Athletics Carnival in the Newsroom. From the PrincipalThe Arts and BoysThe College Arts programme has been

very much to the fore in recent times, with

staff and students busy with a variety of

artistic activities and performances. As

has been frequently mentioned, it is

critically important for a boys’ school to

have a strong presence in the Arts and for

students with particular talents in this area

to be appropriately recognised.

One significant event occurred on a recent

Sunday when more than 200 members

of our community spent the afternoon

and early evening at the Swan Yacht

Club enjoying the talents of our young

musicians. Congratulations to Mr Shane

Mancuso, the many peripatetic Music

tutors and the members of the Music

Parent Group on the presentation of a very

successful occasion. Of course, a special

commendation is due to each of the

musicians who shared their special gifts

with the audience.

During this week audiences have been

entertained by three performances of

our College production, Animal Farm.

This complex drama, which has meaning

at many different levels, was presented

courtesy of the wonderful talents of a

dedicated group of students and staff. Our

young men have gifts to share in many

areas of endeavour and those pertaining

to the Performing Arts were clearly evident

over these three nights.

Special thanks and congratulations to our

College Drama teacher, Ms Rosalba Jeffreys,

whose skill and creativity overcame the

CBC Fremantle Newsletter | Week 11 Term 2 | Page 3

staging difficulties inherent in producing

such a multifaceted play. Thank you also

to the many other staff and students

who assisted with rehearsals, helped in

constructing the set or worked backstage

at performances. A further thank you to

all of the members of our community who

attended this production in support of

our boys.

The Music Performance Evening on

Monday provided another opportunity

for our musicians to display their talents.

In addition to the more experienced

and accomplished performers, parents

in attendance were also able to assess

the progress of their sons who are in the

earlier stages of their musical careers.

Another feature of this night was the

performance of a number of solo and

group vocalists and it is always wonderful

to see and hear the benefits of the tuition

these boys are receiving.

Our Visual Art students are enjoying

the services of a resident artist whilst

continuing to work on projects that will

form the content for our annual College

exhibition in October. In addition, some

of them are engaged in the design and

creation of a mosaic reflecting our tagline

‘Today’s boys…tomorrow’s gentlemen’ that

will be on public display before the end of

the year. The talent and creativity of our

young artists often seems boundless.

Promoting the Arts is an important

function of all schools and the creativity

encouraged through the broad

participation of our young men is critical

to their full development. I know that

our parents appreciate the selfless work

undertaken in this regard by all of the

staff in the Arts Learning Area. There are

many opportunities made available to

the boys in the areas of Music, Art and

Drama and I commend those students

who involve themselves so enthusiastically

in these activities.

Athletics CarnivalOur House Athletics Carnival was held in

perfect conditions at the State Athletics

Centre last Friday. The style of our carnival

promotes participation with a focus

upon each competitor striving to do

their best. Among the many outstanding

performances, it was pleasing to see so

many boys engaged in healthy competition

and enjoying the day. A special thank you

Semester BreakAt the conclusion of another very busy term which has included

examinations and reports, I hope that all staff and students enjoy a

well-deserved and revitalising break. I am aware that many families

take the opportunity to travel during the school holidays and we

wish each of them a safe and enjoyable time away from home.

School resumes for all students on Tuesday 21 July.

by Riley Burke (Year 11)

The people of Perth were treated to a very

special visit from His Holiness the 14th

Dalai Lama of Tibet. Lachie Hinton and

I accompanied Mr Burgio to the Octagon

Theatre at UWA to hear his address

delivered on The Importance of Education.

He is known for his wisdom and speaks

to audiences around the globe on topics

such as peace, love, compassion and

happiness. He spoke of how love and

affection is crucial in educating youth to

become compassionate leaders in the

Sharing words of wisdom21st Century. I thought for a moment

about how fortunate we are at CBC to

have teachers who offer their support and

guidance on our journey from a young man

to a gentleman and how this support has

encouraged me to strive for excellence and

look to lead others.

Amongst his humorous comments for

which he is well known, the Dalai Lama

shared his inspirational belief that our

educated youth are the key to solving our

social issues to create a more peaceful

society. He also encouraged Indigenous

Australians to become influential figures

of society but urged them to retain their

spiritual connections with their culture.

There are many inspirational people that

share their words of wisdom with others

in the hope that it will encourage them to

spread the word and make a difference. On

Monday I was lucky enough to experience

such an occasion.

“Forget your differences, love one another

and unite to create a peaceful and

harmonious world.” – The 14th Dalai Lama

of Tibet.

On Sunday 5 July, 19 musicians from Years

10 to 12 will be travelling to Singapore for

a week of musical activities.

The Music students will be performing at

the BluJaz Café and the SingJazz Club, as

well as joining in their jam sessions. The

group will be visiting the Yio Chu Kang

Secondary School and participating in their

band rehearsal. Also on the schedule are

concerts by the Soundpainting Orchestra,

Jazz it Up Concert and the Thomson Big

Band. This has members of all ages and it

will be a great chance to make contacts

from the Singapore music scene.

This tour would not be possible without

the support of the CBC Music Parent

Group, which helped by subsidising the

cost for each student, and to Mrs Emma

Tandy for accompanying the tour.

Thank you also to Mr Mancuso who has

organised the whole tour and put in an

enormous effort to make it a successful

and rewarding trip.

Familes are welcome to follow the tour on

the tour’s Facebook page.

The 1st XVIII have booked their place in

the Grand Final of the 2015 Schoolboys’

Redimed Cup with a strong team

performance against a skilful Warwick

Senior High School.

The game was fast paced and hard fought

with boys stepping up and playing key roles

on the day as the team was restricted to

two on the bench for the entire game.

Congratulations to Lucas Perich who made

his debut for the 1st XVIII and played a key

role in the ruck.

The competition was tight and demanded

huge efforts from the back six who

contested hard all game. Joseph Caputi

and Matthew Geaney were solid containing

their full forward and centre half forward,

while Kyle Mirco and Sam Timewell

continued their good form from the

previous week. The pressure from the back

six on the ball carriers was instrumental

in the win as they weathered some strong

attacks.

At the other end, playing forward, Joseph

Eardley and Ambrose Ryan made full use

of their opportunities in front of goal,

while Thomas Eastaugh and Jonathan

Frampton provided targets for the midfield

all game. The composure and balance

of Tom Monaghan and Brodee Knight in

the midfield and Tyler Sorrell’s work in

contested situations gave the forward

line first use most of the game. The work

rate of Jordan Biondillo and his ability to

influence the game with pressure acts was

outstanding and he led the way for his

team mates.

Overall it was an excellent team effort

and the boys should be proud of what

they have achieved, earning a place in the

Grand Final.

Community cookbook: a call for recipes

CBC Fremantle is proud to be a part of raising good young men

of our community, who have the skills and courage to face and

overcome challenges and to form positive, mutually beneficial

relationships. The gentlemen of CBC are the guardians of the

future, and their positive male contribution to our society

provides us all with hope and faith in a better world.

To highlight the journey from today’s boy to tomorrow’s

gentleman, CBC is planning to produce a community cookbook

celebrating all that is nurturing and resilient about our young men

and their families. A timeless collection of recipes that encourages

our young men to be culinary heroes from their first foray in the

kitchen, whether it is coping with a simple breakfast for Mother’s

Day, wooing a romantic interest (it will happen!), or providing

hearty meals for their children when the time comes.

How you can help• Submit your favourite family recipe to us with specific quantities

(eg millilitres, grams, tablespoons, cups, etc, and in Australian

standard measuring) and easy to follow instructions. Your recipes

will need to be tried and tested prior to submission to ascertain the

correct quantities.

• Please specify how many people the recipe will feed.

• We are specifically seeking dishes that hold a place in your heart,

and are particularly enjoyed by your son. If your contribution is

included, your family will be acknowledged in the final publication.

• Degree of difficulty is from zero to hero, but tasty dishes with

a focus on classic simplicity appealing to all ages would be

particularly suitable.

• Recipes will need to be in a ‘cut and paste’ format, for example

included in the body of an email or in a Word document.

You are invited to contribute to our community cookbook and help us acknowledge the traditions of our College, the love and support of our families, and the journey of today’s boys…tomorrow’s gentlemen.

CBC Fremantle Newsletter | Week 11 Term 2 | Page 15

• Your submission may not make the final book – but don’t let

that hold you back. The sooner you send in your fabulous family

recipe, the better the chance that it will be included.

• Stories about the dish are also happily accepted, for example

who passed on the recipe, which cuts of meat are best, or

perhaps a particular occasion when you served the dish.

CBC has a long and proud association with the Fremantle

community, so please feel free to mention particular landmarks

or places you shop if appropriate to your tale.

Timeline and other details

It is hoped to produce the CBC cookbook in time for your

Christmas shopping, therefore the deadline for submitting your

recipes is 8 May 2015.

The publication will sell for cost price and be available to purchase

for members of the CBC community and extended families and

friends.Please address any enquiries to Cherie Butcher at

events@cbcfremantle.wa.edu.au or 9430 2001.
