a whole-body sport that requires a great deal of discipline, fitness and strength. This has been instilled in the boys since day one of their first rowing session and they have revelled in it.

The Year 7/8 A team had an outstanding season in 2019. They remained undefeated in all four games, winning three and drawing one. The boys demonstrated excellent teamwork, determination, spirit and organisation during the whole season. In the game against Emmanuel College, they particularly demonstrated perseverance and a will to win by clawing back from 2-1 down to gain a draw.

Despite the lack of success on the board, the B team’s soccer season was characterised by determined effort and a never-say-die attitude.

Our first game was against Corpus Christi College; it took us a little time to settle and Corpus scored early on in the game. We immediately made some changes to shore up the back line but they scored again off a penalty early on in the second half. Then they got a third. CBC were playing well but not getting any reward for effort.

We kept pressing and eventually Senna Lacey-Searles (Year 8) slotted the ball in the back of the net after a great solo run. For the last five to 10 minutes we were peppering the goal and somehow the ball came off Scott Pinzone

The team was an absolute pleasure to coach and manage.

It was excellent to see students supporting and encouraging each other on and off the pitch.

It is important to recognise the contribution from the whole squad, who all contributed to the success achieved.

Finally, a massive thank you to our young soccer players, whose enthusiasm for the game and sportsmanship on and off the field are true characteristics of a CBC gentlemen. Well done, boys!

YEARS 7/8 A VERSUS CORPUS CHRISTI COLLEGE

For the second game we were playing away against Emmanuel College. This was a classic David and Goliath battle; the Emmanuel players were literally twice the size of our boys. For the first 15 minutes the boys were playing well and our formation was holding up. However, as the game wore on we started losing the midfield battle and Emmanuel were penetrating through our back line and managing to set themselves up into scoring positions. They eventually found a way to score and by half-time we were down 0-2. CBC was playing fair soccer, but we were turning the ball over a lot. We conceded two more goals in the second half and it could have

been a lot more were it not for the determined effort of the boys. Tyler Firth was the man of the match – he made many great saves to keep the score line respectable.

We were away to Lumen Christi College in our penultimate game.

Lumen boys were again about twice our size and had the pace, skills and strength to match. It was always going to be a tough game. Initially our boys held their ground and for about the first 15 minutes we were competing well.

Eventually Lumen broke through our defence and scored their first goal. After they scored it became increasingly difficult to stop their advance. The boys battled hard and never stopped fighting, but at the end of the hour Lumen had scored eight goals. The boys learned a lot from the experience, and Daniel Browning (Year 7) was our star player.

The final game was the derby against the CBC A team. It was a wild blustery and rainy day and both teams were undermanned.

Despite this, we played on a full pitch and the game was pretty even-handed during the early stages. Both sides had a number of chances on goal. Darcy Pittson (Year 8) made some great stops in goal, but it was the A team that was the first to score. It continued to be a very competitive game, but the B side’s ball use let them down and by the second half they found themselves 0-3. However, the B side were not going to give up and late on in the second half Charlie Neesham (Year 7) was set up for a goal. Despite the score lines the boys can be very proud of their efforts.

Under a new competition format, the Intermediate A Soccer team had a very successful season, going undefeated through their three games. Captained by the marauding centre-half Joseph Teixeira (Year 10) and assisted by the crafty midfielder Lucas Rossi (Year 10), the team were well organised at the back and deadly up front.

The Senior Soccer team dominated early on with convincing wins against Lumen Christi, Emmanuel, Corpus Christi and St Norbert Colleges. In attack they were exceptional, scoring 24 goals. In defence they remained solid, only conceding five goals. The boys’ efforts meant they progressed into the elimination round against Rehoboth College, resulting in a convincing win of 3-1. The boys were through to the next stage of the competition but, despite a good start to the game, Kingsway College came out on top. Although a disappointing end to the season, all boys should be exceptionally proud of their efforts both on and off the pitch.

The season kicked off with a 5-1 victory over Corpus Christi College. Corpus had no answer for Michael Scafetta (Year 9) who controlled the game like a master chess player. Tristan Jensen (Year 9) was the cool, calm and collected presence at the back that allowed our midfielders and forwards to play with freedom.

Shot stopper Jed Stafford (Year 9) kept a clean sheet in front of a speedy Lumen Christi attack in the second game of the season. Anton Rodeghiero (Year 9) and Tyrell De Alvis’s (Year 10) play down the wings opened up the pitch and allowed our attack to bang in three goals at the other end.

A thrilling 8-3 win over the CBC Intermediate B team capped off a tremendous season for the boys. Charlie Green was prolific in a creative role, dealing 40-yard cross-field assists and sending an unstoppable free kick into the top bins.

134

The boys should feel proud of the way they represented the College this year. They played attractive, free-flowing football with a fearlessness that allowed them to score 16 goals in three games.

We wish the Year 10 boys all the best as they move on to the Senior side next year and look forward to the Year 9 boys building on all the talent they have already shown.

Congratulations to our Best and Fairest Alex Pietroniro and runnerup Christian Gentile for their outstanding efforts this year.

THE SURFING TEAM DURING COMPETITION

SURFING MR CHRIS SELLINGS SURFING COACH

The boys were also trained in competitive surfing with Surfing WA at Trigg Beach, providing an opportunity to score each other and learn how to gain maximum points in the upcoming competitions. The training paid off, with CBC surfers scoring very well across all fields at the WA School Surfing Titles held on 20 August at Trigg Beach and qualifying for the state championship.

At the end of the year, the annual Ben Foley Surfing Award was presented to Finn Hussey for being a positive role model during all of the surf training sessions and competitions. Finn was an inspiration in his quest for personal excellence while maintaining mutual respect and understanding of the differences between individuals.

During the year we were sorry to bid farewell to our head surfing coach, Mr Frank McTernan, whose commitment to Surfing at CBC left us with a strong and dedicated team. Mr McTernan’s presence at the beach was sorely missed, but our students continued to give it their all and we are proud of their determination and resilience.

Training commenced in earnest, with the students departing the College at 6am, often arriving at the break in the dark with only moonlight to guide them as they set up their area and were briefed about the conditions of the day. The boys would then hit the water, with happy faces all round no matter how many waves were caught.

Coming up against Margaret River High School was unfortunate, and the boys were knocked out of the state competition in the first round, but their professionalism never wavered.

If you’re going to go down, losing to the surfing legends at Margs is an acceptable way to go!

L I B E R A T I N G

There was a huge interest in Surfing at CBC this year, with more than 60 boys expressing interest in getting up before dawn in very chilly temperatures to hit the waves with coaches Mr Chris Dix, Mr Frank McTernan and Mr Chris Sellings.

Twenty surfers and bodyboarders were selected for the final team, and the fun began.

It was Rice House who were victorious at the end of the day after a fierce contest right down to the final relays.

Super swimmers Samson fought valiantly but just fell short and O’Connor could not back up their maiden victory from 2018. Patrick House continued their drought at the pool and made it 21 years since their last win; 2020 may be the year for the boys in green to get back onto the winner’s list.

We had a number of races in the 25-metre pool with students competing in bodyboard and tube races, along with the water displacement competition being completed in the main pool between events.

There were some outstanding individual performances across the day with three boys breaking long standing CBC records. Kale Arena set a new Under 13 Butterfly record, completing the race in 34.43 seconds. Declan Mould swam the Under 13 Backstroke in 35.05 seconds and Tex Sjerp set a new Open 50m Freestyle record with a swim of 24.92 seconds.

Q UAD MEET

A DI VI S I O N AC C

The Quad meet is an opportunity for CBC to test themselves against Hale School, Guildford Grammar and Aquinas College and was held on Thursday 7 March at HBF Stadium, with CBC hosting the 2019 event.

The ACC swim squad arrived at HBF Stadium on Wednesday 27 March prepared for what lay ahead and well aware of what it was going to take to get their name on the trophy.

As hosts for the evening, CBC had a large number of staff assisting who deserve a huge thank you: Mr Gary Bailey, Mr John Black, Mr Domenic Burgio, Miss Ali Connell, Mrs Chantelle Edwards, Mr Garry Hart, Mrs Jenny Knox, Ms Marriann O’Neill, Mr Zachary Preston, Mr John Rear and Mr Ben Shaw.

There were also some outstanding individual performances with Declan Mould runner-up in the Under 13s, Harrison Alliss runnerup in the Under 14s and Tex Sjerp runner-up in the Open Boys.

The success of the swim team in 2019 could not have happened without the support of the staff who prepared the boys so well at training and on the day of the carnivals. Thank you to Mr Garry Hart, Mr Zachary Preston, Mr John Rear and Mr Ben Shaw.

A big shout out to our Canteen Manager, Mrs Karen Spence, who provided breakfast for all of our swimmers after each morning session.

E D U C A T I O N

It was a dominant Hale School who won the meet but CBC finished third overall and very close to Aquinas in second position. This carnival was a perfect preparation for the ACC A Division Carnival held later in Term 1.

CBC took out the Junior and Overall boys’ shields for the day and placed second in the Senior Boys’ category. It was a real team effort that every member of the squad should be proud of.

L I B E R A T I N G

Harnessing the excitement from the House Carnival, it was a quick turnaround with very limited time to select the squad for the night.

The CBC boys competed well, showing a strong performance across the evening.

TENNIS MISS ALI CONNELL TENNIS COACH

During the first few weeks of school, both junior and senior tennis players at the school were invited to register their interest to compete in the Herbert Edwards and Slazenger Cup. The response was huge and resulted in by far the largest group to participate in the trials. After weeks of early morning training sessions, the teams were reduced to 15 students in the junior and senior divisions respectively. This meant that we were able to take three teams to both the junior and senior event at Robertson Park Tennis Club.

All of our teams played some great tennis at the competitions and displayed an outstanding level of sportsmanship. The top junior team was led by Jack Eastaugh (Year 9), who displayed a high level of skill throughout the day. James Davis (Year 8) is also commended on his outstanding tennis, having some great wins. The senior team was led by Adam Correia (Year 12), who has been a stand-out at these events year after year. He had another great day at the Slazenger Cup and held his own against the very talented group of opponents he and his team faced.

The teaching staff at CBC provide many different types of learning experiences for their students, from traditional lessons where the teacher is the focus to the classes where the boys are the leaders. The difference in learning styles of students is catered for by the variety of lessons provided. The fact that each student has a computer does not guarantee the users will benefit educationally.

148

The challenge for 21st century teaching and learning environments is to provide students with the tools they will need for a rapidly changing society and workforce.

Collaboration, adapting to rapid change and critical thinking are some of the modern skills required for our future workforce.

The e-Learning department at CBC this year has continued to develop from progress made in 2018.

Students are now much more engaged with technology as part of their learning and this improved awareness is due largely to the teaching staff embracing new ideas and challenging their students to step outside of their comfort zones.

The collaborative nature of cloud-based computing with shared documents, notebooks and Microsoft Teams has

become part of the classroom experience. Expression of ideas across all learning areas has been enhanced by more and more students choosing multimedia as a way of presenting ideas that have been traditionally paperbased. Electronic posters, videos, podcasts and images are now becoming part of the typical learning experience.

Virtual Reality was introduced to the classroom in Semester Two this year and is growing in popularity with staff and students alike. The VR headsets allow students to be taken to other parts of the world, into different physical environments and to be immersed in many situations that would not normally be possible.

The sobering reality of a World War II Concentration Camp and a tour of the British Parliament are two examples of the experiences shared with our students, not to mention a lap of a Grand Prix circuit in a Red Bull formula one car!

In developing the Strategic Directions for the College, e-Learning and associated technologies are foremost in the minds of the College Leadership Team. We all look forward to the continued link between the education process at CBC and the 21st century challenges that loom ahead.

TECHNOLOGIES MR CRAIG JORDAN HEAD OF TECHNOLOGIES

As the world of digital technology constantly changes, students need to be kept up to date with the latest trends, software and methods. At CBC we are always evolving our programmes to suit the needs of our students and introduce as many innovative learning experiences as we can. This year boys in Year 10 have embarked on learning experiences in Game Creation using Unity; Year 9 students tried their hand at App Creation, and Year 8 classes learnt how to code with Python. We also purchased class sets of VR headsets and drones to give students a hands-on and exciting approach to Digital Technologies. Years 11 and 12 students are now able to choose both an ATAR pathway by studying Applied information Technology, or a VET pathway by studying Certificate III in Information, Digital Media and Technology over two years.

CATERING

It was a busy and productive year for Catering students too as they participated with enthusiasm in classroom programmes and practical events. Catering and the Year 10 boys participated in Christian Service Learning, producing a huge quantity of Chow Mein for local families in need.

Catering was also heavily involved in the staff service day, where a number of CBC staff came together to cook for families in need and provide a large quantity of prepared meals to this worthy cause.

The Year 7 students have been involved in learning basic skills as they work through demonstrations and practical cooking sessions before finally taking pride in the production of their finished results. Selected classes also cooked Anzac biscuits with their parents during Technologies week.

Year 8 Food Technology classes have fully engaged in the Healthy and Sustainable Foods unit. Students learned to work cooperatively to produce good food and develop their practical skills in the kitchen and knowledge of hygiene and safety. The International Foods unit provided Year 9 students with a very diverse and culturally valuable experience as they cooked dishes related to different countries. They researched the cuisine of several major international food cultures and

Cake decorating in the last term of Year 10 provided a fun-filled, creative and collaborative ‘bon voyage’ to the students’ catering journey. Throughout the year boys covered dough-making, deep-frying, rice paper rolling techniques and desserts. They also explored the diversity of different meats and incorporated them into boutique salads and international cuisine. They especially enjoyed learning chocolate decorating techniques, experimenting with fondant and butter icing, and designing and producing a themed cake that would delight children and adults alike. Students across all years learnt how to garnish and present their dishes attractively. They were very proud of their finished product, which were all of a very high standard.

D E SIG N TE C H N O L O G I E S

We had another highly productive year in the Design Technologies subjects, with a continued push towards teaching our students vital critical and creative thinking skills. The Year 7 Materials course has taken on a STEM approach, where students were challenged to find solutions to problems using everyday items, recycled and repurposed materials, and have learnt about the impact of the waste that the whole school generates. Years 8, 9 and 10 workshop subjects focussed on items for the home and workshop, with projects such as chopping boards, stools, tools, tool boxes and cabinets, with at least one project fully designed and planned by the student themselves. Years 11 and 12 Woodwork continued designing and making fine furniture, with many wonderful pieces being made. The Year 11 course concentrated on table design and manufacture, including drawers, inlays and additional shelves.

Year 12 students designed and manufactured bar stools, bed boxes, and entertainment units. Some work from students this year has been of exceptional quality and included some wonderful creative and innovative designs. Years 11 and 12 Metalwork is now studied in Certificate II Engineering Pathways over two years, which prepares students for life beyond school by completing a TAFE level course. Students were taught vital metalwork and fabrication skills that would be beneficial in most manual trades, and the boys manufactured some good quality workshop tools and lovely artistic homewares. It is always a pleasure to see the proud faces of these students as they complete their work and take it home.

As we look to 2020, further improvements are planned for our workshops, with the original metalwork room receiving a renovation at the end of this year to be ready for use in Term 1. The renovation consists of repair to the concrete floor and a coat of industrial paint, all new work benches with increased space and storage, three new metalwork lathes, and a new cold saw.

In 2019 we farewelled Mr Mitch Di Virgilio who departed after relieving for Mrs Emslie and Mrs Vanessa Bacich.

I thank Mr Di Virgilio for all his work in the Technologies department and wish him all the best for the future.

I also would like to thank all Technologies staff for their hard work, dedication and commitment to our students throughout the year.

E D U C A T I O N

In addition, we welcomed two new permanent Design and Technologies teachers to our department. Mr Chris Sellings and Mr David Von Felten have brought new and exciting ideas and projects to our already dedicated team of teachers. This year we brought back the popular event during Technologies week, where parents of Years 7 and 9 students were invited to join in with their son’s class for a day, and also enjoy a morning tea with the teachers. The day was a wonderful success and a great opportunity to meet our parents and include them in our creative and practical world of Technologies.

then prepared and sampled the food of India, China, Japan, France and Italy, and a British High Tea. Students also had the opportunity to design and create their own international dish inspired by the unit.

L I B E R A T I N G

Another year has flown by, and the Technologies department has once again been very busy with our Digital Technologies, Design Technologies and Catering classes. This year we commissioned our latest metalwork room, which includes a large array of industry-standard equipment, making it a top-quality facility for our students to learn in. This takes our facilities to two metalwork rooms, two woodwork rooms, two Design Technologies flexible learning spaces and a Catering facility. The renovations and additions to these rooms over the last few years have enabled us to improve the skills and project work of all of our students.

With the advent of today’s students being required to stay at school longer, in 2019 we put a greater importance on work experience and trade qualifications for our boys to gain more opportunities in the workforce.

In 2019 there were 79 Certificate II, three Certificate III, and 40 Certificate IV courses successfully completed at the College, including Engineering, Technical Graphics, Woodwork, Sampling and Measurement, Business, ICT, Sport and Recreation, and Outdoor Education.

This amazing achievement could not be possible without a dedicated group of teachers who have worked above and beyond their normal load to integrate these VET certificates into WACE courses. This additional work greatly enhanced our students’ employment prospects in an increasingly volatile employment market.

This year the Try-a-Trade programme provided 20 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, further guiding their career paths or passion.

We were pleased to have our students recognised at the WorldSkills Western Australia competition with Finn Hussey and Riley Lawrence (both Year 11) receiving medals in the metals and engineering section. Riley’s gold medal means he now begins preparations for the national final, to be held in Perth next year.

Kiwirrkurra MISS EMILY BOWRAN KIWIRRKURRA IMMERSION LEADER

Kiwirrkurra is one of Australia’s most remote communities, located in the Gibson Desert on the border of Western Australia and the Northern Territory. CBC is blessed to have a long-standing relationship with the people and school there, and this year another 10 Year 11 students were fortunate enough to spend a week immersing themselves in one of the world’s oldest and richest cultures.

The journey to Kiwirrkurra is always an adventurous one, with unsealed roads, potholes and red dirt as far as the eye can see. This year was made all the more interesting thanks to our bus, Sweet Caroline, and her temperamental nature. However, not even getting bogged, breaking down, and having to hitch a ride into the community in an ambulance troopie could dampen the group’s spirits.

Our arrival was greeted with much excitement and it wasn’t long before the inquisitive local children started to make their way across to meet the next batch of CBC gentlemen who had come to visit.

First order of business was to head to the oval to learn names, kick the footy and give the first of countless piggyback rides.

During the week every opportunity was taken to immerse ourselves in the culture, with the aim of learning as much as possible. Activities included visiting classrooms to work with the children, running sport sessions, visiting the Arts Centre and Women’s Centre, cooking meals for the sick

and elderly, visiting culturally significant places, and training with the local football team.

The highlight of the immersion was the bush trip, where the staff and students from the Kiwirrkurra Remote Community School, the staff and students from CBC and many of the community’s elders went out together looking for witchetty grubs. Many boys had a chance to try this new delicacy, along with some goanna and kangaroo tail.

The immersion also offered multiple opportunities for our boys to reflect on their daily activities and interactions. ‘Family’ dinners and group discussions allowed them to share new perspectives and insights and articulate how much the week meant to them. It was obvious that each and every Year 11 student had an experience that they would never forget.

A huge thank you to Mr Daniel Kennedy and Mr Jeremy Peris who accompanied the boys on their journey. Their guidance, support and encouragement was unwavering and greatly appreciated. Thank you also goes to Newcrest Mining and the amazing work they do with their community relations and backing this initiative.

Finally, words cannot express our gratitude towards the people of Kiwirrkurra who always make us feel welcome and are so open to sharing their lives and culture with us.

Immersions are one way in which we can walk the streets of the world with our brothers and sisters. It is a life-changing shared exchange, where one is immersed into the faith, culture and daily life of another. Immersion is about walking alongside individuals who are initially perceived as the ‘other’ – learning from each other, in a way that challenges stereotypical views and inspires growth.

158

There were 17 participants in the Peru Immersion, including nine Year 11 students: Francisco Cruzado, Axel Damitz, Rhys Doig, Patrick Hart, Lincoln Kerspien, Grayson King, Jimmy McKenzie, Benjamin Shales and Jackson Young. The boys were accompanied by four parents – Frank Cruzado, Jane King, David McKenzie and Colin Young – alongside our Principal, Mr Domenic Burgio and his son Seve, and two College staff, Miss Lana De Palma and Miss Maria Garbin.

One week prior to our arrival in Lima, we learnt of the sudden passing of Br Paul Keohane, who was to lead our immersion group

in Peru. Br Paul dedicated the last 10 years of his life working with the families from the hills surrounding Lima, accompanying them in their daily struggles and he will be greatly missed. Fortunately, Br Steve Casey was able to adjust his schedule to lead our group and we continued as planned.

The first stop for the group was Cusco to explore the Sacred Valley, trekking to the Sun Gate and visiting one of the wonders of the world, Machu Picchu. Then it was on to the main purpose of the visit with a flight back to Lima where we were met by Br Steve and whisked off to the Christian Brothers’ home.

On our first day in Lima, Br Steve broke us up into three groups and challenged us to go out, explore and map out our section of San Juan Lurigancho, in which live 1.8 million people. He wanted us to note all of the services we would require if we lived in the local area. The purpose of the activity was to provoke thought about the needs of the local community and highlight the poverty of the people, which may not be visible from the outset.

Following this we were introduced to Jorge, who arrived several years ago from Venezuela with his family.

Jorge guided us on a historic tour of Lima which included the spectacular Basilica y Convento de San Francisco on St Francis’ Feast Day. The evening concluded with the group learning more about Jorge’s story: the difficult journey he took to seek a safer home in Peru, the lack of security he and his family first experienced and the road ahead that still exists.

We then spent the next four days living and working in Jicamarca, which is on the outskirts of Lima in the hills. Jose and his family welcomed us all with open arms.

The group was introduced to Wily, Janet and Jarrick, together with the family, and we spent three days leveling the hill to make space for their home. On our last day in Jicamarca we were introduced to the Sisters of Charity and, under their guidance, we spent the morning painting three homes for local families.

Once the painting was finished we returned to the Brothers’ house and the next day we visited Fe Y Alegria 26, an Edmund Rice school in the Canto Grande Region of Lima. After our morning lessons

Accompanied by three CBC staff – Mr Garry Hart, Mrs Carol Denny and Ms Sarah Grant – the boys travelled to Maasin, located on the coast of Southern Leyte and an eight-hour boat ride from the hustle and bustle of the city of Cebu.

Maasin City has the highest percentage of people living in poverty in the Leyte Islands and the majority live in the surrounding mountains. Under the guidance of Edmund Rice Ministries headed up by Brother Graham Leech CFC, the intrepid travellers were introduced to the locals and worked alongside the community planting trees to assist with environmental issues, visiting schools and playing with the children, learning sign language at the Special Education School for the Deaf, attending Mass and learning more about how Catholicism was

brought to the county by the Spanish, and sharing many, many meals with their new friends.

The students were fully engaged with the extraordinary experience, reflecting on the simple lifestyles of the Filipinos with their strong family and community ties and the differences between their own lives and homes.

Filipino nurses Christian Dorias and Roudolf Gelaga accompanied the group everywhere, helping the boys to become quite proficient at the local Bisaya language.

Students who attended the immersion were: Saxon Battams Zachary Comerford Thomas Maycock-Hansen Joshua Palmiero Brandon Shepherd Yamato Yap

HIGHLIGHTS FROM CANBERRA

CANBERRA MS MARILYN SCHMIDT AEP COORDINATOR

Over the Easter break a group of CBC students ventured to the nation’s capital to explore the many opportunities it holds to achieve excellence in every field.

The 2019 Academic Excellence Programme (AEP) Canberra Tour began with a visit to Old Parliament House, with students gaining a unique insight into the roots of Australia’s democracy. Budding politicians in the group even had the chance to participate in a mock debate on the floor of the House of Representatives – the very same room where thousands of decisions that shaped Australia as a nation were made.

The day of democracy continued with a guided tour of the High Court by a retired Constitutional solicitor, whose vast knowledge of the legal system and the building that houses Australia’s most senior judicial minds captivated the imaginations of the boys.

Students also explored Parliament House, where they saw a replica of the Magna Carta, marvelled at portraits of Prime Ministers and even had the chance to walk on the iconic grassy roof of the hub of Australia’s government.

There was plenty on offer for future scientists in the group of 31 students as well, with visits to the Deep Space Communication Complex, which is part of NASA’s international network, as well as GeoScience Australia, where the boys met with seismologists who monitor tectonic movement around the globe.

Designed to complement the College’s STEAM curriculum, the tour also included a visit to CSIRO to learn about current research that could change the world, and Mt Stromlo Observatory to discover the wonders of the universe, including the recently released first image of a black hole.

Of course, a school trip to Canberra wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Questacon, which immersed the boys in science and technology.

162

Cultural experiences also formed an important part of the tour. Students viewed Jackson Pollock’s Blue Poles and heard stories from Aboriginal artists at the National Art Gallery, before experiencing the wonder of the National Arboretum, which is home to more than 90 forests of rare, endangered and symbolic trees from around the globe.

The National Museum provided a unique look into Australian history, with displays including Phar Lap’s heart, a prototype of the Australian-invented bionic ear and articles that provided insight into the 65,000 year-old history of the first Australians.

A particular highlight of the tour was time spent at the Australian War Memorial less than a week before Anzac Day. Students were given the chance to reflect on the long-lasting impacts of war and the massive toll conflict has on Australian society as a whole.

For sports buffs, the Australian Institute of Sport surely provided some memorable moments, as the group enjoyed a unique behind-the-scenes look at how some of Australia’s most elite athletes train, as well as the huge amount of science that goes into ensuring they can perform at their best.

Despite a jam-packed schedule, there was also plenty of time for sightseeing – both at night, overlooking the lights of the city from Telstra Tower, and during the day, enjoying the view from Mt Ainsley, which provides a picture-perfect layout of the intricately planned city that began as the brainchild of American architects Walter and Marion Griffin.

Every element of the tour was designed to show the boys where their excellence can take them and open their eyes to the many opportunities to make a difference in the world that are available to them, both in Australia and around the globe.

Respect for women is a major part of our Rite Journey programme, and with the continuing rise of social media discussions around this topic have never been more important. Mr Peris took this on board when he spent a lesson discussing the treatment of AFLW superstar Tayla Harris with his TRJ boys, before they attempted the #TaylaKickChallenge. Outstanding work, gentlemen – these are the conversations that will make a difference in the world.

Miss Bowran employed creative methods in her Year 7 English class by using Sao crackers and Vegemite to help boys remember the mnemonic SAAO – a useful tool when analysing characters.

Looks like a great way to study!

When I was first approached by Mr Pickford to make a speech at this year’s graduation, during lunch in the Year 12 courtyard, I was initially hesitant to say yes. Hesitant to add just another thing to do during a busy couple of months and most of all hesitant to have the confidence to speak in front of a full gym on such a memorable occasion. However, then the experience and honour of the request began to dawn on me.

our shirt. Although this was often a painful daily routine on the way out of school, it is only upon reflection that we can begin to express gratitude for the constant persistence. Not only because walking out of school with our tie up, top button done and shirt tucked in made us look smart, it was also a symbol of discipline. The requirement of a tie every day in winter was just a sign of discipline and a way to ensure that we all graduate as gentlemen.

Over the last couple of weeks, on reflection of the last six years at the College I have begun to understand the extraordinary journey that started in this exact gym in February of 2014, and while that might sound like a long time ago for some, for others it feels like only yesterday.

As we get to the pointy end of our schooling, it seemed the tie was constantly strangling us in a way that it felt like every day was in repeat, the same subjects, six times a day with the only difference being what we were learning. I have had the fortunate experience over the last couple of years of having some wonderful teachers: Mrs Lawlor and her joyful dancing and jumping around the Science lab three times a week; English classes where the teachers always seemed to join in on our friendly banter, and I was fortunate to have Mr Leicester, where it seemed every lesson we would have a different class conversation. Mr Binet seemed to love his Star Wars theme in his ‘Broken Dreams’ playlist every time he would return an assessment; Mr Silveira’s ‘Cookie Friday’ became prominent this year, which was always a winner straight after lunch; the Monday morning footy talk with the Doc; and Ms Schmidt, well, those South African donuts were amazing! But that’s enough about me; every teacher at this school always seemed to relieve a bit of the pressure that seemed constant around our neck thanks to our ties.

High school for me has been exciting, bumpy, thrilling and even strangling at times. Hence my symbol – a tie. A basic Google search comes up with the explanation that says, “A tie refers to the connection or linking between people and their communities.”

It is this definition that relates a tie to a personal connection with this school, a connection that will be long lasting.

We can all remember the first day we had to put on a CBC tie; it was in Year 7 and has been strangling us ever since! The tie was a sign to our Year 7 selves that we were growing up; we were finally big kids, ready to start our next stage of schooling. Shortly after starting we quickly learned the ropes of the school, learned our place among older year groups and the novelty of wearing a tie every day in winter was still going strong. We started playing games, like the good old ‘peanutting a friend’s tie’ game, which was simply pulling someone else’s tie for no apparent reason except to make them then just retie it. And although the idea would drive all the teachers up the walls at recess and lunch, it was certainly a good way of learning just how many people still couldn’t tie a tie!

168

As we got older and into Years 9 and 10, the whole new school business had worn off. We were well and truly into the daily routine of high school and although study was slowly getting harder, we all started to settle and became more comfortable in our friendship groups. With the pressures of school and the harder work ethic, we would often finish the day exhausted. We would walk out the front gate after a long day, often not in the best mood, with our tie hanging down and ready to just get home, only to be stopped by Mr Burgio on the way out to fix our tie, do up our top button or tuck in

So, as many of you take off your tie for the last time tonight, and others on Sunday night or after your WACE exams, take a moment to reflect on your own last six years at CBC. That tie is a symbol of your connection to this community that has been your friend, your teacher, your mentor and your support. It reminds us that, while sometimes we may feel stifled and constricted, by being disciplined and determined we can grow beyond those barriers and be a much better person – a CBC gentleman.

I came to CBC in Year 7 with only one other person from my primary school. It felt like I had arrived at a whole new world, with new responsibilities and expectations, those of which I struggled to meet. In my first year, I received more homework slips than I did homework, and found myself struggling to find my position within the College; it didn’t help having to be in an office every second lunch. Year 8 was just the same, but I began using my size to inhibit others’ learning experiences and in turn spoiling possible future friendships. I truly thought I was the class clown, until it dawned on me that I was being laughed at, not my jokes. I was in Mr Burgio’s office almost daily, receiving a muffin and a coke along with his advice every time, but those words of wisdom were just not sinking in.

170

Year 9 was the year that introduces my symbol – the torch. A torch can produce a burning fire through a single spark. Once a torch is lit, it doesn’t stop burning until a greater force puts it out. A torch is passed around and its heat and light can draw people in and shelter them.

A torch lights the way, letting the bearer see where they are headed, even if just for a little distance ahead of them. This very light is the same as the one that burns within me, as I have to come to learn the true meaning of compassion, empathy and leadership.

Now, my mindset is my torch, the constant burning drive I have to succeed was lit by my history of failure. As a man standing here now, I truly see and am disappointed by many of my actions when I was younger, but I do not regret the decisions that

PRYCE GORDON AT GRADUATION

This was my spark. The torch was lit.

As Year 10 rolled around my grades increased tremendously and I began making my way up the academic food chain and finally found my place within school. My home life improved and I finally realised and appreciated the things that my mum has provided for me. Through her endless support and love I have grown and shaped myself into the man I hope she wants me to be. I went from the bottom of Maths and worked my way up to Extension; I may not have passed the final grade, but there was not a lack of effort present. Throughout the year other things also improved. I eventually made more friends and developed better relationships with peers and staff at the College. Through my own mistakes and actions, I became aware of my surroundings, and by Year 11 I was on track for Dux, General of course, but

missed out and it was given to a good friend of mine who was more deserving. These few lessons showed me the true importance of effort and only helped my torch burn brighter.

By Year 12, through the help of teachers and my peers, I was on track to actually graduating – a sight that my teachers in the younger years may not have ever thought possible. But even better than that, I was no longer the butt of the joke. I came in to contact with my dad and, through the support of my friends and Mum, I have developed a relationship with him. My life feels like it has completely turned around and I feel really excited about what the future holds.

My torch continues to shine brighter every day. It only took a small spark to become a great flame and to those friends and teachers here tonight who pushed me to be that flame, I thank you.

And thank you to the graduating Class of 2019 who have been with me every step of the way.

“ The torch shows me that I have learned from my mistakes – finally, but definitely not too late – and learning from our own mistakes makes it so much more powerful.”

Year 9 marked the year that we give up our childish ways of thinking and began our journey into manhood. However, for me and a few of my classmates, it marked the year where we lost ourselves. I grew up with my lovely mother and sister, with my only father figure being my late grandfather. I often questioned what a man was, and found myself the butt of the joke when it came to Dad jokes. Every joke hit harder than the one before, with my image of a man taking the hits.

My young imagination exaggerated the way I viewed a father and a man and this masculine figure began to deteriorate and take on negative aspects. I became aggressive and violent, often missing school or getting into altercations. At this point I had a choice to either follow the same destructive path and end up at the bottom of the leaderboard, or to clean up my act and become the man I dreamed of being but in all honesty was frightened of becoming. It seemed easier to just keep doing what I was doing,

and my last resort was the same man who gave me a muffin after a fight. In Year 9, Mr Burgio and The Rite Journey Programme guided me along the rocky adventure that is adolescence and pointed me in the right direction. At this point, I truly realised how small actions can completely change and affect a mindset.

Night of nights for CBC gentlemen The calibre of CBC Fremantle’s Year 12 gentlemen was on show at the much-anticipated College Ball as they celebrated a night to remember on the road to graduation.

More than 100 young men and their guests followed the red carpet into Fremantle’s iconic Esplanade Hotel for the night of nights, where they were greeted

by CBC Principal Mr Domenic Burgio and his wife Antonella, as well as College Captain Alexander Buckland and his partner Meagan Cruikshank.

After mingling on the dance floor with welcoming mocktails, Alex opened the evening, speaking of the importance of the event as an opportunity to celebrate the cohort’s brotherhood, the year ahead, and to put their impeccable social etiquette on show. College Vice-Captain, Benjamin Lye, led the gathering in prayer before dinner was served.

172

The spacious Southern Cross Ballroom was a rainbow of colour, with both ladies and gents showcasing their diverse fashion tastes as a delicious buffet dinner and delectable desserts were served. It wasn’t long before the dancefloor came alive, with the DJ spinning some of the latest hits, mixed in with a healthy serving of old favourites.

Two formal dancing sets provided tomorrow’s gentlemen and their partners the chance to show off the skills they had been polishing for most of the term, with only a little help from their instructors, Miss Emily Bowran and Mrs Keely Laing, who had rushed to the event after spending the day on Rottnest with the College’s Year 7 students.

Before long the limousines returned to whisk the young men and their partners into the night, providing a fitting end to an evening to remember.

The College Ball is an important milestone for CBC gentlemen, providing students with the opportunity to demonstrate and develop positive relationships with their partners and their peers as they continue their journey into adulthood.
