Mr Shaun Kenny Principal

To encourage the development of a selfless attitude in each of our students the College must constantly review its policies and practices to ensure that they are properly directed. Specifically, it is essential that every boy at this school experiences a sense of belonging, is willing to make commitments and is accountable for his own decisions.

“At CBC Fremantle we strive to assist families in the development of young men who challenge the secular and often selfdestructive values which they encounter as part of mainstream society.�
