A Busy Week 

On Wednesday of last week the College Visual Art Exhibition was opened 

in the presence of a large and appreciative audience. Our thanks are 

extended to Dr Toby Bell, a local artist, who officially opened the exhibition 

and provided an interesting perspective on the relationship between art and 

science. Congratulations to Mr Shane Mancuso, Ms Anne McCaughey and 

Ms Zoe Francis for their encouragement of our young artists and for their 

hard work in presenting the exhibition. Many students received awards on 

the evening and it was pleasing to see the quality and diversity of their art 

pieces. 

On Friday evening the College conducted the Graduation Mass and 

Ceremony for the Class of 2012. Some students provided reflections on their 

time at CBC as part of the ceremony and these were certainly a highlight of 

the evening. In a sign of great maturity these boys were able to look back on 

their experiences at school and discern those which were most powerful and 

pertinent to their formation as good young men. Thank you to Father Tony 

Maher for his inspiring homily at the mass and for his ongoing commitment 

to fostering the relationship between St Patrick’s parish and CBC Fremantle. 

To complete the weekend, our College Awards Night on Sunday was 

particularly well attended and provided the opportunity for over three hundred 

students to be publicly acknowledged for their achievements during this 

year. Congratulations to all of the boys who received subject awards on the 

evening. Being the top performing student in a subject is a special honour 

and indicates outstanding ability and commitment. Some boys received 

multiple awards in this category and were appropriately recognised. These 

particular boys are now challenged to maintain this standard and to set the 

academic tone for the College in the future. 

An even larger group of boys were awarded Certificates of Merit during the 

ceremony. These awards are available to all students regardless of innate 

ability and are truly reflective of the emphasis upon personal excellence 

promoted at CBC Fremantle. The criterion for these certificates is a minimum 

of 85% positive indicators on each of the first three school reports issued 

during the year. While this standard is very high it is achievable for each 

boy. The broad cross-section of students receiving this award reinforces 

the place of clearly defined criteria and targets in the effective education of 

young men. 

The Rite Journey 

I’m sure that all families have been able to follow the progress of our new 

Year 9 program, The Rite Journey, through the regular updates which have 

been provided in this newsletter throughout the year. Next week marks one 

of the major activities associated with this program when all boys will spend 

some time camping in Bindoon. We wish all of the students and staff involved 

a safe and enjoyable time away. 

In our Prayers 

All members of our CBC Fremantle community are invited to keep Mr Ben 

Foley and his family in their thoughts and prayers during the coming months. 

Mr Foley has been diagnosed with a serious illness and will not be returning 

to teach his classes for the rest of this year. Ben has expressed his gratitude 

for the good wishes he has already received from our community and I have 

assured him of our ongoing support.

Visual Arts 

Exhibition 

Wednesday, 24 October saw 

the opening of CBC Fremantle’s 

Annual Visual Arts Exhibition. The 

doors opened at 7pm with a flow 

of people entering and inspired by 

the magnificent display of work 

from Years 7 to 12 students. 

Special guest, Mr. Toby Bell 

officially opened the exhibition. 

Toby is a Fremantle based 

figurative sculptor and painter 

who is also a GP. He works using 

traditional techniques in 

bronze, acrylics, oils and in 

contemporary materials. Toby 

has exhibited both nationally 

and internationally. In 2010 

he was the winner of the City 

of Swan Sculpture Prize and 

produced a large scale work 

names Caliban, which was 

created for Sculpture by the 

Sea 2012, and explores the 

passion and power of male and female 

energy present within each individual. It 

was wonderful to see Mrs Zoe Francis in 

attendance with her family and we wish 

her well during her maternity leave. 

Matthew Brown was awarded the 

Principal’s Award and a total of 53 students 

were awarded Excellence Awards for their 

commitment and development within the Art department throughout 

the year. 

A huge thank you goes to the Parent Council members; each year they take the 

time to prepare and set up the food and drinks; Mr Tony Pitos; Mrs Fiona Williams and 

Mr Shane Mancuso. Lastly thank you to all the families, friends and staff for attending the 

opening night. The boys get a real buzz seeing their work on display and we appreciate your

information Communication technology 

ICT at the College is allowing the students to display their talents in many ways. With the implementation of the laptops 

and the world class software packages throughout the school, we are seeing some amazing work produced across all 

learning areas. Within the Computing electives, we are honing the boys’ skills to assist them in being creative, engaged 

learners across all their subjects. Some examples of what areas the boys will explore in computing this term are outlined 

below. 

Our Year 8 boys are putting the final touches on their Short Films in preparation for the judging of the best film during 

Week 5. The theme for the movie is “The Sign”. The boys have to make a two minute film using their Adobe software and 

then present their films to the wider school community during a selected lunchtime. The College population will judge the 

best film and prizes will be awarded to the winning film makers. 

The Year 9 students are currently investigating electronic publications and will be producing an interactive publication of 

their own later this term. The task will involve the integration of text, graphics and video into an on-line publication. The 

software they are using (In-Design) is an industry standard package that is used to produce many publications across 

all types of media in the commercial space. 

Using the latest Adobe Suite of products, the boys are currently developing their own “Apps” for mobile devices. 

Beginning with a simple golf game, students will progress to drawing packages and their own custom Apps. They will be 

able to upload these to their mobile devices at the conclusion of the term.

Year 8 retreat 

On Tuesday, 23 October the Year Eight cohort embarked on their retreat to East 

Fremantle Football Oval. The aim and purpose of this day was to allow the students 

to express themselves as well as gain a wealth of knowledge on virtues associated 

with CBC. Some of the day was spent in small discussion groups of ten or eleven 

led by the Year Eleven Prefects. These prefects were particularly useful as it 

enabled the younger students to interact with others who had experienced the same 

situations that the Year Eights were facing. Some of the virtues that were placed 

under importance were those of courage, confidence, tolerance, honesty, reliability, 

determination, perseverance, self-discipline and respect. For each of these topics, a 

talk was prepared by a prefect and delivered to the whole Year Eight cohort. These 

were incredible moments when the young students fell absolutely silent and looked 

to their older peers for guidance and help. After some footy on the oval, the day 

was brought to an end with each student writing a positive affirmation to every other 

individual in their group. This was a very proud moment to witness as students 

offered their encouraging comments to one another. As a whole, the day was a 

great success with no doubt in the minds of those that run the program, that every 

young gentleman had left the retreat with a greater knowledge of virtues or a new 

found way of expressing themselves. Each young Year Eight student made a firm 

commitment to work on one virtue during Term 4. Father Tony Maher ran a healing 

service and anointed each student with holy oil as a sign of their commitment into 

the future. 

John Hayes Yr 11 House Prefect 

Special thanks go to the following Year 11 boys for their diligent preparation and 

commitment to the retreat. I congratulate each of these boys for their enthusiasm 

and the sharing of their virtues with the Year 8 boys. Riley Howell, Tim Arnott, 

Carl Mignacca, Alex Skinner, Luke Prendergast, Alessandro Monaco, Kai Plunkett, 

John Hayes, James Rayner, Kale Miller, Matthew Minervini, Shae Davies, Jeremy 

Fletcher, Marc Bonanno, Mitchell Palmer, Rafael Leone, Ben Anandappa, Thomas 

White, Damian Lagesse, Matthew French, Rohan Grant, Tom Martella, Simon 

Smith, Oran O’Connor, Jonathon O’Neill, Thomas Godsall. 


Year 10 retreat 

On Thursday 25 October, 55 Year Ten students embarked on their retreat at the East Fremantle Function Centre. The 

retreat was coordinated by the Salvation Army Community and Schools Development Section. The aim and purpose 

of this day was to raise the level of awareness of drug and alcohol issues in a program promoted as “beyond the 

Classroom”. A youthful team from the Salvation Army engaged our boys with confronting facts in an educational and 

forceful manner. Videos relevant to the issues were well received and discussion was plentiful. One very challenging 

session involved the real life “confessions” of a reformed drug and alcohol addict. This very sobering and genuine talk 

by a very remarkable young man who was prepared to share his story with us was a highlight of the retreat. The boys 

appeared to embrace the day and speakers, the ice-breakers at the beginning and the many activities which kept the 

boys focused throughout the day. It is hoped that an awareness of the issues surrounding drug and alcohol addiction 

that cause so much grief and sadness in our community was heightened.

Year 11 river Cruise 

Many of the Year 11 boys are eagerly anticipating the Year 11 River Cruise which will be held on Tuesday, 13 November. 

The boys have invited their own partners and will no doubt be looking forward to the evening. Many of the College staff 

have kindly offered to attend and help with supervision. 

The students will cruise on the Captain Cook Cruises - MV James Stirling. Drop off and pick up will be from the Barrack 

Street Jetty, Perth. Students should aim to arrive around 7pm to ensure that the cruise is able to commence on time at 

7:15pm. The cruise will finish at 10:30pm sharp and all students are expected to be met by their parents. There will be 

an opportunity for the students to purchase some light snacks (cool drinks, chips, etc.) on board. The boys are reminded 

that the dress for the evening is semi-formal - they will be required to wear dress pants (NOT jeans) and a collared shirt. 

It is hoped that the River Cruise will continue to be a special event for future Year 11s and it is expected that all students 

will respect the College’s high expectations on the evening.
