From The Principal Dear Parents, Friends and Caregivers,
World Teachers’ Day Friday October 25 Blessed Pope John Paul II affirmed the primacy of parents in the education of their children in his encyclical “The Role of the Christian family in the Modern World” (Familiaris Consortio). This week I give thanks to all educators and offer this reflection on World Teachers’ Day. I am a Teacher I was born the first moment that a question leaped from the mouth of a child. I have been many people in many places. I have wept for joy at the weddings of former students, laughed with glee at the birth of their children and stood with head bowed in grief and confusion by graves dug too soon for bodies far too young. Throughout the course of a day I have been called upon to be an actor, friend, nurse and doctor, coach, finder of lost articles, money lender, taxi driver, psychologist, substitute parent, salesman, politician and a keeper of the faith. Despite the maps, charts, formulas, verbs, stories and books, I have really had nothing to teach, for my students really have only themselves to learn, and I know it takes the whole world to tell you who you are. I am a paradox. I speak loudest when I listen the most. My greatest gifts are in what I am willing to appreciatively receive from my students. Material wealth is not one of my goals, but I am a full-time treasure seeker in my quest for new opportunities for my students to use their talents and in my constant search for those talents that sometimes lie buried in self-defeat. I am the most fortunate of all who labour.

The players are: Mitchell Vonthoff, Liam Best, Hayden Clarke, Michael Clifton, Michael Kittel-Neil, Martin Frederick, Michael Frederick, Tyler Cappelluti, Austin Lovell, Louis D’Antonio, Luca Raschella, Dylan Simpson (Year 6), Akok Machar (Year 6).
A doctor is allowed to usher life into the world in one magic moment. I am allowed to see that life is reborn each day with new questions, ideas and friendships. An architect knows that if he builds with care, his structure may stand for centuries. A teacher knows that if he builds with love and truth, what he builds will last forever. I am a warrior, daily doing battle against peer pressure, negativity, fear, conformity, prejudice, ignorance and apathy. But I have great allies: Intelligence, Curiosity, Parental Support, Individuality, Creativity, Faith, Love and Laughter all rush to my banner with indomitable support. And who do I have to thank for this wonderful life I am so fortunate to experience but you the public, you the parents. For you have done me the great honour to entrust to me your greatest contribution to eternity, your children. And so I have a past

that is rich in memories. I have a present that is challenging, adventurous and fun because I am allowed to spend my days with the future. I am a teacher... and I thank God for it every day. (Schlatter)
Senior Campus Classroom Upgrades Work will commence on November 4 for a complete refurbishment of the Year 8 and 9 classrooms in the O’Brien Building (opposite the Sports Field). Classrooms will be fitted with new air conditioning, ceilings, carpet, lighting and pin boards. Students will be relocated to alternative classrooms during the renovation.
Student News Congratulations to:
Counsellor’s Corner Why Don’t My Parents Trust Me. We hear this often. It does not seem fair to young people. Parents may have a whole host of reasons for refusing a request and some reasons are carefully guarded secrets. Their experience of life has taught them many things and their love for their children will not let them be exposed to danger. Building trust with parents is necessary. Talk to parents about your feelings and give them a chance to share their own experiences and fears. Parents’ reasons will not always make sense to you but remember they are concerned about you and you are precious to them. Earn their trust by keeping your word and being reliable. Keep family rules and do not make promises you cannot keep. If you make a mistake apologise and show you are willing to change. Appreciate parents’ concerns. Only parents who care about their children bother to make rules and set limits. Respect your parents because they have your best interests at heart. Respect them even if you think they are wrong. Respect their decision but do not sulk. Be patient even if you do not like what your parents say. Trust will grow and change will come. Open communication at all times sets the scene for sharing, trust and responsibility. Br Michael Flaherty Counsellor

The best thing has been meeting new people from across the campus. I am so grateful for the constant care and support of others. My hope for the future is to find a rewarding job. I want to improve as a human being, my social skills and confidence. Hamish Richardson - CBC is much more than a school; it is a community dedicated to making the world a better place. Through the faith and social justice I have been shown a world that is in need of compassion and we can fill this void. CBC has given me the tools to be the change I want to be. My hope for the future is that as a generation, we face the challenges with courage and true leadership and I hope to play a part of that.

Week 3
• Reflect on my own learning style
From The Deputy Principal Learning from each other as EREA Schools In 2007 Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) was formed. This was a national governance organisation established by the Christian Brothers to manage over forty Christian Brothers Schools around Australia. Prior to the establishment of the EREA Christian Brothers Schools were administered by four different provinces across Australia. Christian Brothers College Adelaide was administered by the Holy Spirit Province, based in Perth which managed the schools in both Western Australia and South Australia. Each province was basically a separate identity and there was little exchange of ideas and professional practice between the provinces. The four provinces in 2007 were amalgamated to form the Oceania Province which included Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, East Timor and the Philippines. This occurred concurrently with the establishment of the EREA over six years ago and the Edmund Rice Schools (as they are known) now work on a national level with a strong connection between all schools irrespective of their state or territory. The EREA now have schools in every state and territory in Australia. The benefit of this national formation is the ability for schools to share current research and contemporary pedagogy within their school on a national level. Last week I was fortunate to participate in the EREA “Shadowing an EREA Principal” program at St Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace, Brisbane. This program has been opened up to deputies in EREA schools around Australia as part of a leadership development program, to develop our professional growth and leadership capacity in the context of an Edmund Rice School. Shadowing can be related to, but differs from, coaching and from mentoring. Coaching lends the support of another person to the development of specific skills through techniques such as observation, data collection and analysis, demonstration and performance monitoring to achieve desired results (Sweeny 2001). Mentoring is a more inclusive role supporting protégé orientation and professional development (Sweeny 2001). Rather than an extended mentoring relationship of advice-giving, role-modelling and advocacy, shadowing occurs for a short, defined time period during the usual work and in the usual environment of the person being shadowed (Roan 2002). The shadowing of an EREA principal provided an opportunity for me to follow the role of the principal for a week reflecting St Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace, Brisbane

• Better understand the demands of the role of the Principal • Understand different leadership structures in the school. The visit last week was a wonderful opportunity to shadow Mr Peter Chapman, who is the principal of St Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace in Brisbane. The College community was extremely welcoming while I was there and I had the opportunity to attend many meetings, including board, leadership team, old collegians committee, EREA regional meetings in Queensland, whole school assemblies, student meetings, and spend time with all members of the student leadership team and even have lunch at the Queensland Parliament House with a local member of cabinet, who was a Terrace student. St Joseph’s College on Gregory Terrace has many similarities to CBC. Both schools were established by Br Ambrose Treacy (Gregory Terrace in 1875 and CBC in 1878). In fact, the old Brothers House is similar in architectural design to Wakefield Street (refer to below). Br O’Brien who was principal at CBC was also principal at Gregory Terrace. Both schools are also inner city locations, and, like CBC, St Joseph’s was a boarding school before the students moved to Nudgee (still called St Joseph’s, Nudgee), and both schools have about 1,400 students. I am extremely thankful to Mr Noel Mifsud and the EREA for having this opportunity to visit another EREA school. The experience provided an opportunity to reflect on myself – both strengths and weaknesses, how I work with others, what values are important in my leadership and where we can make the greatest contribution and change in the school. The EREA “Shadowing a Principal” program states: “If EREA is to have a prophetic voice of Catholic education and is the life of the Church, our leaders must be people of great faith and positive agents for change and in the context, we must always be mindful that quality leadership in an Edmund Rice school should never be taken for granted”.

Assistant Principal - Junior Campus Dear Parents, Caregivers and Friends, If you ever get the time to attend one of our assemblies in the Junior Campus courtyard, (held every Friday at 11.30am) you will see for yourselves the wonderful sense of community that is very evident. Each week a different year level leads, thus providing valuable practice at public speaking, development of leadership skills, confidence, self-discipline and selfesteem. Last week was no exception! Our Year 6 classes shared their experiences of Canberra (Powerpoint presentation) with the rest of our Junior Campus student community and it was fantastic to see how attentive and in awe our R-5 students were. Our year 5 students are already chomping at the bit to attend! Also sharing their work, were the Year 4 students in Mrs Ozgo’s and Mrs Duddy’s (relieving for Mrs Buchanan) classes. The students were given a design brief to create a playground that was suitable for all children, with special thought to those with a disability. Some
During the school holidays, 5 October was World Teachers’ Day. Teaching is a vocation like no other. I feel so very proud to have been in this profession for over 31 years. There have been many changes over the years, fads that come and go, but the one thing that remains constant is that everything we do or say must be what is best for every child in our care. I feel so very blessed to work amongst some of the finest teachers here at CBC. I say to our staff, “I salute you all. Thank you for working tirelessly for our boys.” I leave you with this reflection: A Prayer for Teachers God of Love… Thank you for every teacher who notices a child’s special gift. Thank you for teachers who are listeners and gentle guides. Thank you for teachers who expect much and love enough to demand more. Thank you for the special teacher each one of us remembers. God of Mercy… Sustain teachers who give everything they have and feel abandoned when society expects too much. Strengthen teachers who assume the blame for so many problems beyond their control. Help exhausted teachers rest. God of Strength… Encourage teachers to care and inspire them to nourish. Motivate teachers to keep on learning for the fun of it and to make learning fun for children.
school writers, or teach physics or maths or civics. We cannot even imagine how to help every single student achieve Adequate Yearly Progress. Bless the people who are expected to accomplish these miracles and who know how to comfort children when miracles don’t happen. God of Justice… help our nation find a way to steward our vast wealth to support teachers in their special calling, wherever they teach and whatever the race or religion or gender or wealth of the children. We pray these things in the name of our great teacher, Jesus Christ.
Finally, on Friday 1 November, the students farewell our Junior Campus Captain Patrick Squire. Patrick has taken his leadership to another level. He has been exemplary in sharing with every student at the Junior Campus the leadership qualities, values and strength of character that have afforded him the admiration, respect and love from every boy and staff member. We pray that Patrick achieves the success he so deserves for his Year 12 examinations and for his future. We thank him for all he has given, all that he is and all that he has taught us in trying to be the best person we can be. God bless him always. Lots of blessings for the week ahead.

Spikes, digs and sets were all the talk down at City Beach Volleyball Centre last Tuesday where CBC were recently offered an opportunity to test their skills while helping out with the filming of a well-known educational television program ‘Totally Wild.’ The boys were lucky enough to mix with some professionals, meeting Olympic Volleyball stars Zina Stone and Bec Palmer. After some helpful advice it was time for some action, where the boys took part in some friendly competition against neighbouring schools Saint Aloysius and St Mary’s. An extremely enjoyable day for all who took part, well done boys. Mr Joel Langley Health and Physical Education Junior Campus

From the Counselling Team Sexting: A Guide for Parents and Teachers The data suggests that 20-30% of teens have sent or received a sexually explicit photo in the last 12 months. This means the average secondary school will contain 150 - 200 students who have recently sent or received a naked or semi naked picture of themselves. Given the prevalence of this issue, we can’t bury our head in the sand. Teenagers everywhere are doing this. There are a couple of big problems with sexting. First, Australian laws as they exist today allow teens to be charged with distributing child pornography if they send or receive a sexually explicit text – even if this photo is of themselves. Being charged with distributing child pornography can lead to being labelled as a sex offender and the consequences of this are very serious. This is clearly a ridiculous situation and the laws must be changed. Nevertheless, it is a very real risk for young people, and the police visit hundreds of teens each week. Another big problem is pictures being sent far and wide without consent. While many of the photos sent and received by teens are originally done so with full consent of the person in the picture, follow up photos are often sent WITHOUT consent.
Photos are often copied, shared and distributed to hundreds or people, shared on social networking sites and eventually accessed by adult viewers and senders of child pornography. How do we help our teens avoid this happening to them? First – have a conversation We need to make sure teens are aware of the dangers of sexting. They need to clearly know that a) they are breaking the law and the consequences of being charged with those offences, and b) that photos sent and received can be forwarded to others without their consent and end up being seen by hundreds of people. The best way to have a conversation is to start by asking questions. Ask the teen the following questions: “Do you know anyone who has sent a naked picture of themselves to someone else via the phone?” “What about someone who has received one?” “Why do you think teens are tempted to do this?” “What do you think can go wrong when teens do this?”.
family rules to send a photo of themselves or any part of themselves naked. Don’t be vague about this, be very specific and clear. Also let them know that if you discover that this has happened, unfortunately you will need to remove their phone for a short period of time to help them avoid the temptation. Third – monitor their texting I don’t believe young teens should be allowed 100% privacy for what they do, say and hear online and with their phones, for their own sake. While we pay for their phone bills, or even if we don’t – while they are under age – as parents, we tell them that we must have some level of knowledge of what they are texting. This doesn’t mean we will check every text. But it does mean that occasional check ups will happen. It means that phones aren’t allowed in bedrooms with closed doors all night. It means that teens can’t put locks on their phones that parents don’t know about. As teens get older (16 and 17 for example) it may be that more privacy can be negotiated. Fourth – keep the relationship healthy Finally, parents need to make sure they keep on pursuing good relationships with their teens. In general this means: • Showing interest in their lives (without being nosy for the sake of it)
“Would you be tempted to do this? If not, why not?”
• Prioritising one on one time with them
“What would you do if you received a text like this?”
• Speaking respectfully and calmly (as do we to adults) even when they make mistakes
Asking questions first, means we engage teens in the conversation. Then, we can tell young people our concerns and worries about this issue. Use news reports, or google situations that have occurred so you have real data and situations to share.
Here’s the kind of story I hear every week:
Second – set down clear rules
Tara, 17 came to see me after breaking up with her boyfriend. Tara said that her boyfriend was really upset and angry with her, because she had cheated on him with another guy at a party. Her (now ex) boyfriend had a whole lot of naked pictures of her on his phone, pictures that Tara had taken and sent to him when they were together. He had sent a message to her telling her that
We need to tell teens that we know they may well be tempted to send a picture of themselves at some point, but that they absolutely must resist this urge. Remind them again of the reasons. Tell them when they turn 18, if they chose to do this in a relationship, then that will be their business. But until then, and while they live in our house/are at our school, it is absolutely against
• Showing admiration and thanking them often (even when we need to look hard for things to do this for) • Forgiving and allowing mistakes When parents do these things for teens, they are more likely to have a good relationship with us, and we can help them through these kinds of tricky issues that our society now faces.

and thinking about where to position ourselves in the field. We sorely missed our regular wicketkeeper, Will Mauriuz, with 15 byes conceded during the innings. Some late wickets were taken by Fred Oliver 1/5 (3), Tyler Capelluti 1/4 (2) and John Kleeman 1/3 (2) to restore some respectability. Mitchell Vonthoff bowling well pitched off cutters and John Zito with his tricky flight took the other two wickets. The main area we need to improve as we head into our two day matches will be to maintain our concentration in the field for up to 50 overs and provide full support to our bowlers by not leaking runs.

The boys (Aidan Smith, Jackson Chau, John Phan, Denzell Arevalo, Bailey Yeadon, Steven Yin and Mark Vong) enjoyed a very convincing win; 25-16, 25-6, 15-7, giving them the confidence needed to take on other schools over the next several weeks.

CRICKET Year 7A Cricket St Michael’s 8/119 defeated CBC 3/89 First match of the summer at our spiritual home: Collins Reserve, Fulham Gardens. As the smell of freshly cut grass combined with the morning sea air, we were sent into bat by St Michael’s. We were put on the back foot early with the loss of two key wickets. Jack Bastian (22*) and Zane Caldwell (20*) then steadied the ship playing watchfully early in their innings before putting on a master class of cover drives and cut shots. Runs were hard to come by in the middle part of our innings due to tight bowling by St Michael’s and a reluctance to take the quick singles on offer. Jamie Cerone (7*) was our highest scorer through the middle overs. John Zito (15*) played a cameo innings at the death with some lusty hitting, including a massive six. With plenty of wickets in hand we required batsmen to sacrifice their time in the middle in the search for quick runs by taking on the bowlers and some brave running between the wickets. Unfortunately we didn’t lift the run rate in the final overs and 89 was always going to be difficult to defend. We made a strong start to the defence with Austin Lovell clean bowling both St Michael’s openers to finish with 2/5 (2). Following this great start the wickets began to dry up and the runs started to flow freely. Our heads started to drop and concentration began to wane. Our fieldsmen struggled to adapt to their left/right batting combinations
The Middle B Team commenced the season with a solid effort in warm conditions, playing against Pembroke at the Glenunga International High School courts. Daniel Aplin and Brandon Shunmugam won their doubles with a sterling 6-4 victory against a team of players who are playing below their actual team rankings, as Pembroke seemed to have a team more of Middle ‘A’ standard than Middle ‘B’. But our 2nd Doubles of Adam Skondras and Bakhos Rahme were gallant in defeat (0-6), with the score not reflecting the quality of the match with their never-give-in competitively aggressive game plan. The same can be said for the 3rd Doubles combination of Stuart O’Neil and Lachlan Jarvis (0-6). The 4th both played solid games against more solid opponents. The singles matches saw Daniel Aplin continue his winning streak with an impressive (6-0) win; Brandon Shunmugam battled in a highly-skilled game to lose (2-6) with lots of high quality rallies and tight game scores. Adam Skondras battled valiantly against a very strong opponent to lose (1-6). Bakhos Rahme, Stuart O’Neil both lost their matches (0-6). Mr Greg Kurtzer Coach
