What CBC boys like about books... Next week, the English department is thrilled to host several exciting events as part of their ‘Fellas in Film’ focus, including a visit from critically acclaimed Australian author and screenwriter, Phillip Gwynne, whose novel Deadly, Unna? was subsequently produced as the thought-provoking movie, Australian Rules. Six Year 10 English Extension boys took the time to share their thoughts on the experience of the novel to film process, and their favourite book of all time.

A taste of things to come... To encourage your contributions to the CBC cookbook, every fortnight we will provide you with a tasty recipe from the CBC community that your boys are bound to love.
Mussels in Chilli Tomato Sauce from Greg Hayes My son, who completed his schooling at CBC in 2013, and I love sharing chilli mussels. Below is one of recipes we like to use. Ingredients for 4 people 2 tablespoons of olive oil 1 brown onion, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, crushed 2 small red chillies, finely chopped, de-seeded if you don’t want to much heat. 1 tablespoon tomato paste 4 400g tins of diced tomatoes 1 lemon, rind finely grated, juiced 2 teaspoons of sugar ½ bottle of dry white wine 1.5kg mussels, beards removed ½ cup parsley leaves, roughly chopped Crusty bread to serve Method 1. Heat oil in a large, deep saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and chilli. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until onion is soft. Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. 2. Add diced tomato tins, lemon rind, lemon juice, sugar and wine to pan. Stir until well combined. Increase heat to high. Bring sauce to the boil. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until thick. Season with salt and pepper. 3. Add mussels to sauce. Cover and cook, shaking pan occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until mussel shells open.
