Using The Diary For Students
For Parents
A Student Should:
Parents Should:
» Take his diary to all classes. » Use it to keep a record of home studies.
» Use the diary to check that home studies, work to finish and assignments are being recorded and have been done.
» Use it to plan a study program.
» Use the diary to check on College rules and procedures.
» Take note of the College rules and procedures.
» Use the diary to communicate with teachers (see below).
» Keep the diary organised and tidy. It should not contain graffiti or be defaced in any way (marker pens, stickers, cut-outs etc.)
» Sign the diary weekly.
» Carry and have an authorised note in the diary if he is out of class. This diary is designed to achieve three major aims: (a) To help you in the organisation of your busy school life, as a record of your work, and as a reminder of our program of activities. (b) To allow House Mentors and other staff to monitor your workload, progress in tests and examinations, and involvement in co-curricular activities. (c) To assist your parents/Head of House in following your progress from your diary entries and to serve as a means of communication between your teachers and your parents. In order to use the diary and plan effectively you must develop a system. The following suggestions may help you: 1. Take your diary to every class and take it home each night. 2. Plan your time carefully. 3. Enter all relevant matters in your diary. 4. Use pencil if alterations are likely. 5. Colour-code specific entries for instant recognition. 6. Use symbols or abbreviations to save space. 7. Check your diary each morning and night. 8. Mark off entries when completed. 9. Acquaint yourself with College expectations. 10. Make sure all of the following entries are made: a) Timetable. b) Test and assignment marks, together with class means. c) All home study, work and assignments details (each day). d) Other relevant co-curricular activities. If you lose this diary, report immediately to your House Mentor. If the diary is not found within two days, you will be required to buy another from the Student Services Office.
Special Note to Students It is essential that you look after this book. Keep it neat and up-to-date. Do not remove pages.
It is vital that you check and sign your son’s diary weekly. It will provide immediate indicators of your son’s progress and it is an important means of communication. The diary also contains: » A statement of College policies, rules and the uniform regulations for school wear and all sports teams. This should ensure that you and your son know what is expected of you in these matters and assist you to satisfy these expectations. » A short history of CBC Fremantle is also included so that each student may have some understanding of the background and traditions of his College. Each student inherits the traditions and spirit of the past and should strive to contribute to his College in a positive way.
A Vital Communication Link In addition to what has been said above: Should your son’s House Mentor, Head of House, Class teacher, or you as one of his parents wish to comment on his work, a space is available for this purpose. Your son must see that such notes are shown to the person concerned for a signature. Other routine communications can be made by means of the diary. » If you wish your son to be excused from a sports practice or request permission for him to leave school during the day (eg to attend a doctor’s appointment). » If he is late for school he must always report to the Student Services Office to have his diary signed and the time of his arrival at school recorded. » Parents also should indicate (by signature) that the diary has been sighted.
Special Note to Parents » Please immediately inform the College if you have changed your address or your son has to take medication. » Requests for taking students out of school for an extended time should be made in writing to the Headmaster. » Please be aware that taking students away from school causes disruption to school programs.

History of The College
1905 – Br. Purton and class CBC Fremantle traces its origins back to 1882 when the Fremantle Catholic Boys’ School was first opened in High Street in a building still standing on the school grounds as Edmund Hall. A former Fenian convict, who was an architect by profession, drew up the plans for the new school and it was built from stone quarried on site. The new school began with an enrolment of thirty primary-aged boys under the management of Mr Otto De Grancy. A change in the colony’s Education Act in 1895 meant that all financial support for church-based schools was withdrawn. The recently arrived religious order of Christian Brothers was invited to take charge of the Parish School and to establish a High School for the education of boys in Fremantle. In January 1901, the first group of Brothers took charge of what was then known as St Patrick’s Boys’ School. Thirty boys were enrolled but this number grew to ninety within four weeks. Soon afterwards the High School opened with an attendance of twenty-nine, which had risen to fifty-seven by the end of the year. From 1901 to 1913, Christian Brothers’ College Fremantle was one of the half-a-dozen schools in WA preparing students for the public examinations of the University of Adelaide. The University of WA opened in Irwin Street in 1914 with two Brothers and two former CBC Fremantle students among the first graduates. The community of the Christian Brothers has been an integral part of the school’s life since 1901. For much of the College’s history this community provided all of the staffing for the school and accepted responsibility for the well-being of students. Today the situation is different. These days the Brothers’ central value of recognising the human dignity of each person finds expression in a variety of forms, the focus no longer solely on teaching in schools. In the last twenty years schools have come to be staffed predominantly by lay teachers, providing an interaction of lay and religious with each bringing different qualities to the school’s life and schools being richer for the presence of both. While the involvement of the Brothers in the day-to-day life of the college is less direct, the ethos and values of the Edmund Rice tradition continue to be developed by lay staff. In October 2007, Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) assumed the responsibility for the governance of CBC and forty other Edmund Rice schools across Australia. This has resulted in a new and exciting era of education providing opportunities for further evolution of the charism of Edmund Rice. CBC Fremantle continues today on its original site and experiences a strong sense of identity with the surrounding Fremantle community. It has a special place in the city of Fremantle - renowned for its academic endeavour, sporting achievements and contributions to the community.

Our Mission Vision Statement Inspired by Christ in the Edmund Rice tradition, CBC Fremantle is a Catholic school community challenging all to a life of FAITH, LEADERSHIP and EXCELLENCE.
Mission Statement The heart of the CBC Fremantle mission is to work in partnership with students, families and staff to form a Catholic school community that is based on Gospel values.
Our Core Values The values held by the Christian Brothers’ College Fremantle community are based in the Gospel values where Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of a full Christian life.
Catholic Faith
Care

(Being Just, Stewardship, Compassion)
Our Catholic community upholds the traditions of Edmund Rice while fostering positive relationships throughout the school environment. We strive for mutual respect and understanding of individuals’ differences.
CBC Fremantle prides itself on being a supportive community that genuinely cares for all, nurturing a strong sense of belonging.
Leadership (Holistic Education, Community, Service of Others, At the Margins) Our community aims to develop young men who have an active faith and, as Catholic leaders are agents of change and a model to others in creating a more just society. We believe that our Catholic Education in the tradition of Edmund Rice should provide a variety of programs and experiences that facilitates the personal growth and holistic development of each student.

CBC Fremantle
Excellence (Holistic Education, Pastoral Care) Our community seeks to create the educational environment that provides all members of the community the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
Community (Community, Service of Others, At the Margins) CBC community celebrates its history and tradition within the local and broader community through service and pastoral care. The College will continue to enhance its involvement within the community through open communication and active participation. CBC appreciates its role within the context of this community.
College House System The College has a structured House system. It is built upon a mentoring model, where students are attached to a House with a House Mentor. The House Mentor is responsible for the Pastoral Care of the student throughout the student’s entire College life. Each House has a Head of House (HoH) who is responsible for the organisational running of the House. The HoH supports the House Mentor and the students. Each House is divided into seven smaller groupings (Mentor Groups) in which students from Year Seven to Year Twelve gather each morning.
Morgan House
Rice House
Morgan is characterised by the logo “INTEGRITY” and the colour RED. The naming of this House is in recognition of the first Principal appointed to CBC Fremantle in 1901, Rev. Br. Joseph Morgan. He came to CBC Fremantle from St Kilda in Victoria, after having vast experience at being Principal in several schools in Queensland.
Rice is characterised by the logo “ENDEAVOUR” and the colour GOLD. The House is named in honour of Blessed Edmund Ignatius Rice, the Founder of the order of the Christian Brothers. This House recognises the extraordinary faith and commitment of the Founder, who through great personal faith developed schools with a difference, based on strong Gospel values and on applying justice and giving service to boys in need.
Head of Morgan House 2011: Mrs Samantha Emslie
Head of Rice House 2011: Mr Troy Foote
Patrick House
Samson House
Patrick is characterised by the logo “DETERMINATION” and the colour GREEN. The name and the colour have close associations with the country where the order of Christian Brothers originated. In addition, prior to 1901, the present College site that was opened in 1882 according to the Foundation Stone, was the site of the “Catholic Boys new school”, known as “St Patrick’s”. The College since 1900 has always had strong support and a firm link with the Oblate Fathers at Fremantle who run St Patrick’s Basilica and the parish of Fremantle.
Samson is characterised by the logo “COURAGE” and the colour BLUE. The House is named after the late famous Fremantle identity, Sir Frederick Samson. Sir Frederick was one of the early students of the College, who, after graduating from CBC Fremantle, went on to become Mayor of Fremantle. His family owned the now historic “Samson House”, which is situated close to the College. Sir Frederick had a strong presence in Fremantle, as does the College. Samson House is named in recognition of the strong influence CBC Fremantle has played in the development of the Port City of Fremantle.

With Christ our head and corner stone we’ll build our nation’s might; Whose way and truth and light alone, can guide our path aright. Our lives a sacrifice of love reflect our Master’s care; With faces turned to heaven above Advance Australia Fair. In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair.

Edmund Rice Icon – Story of Love The Edmund Rice Icon might be described as a story of love … God’s love for people and the response made to that love by one man, Edmund Rice. The story is presented in symbolic colours and pictures, showing joy and pain, good and evil, energy and stillness, success and failure, great sorrow and great delight. There is a feeling of mystery in it all. Edmund Rice dominates the central part of the icon. He is a commanding figure, relaxed yet serious. He shows strength and vision as his head leans back and his eyes are compassionate and understanding, determined and kind. Above his head can be seen a hint of the mystery of God who is always with us. Edmund stands close to the heart of this symbol of God. He lives in the presence of the Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Christ-child is there. The flame of love is seen in the halo about his head. Birdlike shapes, symbols of the Holy Spirit, move down and out from Christ. The Christ-child looks towards Edmund and with his hand asks his mother, Mary, to care for, protect and love Edmund. The way Mary and Jesus are portrayed are reminders of the pictures of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and Our Lady of Good Counsel. The shapes symbolising the Holy Spirit flow in a wave-like movement from the Christ-child. These show Edmund’s willingness to follow the Spirit and allow the spirit to influence his whole life; like music passing through a perfect instrument, the Spirit rules what Edmund did and how he lived. In the icon there are nearly twenty pictures and symbols of the spirit in shapes, in water, in flame, in lightning and in rain. In contrast there are other shapes and hints of dark ominous things. One dark symbol is the coil of the serpent. On the right of the icon, just touching Edmund’s left shoulder there is a menacing shape, part-raven, part-eagle suggesting an ill omen, the spirit of evil. All of us, the saintly included, have to face evil in ourselves and around us. This evil is shown touching people important to Edmund – St Teresa of Avila and Nano Nagle. Nano was the founder of the Presentation Sisters; she worked for the education of girls while Edmund’s mission was the welfare of boys. In the icon Edmund has his back turned firmly on evil. The evil shape hovers over the Ireland of the penal days of Edmund’s time. Ireland is symbolised by four green fields. From his earliest days Edmund was aware of the misery of his depressed and down-trodden fellow Irish people, even though his own hard-working family was well-off. The Rice homestead is shown in the icon. In many symbols the whole icon tells its story of Edmund’s life. Especially shown are the influences that came together to create the spirit of the man – the spirit of love and compassion for suffering people, especially youth. This icon, then, is mediated on this man, Edmund, and the spirit that pervades the work of all those who today are engaged in the work he began. Feast of Blessed Edmund Rice: May 5th

College Information Student Code of Ethics & Conduct In the context of the Christian Community at CBC Fremantle, each student comes in contact with numerous other people – administrators, teachers, parents, peers, visitors etc. In the interests of students’ growth and development it is essential that during these relationships, students accept standards of behaviour and conduct based on Christian ideals. Some of that conduct is listed below. All students should: » Recognise their dignity as people of God » Show respect and courtesy to one another » Actively act to avoid teasing, bullying and rough play » Realise the need for school rules to function effectively » Appreciate the efforts made by others and express their gratitude in a spirit of co-operation » Respect school and other students’ individual personal property » Work to keep the school environment neat and tidy
1.
Arrival At School
Students are expected to arrive at school by 8.30am. The first bell goes at 8.40am and students are expected to be in their Mentor room by 8.45am with their student diary and appropriate equipment for Periods 1 and 2. The House Mentor will record the daily attendance at this time.
2. Leaving The School Once students arrive at school they are to remain inside the grounds. If a student needs to leave the College for a special reason, then parents need to notify the school in writing. The student is required to collect a “Request to Leave Early Form” from Student Services prior to 8.40am. The Deputy Headmaster, then the House Mentor will sign this note before classes begin. When it is time to leave, the class teacher will sign this note also. The “Request to Leave Early Form” is then handed in at the Student Services Office and the student signs out prior to leaving the College.
3. Absentees and Late Arrivals Absences Parents are requested to ring the College on 9430 2007 or email absentee@cbcfremantle.wa.edu.au by 9.30am if their son is going to be absent for the day. Any absence, for all or part of a day, is to be explained by a note from a parent which is to be handed to the House Mentor on the day the student returns to school. It is important that these absentee notes are handed in promptly (a number of ‘parent notes’ can be found at the rear of the student diary).
- regardless of how late they arrive at school. The late note placed in their diary must be shown to their House Mentor or Class Teacher upon arrival to their first class. If a student has an acceptable reason for being late (parental note, written appointment, etc), his lateness will be recorded as such and this will be monitored throughout the year. If repeated lateness occurs without an acceptable reason, the Head of House will impose appropriate sanctions.
4. Travelling to and From School There is a clear expectation by the College for students to travel directly to and from school in full school or sports uniform without loitering or behaving in unacceptable ways. Boys are to move directly and as quickly as possible to and from the College. Students are not permitted to visit shops on their way to school nor on the way home. When travelling on buses and trains, students are expected to show respect and courtesy to all passengers as well as keeping public transport regulations. The College will act on reports of poor behaviour, withdrawing travel concession cards if necessary.
5. Respect and Courtesy a) Students should take pride in their own neatness, cleanliness and behaviour. b) Clear speech and good manners are part of an individual’s progress to maturity. Offensive language is not tolerated. c) Staff are to be addressed by their proper title. d) The property of all students is to be respected; no items should be taken without asking. Stealing from other students is a serious offence. e) Rough play, fighting and bullying are unacceptable forms of behaviour. The College will not tolerate other forms of harassment such as name-calling and derogatory comments, especially those based on race, colour or religious beliefs.
6. Uniform and Personal Grooming a) Students are expected to wear the College uniform correctly, with pride and with dignity. b) The full uniform is to be worn correctly to and from school. Students may wear their sports uniform to school only on their particular sport day. (All uniform requirements are listed elsewhere). c) If a departure from the normal uniform is necessary, a note from a parent is to be given to the House Mentor. This will be recorded and monitored throughout the year. d) The shirt must be tucked in and shorts/trousers worn at waist level.
Lateness
e) A belt, if worn, must be black plain leather with a plain buckle.
Students who arrive after 8.45am are to report directly to the Student Services Office to record a Late Note in their diaries
f) Shoes should be polished regularly.
CBC Fremantle

College Information g) Hair must be clean, neat, combed away from the face and no longer than collar length. It is to be no shorter than a ‘Number 3’. Hair is to remain its natural colour and any form of colouring, tinting, streaking, two-tone colour, etc. is not permitted. Gels are discouraged, as are radical and deliberate shaping and styling of hair. A continued pattern of non compliance will result in boys being sent home.
9. Personal Responsibility
h) Boys are to be clean shaven at all times. Side-burns are not to exceed the ear lobes in length. If such standards are not maintained, the boys will be required to shave immediately. A continued pattern of non compliance will result in boys being sent home.
Prohibited Substances
i) The College hat/cap is the only type to be worn with the school uniform or sports uniform. j) Jewellery: Students may wear a watch and/or a thin silver/ gold chain with a religious Christian symbol. It must be tucked inside their shirt. No other forms of jewellery such as rings or bracelets are permitted. k) Students are not permitted to wear any form of earring, brow-ring, etc (this includes all forms of metal, plastic, clear line, etc). Boys are not allowed to cover these items with Band-Aids/gauze. Issues of infection and/or a recent piercing will not be accepted as exceptions to these very clear guidelines.
Alcohol: The sale, purchase, possession or consumption of alcohol, or being under its influence on school property or at any school function or activity which would be seen as connected with the College, is absolutely forbidden for any CBC Fremantle student, as is the possession or consumption of alcohol in public places. The College will take immediate action. Drugs, Narcotics & Hallucinogens are absolutely forbidden. The school will take strong disciplinary action concerning any individual within its jurisdiction who sells, possesses, consumes, or is under the influence of any such substances, or who introduces others to them. The normal penalty for any infringement of the rules concerning drugs is that the student is asked to withdraw from the College. In most instances the College is required to inform the police. No student should be under any misunderstanding of the seriousness of this rule, even for a first offence.
» Daily entry of set home study and assignments.
Tobacco: The use of tobacco has been established as being medically dangerous and for this reason the College will at all times actively discourage smoking by its students. Appropriate penalties are laid down for those who contravene this rule. The possession of tobacco and its use are not permitted during school hours, on school grounds, in school uniform, or at any activity or event in which the school is seen to be involved. The College will take immediate action.
» Reminder entries of school events and after school sport commitments with times.
10. Personal Property
7.
Diaries
Each student is expected to have a College Student Diary. Students are required to have their diary with them at all classes and Mentor Period. Regular home study is set in classes from Year 7-12. Diary entries should include:
» Dates for projects, tests and exams. » Notes from parents and teachers. Students in 7-10 are required to have their diary signed by a parent/guardian once a fortnight. House Mentors will also check diaries on a regular basis throughout each term. The College Student Diary is a shared document between the student, parents and the College. It should not be defaced and should be free of offensive words, graffiti and pictures that staff may consider to be unacceptable. Students will be asked to pay for the replacement of a College Student Diary if it is deemed to be in an unacceptable condition.
8. College Bags As part of the uniform requirements, each boy in Years 7 -12 is required to use a College Bag. These are available from the Uniform Shop and come in two styles. The bag (backpack) is ergonomically designed, hard wearing and particularly suited to boys. The College Bag is a compulsory part of the College uniform.
16
The use of some substances can be harmful to health and can also be habit-forming. Possessing or using alcohol, cigarettes, illegal substances or solvents is not permitted at school, or at anytime a student is in uniform, or at any school-organised function or activity. More specifically, the following applies:
CBC Fremantle
All items of personal property should be clearly marked with the student’s full name. Large amounts of money and other valuables should not be left in bags, lockers, on desks or in classrooms. Such items may be left with the Student Services Office. For Sport and PE periods, these items should be placed in the valuables box in the Gym/PE office. Students should engrave their own calculator for identification. Students are strictly not permitted to use Discmans, iPods, MP3 players, etc. in classes or on the College Campus and are therefore encouraged not to bring them to school. Such items will be confiscated by staff. The safety and security of these items are the responsibility solely of the students.
11. Mobile Phones Whilst the College acknowledges that boys may need to use mobile phones prior to or after school, the College also recommends that boys should avoid having them whenever possible. Their use while at school, both on the campus and within classrooms, is strictly not permitted. The College has adopted a very clear policy on the use of mobile phones at school for the following reasons:
College Information » Theft: unfortunately, these phones are a target for theft and are expensive to replace. » Privacy: some have the capability to be used as cameras. » Learning Process: the use of mobile phones, both in and out of classes, disrupts the learning process for all concerned and is viewed as being disrespectful. All mobile phones must be turned off throughout the day including during breaks and must be kept securely in bags, which in turn are to be kept inside student lockers. The safety of mobile phones is the responsibility solely of the student. If a student is found to be in possession and/or have his mobile switched on while at school, it will be confiscated and returned only after school when a Deputy Headmaster is free to discuss its proper use. Any subsequent misuse of a mobile phone will require a parent to attend the College in order to pick it up. The safety and security of these items is the responsibility solely of the students.
12. Lockers & Bags
b) Being on time for lessons, having the correct books and equipment, having home study completed, doing class work and following teachers’ directions are ways by which students can assist their learning. c) Students are not to be in classrooms without a teacher. d) Food and drinks are not allowed in classrooms during class times, except for water in clear plastic bottles. e) Chewing gum, large marking texta pens and white-out liquid paper are not allowed at school. f) Students are expected to assist teachers keep classrooms clean and tidy. At the end of each lesson, desks and chairs should be left in place for the next class and any rubbish removed. g) Students assemble outside their classroom for the start of each lesson. h) Books, files and other items that are brought into classrooms are to be free of offensive words, graffiti and graphics that staff may consider to be unacceptable.
The College is ‘bag-free’. Lockers are made available to each student for personal items, books and files. Lockers are allocated near House Mentor rooms at the start of each year and boys are not permitted to swap lockers. A lock is supplied for each student by the College. It is very important that care is taken to ensure that their combination code is kept confidential and not passed on to peers. Students are expected to organise their use of lockers for blocks of lessons. This means students go to the lockers:
i) Running and playing games in corridors, verandahs and stairways near classrooms is not allowed for safety reasons.
» Before Mentor Period for Periods 1-2.
» Areas accessing roads.
» At Recess for Periods 3-4.
» Vehicle parking areas.
» At Lunch for Periods 5-6.
» All classrooms unless a teacher is present.
Students are not permitted to leave the classrooms for books once a lesson has commenced.
Students do not have access to the Staff Room. If a student wishes to see a particular staff member, he is required to wait and put his request to another staff member entering the Staff Room.
School bags should be stacked neatly inside lockers. Bags are not to be carried to classes or left outside lockers. Students are advised not to leave wallets or valuables in bags at any time. Valuables should be handed into the Student Services Office. Any bag found outside of lockers will be taken to the Student Services Office. A ‘gold coin donation’ to the Missions will be required for its return. A small bag (draw string, plastic bag, etc.) can be used to carry sport uniform for Physical/Outdoor Education classes. Large back-packs are not to be carried around the College and/or to sport classes.
13. Classrooms Classrooms and other teaching areas are places for growth and learning. Students are expected to behave in a manner that optimises their opportunity to learn and not in a manner that could interfere with the teaching and learning process of others in any way. a) Calling out in class, unnecessary movement and talking, throwing items, interrupting other students and any other forms of intimidating or provocative behaviour interferes with others’ right to learn and must not take place.
14. Areas of Access For reasons of safety and supervision, students do not have access to certain areas outside of normal class times. These include: » Verandahs and stairways.
Toilets should be used at recess and lunchtime.
15. Areas for Games Fremantle Park is available for use by students for active ball games during lunchtime. Students may cross to the park only under a teacher’s direction at the break. The Gymnasium is available for indoor games at lunchtime (numbers are limited). Food and drink are not to be taken onto any of the playing areas unless otherwise directed by staff on special occasions. The recreation and lawn areas within the College are not suitable for ball games using larger balls, e.g. football, soccer, etc. On occasions, particular Year groups will be directed to have their recess and lunch at Fremantle Park.
CBC Fremantle

College Information 16. Emergencies on The Playground A number of staff members are always on duty. Students should seek assistance from these duty staff if they are experiencing difficulties.
17. Sick Bay Students who are sick must report their condition to their teacher who will direct them to the Student Services Office. They may then be directed or assisted to the Sick Bay in Administration. Depending on the nature of the illness, parents may be contacted.
18. Telephone » A blue telephone is available for student use. » Students do not receive incoming calls - messages may be left at the office. » Mobile phones are not to be used by students during school hours.
19. Canteen A good range of food can be ordered by filling in the lunch forms at the canteen before 8.40am each morning. Students are expected to show courtesy to the Canteen Staff, parents and other students who help on a voluntary basis. Students should wait to be served in orderly lines.
20. Library The library is open before school from 8.10am and at lunchtime each day for reading and quiet work. The rules of the library are to be respected by students who wish to make use of this facility. Home Study Centre: This will operate from 3.30-4.30pm on Monday and Tuesday, 3.05-4.05pm Wednesday and Thursday, to assist boys with access to resources and to provide teacher support for their home study/assignments. The Home Study Centre will be supervised by teaching staff.
21. Student Drivers Before a student is allowed to drive to school, he must obtain a permission form from the Deputy Headmaster. The Deputy Headmaster gives approval only once a fully-completed permission form has been received from parents. Vehicles must be parked outside of school grounds and are out of bounds once they are parked. Students are not allowed to have passengers at any time without prior permission in writing from both sets of parents concerned (a permission form is required). If there are any reports at any time of unsafe and/ or irresponsible driving by a student, permission to drive to school will be withdrawn by the Deputy Headmaster.

CBC Fremantle
22. Excursions and Camps Excursions, camps, days of retreat and similar activities are arranged throughout the year and students are expected to take part in these. Parents will be notified of these activities. Students are generally required to return a Parent Consent Form and any necessary payment before excursions and camps take place. Without the consent form (and required payment) students will not be permitted to attend off-campus activities. Students participate in these activities only if appropriate dress and grooming standards are met.
23. Newsletters Newsletters will be emailed on Fridays on a weekly basis and can also be accessed on the College website www.cbcfremantle. wa.edu.au. Please contact the College if a hard copy of the Newsletter is required. Other information sheets that contain a reply slip are to be returned to the House Mentor or the appropriate staff member on the next school day.
24. School Environment All students are expected to contribute to making the College surroundings a pleasant place. Students are responsible for keeping the school, its classrooms, desks, chairs, walls and the grounds free from rubbish, litter and graffiti.
25. School Computers & The Internet Computers are provided for students to enhance their learning. Students are expected to use computers with care and appropriately as directed by staff. All students must read and sign the “Acceptable Use Policy” as it relates to the correct use of the computers, College Network and the Internet (a copy of this form is in the diary). Students ignoring the guidelines will be restricted or banned from using the Internet and/or school computers. Their passwords may be withdrawn.
26. Buses, Used During School Time When students travel on buses for any purpose or for College functions, it is expected that they will display the appropriate respect and courtesy to the driver. At all times students must be seated, quiet and are not to distract the driver. Students are not permitted to eat food or drink in the bus, nor enter a bus without the permission of a teacher. Under the direction of a teacher students may be required to clean the buses after use.
27. School Hats The College has introduced the compulsory wearing of school hats during Sport and Physical Education lessons for all Years, 7-12. All students are encouraged to wear hats during recess and lunch times if they are playing in the sun.
College Uniform To give students a sense of belonging and pride in their school, we require students to dress within the guidelines of our dress code.

CBC Bullying Policy For the whole law is summed up in one commandment:
“Love your neighbour as you love yourself.” Galatians 5:14
As a Catholic learning community, CBC Fremantle fosters the Gospel values by creating a safe and supportive environment where each person is treated with absolute dignity and respect. Bullying and harassment are not acceptable in such an environment. CBC is committed to eliminating bullying in all its forms and providing help through teaching skills which show respect for self and others to those who are bullied and who bully.
What is Bullying? Bulling is behaviour that hurts, threatens, embarrasses or intimidates someone. When a group or an individual uses his power to target or hurt another person repeatedly, this is bullying. There is an intention to cause fear, distress and/or harm. It is defined by the effects on the victim, not the intent of the person(s) doing the bullying. Bullying can occur between adults, between students, adult(s) to student(s) and vice-versa. Some Examples of Bullying Include: » Teasing » Name-calling and ‘put-downs’ » Spreading rumours » Making threats » Excluding people from activities or groups deliberately » Physical aggression such as shoving, hitting, throwing things at someone, pushing, damaging or hiding someone’s property » Making threatening or offensive gestures » Threatening or offensive SMSs or emails, etc Some Tips for Countering Bullying » Tell the person/people that you don’t like what they are doing or saying. Tell them to stop it. Look at them directly and say confidently: ‘Stop it or ‘Cut it out! That’s not okay!’ or,’ I don’t like what you’re doing.’ » Avoid trying to get even. It often makes the problem worse. » If the behaviour continues, tell your parents, your mentor teacher or a staff member you trust. This is not ‘dobbing’. It is your right to be safe and treated with respect. Staff will deal with your complaint in a confidential manner.’ » Avoid the person who is bullying you. » Stay away from places that aren’t comfortable for you. » Take a deep breath. Remind yourself that the person who is bullying has the problem, not you. Don’t take it on board. Use helpful self-talk like: ‘This is about them, not me.’ Walk away. » Act confidently, even if you feel scared. Imagine any hurtful comments bouncing off you like water off a duck’s back. » Have a variety of friends to mix with at recess or lunch time. Have these friends over to your place after school/weekends to extend such friendships.
As a Student, What can I do to Stop Bullying?
“
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.
”
Martin Luther King
» Be courageous. If you witness bullying, don’t join in. Take a stand by walking away or telling the person doing it to stop. Tell someone on staff that you trust if you feel it is on-going. » Show care and respect for others in and outside the classroom. Make a special effort towards a student who seems lonely or who is having a hard time by inviting him into your friendship group. » If you yourself get involved in bullying, remember how it felt when someone was unkind to you. Say sorry and stop it. As a Staff Member, What can I do to Stop Bullying? » Be a positive role model to students in my behaviour and communication style » Intervene speedily to all witnessed or reported bullying and follow-up regularly. Follow the ‘Flow Chart for Dealing with issues of Bullying.’ » Be familiar with how the College deals with bullying and highlight our policy and procedures to students regularly. » Adopt positive classroom management strategies. » Ensure that all areas of the College have a visible staff presence at breaks, between lessons and before and after school. As a Parent or Guardian, What can I do to Stop Bullying? » If your son tells you of a bullying scenario he has witnessed in or out of school that concerns CBC students, report the matter to your son’s Head of House. » Be vigilant for signs that may indicate that your son is being bullied. These include: reluctance to go to school, mood swings, a pattern of somatic illnesses like headaches and stomach aches, sleep disturbance, and social withdrawal. » If your son reports that he is being bullied, encourage him to talk freely. Take note of as many details as possible. Discuss ways of addressing the issue. » Once you have a clear idea of the situation and some ideas about how your son would like it handled, contact the College. His mentor teacher or Head of House are the staff to contact. They will then refer the matter on to the Deputy Principal or Counsellor if appropriate. At all stages of the process, you will be consulted and informed about interventions taken to resolve the issue. » Discourage any form of retaliation. This may in fact make the situation worse. » Contact the College Counsellor to discuss strategies to build resilience and assertion skills if you feel the need. Key Contact Staff at CBC to deal with Bullying: » Mentor Teacher » Heads of House » Deputy Headmaster -Students » College Counsellor » Headmaster CBC Fremantle

2
Staff Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the teaching staff to: » develop a teaching/learning program that adheres to current Curriculum Council guidelines » provide students with a course outline and scheme of assessment at the commencement of the subject » ensure that assessments are fair, valid and reliable » maintain accurate records of student achievement and assessment » meet school and external timeframes for assessment and reporting » inform students and parents of academic progress as appropriate.
3
Student Responsibilities
It is the student’s responsibility to: » complete the prescribed work requirements in each course by the due date » complete all assessment tasks described in the scheme of assessment and present the tasks to the teacher as required. Submission of work electronically is at the discretion of the teacher. » maintain a folio of evidence for each course studied including completed tasks, tests and assignments and to make it available whenever it is required » maintain a good record of attendance, conduct and progress (a student who is absent for five periods/days or more per term is deemed to be at risk) (See point 6) » initiate contact with teachers concerning absence from class, missed assessments, extension requests and other issues pertaining to assessment.

Assessment
5.1 Middle School Each subject will provide both grades and levels for subjects. Grades will be based on achievement within that subject and the cohort, indicated by A, B,C,D or E. Levels for outcomes will be reported on at the end of the year and these link student performance to Federal Government targets. Achievement Targets are challenging targets for student performance. The targets are designed to raise student performance via increased expectations. The older the student, the higher the target. Grades may be interpreted as: A above the Achievement Target, B at the Achievement Target, C progressing toward the Target, D at the Minimum Required Standard, E progressing toward the Minimum Required Standard.
5.2 Upper School Courses of Study On completion of a Course of Study a grade and a course percentage are awarded for units studied. Grades are awarded on the basis of student achievement in valid and fair assessment tasks which contribute to final results on the scale: A Very High Achievement B High Achievement C Satisfactory Achievement D Limited Achievement E Inadequate Achievement
Cut-off points are established on a collaborative basis between the Head of the Learning Area and all subject teachers in accordance with course objectives, correct assessment task weightings and grade descriptors. All teachers abide by these established cut-off points. The final course percentage in Year 12 subjects contribute to the Tertiary Entrance Score (ATAR).
6 Absence from Class/ Missed Work or Assessment If a student is absent from class, his ability to achieve to his potential is diminished. Extended periods of absence could result in lower levels of achievement. Absences may result in a student not fulfilling the requirements of a course and thus may be deemed as unable to be assessed. The Curriculum Council deems Year 11 and 12 students at risk of not completing a course if they miss five periods/days per term.
CBC Fremantle Assessment Policy 6.1 Missed Assessments through an Extended Absence Written Notification Required Families are provided with the College Calendar at the commencement of each year. Parents should make every effort to avoid any activity that would require a student being absent from school for any extended period of time. If the absence is unavoidable during school time, at least TWO WEEKS written notice to the Headmaster is required. The student will be asked to complete the assessments, or an estimated mark based on past performance on similar types of assessment tasks in combination with the student’s rank in the group will be used. The decision on which option or how marks will be determined rests with the Head of Learning Area in consultation with the Deputy Headmaster. Students MUST catch up on missed work; this is entirely the student’s responsibility.
6.2 Missed Assessments through Illness or Emergency Written Evidence Required Students who fail to undertake assessment tasks are provided with an opportunity to present written evidence supporting their reason for failing to undertake the task. Where possible, this should include a medical certificate. The Head of Learning Area will decide which of the following strategies will be adopted. » Extension without Penalty. » Alternative Task without Penalty. » Estimate mark based on past performance on similar types of assessment tasks in combination with student’s rank in the group. The College will monitor such absences to ensure a pattern does not evolve.
6.3 Missed Tests Students who are absent for tests must communicate with their subject teacher at the earliest opportunity. At the discretion of the Head of Learning Area, the student may be allowed to sit the test, provided the teacher and Head of Learning Area are convinced that no portion of the test has been communicated to the student and providing a written note is given to the classroom teacher indicating why the student was unable to sit the test.
6.4 Missed Examinations Students who miss a formal examination will be required to present a Medical Certificate to the Deputy Headmaster. In such cases the student’s performances in similar assessments during the semester will be standardised against the rest of the class. The student’s examination mark will then be the corresponding standardised score against the class performance in the examination. It is important, however, for the student to experience the undertaking of a rigorous First Semester examination. The College will endeavour to provide the student with an opportunity to sit a paper at a later date. While this paper will be marked and feedback given, it will not be used for assessment purposes.
7
Extensions
Only in cases of illness or significant personal difficulties can extensions be given at the discretion of a teacher, in consultation with the Head of Learning Area. Under no circumstances will an extension be granted within twenty four hours of the due date of the assessment. In cases where work is not submitted on time, teachers will make their judgment on the evidence that is already available by the deadline. If a student does not apply for or receive an extension then the consequences will be the same as for missed work when there is no satisfactory explanation of an absence.
8 Failure to Meet an Assessment Deadline Due dates will be clearly outlined and implemented. Students who fail to submit satisfactorily completed assessments by the due date will be penalised as per the individual Learning Area assessment practices. Work must be submitted on the next school day, not the next subject period. The student may be required to attend after school or weekend detention until the work is satisfactorily completed.
9 Early Administration of Tests or Examinations Only under exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the Deputy Headmaster - Director of Studies may a student be administered tests or examinations prior to the original date of administration.
10 New Students or New Courses Students may be asked to complete assessments which they have missed due to the transfer from one school to another or because of commencing a course after the start of the school year. Where possible, students may have their prior achievements recognised to enable them to be ‘fitted’ into the assessment ranking of the group in accordance with their demonstrated ability. Under exceptional circumstances Year 11 students are able to change courses only within the first five weeks of Semester One. Year 12 students should only change their course at the end of Year 11. It is entirely the student’s responsibility to catch up on missed work
11
Honesty of Effort (Plagiarism)
A student must be able to show that work which is being presented to a teacher for assessment is his own. All resources used, including web-sites, must be suitably referenced at the point of insertion and at the end of the paper. No credit can be given for work that is copied from another student, plagiarised or directly downloaded from computer resources without appropriate referencing. Further, the same penalty may be applied to the student who has passed work on to be copied. The same penalty applies to any form of academic malpractice such as cheating or collusion. Passing off another’s work as your own is a form of stealing and is illegal. Recurring incidents of plagiarism will incur College detentions. CBC Fremantle
23
CBC Fremantle Assessment Policy 12 Student Appeal Students have the right to query their numerical assessments and grades if they believe the assessment structure outlined at the commencement of the course has not been followed. That is, that no clerical errors have been made and that weightings are in accordance with published Departmental Course Descriptions. Teachers are obliged to make the appropriate adjustments, but are not required to re-mark the assessment tasks.
Candidates must not bring bags, cases, pencil cases, text books, mobile phones or references into the exam room. Provision should be made for these in lockers prior to an exam commencing. Candidates in examinations in the faculties of Mathematics and Science must supply their own Table Books, Mathaids, Calculators and similar implements; these will not be supplied.
13.3 Conduct during an Examination
13 Disabled Students
The examination room is a place of absolute silence.
Where a student has a medically certified disability, the College can initiate concessions in assessment administration including:
As you enter the exam room check which rows of seats are allocated to your exam.
» extra reading time, » extra working time, or » specialised equipment.
If you wish to ask a question or seek help at any time raise your hand and wait for a supervisor to come to you. When instructed, complete the information required on the front of the question/ answer booklet if one is supplied.
These concessions are to enable the student to perform to the best of his ability without providing undue advantage relative to other students undertaking the same assessment. The Curriculum Council can grant some of the above concessions to students undertaking the WACE Examinations. Appropriate forms, the medical evidence and a supporting case needs to be given to the Curriculum Council during Year 12. A successful application usually results when concessions arrangements were initiated in the College in Middle School or Year 11. If you believe your son could qualify for such concessions please contact the Student Counsellor or the Director of Studies.
13 Examinations All College students will undertake examinations. It is the responsibility of every student to be familiar with the examination rules and standard procedures for the conduct of examinations at CBC Fremantle.
13.1 Timing Examinations have a reading time component when candidates may read papers. STUDENTS MAY NOT WRITE OR MAKE NOTES DURING THIS TIME. No student may be admitted to the exam after one hour has elapsed. No candidate may leave an exam before the completion of the set time. If a candidate arrives late for an exam (i.e. in the first hour) no allowance or granting of extra time may be made.
13.2 Examination Materials Candidates must bring pens, pencils, erasers, ruler, staplers, and calculators into an exam provided they are permitted under the exam conditions. These items will not be supplied in the exam room. Candidates must not bring scrap or working paper into the exam. Some subjects allow notes and other additional materials. See your teacher to clarify the position with each subject.
24
CBC Fremantle
Read the directions on the cover of your question booklet carefully. When instructed to begin reading first check that your question book is complete and clearly printed. Note whether you may or may not write on the question booklet. At the end of the examination period all candidates must remain seated and silent until the supervisor has collected scripts and booklets and dismisses the examination.
13.4 Irregular Practices No candidate shall contrive in any way to gain an unfair advantage over any other nor shall any candidate collude in the exchange of information during an examination. Any attempt to communicate in any way for any reason with another student will be interpreted as attempting to gain unfair advantage. Any candidate who, in the judgement of the supervisor, intentionally disrupts the examination to the disadvantage of other candidates, may be removed from the exam and suspended from the examination program subject to an interview with the Director of Studies. Any practice listed above will be deemed irregular and the exam supervisor will make a report to the Director of Studies. At the discretion of the Director of Studies, the candidate’s script may be voided and the candidate score zero marks in this exam.
13.5 What Help in an Examination Means An examiner during the reading period may correct or interpret questions only in-so-far as it gives no unfair advantage to a candidate. A Supervisor or Examiner may only explain procedures or clarify instructions printed on an examination booklet. A Supervisor can supply extra working paper or lined paper if you have insufficient to complete an exam. A Supervisor will not confirm or deny the accuracy of an answer or procedure being examined or explain the meaning of a question other than the procedure required to answer the question.
CBC Fremantle Homestudy Policy Preamble Homestudy not only reinforces classroom learning, but also helps boys and young men to develop skills and attitudes they need for successful lifelong learning. It supports the development of independent learning skills, including habits of enquiry and investigation. Homestudy is any study undertaken at home that is either teacher-or student-directed. It essentially needs to promote success and teach boys how to learn effectively without a teacher in front of them. The ability to undertake lifelong learning is one of the single most important skills that people take away from school. Professor John MacBeath of the Cambridge University points out that as children progress through school, contact teaching time diminishes to the point where, in higher education, learning independently becomes the predominant form of learning. Pupils who are given imaginative homestudy and taught how to do it will be better equipped to climb further up the educational ladder.
Homestudy: » is a valuable part of schooling. » is another opportunity for parents to participate in their son’s education. Parents, in partnership with the school, should encourage their boys to establish good homestudy patterns. » encourages students to take some responsibility for their own learning. » allows for practising, extending and consolidating work done in class. » develops organisational and time-management skills, self discipline, skills in using out-of-school resources and personal responsibility for learning. » develops a range of skills in identifying and using information resources. » establishes habits of study, concentration and self-discipline which will serve students for the rest of their lives. » strengthens home-school links. » reaffirms the role of parents as partners in education. » provides parents with insights into what is being taught in the classroom and the progress of their children. » challenges and extends gifted and talented children.
Homestudy is most beneficial when: » it reinforces and extends classwork and consolidates basic skills and knowledge. » it is challenging and purposeful, but not so demanding that it has adverse effects on the student’s motivation. » students take responsibility for their homestudy, supported by their parents. Boys must use the College Diary. Diaries provide a means of regular communication between parents and the school.
» it is well coordinated and teacher expectations are well communicated. » it is set on a regular basis and establishes a routine of homestudy. » teachers set suitable amounts of homestudy which are varied and at an appropriate level considering the age, stage of schooling and capabilities of students. » it takes into account students’ home responsibilities and extracurricular activities such as clubs, sport and part-time employment. » feedback and follow-up are provided regularly to students. » it develops and extends the core learning skills of inquiry and independent study.
Types of Homestudy The three main types of homestudy are: 1) Practice exercises - providing students with the opportunities to apply new knowledge, or review, revise and reinforce newly acquired skills, including:
» consolidation exercise e.g. maths. » practising for mastery e.g. spelling words. » revising information about a current topic. » practising words or phrases learnt in a language other than English. » reading for pleasure. » essay writing. 2) Preparatory homestudy - providing opportunities for students to gain background information on a unit of study so that they are better prepared for future lessons, including:
» background reading. » reading e.g. English text for class discussion. » researching topics for a class unit of work. » collecting items e.g. geometric shapes. 3) Extension assignments - encouraging students to pursue knowledge individually and imaginatively, including:
» writing e.g. a book review. » making or designing something e.g. an art work. » investigations e.g. science, social science. » researching e.g. history, local news. » information and retrieval skills e.g. using a home computer to find material on the Internet. » monitoring e.g. advertising in particular newspapers. Wherever possible, homestudy should recognise the place of technology in today’s world and the benefits of using technology such as home computers, e-mail and the Internet for organising and accessing information.

» showing their homestudy to their parents.
» giving students sufficient time to complete their homestudy, taking into account, as far as possible, competing home obligations and extracurricular activities and homestudy set by other teachers.
» ensuring homestudy is of a high standard. » organising their time to ensure that sufficient time is given to quality homestudy within set deadlines and using their College Diary.
» marking homestudy promptly and appropriately, maintaining homestudy records and providing feedback to students and parents. » alerting parents of any developing problems concerning their children’s homestudy and suggesting strategies that they can use to assist their children with their homestudy.
Policy on Homestudy Completion and Incompletion Completion While we all hope that our boys see the personal benefits of homestudy, it is important to recognise the considerable effort required to consistently complete homestudy. Daily recognition by parents and teachers, together with positive congratulations in reports, all help to reinforce good work habits.
Incompletion Years 7 - 11 While it is important for all boys to see the educational importance of completion of homestudy as outlined earlier, the College has a system to support its teachers in following up homestudy that has not been completed. The following structure begins in Term 2 for Years 7 and 8 and continues through all of Year 9 and 10. By the time the boys reach Year 11, a culture of homestudy completion should have been established. However, the Year 11s will work under the Homestudy Slip system for the first term, just to give them a sound start.
Year 12 It is expected Year 12 students will need little encouragement or school structures in place to ensure homework is completed. Future opportunities will be determined by the level of commitment shown by these students. Year 12 students should be fully self-motivated. The following procedure relates to assignments or homestudy that a member of staff expects to view or collect.

They then go to the Mentor Rooms of those students who have not returned homestudy and summon the boy to the Duty Homestudy Staff (Director of Studies, Heads of Learning Area) who meet the boy, discuss the situation and allocate a second slip and a thirty-minute afternoon detention. » The advantage of this system is we can see each boy’s efforts across all Learning Areas. » In each term, the sequence consists of: − − − −
four slips, followed by Letter of Concern to Parents, followed by further four slips, followed by interview with parents and their son. Son attends the Homestudy Centre each day that week. This interview will deal with the now-serious concerns the College has with the boy’s efforts and determine a revised proposal involving the boy’s continuation at the College.
» Staff may also take further actions to encourage the completion of homestudy.

27
CBC Fremantle Homestudy Practice Successful Practice In the Middle Years (Years 7 to 10), homestudy: » should include daily independent reading » set homework from the day’s classes » may include extension of class work, projects and assignments, essays and research. » the maximum time spent on homestudy each day by Year 7/8 should be about one to one and a half-hours, Years 9/10 one and a half to two hours. In the later years of schooling (Years 11 to 12), homestudy will generally increase, and require from two to three hours per week night, with up to six hours on weekends during peak examination periods. At this level students generally should be independent learners, but parents should be clear about the school’s expectations for homestudy, and should discuss issues and concerns with their children and the school. Care should be taken to ensure that undue pressure is not placed on students at this level, and that a balance is maintained between the demands of study and recreational pastimes. This can generally be achieved through good organisation and planning, and builds on the effective study habits developed in primary school.
Tackling Homestudy There are few issues which cause as much concern and confusion as the matter of homestudy. Parents tend to worry that children are not getting any or that it is not of the traditionally drill-orientated approach.
When is the best time to do homestudy? No one best time suits every child, but having a regular daily time seems to help. Decide upon a time that’s not too late and fits in with family commitments. You will need to allow an after-school break for a snack and some `down time’. Sticking to a routine time, varying it only for special occasions, is much better than a random time - there is an expectation that homestudy is to be done, less resentment about doing it, less procrastination, and less nagging because your son has reached fatigue point or it is too late for you to help. Depending on your child’s age and personality, you might offer some choice e.g. the child might have afternoon tea and some play or television, but must begin homestudy by a certain time.
Does homestudy have to be done after school? No. Some children are early risers and prefer to do homestudy before school, when they are fresh. This is fine if there is someone to supervise or help, or if they are sufficiently independent not to need much assistance. If there is memorising to do e.g. tables, number, then the morning is certainly more appropriate than late evening.
28
CBC Fremantle
What about distractions during homework time? Television and homestudy definitely DO NOT MIX. Try to have the household sufficiently disciplined that there is no television on to tempt anyone during work time. On the other hand, the sounds of chores, telephone calls, or a radio on low should not bother most children too much. Some children may suddenly want to engage you in conversation unrelated to homestudy. While it is good to have family talk, it can become a reason why homestudy drags on forever. Show interest in talk but postpone it to a more appropriate time e.g. dinner.
Where should boys do their homework? Parents are often advised that boys need a desk in a quiet place alone to complete homestudy. However, when children require your supervision, especially when there is more than one child doing homestudy, the good old kitchen or dining room table serves perfectly well. If the table is close to where you need to be for other domestic chores, you can give assistance as required, keep and eye on what is going on, and get a hundred other things done at the same time. The homestudy place needs to be well lit, and children should sit in a comfortable straight backed chair.
Is there a particular order in which homework tasks should be completed? Not really. Allowing children to negotiate their own ordering of tasks gives them at least a little control over homestudy. Children have different patterns; for instance, some like to get the written tasks done first. Some manage homestudy as they do their dinner - just as they like to eat their least favourite vegetable first, so they begin with their most difficult or unenjoyable homestudy task, leaving the `tasty’ parts as a kind of reward.
What if homework is too time consuming? Teachers usually set homestudy with limits in mind, but what happens in reality may depend on the child and how interested he is in the work. If your child is given large amounts of homestudy which take hours to complete, let the class teacher know.
Why does my child concentrate at some times and not at others? Children do not maintain concentration for long when they are not engaged in a task. If your child is interested in a particular activity, or can move between two or three different activities in one session, he can undoubtedly concentrate for a longer period of time. Once children become restless or distracted they usually need a break.
CBC Fremantle Homestudy Practice College Diary The College Diary plays a crucial role in each boy organising his Homestudy and Study. Typically the boy should enter into the diary a brief description of the work covered and any homestudy of assignments coming from the lesson. House Mentor Teachers play a major role in helping and encouraging each boy to use his diary effectively. They monitor the use of the diary and report on this at the end of each term. Parents also play a vital role in ensuring the diary is used effectively.
College Homestudy Centre The Centre operates from the College each week on: » Monday and Tuesday 3.30pm until 4.30pm; » Wednesday and Thursday 3.05pm until 4.05pm; » Friday closed. The Centre looks to provide resources and technologies, and an environment conducive to study.
College Study Planner Early in Term One, each student will receive a large laminated student planner. Effective use of this planner will be vital for students to correctly plan and coordinate their study. The reverse side of the planner outlines key concepts for effective use of this excellent tool. The following two pages are A4 reductions of the planner. Each student is to have a CBC Fremantle Diary to record daily class work and homestudy exercises. Assignments and test dates are also entered as are after-school sporting commitments. Parents are asked to check and sign the diary weekly and to write comments in it if they wish. House Mentors will check the diary weekly to monitor its use. The diary can be a means of communication between teacher and parent and between parent and teacher.
Homestudy Tasks In the course of a school term, the following aspects of homestudy would eventually be included in the work that is expected outside class ie. these tasks are designed to: (i)
encourage student initiative
(ii) develop independent learning skills (iii) reinforce concepts introduced in the classroom (iv) provide time for revision and reflection of classroom learning (v)
allow time for practice and application of what has been learned in the classroom
(vi) allow students to “read around” subject topics (vii) provide additional opportunity for learning for students with specific difficulties and/or abilities (viii) provide a time for each student to organise his materials, e.g. files
Time Allocation The maximum time spent on homestudy each day by Year 7/8 should be about one to one and a half-hours, Years 9/10 one and a half to two hours and Years 11/12 two to three hours. This time applies specifically from Monday to Friday.
Homestudy Slips (Years 7 – 11) It is intended that once the boys have settled into the College, the College’s Homestudy Slip procedure for Year 7s and 8s will commence in Term 2. The Deputy is informed by staff of those boys who have failed to complete Homestudy and a slip is allocated to the boy to return signed by his parents with the completed homestudy the next day. The Deputy monitors this process and informs and meets with parents after a specific number of slips have been generated.

Student File Organisation 2011 The core of all work is to be completed on file paper or in an exercise book. These are to be stored in an A4 lever arch file (with ring binding). If an exercise book is used it must be ‘hole punched’ and put into the file. They are not to be inserted into a plastic sleeve. To reduce the amount of items in school bags two types of ring binder files are to be set up – home files and the work file.
1. Home Files There are six home files (ring binders) that cover all the subjects in the academic program (see diagram below). All home files are to be kept at home and should not be brought to school. Each home file should have a suitable number of labelled dividers and plastic A4 sheet protectors, in accordance with the course. If using exercise books they must be hole punched and put into the file.
Home Files

Religion / LOTE
Society & Environment
Science

Stay at Home
2. The Work File There should only be one work file set up. This work file should travel to and from school daily, like the Student Diary and your reading book. This work file should be set up with work file dividers – one for each subject (see diagram below). Each subject division should also contain a plastic A4 protector. Under the direction of the teacher, work file contents should be down-loaded into home files (eg at the end of a unit). Work file dividers should be clearly labelled. If used, exercise books must be hole punched and put into file.
