sHare THe JOUrNeY 

Last Sunday morning a large group of boys assembled with their fathers at Point 

Walter to experience the Share the Journey program. This parent-led undertaking has 

become a signature event for our College and was again enthusiastically embraced 

by our community. As the morning unfolded, it was very evident that a time of great 

significance was being shared by many of those present. 

Whilst the individual circumstances of many of the fathers in attendance would have 

been quite diverse, they were united in their desire to enhance their relationships with 

their sons and to be strong and positive influences in their development. Research 

repeatedly shows that strong male role-modelling is an important contributor to boys 

developing a positive self-image, forming mutually beneficial friendships and having a 

healthy respect for women. 

These aims are clearly compatible with the broader pastoral development program 

undertaken by the College. I’m sure they are also outcomes that every family is 

working hard to achieve at home. I commend all of the fathers who had the courage 

and foresight to attend last weekend and to make this essential investment in their 

sons. 

I would also like to thank all of those who were responsible for the planning and 

presentation of this program: 

• Dads, Mr Michael O’Connor, Mr Greg Hayes, Mr Phil O’Neill, Mr Phil Allen, 

Mr Michael Burfoot and Mr Rob Leicester who worked tirelessly to ensure the 

success of the day. 

• Mr Peter Christie snr and his son Peter (Class of ’10) who each delivered poignant 

and thought-provoking talks at different times during the morning. 

• The many other staff and senior students who contributed to the day in many 

different ways. 

Perhaps the real power of this program rests in its simplicity and its capacity to remind 

dads about the critical function they play in the lives of their sons. It emphasises the 

fact that opportunities to interrelate need to be consciously arranged. If we delay the 

accumulation of ‘frequent father points’, the years and the opportunities can quickly 

pass by. 

WeLCOMe 

At an assembly earlier this week we welcomed Mr Hideo Kodama and thirteen 

students from Tohrei Fujisawa High School in Japan. I have no doubt that the cultural 

exchange that is taking place in classrooms and the school grounds will be invaluable 

to the boys at CBC and our visitors. Thank you to all of those families that are currently 

acting as hosts for our guests. 

sCHOOL BaLL 

The dancing lessons are completed, correct etiquette has been reinforced and the 

suits are hired in preparation for the School Ball this evening. I trust that each of our 

Year 12 boys and their partners will enjoy a wonderful night and that their parents will 

manage to take just the right photo to preserve the memories of the occasion.

VICE PRINCIPAL 

The House System at the College has a focus on developing a sense of community amongst the 

students and provides increased opportunities for involvement in House activities. In order to 

include students in the planning and shaping of such House activities, each House has a House 

Council which is comprised of students (House Councillors) from each year level. 

The role of the House Councillor is to represent and serve the needs of the student community and 

to provide them with leadership in all House functions. They have responsibility for developing a 

sense of community and fostering participation within their affiliated House. The House Councillors 

work closely with the elected House Prefects as well as the Head of House and other staff members 

and are actively involved in all aspects of the House Program. 

Boys from all year levels are invited to nominate for the position of House Councillor. They need 

to be endorsed by their respective Mentor Teacher and must have achieved the following criteria: 

• achieved an average of at least 85% Positive ‘Indicators of Performance’ on their Student 

Reports. 

• achieved indicators of ‘High’ or ‘Excellent’ for Mentor Group qualities on their Student Reports. 

At the respective House Assemblies this week, the following boys were presented as House 

Councillors for 2012. They were presented with their House Councillor Badge. Congratulations to 

all of these boys.

The College will celebrate Edmund Rice Day on Friday, 4 May (Week 2 of Term 2). This is a significant 

day on the College calendar, focussing on the life of Blessed Edmund Rice and the tradition of 

Christian Brothers’ education, both at our College and throughout the world. 

The boys will begin the day at 8.45am with Mentor Period and then the whole College will gather 

at the Fremantle Basilica to celebrate our Edmund Rice Mass. On returning to school, the boys will 

have a recess break as normal. Following this, each Mentor Group will begin preparation for the 

Edmund Rice Festival. This will consist of a number of activities/stalls, organised and coordinated 

by the respective Mentor Groups, that will sell food or drinks, organise raffles and competitions 

and provide other fun activities that add to the celebration of this special College day. The day 

will conclude with an assembly in the Gymnasium where various raffles will be drawn and final 

instructions given prior to a dismissal at 3:00pm. 

Each Mentor Group will be working throughout this term, and early in Term 2, in order to finalise the 

organisation of their particular activity/stall. Each student will be asked to help in this organisation 

and to contribute $8 - $10 to fund the hiring and buying of the equipment and materials required 

for their particular stall. They will be advised of the specific details by their respective Mentor 

Teacher and this money will be collected within the Mentor Group during the first two weeks of 

Term 2. Parents can also help by forwarding any suggestions of available equipment and/or fun 

ideas to help with the day. Last year, a number of parents were able to offer some expertise and 

equipment that proved to be very useful. Please pass on any ideas to your son as planning for this 

big day starts now! 

This day allows our boys to gather as a community and reflect on our Edmund Rice tradition. On 

the day itself, the boys will be asked to bring some money along in order to fully participate – 

purchasing food and drinks, participating in events and raffles, etc. All proceeds made on the day 

will provide some valuable funds for the Edmund Rice Ministries. 

When the boys commence after the term break, they will be required to wear their winter uniform 

immediately from the first day for students in Term 2 (Tuesday, 24th April). 

During Terms 2 and 3, traditionally our winter season, the boys are asked to wear their full winter 

uniform at all times. The weather can be quite mild on some days; however, the boys are still 

required to wear their winter uniform. A full description (and pictures) of the College winter uniform 

can be found in your son’s Student Diary. 

WINTER UNIFORM FOR YEARS 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11 (Worn from the first day of, and then during, 

Terms 2 & 3) 

• School trousers Charcoal, and they must be worn at the waist. (Boxer shorts/underwear 

must not be visible). A black plain leather belt with a plain buckle is to be 

worn with school trousers. 

• School shirt Victoria Grey with College crest, top button to be done up (only plain white 

singlets may be worn under the shirts, tee-shirts are not permitted). 

• College tie Worn as part of the winter uniform 

• College blazer Worn to and from school (also at College assemblies, masses, events etc). 

• College jumper Worn under the jacket if required 

• College socks Short College grey socks (with College colours) 

• School shoes Black leather school shoes are required (joggers, hi-cut boots or zip-up 

shoes are not permitted). 

WINTER UNIFORM FOR YEAR 12 (Worn from the first day of, and then during, Terms 2 & 3) 

As above (Winter Uniform Years 7 – 11) but Year 12 boys must wear a white shirt with a leavers tie.

Past experience suggests that with the onset of jumpers, blazers and tracksuit tops there is an 

increased likelihood of clothing items being misplaced, lost or mixed up. Can I please remind 

parents that all uniform items should be clearly labelled with your son’s name and Mentor Group. 

The cost of replacing uniform items is high, so please encourage your son to take care of them.

LEARNING AREA UPDATE 

On Thursday, 3 May at 7pm, our 

Drama students from Years 8-12 will be 

performing Antigone and other Greek 

Gods and Legends in the Arts Learning 

Area (ALA). 

Tickets are $5 per person or $5 per family. 

All members of the CBC community are 

welcome. Please be aware numbers are 

limited so we advise you to pre-purchase 

tickets from the front reception in week 

10 of Term 1 and week 1 of Term 2 so as 

not to miss out. 

This performance is part of the students’ 

semester one assessment, so please 

come and support the boys. 

Mrs Rosalba Jeffreys 

Teacher in Charge of Drama 

The Have Sum Fun competition organised by the Mathematical Association of WA (MAWA) took 

place in the last two weeks, with three teams of six boys each representing the College. 

In the upper school competition, six Year 11 and 12 boys competed against 35 other teams from 

different schools in the South of the River part of the competition. The upper school team was 

formed by the following students: 

David King (Y12) Michael Messineo (Y12) 

Joel Frewin (Y12) Ben Anandappa (Y11) 

Thomas Godsall (Y11) Alessandro Monaco (Y11) 

The upper school team was placed sixth, which is a great accomplishment. The following boys were 

selected in the lower school team: 

Jake Weller (Y7) Henry Rogerson (Y7) 

Hugo Salvage (Y7) Ryan Pace (Y8) 

Riley Faulds (Y8) Conor Hars (Y8) 

Calogero Martelli (Y9) Matthew Patroni (Y9) 

Nicholas Thuys(Y9) Matthew Thomas (Y10) 

Anthony Iannantuoni (Y10) Liam Romano (Y10) 

The 9 and 10 lower school team was placed seventh while the Years 7/8 school team was 26th among 45 teams from the South of the River section of the competition. 

Congratulations to all the boys who took part. 

It was a difficult task to select three boys from each year group, given that many other boys also 

wished to participate. Unfortunately, MAWA caps teams at one per school, with a two-team 

exception for lower school. 

The next competition CBC will participate in is the Australian Mathematics Competition held on 

4 August later this year. For this event we are able to enter as many boys as we wish, and we are 

certain we will see the same level of enthusiasm.

sHare tHe Journey 

On the morning of Monday, 19 March, the Year 10 extension English class along with Mrs Brown 

went on an excursion to the Fremantle youth literature centre to meet author Matt Ottely. The 

excursion lasted 2 hours and was filled with anecdotes from Matt Ottely’s time as a stockman 

working with cattle which was also the basis for his book Requiem for a Beast. As a class we will be 

studying the text later in the year but because none of us had actually read the book a good part 

of the day was made up of Matt Ottely assisted by one of the centre’s education officers explaining 

the book to us. The book at first sounded very simple, a story about a boy who is just starting out 

as a stockman and the story of his first attempt to capture a bull. However, as the day wore on the 

author began delving deeper and deeper into his novel and as terms such as Bungalung, allegory 

and paradoxes began to come out, we began to understand the complexity of this picture book/ 

novel. He explained to us some of the symbolism he used in the novel including the bull and the 

boy and the many influences that aboriginal storytelling and other experiences in his life had on the 

story. We also listened to the music which is also part of the novel and viewed the images which 

created very powerful emotions in many of us. We wrote a few notes and got an author’s insight 

into his own novel. At the end of the 2 hour session we were all buzzing with anticipation to read 

this incredibly intricate novel and I’m sure that what we learnt on the day will be a huge help when 

we finally get to study it.

It was great to see so many dads and their sons again at this year’s Share the Journey event. This 

unique CBC Fremantle initiative aims to help foster relationships between boys and their fathers 

and continues to grow in numbers each year. 

Approximately 140 dads and sons gathered at Point Walter at 10.00am last Sunday and enjoyed a 

pleasant walk together to Bicton Baths and back. The day involved much discussion between dads 

and sons during the walk. 

At Bicton the group heard from Mr Peter Christie (father of the 2010 College Captain, Peter Christie 

jnr) about his “journey” with his son and on the importance of enjoying quality time together. On 

returning to Point Walter the group then heard from his son Peter, who spoke about his journey with 

his dad and offered some useful advice to the boys about listening to the wisdom and experience 

of their dads. These were powerful speeches by the Christies and were well received by everyone. 

A special moment was then shared between each father and their son/s as affirmations were given. 

The morning concluded with a sausage sizzle that allowed many dads to get to know each other 

and many boys enjoyed some time kicking a football together. 

A special thanks to the Year 12 boys who helped out on the day. They gave the new dads an insight 

into what they may see in their own boys when they reach Year 12 at CBC Fremantle. 

Below is the prayer written by Joshua Loveridge and Michael Messineo, current Year 12 boys. 

Michael said the prayer on Sunday morning. 

In John 5:19-20 Jesus says “Because whatever the Father does the Son also does. For 

the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does” 

Heavenly Father, 

Bless these Fathers and sons here today so that they 

may continue to connect on a deeper level and truly 

“Share the Journey” not only today but throughout their 

lives. Bless them so that they understand, watch over and 

take the time to strengthen their relationship. 

We ask this through Christ our Lord, 

Amen.

National Championships 2012 

The Australian Rowing Championships were held in Perth this year and current CBC boys and 

previous students participated representing the school and Fremantle Rowing Club. Freo saw the 

largest representation of any Western Australian club and scored a medal tally of five Gold, seven 

Silver and six Bronze. Previous students Mario LoPresti and Max Armstrong won gold in the Under 

23 Mens’ Lightweight Four, Silver in the Interstate Mens’ Youth Eight and not yet satisfied with this, 

Bronze in the Open Mens’ Lightweight Eight. 

This displays how rowing at CBC has progressed. CBC boys have now become Australian Champions. 

Tom White, Conor Noonan, Solomon Holliday, Willis Armstrong, Doug McDonald and Luke 

Thompson also contested the Nationals and represented the school at the schoolboy quads and 

Under 17 quads achieving representation in the finals. The boys have been training hard for six 

sessions a week without missing a beat for the previous six months. They had their first taste of 

competing in 2000 metre racing before the regatta and beat all the PSA school first quads’ times by 

two seconds. Brian Tonkin, the Rowing Master at Aquinas College phoned our senior coach, Chris 

Holliday and commented on how sharp the boys presented and complimented them on how well 

they had done. 

Colin Armstrong, parent of Max and Willis organised the Fremantle team as overall Manager. A 

fantastic job on behalf of our forty five competing athletes. Parents are very welcome to participate 

along with their sons at the club- a fantastic family atmosphere! 

New Intake of Boys for 2012 

Boys interested in trying out rowing should contact Mr McGrath now as training will commence 

shortly. You need no previous experience but must be prepared to get fit and attend training 

regularly. You must be able to swim. 

Year Nine boys will start soon so contact Mr McGrath to express interest asap.

Mr Brendan McGrath Head of Sport 

Term 2 begins with a number of different inter-school teams starting their trials and competitions. 

Champion schools trials: 

• Year 7 and 8/9 soccer and senior soccer, Years 7, 8/9, 10 and First XVIII football, rugby, 

hockey and surfing/body boarding. Boys need to remember to check the sports noticeboard 

for staff coaches involved and listen to morning bulletin notices for meetings and trial days. 

• Rugby: will continue training and begin after school competition on Wednesdays for 9s and 

Tuesdays for First XV. 

• Rowing: training for boys interested from Years 9 - 12 plus Saturdays with weekend regattas. 

• Lightning carnivals: all boys in the following year groups will participate. Year 9s – Monday, 

7 May and Year 7/8s on Wednesday, 9 May. 

• ACC cross country: State All Schools Friday, 25 May with ACC Carnival on Thursday, 31 May.

squad 2012 

• House sport: Continues through Terms 2 and 3 for Years 7 – 10. 

• House athletics carnival at the State Athletics Centre on Friday, 29 June. Pre-carnival events 

will occur during House sport leading up to this day 

Students are reminded for Sport and PE to: 

• Wear predominately white jogging/running shoes only for PE and Sport. The wearing of flatsoled 

shoes is not allowed (eg. Nike Air Max and 5.0) for safety reasons because the grass is 

wet in winter. 

• Boys must wear sport shirt and shorts under track suits. Boys will not be permitted to wear 

tracksuits during sport; they are to be kept dry for class and travelling home from school. 

• Rain and wind will not stop sport from continuing unless there is lightning. A towel is 

recommended for boys to help themselves dry after sport. 

• Injured students: must bring a note and stay for sport where they will help with umpiring or 

scoring, and should be wearing their grey uniform. 

Mr Brendan McGrath 

Head of Sport 

The Cross Country team have been training hard during Term One and the boys are beginning to 

look really fit as they endeavour to reclaim the ACC boys aggregate title. This year the boys have 

been training at a variety of venues running between 6km to 10km a session. I have been impressed 

with the turn-out at training especially from our young brigade of Years 7 and 8 who have brought 

some extra enthusiasm to training and who have been matching it with the big guns in Years 11 

and 12. 

With many families going away during the Easter break there will be no training over the school 

holidays this year, however it is still important that the boys go for a couple of runs each week of 

at least 5km over the holidays. I ask that parents please encourage boys to do some of their own 

training as we would hate to see all the hard work the boys have put in this term go to waste with 

the boys losing their fitness over the relaxing holiday break. 

On Edmund Rice Day (Friday, 4 May) the boys will once again be competing in the Murray Mile in 

front of the whole school. This is a great chance to showcase the great talent in the squad as well 

as give the boys some competition practice. The boys will be competing for their House and for 

Wedd Cup points. There is also the opportunity to win some great individual prizes for winning their 

respective age groups. 

Training recommences on Thursday, 26 April next term and I expect all boys to attend. Trainings will 

continue to be held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 6:50am and I remind all boys and parents 

that all trainings are compulsory and all boys must attend unless they have a note with a valid 

reason why they could not. If your son cannot attend, a letter must be given to me before Mentor 

that morning or an email needs to be sent to adrianc@cbcfremantle.wa.edu.au 

There are some exciting times ahead for the Cross Country Squad and I am looking forward to next 

term with great anticipation.

Last week CBC entered two teams in the State Schools Teams Tennis Competition. 

Team 1 Simon Smith Team 2 Jakeb Waddell 

Austin Main Michael Messineo 

Lucas Annese Connor Orrells 

Joshua Terranova Daniel Lenzo 

Alessandro Lo Presti 

The two teams were placed into Pools and played against four other schools at Belmont Tennis Club 

for places in the finals. 

Jakeb’s team won all four matches and 

advanced to the Slazenger Cup final at The 

State Tennis Centre. Here they were pitted 

against Applecross High School, which is 

the premier tennis school in the State. They 

were competitive, but succumbed to the 

four State tennis players in the team. 

Simon’s team won three matches in the pool 

and then lost to Applecross in a very close 

encounter. 

They advanced to the finals of the Mursell 

Shield and had to play another Applecross 

team. 

Simon was leading, but fell and injured his 

ankle, so had to forfeit. They eventually lost 

after some tough matches. 

Congratulations to all boys concerned for their tireless efforts on a day that started at 7.15am and 

finished at 5pm. 

Mr Barry Tognolini 

Tennis Coach 

years 8 and 9 tennis 

Years 8 and 9 also played tennis in the last week. The third team, ably led by Jackson Sidery, with 

Michael Norman, Lachlan Lavery, Ben Pendergast and Cameron De Luca lost in the round robin 

stages, although they did win a match and gave their best. 

Second team: Alec Radonich (Capt), Will Power, Jacob Toomath, Ambrose Ryan and Ryan Pace, did 

superbly to finish second in their group and qualify for the division 2 play offs. They were then 

narrowly beaten in the first match at this stage, but did very well to get this far. 

First team: Jordan Filippin (Capt), Anthony Lomma, Tyler Sorrell, 

Dylan Smith and Nathan Prendegast: despite some very close 

games against tough opponents the team won 3 of 4 matches to get 

through the group stage to div 2 play offs. Here they won 2 rounds 

to make it to the final where we had to play Perth Modern, the 

same team who beat them at this stage last year, and unfortunately 

they were too strong again. Although I am trying not to count, I 

think this is the 3rd year in a row we have been runner up at this 

event and possibly 5th time in the 8 or so years I’ve been helping. 

However, when you consider how many schools enter, this has 

been a very good achievement. 

It was a long day for the top team, we left CBC at 730am and finished about 

8pm. A special mention to Tyler Sorrell who didn’t lose a singles match all 

day and Jordan Filippin who, when asked if he wanted to stop his doubles 

match in the final when the overall score meant we couldn’t win, replied 

‘nope we never quit!’ and carried on for another 10mins before accepting 

defeat. 

As I think I comment every 

year, it’s always great to 

see our boys playing in 

such a sporting manner 

and I look forward to 

our participation in this 

competition next year.

MUMS RAISING BOYS 

However well-prepared mothers are logically, the emotional response to having a boy is 

often still, “Wow! This is unknown territory”. It is true that for many mothers, the idea of 

raising a son carries its own set of worries. 

As the primary female role model in a boy’s life, mothers play an important role in the development 

of their son’s identity including their ability to be nurturing. This in turn affects how they relate to 

others, particularly to girls and women. 

This workshop will discuss: 

• the importance of the mother-son relationship 

• what boys need from their mums 

• practical ways to improve and maintain a positive and rewarding relationship.

The Parent Council is offering the workshop in mid August of this year for $10. Places are limited 

and the workshop will run for approximately 2 ½ hours.

your preferred timeslot of either 6pm or 6.30pm start. The College is supporting the evening 

by subsidising the workshop and at $10, this is exceptional value for a workshop conducted by
