Welcome to this latest edition of Touchstone. Throughout this issue you will detect a focus on the metaphor of Journey which has become a popular motif for much of our activity at the College. From the perspective of our school, the journey of our students from today’s boys to tomorrow’s gentlemen is one which we seek to support as each family attempts to foster this critical transition.

Although we try to plan many parts of our lives, few things actually eventuate as we intend them. This is also often true of the plans that parents make for their sons. But to expect young boys to make the transition to manhood without explicit assistance and direction is fraught with danger and frequently leads to misguided adolescent behaviour such as that reported all too often in the popular media. We have moved towards a society where, rather than welcoming boys into the world of adulthood with all of its wonders, liberties and responsibilities, we simply ‘launch’ them into the same world with inadequate guidance or preparation.

Gareth Andrews, a former VFL footballer with Richmond and Geelong, is also the founder of the Life Again Foundation which lists as its primary objective ‘connecting men through times of change’. The following story appears on their website.

touchstone | Vol 3 No 1 Winter 20154

By the time my youngest boy Zac was about to turn 13, I had thought of a couple of things I could do to help him in his journey from ‘boyhood’ to ‘manhood’. I didn’t think they were all that special at the time, but after talking with Gareth Andrews, I realised that I had helped to mark an important milestone in his journey.

My discussion with Gareth highlighted how mostly ill prepared for these transitions we are. Zac was nearly at the end of his 12th year on this planet. I said I would take him to breakfast for his 13th birthday. Dressed in his school uniform he thought we would be going around the corner to a local cafe.

Instead we headed to Avalon Airport. “I’m taking you to Sydney for breakfast,” I said (I had packed a bag for him which was concealed in the boot). We headed to Sydney and that evening we completed the Twilight Bridge climb over Sydney Harbour. The following day we went canyoning in the Blue Mountains before heading home.

A day or so after his birthday, I got a bunch of my good mates together and invited Zac to be our special guest. Although the discussion involved a lot of light stuff that night, my mates also talked about the challenges (and delights) of being a man. The highlight of that evening for me was when one of my good friends handed $100 cash to Zac and said, “Take your mum out somewhere special for dinner.”

From the Principal

I’ve always remembered his generosity and clear message to Zac to respect and be thankful to his mother. It was a defining moment for both of us. Zac and I formed a very special bond over those few days. We honored his transition into ‘manhood’ and shared important values. Values I hope he holds dear forever.

It is often said that the future belongs to those who plan for it. There is little doubt that planning for the future of their children is one of the most important activities in which any parent can engage. As a school, we seek to support parents in this vital task. With proper guidance, the journey of our boys towards becoming gentlemen has the potential to be as exciting as it is critical.

The CBC JourneyFrom today’s boys to tomorrow’s gentlemen

CBC Fremantle holds some very specific aspirations for its graduates. Succinctly captured by the tagline ‘Today’s boys…tomorrow’s gentlemen’, the CBC journey is carefully planned to foster a sense of belonging and identity in each young man who attends the College without ever losing sight of the end result. From the initial decision to enrol at CBC Fremantle, made in the home and in the hearts of our parents and their sons, through to graduation, every interaction between the College and the young man and his family contributes towards crafting the graduating gentleman.

The journey is a shared endeavour, with the relationship between parents and the College playing a critical role in the effectiveness of delivering a consistent message about what it means to develop as a good young man and to challenge the secular and often self-destructive values they encounter as part of mainstream society. This entails the school being necessarily counter-cultural; emphasis is on prioritising the needs of others, particularly the disadvantaged and marginalised, and is frequently in opposition to the more hedonistic priorities of our world.

The steps of the journeyThe journey of today’s boys…tomorrow’s gentlemen is captured in those three small dots, but there is no special magic in the transformation, no invisible strings or fine print. CBC Fremantle’s community is accepting and welcoming, fostering positive relationships and committed to the common good, and there are tangible landmarks along the journey to reflect the purpose and direction of the boys’ growth and transition.

“The journey is a shared endeavour, with the relationship between parents and the College playing a critical role in the effectiveness of delivering a consistent message about what it means to develop as a good young man...”


Feature Article

Choosing CBC – the start of the journey and a commitment from the new student and parents to support the College’s values.College Opening Mass – Encourages our families to support and honour the College’s faith community as a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition.Share the Journey – Educates our young men to engage in deep connection with the most important man in their life – Dad.The Rite Journey – nurtures boys on their transition from boyhood to becoming a man.Recommitment – offering an opportunity for the developing young men to commit to seeking personal excellence and plan for their future.The Servant Leader – showing the value of selflessness and putting others first.Graduation – the result of dedication and commitment, and distinguished by the significant characteristics outlined below.

Tomorrow’s gentleman forms attitudes and actions based on Gospel values.The College believes that Gospel values are immutable, may be embraced equally by people of all faiths and should underpin the relationships between all members of our community. Critical to the achievement of this

vision is a shared understanding and acceptance of the specific values which we uphold. These values are then required to be explicitly expressed, consistently applied and unapologetically promoted.

Tomorrow’s gentleman strives to be his best and understands the inherent value of doing so.The quest for personal excellence is an admirable aspiration which is widely employed as an ideal in many schools. At CBC Fremantle, we introduce a further refining concept which has far reaching implications and offers greater challenge around this ideal. We adopt the mantra that once a boy offers his best in any field of endeavour, it is always good enough. This cultural belief necessitates that every activity conducted at the College must be differentiated to such an extent that every student enjoys success if they provide their best effort.


Tomorrow’s gentleman is accountable, resilient and prepared to face and overcome challenges. At CBC Fremantle we ask all parents to love their sons unconditionally and to support the school in keeping them accountable for their actions. We acknowledge that this can be a delicate balance but it is critical to the establishment of the essential coping techniques which are characteristic of the well-formed young adult. It is only through discovering that they must accept responsibility for their shortcomings and that being accountable builds resilience, that the young men at this College will be prepared to successfully cope with the more complex challenges of adulthood.

Tomorrow’s gentleman is selfless by nature and able to form positive, mutually-beneficial relationships. Many of the strong influences in the life of an adolescent (media, music, peers) attempt to position the young person

as the ‘centre of the world’. In an attempt to promote consumerism and the accompanying materialistic focus, the message is promulgated that the path to happiness lies in prioritising ‘self’. The Christian message which forms the foundation of our school’s philosophy could not be more diametrically opposed. It presents the truth that the only lasting happiness one will find, and the only enduring sense of purpose one can attain, is derived from what is done for others, and not for oneself.

Tomorrow’s gentleman recognises and values the ‘other’ in his life. At CBC Fremantle we believe that God often comes to each of us disguised as the stranger in our lives. This ‘other’ can be the stranger in the sense that they are not personally known to us or they can be the person who offers us the greatest challenge to our beliefs. The stranger is likely to be the individual who challenges our values and forces us to reconsider our actions. Although this ‘stranger’ can often have an unsettling effect upon us, they also represent significant opportunities for growth. An inclusive community is not characterised by a totally like-minded cohort.

The College Opening Mass is a celebration of the Eucharist and as such the ‘source and summit of our Faith’ (Vatican II), but I would like to reflect on how this Liturgy links with the theme of journey and the number of different people involved in putting this celebration together.

The ‘Church’ is the people not the building and the most important part of the Liturgy in its human context is the congregation. Our College Opening Mass reflects the commitment of many in our community to celebrate our faith in an authentic and meaningful way.Before the College Opening Mass was even written our senior student Special Ministers had met during the holidays with Mrs McGoorty and Miss Garbin to discuss their important role and how they can best understand it and be involved experientially and practically. They remain our College Special Ministers throughout the year and hopefully will continue this service in their parishes as they leave school on their journey in the greater Catholic community.

Other students also chose to be involved in the Mass. The Altar Servers already understand the importance of being committed and taking responsibility for things that need to be done. They have undertaken their own training in their own parishes and offer to share their skills and experience with the CBC community. The Band and Choir spend many hours developing their skills and know the importance that their musical talent and vocal abilities bring to a Liturgy. St Augustine is quoted as saying, “To sing is to pray twice,” and those of us perhaps less talented but happy to join in know how much these students and teachers contribute to our enjoyment of Mass.

Our readers may come from a variety of faith experiences and in their journey they recognise the importance of being involved and working together on something to make a successful celebration.

The flag bearers, chair movers, visible and invisible students too many to name, come together from many different places in their lives and faiths to be a team that contributes to the celebration of the Eucharist in a way that is authentic for them and for the College.

There is also another important group vital to the success of our community Liturgy. Gravissimum Educationis acknowledges parents as the primary educators of their children. Long before all our Special Ministers, Altar Servers, musicians, readers, flag bearers, chair movers and numerous helpers became students at CBC, their parents introduced them to their faith, ideas, values and responsibilities. Our Opening Mass is unique for us as a school as it is the only time that all our students and all our families come together to celebrate the Liturgy. In turning up with their children, parents and families demonstrate to the boys the importance of standing together in support and prioritising the importance of tradition and faith. We may come from different faiths or be at different stages of our own spiritual journeys, but as a community we come together to recognise the importance of spiritual growth and the authenticity of choosing to be involved in a school in the tradition of Edmund Rice.

CBC Fremantle’s new School Ambassador initiative provides Year 10 students with a practical opportunity to contribute to the school community and enhance communication and management skills.

Students are rostered on a specific day to assist with special tasks assigned by the Pastoral Care and Leadership teams. The eager helpers can be engaged in administrative projects, communicating urgent messages, running errands and helping with College functions.

The programme has been embraced by the Year 10 cohort who appreciate gaining a deeper understanding of the operation of the school and the internal structure of an organisation, as well as developing relationships with members of the College community.

for the 25 April Dawn Service held at the Anzac Commemorative Site. Later that morning, along with 8,000 other Australians, Riley also experienced a service at Lone Pine, which was the site of the highest casualties of the Gallipoli campaign and the location of 1,167 graves of Australian soldiers.

The tour had a profound effect on the young man whose great-grandfather was a member of the 11th Battalion and who survived to return to Fremantle and raise a family. Riley hopes to have a career in the United Nations one day, and grasp the opportunities denied to thousands of young men who never returned to their homes.

Riley’s winning essay appears on the following pages.

Riley Faulds stood on the beaches of Gallipoli and watched the sunrise one hundred years after his great-grandfather landed at the same site at Anzac Cove as part of the Allies campaign to capture Constantinople in World War 1.

The Year 11 student was privileged to be at the centenary anniversary in Gallipoli as part of the Premier’s Anzac Student Tour, an opportunity that he described as a life-changing experience.

Riley and 31 other Western Australian students were selected from more than 1,000 hopefuls who submitted essays responding to the topic, In 1915 the Anzacs bequeathed a powerful legacy to future generations of Australians; examine the importance of this legacy and what it means to you as a young West Australian.

Riley’s essay showed a deep understanding of the Anzacs through his connection with his great-grandfather, and the opportunities he enjoys because of their ultimate sacrifice in that far away land.

With the Premier’s tour, Riley travelled to Istanbul for a few days exploration before heading to Gallipoli peninsula

Experiencing Gallipoli


Every day of my life so far, I have woken up in a comfortable bed, in a clean room, in a safe house. I’ve got myself up, perhaps turned on the instantly hot water and had a shower, eaten a big breakfast and taken my pick of the seemingly endless combinations of clothing on offer in my closet. On some days, I’ve been driven or caught the bus to my Fremantle school, where I spend the day learning new things and enjoying myself with my mates. On others, I’ve got up at the crack of dawn to train for or play hockey, with more of my mates. Sometimes,

I don’t even get up until the afternoon; because sometimes I deserve a break. But then on one day every year, I wake up early and head to Monument Hill, just down the road from my hockey club and up the road from school, to help usher in a day that has special significance. Side by side with my Papa, my mother’s father, I stand on the hill and look out to sea as The Last Post plays and the silent morning is lit by the rising sun; the same sun that many men and boys watched

Riley Faulds from Year 11 submitted this winning essay to the Premier’s Anzac Student Tour addressing the following topic: In 1915, the Anzacs bequeathed a powerful legacy to future generations of Australians.

rise as they crawled, walked and ran up a different hill, in a different century, in a different land.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.

But my 25 April morning is very different to theirs. For one thing, I am not being sighted through the crosshairs of a Mehmet rifle, or being dragged to the earth by an immensely heavy pack containing, amongst other things, the only reminders of home I would see for the next months or even years. In fact, standing on the Hill, I am home: my house is less than 10 minutes away, my family stand next to me and the only reason I will be leaving home in the near future is for a holiday down south or an adventure overseas. For the 16,000 men of the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th Battalions of the 1st Australian Division of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, their living hell on the explosive, violent beach at Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli Peninsula, in modern-day Turkey, was as far removed from their homes as they could

have imagined; and what they did in those months left a legacy that allows me to have such a great place to call home.

Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.

The men of the 11th Battalion are the soldiers to whom I feel closest, for they were from Perth and WA and set out from the harbour that I watch from Monument Hill every Anzac Day. In the famous photograph of the Battalion taken on the steps of the ancient pyramid of Cheops, before the horrors of war were witnessed, my own great-grandfather sits proudly, arms folded across his chest, at the top of the group of men and boys, alone to the right of centre. 105 days later, he and his mates would be fighting, living and dying, in a strange land, for their deep love of their nation and to >>

safeguard its future. My great-grandfather, Papa’s father, Francis Keith Wyalong Marshall, would die some 30 years later from a wound he sustained midway through the Gallipoli campaign.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted.

As my Papa and I stand there on the Hill, we are most likely thinking of different things. He probably thinks of his beloved father, storming the Cove on one of the first cover party boats to land on the shingle beach and what was going through his mind and what he was experiencing. I think of this too and of the horrors experienced by so many men and women during the War, including two other great-grandfathers on the Western Front. But then, I look around me at the Hill, the old town and the port and think, perhaps surprisingly, of my own life. I think of my family, my friends, my school and my city; of my dog and my hockey sticks and my pool and going down south or up north. And I thank my lucky stars that there were men courageous and honourable enough to go to fight a war that seemed hardly relevant to their own lives, in order to allow myself, my family, my state and my country, to thrive, to prosper, to survive.

They fell with their faces to the foe.

When I think of the Anzacs and their legacy, I really don’t think of their glory on the battlefield or their bravery in the face of insurmountable odds. War is rarely, if ever, glorious and their bravery, I believe, wasn’t wondrous. Yes, they were brave, braver than I hope I’ll ever have to be, but what was wondrous is what this courage has meant for us as Australians and for myself. I am 15 and in possibly the most exciting stage of my life. Anything I dream is possible, if I work for it. And I do dream, I dream big and I like to think I am working towards achieving my dreams. I’d like

to have a career with the United Nations one day. Imagine how novel an idea the United Nations, an organisation of countries around the world united in a common goal, would have seemed to the Australian men and women who went off to the Great War. But, indirectly, these men and women were some amongst many that have made the idea possible and made the world the way it is. These men fought for not only their own survival, but for the survival of our nation.

The Great War changed the world, made it smaller; what happened in the far reaches of the globe could now affect everyone, even us Aussies. And as I walk down the Hill to have a hearty breakfast before heading to the Anzac march, I always reflect. Thank goodness the Anzac soldiers helped make sure the world changed for the better, for Australia and for me.

The eagerly anticipated re-opening of CBC Fremantle’s Canteen took place on the first day of Term 2 with enthusiastic customers making the most of the new facility.

The expansion and refurbishment of the Canteen eases traffic congestion in this popular break-time stopover, with two replicated sections and three points of sale allowing split year groups to move through with more ease.

Four staff operate the Canteen, with full-time Manager Mrs Karen Spence and her assistant Mrs Sarah Grant supported by part-timers Mrs Ronnie McPhail and Mrs Leonie Radonich. Behind the scenes a new walk-in freezer and storeroom complement the commercial kitchen preparation benches, while heated and chilled self-serve display cabinets maintain the food at optimum temperature as the boys select their tucker.

The rebuild is part of the College’s capital development plan and was included in a $1million joint project with the new Science rooms that were also ready for use at the beginning of the Term.

CBC Fremantle’s powerful signature event, Share the Journey, was held on a stunning autumn morning at Point Walter on a Sunday in April.

More than 200 Year 7 boys accompanied by their dads enjoyed a few hours walking along the banks of the Swan River, passing local legendary landmarks including Blackwall Reach and the old Bicton Quarantine Station, and enjoying the sunshine and conversation as they strolled along.

The Parent Auxiliary initiative is in its seventh year at CBC and serves as a simple reminder to dads about the critical function they play in the lives of their sons. With the help of talks delivered by 2013 College Captain, Alex Skinner, and his dad Michael, the morning emphasised the fact that quality moments of connection between fathers and their sons sometimes need to be consciously arranged, or the opportunities can quickly pass by in the busy schedule of daily life.

Before the walk, CBC Vice Principal Mr Domenic Burgio spoke to the young men about the important role of fathers. Pointing to the dads gathered at a distance, Mr Burgio spoke of the unconditional love and support they will experience from the most significant male figure in their lives. Right on cue his mobile phone rang and he enjoyed a brief chat with his son about the value of the walk they had participated in several years ago before sending the boys off to join their dads.

Principal Mr Shaun Kenny describes these opportunities as accruing ‘frequent father points’ and commended the dads present for making this essential investment in their sons.

After the walk, the dads presented their boys with Share the Journey badges to wear on their College blazers and enjoyed a well-earned drink and sausage sizzle prepared by Year 12 volunteers.

CBC Fremantle boys bridged the generation gap and immersed themselves in living history as part of the Museum of Moving Objects’ (MOMO) Great Men by Great Boys project.

Year 9 Society & Environment extension students had an unique opportunity to record the oral histories of elderly men living at Aegis Aged Care in Hilton, with their fascinating stories ultimately being curated into an exhibition. Students spoke with gentlemen who have lived full and interesting lives, with tales of war-time experiences and visiting exotic locations being recalled, as well as fond memories of boyhood antics at local Fremantle haunts.

The boys, who were born at the birth of the 21st century, hung on every word, asking questions and gaining an insight into a generation who witnessed the introduction of many global phenomena the young men mostly take for granted.

The elderly gentlemen were happy to also speak about their grand and great-grandchildren and their hobbies and lifestyle in the aged care facility.

To return the hospitality of the elders, the boys hosted a morning tea at the College a few weeks later and thanked the ‘great men’ for their contribution to the project and to their education.

MOMO’s Great Men by Great Boys project is sponsored by Alzheimers WA and the City of Fremantle and the interractive exhibition will be presented in June at the Fremantle Town Hall.

Magical journey for AEP

With an itinerary including some of the USA’s most iconic landmarks of modern endeavour, 36 CBC Fremantle Academic Excellence Programme (AEP) students were treated to the trip of a lifetime over the April school holidays.

AEP encourages academically talented students, and the inaugural 13 day tour was designed to highlight the rewards of seeking personal excellence at the highest level. The excitement kicked off with a day at NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre in Orlando where the boys were thrilled to have lunch with four-time shuttle astronaut, Don Thomas, and learn about the past and future of space travel.

While still in Florida, the boys also visited Wonderworks for an educational and entertaining experience of practical demonstrations of classroom science, and spent some time being shown the ecosystem of the local wetlands from the comfort of a speedy airboat. Visits to Disney World

and Universal Studios were a must for the travellers, and many boyhood dreams were fulfilled when they spent a morning with instructors at the Astronaut Hall of Fame being physically trained for space exploration and then participating in their own simulated shuttle mission.

The action-packed trip also included a tour of Washington DC, while in New York the boys experienced the 9/11 Memorial at the World Trade Centre site and indulged in some retail therapy on Fifth Avenue.

Since his first flight in a Cessna, Tim Peterson has wanted to fly, and the Year 12 CBC Fremantle student had his dream come true when he flew solo for the first time.

In preparation for his solo debut, Tim tackled nine days of extensive lectures and theory lessons in which topics including climbing and descending, stalls, emergency glide approaches and emergency landings were put into practise in a Cessna 152. Tim experienced almost eight hours of flying with an instructor before the final test, and the budding pilot was thrilled to be flying over the Murray Field aerodrome with an empty passenger seat beside him.

Tim’s flying course was subsided by the Australian Air Force Cadets, and in the future Tim hopes to join the Air Force as a Pilot or Officer. Meanwhile, the flying course has helped him along the path to earning a Recreational Pilot’s License.

The final year students of CBC enjoyed a magical night at the Year 12 social calendar highlight, the College Senior Ball.

The young men looked every inch tomorrow’s gentlemen beside their partners as they joined their friends in the elegant Southern Cross Ballroom at the Fremantle Esplanade Hotel.

Mocktails were served on arrival followed by a sit-down buffet dinner. The girls’ colourful gowns were then fully appreciated as the couples circled the floor for the formal dancing set.

While the dance floor was radiant with every colour of the rainbow, striking scarlet was a popular colour choice for the young ladies’ gowns, accessorised with simple hairstyles of loose curls and softly pinned up-dos.

Dancing continued until midnight and the Class of 2015 was grateful for the chance of a Sunday morning sleep-in the next day.

A week in the art heart of Sydney set the creative juices flowing for 16 CBC Fremantle Visual Art students during the April school holidays.

Accompanied by Art teacher Ms Zoe Francis and Head of Arts Mr Shane Mancuso, the students had the privilege of exploring the city’s streets and culture, with visits to the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge providing a perfect perspective challenge for the artists.

Opportunities to capture the landscape of Sydney’s famous eastern beaches of Bondi and Manly resulted in particularly successful art pieces, but it was the Brett Whitely Studio that really excited the boys’ creativity with fast paced collage-making capturing the energy and spirit of the visit.

On the last day, the boys had the fantastic opportunity to try their hand at set and costume design at the internationally acclaimed National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA), rounding off the intense Art learning curve of the Sydney Visual Arts Tour.

Wilyabrup cliff challengeYear 12 Outdoor Education students stepped outside their comfort zone with an abseiling and rock climbing adventure at Wilyabrup, north of Gracetown.

The boys had prepared for the challenge by conquering the climbing wall in the College gymnasium and becoming confident with abseil setups before heading south for the extreme experience of tackling the cliffs at Wilyabrup.

We spent the first day driving, surfing and hiking to our campsite at Moses Rocks where we cooked some amazing meals and watched the sunset over the ocean. Rain that night and in the morning didn’t affect our plans and we were up at 6am for breakfast to begin the walk towards our destination by 7am.

The hike along the coast line was breathtaking, with waves crashing on the rocks and the sun coming up over the land. Wilyabrup Cliffs overlook the ocean with spectacular views and four different climb sites, including a 45 metre abseil, which allowed everybody to push themselves and test their abilities.

After a long, hard and satisfying day we headed for Prevelly Caravan Park to set up camp and have a welcome hot shower. After an early night, we slept in until about 6am when the kookaburras decided it was time for us to pack up and head to Mammoth Cave before our long drive home.

Music, Visual Art and Drama students were part of a powerful and moving cross-disciplinary performance at the College’s Easter Liturgy celebrated on Holy Thursday in front of the whole school.

Narrated by Year 11 student Riley Faulds, the presentation followed the story of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, with main characters represented by the voices of Matthew Patron, Lachlan Hinton and College Chaplain Fr Tony Maher.

The spoken delivery was interspersed with Music students Tyler Davies on guitar, and Andrew Armstrong and Emmanuel Terzoudis-Lumsden singing a deep and mesmorising chant in the tradition of the Taizé community in France, which uses repetitive phrases drawn from the Scriptures to encourage reflection and meditation. Throughout the performance, Visual Art students Yusef Hourani and Jack Johnson painted a portrait of Christ, which was concluded with a bold slash of red paint that dripped down the finished canvas.

The simple but dramatic production was the brainwave of CBC’s outgoing Liturgies and Retreats Coordinator, Mrs Darlene McGoorty, and involved a collaborative effort from Head of Arts Mr Shane Mancuso, Choir teacher Mrs Emma Tandy and Visual Art teacher Ms Zoe Francis.

CBC 1st XI Cricket wins T20 shield

The CBC Fremantle 1st XI Cricket team ventured to Peet Park in Kewdale to play in the finals day of the WACA Graeme Wood T20 Cricket competition for the second year in a row.

The day consisted of a semi-final in the morning, followed by the Grand Final in the afternoon. CBC Fremantle was seeking to take out the competition for the first time since 2011 when 2015 Captain Jason Cecchi’s brother captained the victorious team.

In the semi-final CBC was up against Esperance Senior High School. Captain Jason Cecchi lost the toss and Esperance elected to bat. After a pre-game accident to opening bowler Kennedy Sorrell his older brother, Tyler, had the opportunity to open the bowling with Kim Forrest. After seven overs the opening pair had Esperance at 5 for 21, which included a sensational run out from a direct hit by Kaiden Cookson.

With wickets tumbling, Esperance ended up all out for 62 runs. After the break the run chase started shakily, with Tom Monaghan edging to the

keeper in the first over. Kaiden Cookson joined opener Alec Radonich and laid the foundation for a great partnership of 46 runs. Cookson (15) and Radonich (36 off 19 balls) fell just before the victory which was achieved in the ninth over by Jarrod Crowley and Zane Sumich.

Mater Dei College defeated Kent Street High School in the other semi-final, so CBC prepared themselves for a contest. After losing the toss again, the boys went into the field with the opening bowling partnership starting solidly again but unable to get the crucial breakthrough until the eighth over. From then on the bowling from the CBC boys was impeccable, taking the score from 0 for 40 to 9 for 102 after the 20 overs. The bowling team, led by an exceptional performance from Zane Sumich (3 for 15), leg spinner Caiden Guidi (2 for 21), Kim Forrest (1 for 23), Kennedy Sorrell (1 for 20), Ambrose Ryan (1 for 15) and Alec Radonich (1 for 3), gave the batsmen a respectable run chase.


College News

Opening batsmen Radonich and Monaghan started shakily again with Monaghan, Cookson and Crowley all falling cheaply. Sumich joined the free flowing Radonich at the crease and batted with maturity, rotating the strike regularly and allowing Radonich to free his arms when the run rate needed a boost. The partnership took the score from 3 for 43 off 9 overs to a victorious 3 for 104 off 17 overs. Radonich plundered the attack with a match winning 59 not out off 37 balls. This included three sixes and six fours. Sumich finished with 25 not out from 21 deliveries.

A blessed celebrationCBC Fremantle acknowledged the hope and charism of a remarkable man and the founder of the Christian Brothers at a special day of festivities and celebration on Edmund Rice Day.

The special event aims to raise money for the charitable work undertaken in the name of Edmund Rice around the world, with the focus this year on assisting the rebuilding of schools in Sierra Leone, which was devastated by the Ebola crisis.

The festival began with a Mass at St Patrick’s, which included a special blessing of the Christian Brothers who continue to offer their years of educational expertise to the College. Then it was back to the College where the Cloisters was full of fun activities and food, the perfect combination for boys. As usual, the hit of the event was the ‘Dunk Tank’, with quite a few teachers being plunged into icy water with a well-aimed throw.

The traditional Murray Mile – named after Br John Murray who has more than 20 years of association with CBC – was run on Fremantle Park, with winners of each age division claiming the honour of holding the title until next year.

Special guests from St Patrick’s Primary School and the Edmund Rice Centre in Mirrabooka contributed to the community spirit and festive atmosphere.

CBC Teacher Mr Ben Foley passed away on 6 May 2013 but his legacy as a gentleman and mentor lives on in the boys from his Rite Journey class. Year 12 Jack Johnson shares his memories of Mr Foley and the special tribute they paid to commemorate the anniversary of his passing.

Mr Foley’s inspiring legacy


College News

Wednesday 6 May was a special day in the calendar for a very special Rite Journey class. Our year was the first cohort to be involved with the Rite Journey programme. As it was a new addition to the curriculum we didn’t know what to expect, however entering the room for the first time we were welcomed by Mr Foley with open arms and a cheeky smile. The group comprised many shy Year 9 boys, and one extremely passionate teacher who was excited and overjoyed about this new programme.

Mr Foley’s happy nature and contagious charisma allowed us to feel comfortable and in turn we became a tight knit group. Whatever was said in the class was accepted by Mr Foley and never spoken of outside our group, and that was why each of us loved coming to Rite Journey every Tuesday morning. He was more than a teacher; he was a role model and mentor, and the gentleman we all aspired to be.

When Mr Foley became ill and Mr Correia took over, although it was a very sad time, it only made the group closer. Mr Correia reinforced the same attitude Mr Foley had felt so strongly about.

Year 9 Rite Journey was a very significant time in my life, a time when I discovered things about myself, formed bonds with other students and met two inspiring men, who I still look up to today.

Wednesday marked the first time our Rite Journey class had met as a group since 2012, and it was good to reflect on

stories from the year and to celebrate a great man and the part he played in our lives.

In honour of his memory, we had one last Rite Journey class. Led by Mr Correia, we gathered by the beach looking out at the ocean that Mr Foley loved. After sharing a few anecdotes about a man who had such a great influence on our lives, we were then given three red stones. We chose a quiet spot to reflect and on each stone wrote our memories of this remarkable gentleman. Once we had all taken our time to reflect, we gathered again at the beach and skimmed our stones into the ocean where our memories of Mr Foley will stay forever.

We then topped off the occasion with a glorious breakfast at Bathers Beach House. Our group will be forever bonded no matter what individual paths we each take. I hope that one day I too can have the same impact on others that Mr Foley had on each of us.

Thank you, sir.

Going far for Indigenous reconciliation

Mr Baldry points out the remote community of Kiwikurra near Telfer


Staff

CBC Fremantle Coordinator of Indigenous Reconciliation, Mr Peter Baldry, has been commended for his dedication to encouraging a deeper understanding of Aboriginal culture and history and supporting relationships between the College and Indigenous communities at the prestigious Edmund Rice Network (ERN) Awards in March.

Mr Baldry was presented with the Margaret Rice Award for Presence, which celebrates the fostering of hospitable and inclusive relationships with other cultural groups and honours his commitment to educating people about the rich heritage of Australia’s original inhabitants.

With more than 10 years’ experience in leading students on Indigenous immersions, Mr Baldry’s persistent building of strong relationships between the College and the inhabitants of the remote communities of Kiwikurra and Parnngurr has played an important role in developing the social justice awareness of many young men at CBC. Closer to home, his appreciation of the bush and the wonders of nature has introduced many students to

the stories and traditions of local Aborigines, including the communities at Wedge Island and Boyagin Rock, and Perth Noongar elders.

Mr Baldry also initiated an opportunity for parents and members of the ERN to experience a unique journey along the Rabbit Proof Fence in the footsteps of the Moore River settlement’s stolen generation runaways as they sought to return to their land in 1931.

The Indigenous Education programme at CBC has been under Mr Baldry’s direction since its inception and embraces the four guiding Touchstones of the Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) charter: Liberating Education, Gospel Spirituality, Inclusive Community, and Justice and Solidarity.

CBC Fremantle has a proud history dating back to 1882 and I am pleased to highlight that today, 133 years on, the College is in a very good situation. It is a school of choice, is in a sound financial position and is a faithful Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition.

This last decade in particular has built on the good work of our heritage and has been a period of both renewal and growth for CBC. Much has been done on many levels to ensure CBC performs well across all areas and supports boys in their quest to achieve personal excellence.

Central to the growth and success of the College has been the appointment of great staff. We are very fortunate to have Mr Shaun Kenny as our Principal, together with a quality leadership team and a group of motivated and capable teaching and support staff. All of these people have a genuine commitment to the College and students.With the privilege of this solid foundation, the Collegehas been able to implement a broad and encompassingstrategy to build on its position as a school of choice and to continue to offer quality boys’ education.

Some of the College’s achievements in recent years include:

• The development of an outstanding Pastoral Care programme, particularly the introduction of The Rite Journey, which is uniquely designed for Year 9 boys.

• A consistently high academic standard.

• A building programme that has transformed the original school building into our Chapel, outfitted new classrooms, established a more effective Canteen and developed a new Student Services facility.

The College has a bright and exciting future and I am proud to be part of CBC Fremantle.

Parent Auxiliary Report

The Parent Auxiliary helps the College with an impressive range of events and activities and helps build fellowship amongst the community. This year was off to a busy start and it is with great pleasure that the committee and I witnessed a huge amount of support from parents new and old for every single event that the College hosts.

Year 7 Parents’ Morning TeaWe all remember the transition to high school, with the hope, worry and anxiety that accompanies the first day – and that’s just from the parents! The Year 7 Parents’ Morning Tea aimed to relax the new mums and dads, and the Parent Auxiliary was delighted to once again help welcome new faces into the community.

Year 7 Parents’ Wine and Cheese Evening One never tires of the passionate presentations by Ms O’Neill, Mr Kenny and Mr Burgio as they explain to parents the College’s expectations in the year ahead. After the business side of things, a delicious array of hors d’oeuvres and chilled wine was enjoyed in the Cloisters. The weather held out and another superb evening was enjoyed by all who attended.

College Open DayMany hands make light work and so it was when scores of people turned out for the annual Open Day. The parent helpers were on hand with cold drinks and barbecued food to showcase the College’s great community spirit.

Share the Journey Share the Journey is a powerful and significant event that is led by the Parent Auxiliary and fully supported by the College community. A sincere thank you to Alex and Michael Skinner for sharing their own personal relationship journey with nearly 200 dads and their sons who attended this year.

Mothers’ Day Morning TeaMothers’ Day makes use of the men of the PA and their remarkable talent for buttering scones. A wonderful spread was put on for the mums and their boys following a beautiful Liturgy in the College gym. As dads, we were honoured to assist at this heart-warming event.

The Parent Auxiliary thanks the following parents for their generous support in assisting with our events: Mark Hamilton, Nga Holmes, Jacinta Keane, Tim Kullack, Tim McNamara, Joyce Merenda, Tanya Quintilliani, Denise Thomson, Meryl Vaughan and Cathie Wilson.

PalmaCBC Old Boys’ Association

From the President

CBC Fremantle Old Boys’ Association was honoured to welcome our newest recruits from the Class of 2014 at the traditional Year 13 breakfast at the beginning of this year. The calibre of the fine young men who are inducted into our Association every year never ceases to fill us with pride in our old College and pleasure in its future.

At the graduation ceremony last year, Shaun Kenny pointed out that the momentous occasion was not the pinnacle of the boys’ achievements, rather it is just the beginning. The Principal spoke with the experience of a man who has watched many, many students go on to achieve their own personal bigger and better things. Not taking anything away from the importance of this event and the hard yakka that has gone into the graduation certificate, it is true that, with the privilege of being exposed to the good values and life skills of their parents and their school, the young men of CBC leave their College to continue their journey as gentlemen with the best yet to come.Just looking at the What are they up to now? section of Palma in every edition of Touchstone illustrates that

the journey for each CBC graduate is vastly diverse and incredibly fulfilling for him, his family, his friends, and his College. Likewise, the aspirations of the next stage of the journey of some of our newest Old Boys can be seen on page 48 and once again we can take comfort in the fact that many different paths into our community will be journeyed by young men armed with the good values common to CBC gentlemen.

Later this year, we will once again welcome alumni back for our 10 and 20 year reunions that are going to be held in October to avoid the football fever clash (particularly with Fremantle looking so good at the start of this season!). To encourage our younger Old Boys, we are also hosting a five year reunion, and of course we will again be holding the Over 60s Morning Tea on 17 September. The dates for the reunions can be found


on the inside back cover – make sure you mark them in your calendar now.

Finally, if you are social media savvy, to keep up to date with the reunions and other stories and information about Old Boys, make sure you like the Old Boys’ Association Facebook page and locate our Linkedin group.

See you at the reunions, gentlemen.

In honour of the 100th anniversary of the Anzac landing at Gallipoli, 60 ‘Turkey Tourists’ were reunited at the College to reflect on their journeys to the overseas country with the unique position of boasting a landmark of substantial Australian historical and cultural significance.

Since the first CBC Fremantle tour to Turkey in 2008, 99 students have travelled on the pilgrimage to the final resting place of more than 10,000 Anzacs at Gallipoli, often experiencing a profound emotional connection to the site.

The College Staffroom was decorated with Turkish paraphernalia and the past and present students who participated in the 2008, 2011 and 2014 Tours were treated to some Middle Eastern cuisine and traditional belly dancing

to accentuate the nostalgia. With the privilege of having accompanied all three tours, organiser of the evening Mr Craig Carter shared some of the stand-out memories of the trips, and encouraged the dream of a reunion tour amongst those present.

The College tours to Turkey take place every three years, with the next trip scheduled for 2017, and have proven to be very popular amongst students keen to experience first-hand their Australian history lessons from the classroom.
