Achievements Congratulations to Sam Timewell who was the inaugural winner of the Ben Foley Award this year.

Mr Ben Foley was a strong and positive male influence and connected with students through his passion for surfing, supporting the growth of the young men at CBC Fremantle. The perpetual trophy is in recognition of his commitment to the young men at CBC and the pastoral support he offered his students.

The Ben Foley Trophy is awarded to a member of the surf team who displays the qualities that align with Ben’s teachings and to the attributes of the CBC gentleman. The award is not necessarily presented to the best surfer at CBC Fremantle, rather a member of the surf team that best displays these qualities.

Sam is fine young gentleman who has grown over his time at CBC Fremantle and is a vibrant and energetic young man who regularly puts the needs of others ahead of his own. He is a positive role model for his peers at CBC and is valued for his dedication, work ethic and compassionate nature.

Congratulations to James Coletta, Jess Davie, Lachlan Glover, Josh Goodwin, Bayley Holman, Jack Lynn, Ben Parker, Nicholas Veletta (all in Year 9) and Anthony Romeri (Year 8) who won the 2016 Milo Blast Cricket State Championship last week.

Generous response to Christmas appeal As part of the Christian Service Learning programme at CBC Fremantle, students and their families have made a difference to the lives of people who are in need this Christmas.

A call-out to the community for donations to the St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal resulted in 65 hampers worth of goodies that will help ease the burden for local families.

Ms Emily Bowran coordinated the collection, and was delighted at the fantastic reflection of the generosity of the CBC community.

Pictured are Year 7 students with the hampers before collection.
