Mr Domenic Burgio

2025 Principal’s Address to the Graduating Year 12 Class

“At the final Year 12 Assembly I mentioned the Ryder Cup was being played over the next few days and spoke of the way golf professionals play each hole. I’m not sure if you remember, but the essence of what I said was that most golfers play a hole from the tee to the green, but great golfers play from the green to the tee. Each shot is calculated; each club selection matched to a carefully planned out process so that luck plays little or no part in the routine. The success is strategic and orchestrated. Tonight is the final putt on the hole for you and once again I want to congratulate you and your parents and your families and the staff of this College for what we have collectively worked towards for the past six years and before that.

To continue the golf analogies, in an interview in Golf Digest magazine in 2002, Gary Player told this story.

I was practicing in a bunker down in Texas and this good old boy with a big hat stopped to watch. The first shot he saw me hit went in the hole. He said, “You got 50 bucks if you knock the next one in.” I holed the next one. Then he says, “You got $100 if you hole the next one.” In it went for three in a row. As he peeled off the bills he said, “Boy, I’ve never seen anyone so lucky in my life.” And I shot back, “Well, the harder I practice, the luckier I get.”

The fact that all the young men who are here tonight, those who completed Year 12 and their mates who finish with them even though they have left school for employment, have developed into the best versions of themselves is not luck. As I said at that Assembly, it’s no coincidence CBC boys have the exemplary reputation they do. It’s no coincidence every new family tells me that the reason they are enrolling their son at our school is the experience they have of graduates of this school. Parents, if anyone tells you that you got lucky with your son turning out the way he did, smile and know that luck had nothing to do with it. You own the lion’s share of who your sons have become.

The fact is that every parent at CBC comes through one door. The are seeking a partner, who shares their values and shares them 24/7 and once those two elements are in place, to work together to form the best versions of their sons. All the other metrics of success that exist in this world and that schools can provide are, in the eyes of our CBC parents, diminished if you are not a good man. Being a good man, being a gentleman, is the pre-eminent goal for us all in this community.

I often have a feeling that many speeches made on occasions like this are absolutist in nature. In their excitement, people can get ahead of themselves with hyperbole. The celebration of the occasion can sometimes lead to sugar-coating. Many flawed individuals suddenly achieve sainthood at their eulogy, I have listened to too many wedding speeches where the couple speak of their undying love, their finding a soulmate, their forever commitment and perfect future life together. And I’ve been to many graduation ceremonies where the speeches are about how everyone will be successful and change the world for the better. There are few certainties in life and the more you believe in them, the greater disappointment you risk.

For me, tonight is not about certainties. Tonight is about thanks. Tonight is about reflection. And above all, tonight is about hope. It’s about your parents, family and school having great hope that you are wellprepared for the next phase of your life and, as a result, we can hope for that life being a successful one.

Being Principal can sometimes be a pretty lonely affair, and feedback is an important ingredient to ensuring I reflect on how I’m doing my job. The most difficult feedback to receive is when a CBC boy has made a mistake in public. In my time at the College, rarely, if ever has the mistake been greater than not standing for an adult on a bus, or parking somewhere where someone would rather you didn’t. But it riles some folk. Whether the reported behaviour is accurate or on occasion based on a lie or mistaken uniform, almost every time, the communication almost always ends with having a crack at our tag line “Today’s boy’s…tomorrow’s gentlemen”. They rail against the school and proclaim, “some gentlemen you’re producing!”

I always respond by apologising, promising to get to the bottom of the matter and committing that if one of our boys has indeed offended, we will seek to give him that feedback so that he can get better. I also remind the complainants that there isn’t a school I know that teaches or accepts aberrant behaviour, and I guarantee there isn’t a CBC family that doesn’t commit to raising their son with a good set of values.

I then return to our tagline “Today’s boy’s… tomorrow’s gentlemen” and remind them that it is not a guarantee. It is an aspiration. A high aspiration. An aspiration that most parents would want for their son. If our tagline was “Today’s boys…tomorrow’s minimalist”, there wouldn’t be much challenge for any of us and the bar would be a lot easier to get over. Better we have a high aspiration even if a few achieve it, than a low one that everyone gets over.

Tonight, gentlemen is not a destination. It is a signpost. It may be akin to base camp. The steep assents, the deep ravines, the snowstorms and the dangers are all ahead. But so is the exhilaration of the climb, the thrill of future achievements and the view at each new signpost. What I am certain of is that your families and your school have prepared you well for these challenges. That aspiration “tomorrow’s gentleman” has guided your formation during your youth to adult transition. It has been on the screens in class, it has been spoken about at assemblies, it has guided how we do academics, sport, art, faith, and every other element of school life. It has been liminal and subliminal, explicit, and persistent. And it has worked. The CBC Gentleman who has a strong moral compass, who always gives of his best, who owns his behaviour, who is selfless and who values even those who may challenge him is you. You have become CBC Gentlemen, and

now you are well-placed to enter this exciting new phase of your lives. Don’t waste the journey to this point. Anyone graduating from this school who hasn’t formed into a CBC Gentleman can never say they haven’t been informed on how to be one.

I hope you always look back fondly on your years here. The place where you became an adult. The place where your families and school were lockstep in their hopes for you and the place where you developed some life-long friendships. On behalf of us all, I congratulate you, wish you all of life’s joys and remind you that the greatest way you can repay all of us, especially your parents and especially in your early years of adulthood where temptation may cloud judgement is to commit to always putting them at the centre of your decision making. Good luck to you all, but as Gary Player says, luck won’t have much to do with it.

God Bless you all.

From EREA Colleges

Mr Chris

Woolley,

Chief Executive Officer

“Just as we mourned the passing of notable leaders, I am minded that some members of our communities have been impacted by deep personal loss, and in these instances, I trust that the unique fabric that defines an EREA community has embraced and supported them.”

Dear CBC Fremantle Community,

As we reflect on the 2025 school year, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for the remarkable growth, energy, and shared purpose that continue to define our EREA Colleges community.

Across the country, we have seen ongoing growth in enrolments and a deepening of our mission in action.

Our Colleges and Centres continue to flourish as inclusive communities grounded in Gospel values, where young people are empowered to learn, lead and serve. The strengthening of our mission is mirrored in the increasing demand from families who see in EREA an education that is valuesdriven, future-focussed, and deeply relational. As we approach this welcome period of growth and expansion, we do so with the voices of young people resonating and calling us to engage in responsible and sustainable stewardship.

This year we welcomed many new students and families into our Colleges and Early Learning Centres for the very first time. To these young people beginning their journey within EREA, we offer a heartfelt welcome. May your time in our community be filled with belonging, purpose, and discovery.

We also bid farewell to the Class of 2025 –our graduating senior students – who now step forward into the world with courage, compassion, and hope. You carry with you the legacy of your schools and the values of our shared mission. We trust you will make a meaningful difference in your communities, across our nation, and beyond.

We are mindful, too, of this moment in the life and history of the Catholic Church. The passing of Pope Francis, together with a number of significant Christian Brothers this year, has been a time of deep sorrow and profound reflection. Their leadership, defined by humility, justice, and a deep concern for the marginalised, has left an indelible mark on the Catholic community and EREA schools in Australia. Just as we mourned the passing of notable leaders, I am minded that some members of our communities have been impacted by deep personal loss, and in these instances, I trust that the unique fabric that defines an EREA community has embraced and supported them.

With the appointment of Pope Leo, we look with hope to a future grounded in continuity and renewal. His early messages have called for unity, courage, and an everdeeper commitment to serving humanity and the Earth – messages that deeply resonate with our mission in EREA.

This year has also seen the appointment of new leaders across several of our Colleges, bringing renewed strength and energy to our collective work. Whilst celebrating the increasing diversity within our collective communities and their leaders, the collegiality among our communities is inspiring, ensuring that stewardship, resources, and ideas are shared in a spirit of generosity and solidarity.

Our Principals, Deputy Principals, Directors and Business Managers continue to impact policy and outcomes at the local, state, and national level. Their influence champions the change that extends beyond any borders that might define our communities, whilst actively modelling the power of an Edmund Rice formation to the observant eye of those hearts and minds they are entrusted to educate. Bringing these professionals

together throughout the year has been a signature part of 2025, one that has allowed us to continue to share, grow and collaborate in the interests of providing outstanding educational opportunities for our students.

Earlier this year at a national gathering of EREA Principals, we heard from Fr Greg Boyle SJ, who reminded us that “all young people want to be seen, safe and cherished. They want schools which are places of inclusion, non-violence, kindness and compassionate acceptance.” This message echoes the vision of the EREA Charter, which was renewed in 2025. Inspired by the Spirit in proactively responding to current realities and hopefilled futures, we are called to faithfulness and transformation as Catholic Schools in the Edmund Rice tradition. Through a Liberating Education, based on a Gospel Spirituality, within an Inclusive Community, committed to Justice and Solidarity, we co-create a better world for all.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to all who contribute to the fabric of our work – our school and centre leaders, Advisory Council members, staff, students, volunteers, and families. I also acknowledge the outstanding leadership of the EREA Colleges Ltd Board, Executive and office team and the many people who work behind the scenes to sustain and nurture our community.

Ultimately, the signature outcome of our mission is the development of high-quality citizens – young people who are thoughtful, ethical, kind, and courageous. It is this formation that lies at the heart of all we do, and it is our privilege to partner with families in shaping future generations.

Thank you for your shared commitment and contribution to our shared journey in 2025. Together, we continue to build a community of hope, inclusion, and impact. I wish you all and your loved ones a wonderful end to the 2025 school year and trust that you will be able to enjoy all that the festival of Christmas affords us – faith, love and hope – as we all recharge and refocus for an exciting 2026.

Live Jesus in our Hearts. Forever.

College Advisory Council

Mr Shane Simons, Council Chair

The rapid pace of our modern world consumes our energy and time. We may find ourselves caught up in the default ‘I’m sobusy’ mindset. As a busy business owner, husband and proud father of two boys, I find myself juggling competing priorities, and when asked by a client, colleague, friend ,or family member – ‘Howareyou?’ my default response can be ‘busy’

Yet, the days merge into weeks, and the weeks blend into months, and it’s all too easy to lose sight of what really matters. Our boys grow up so fast, and as parents we have an extremely limited window to have a positive influence to create good men.

A situation arose in our household recently, and the topic of our family dinner discussion was checking in on friends and the concept of emotional bank accounts I had recently observed a situation of selfish behaviour, and I wanted to call it out for what it was. I used the analogy that all relationships in life have emotional bank accounts. When we do something for somebody, we make them smile, check in, make their day easier, pick up dirty clothes off the floor, recognise a good deed, or thank someone; it is a deposit in the emotional bank account. If we need help, support, leave our dirty clothes on the

floor, call in a favour, or make a mistake, it is a withdrawal. I closed off the conversation by suggesting that they consider making a couple more deposits in their mum’s emotional bank account, and they could start by giving her a hug.

This idea of small, consistent deposits leading to stronger relationships also resonates beyond family life and relationships. In many ways, it reflects the collective effort and care that went into our College community this year.

The College Advisory Council was privileged to have bi-monthly site inspections of the College building improvement projects that occurred in 2025. Capital improvement projects completed this year include the full renovation and reconfiguration of the Marshall Wing (external and internal works), the Waterford Theatre (internal works), and the Centenary Building (external and internal works). The Centenary Building is now called the John Hughes Centre in honour of Mr Hughes, a past pupil and active member of the College Alumni.

The active building renovation program has delivered aesthetically pleasing, modern classrooms and learning spaces with minimal disruption to the College’s core business activities.

On behalf of the College Advisory Council, I would like to thank all staff at the College for all their hard work and continued efforts in creating an environment that fosters Gospel values and a positive and supportive learning environment to allow our boys to become tomorrow’s gentlemen.

Once again, the College Advisory Council thanks Mr Domenic Burgio, Mr Mark Bianchini, Mr Brent Butcher and Mrs Kymberly Florenca for their support, dedication, and input to the Council throughout the year.

The College Advisory Council continues to be blessed with a wonderful team in Simon Byrne, Mitchell Buswell, Bernard Cronin, Regina Ledo, Silvia Piviali, and Tony Tomba. It is an honour to observe a group that meets bi-monthly and give of their time and expertise selflessly when called upon and who share a true love of the College.

In closing, I urge you to take a moment to reflect on your why and make that ‘How are you?’ call to reconnect and check in on that friend, family member, or colleague.

“Time and tide wait for no man.” (St Marher 1225)

From the Director of Finance and Operations

Mr Mark Bianchini

Over the past three years, CBC Fremantle has embarked on a transformative journey – one rooted in faith, guided by vision, and committed to excellence. Like the wise builder in Matthew 7:24 who built his house upon the rock, the College has laid foundations not only of brick and mortar but also of purpose, community, and Christian values. Every enhancement to our campus reflects a deeper calling: to nurture young men in heart, mind, and spirit, preparing them to lead lives of integrity, service, and wisdom.

From revitalised classrooms and creative hubs to restored heritage buildings and digital innovation, CBC continues to evolve as a place where tradition meets transformation and where every student is invited to grow in knowledge and grace.

In the spirit of faithful stewardship, the College has invested in the renewal of its learning environments to ensure students are equipped for the future while grounded in the present. Refurbished classrooms now feature modern furniture, advanced audio-visual systems, and breakout areas designed for personalised learning –spaces where students can be known, supported, and challenged.

Recent renovations to the Marshall Wing have created a vibrant and welcoming environment. With skylights that invite natural light, enclosed walkways overlooking Fremantle Park, and modernised classrooms which shed ‘light’ on learning and enhance collaborative spaces. The addition of a new Religious Education Office further affirms our commitment to spiritual formation.

In 2025, the College completed the transformation of the Waterford Theatre –a dynamic space for performance, learning, and celebration. With retractable seating, acoustic panelling, LED lighting and screen, and a state-of-the-art sound system, this venue now serves as a gathering place for the Arts and beyond. It is a space where stories are told, talents are nurtured, and voices are heard.

Behind the scenes, CBC has invested in digital systems that support seamless communication, security, and innovation. The completion of a new school management platform, enhanced cybersecurity, and AI-integrated learning and risk management tools ensure that our community is wellserved and protected. These tools, while technical, are ultimately in service of our mission: to educate young men who are wise, discerning, and prepared to navigate a complex and ever-changing world.

During 2026 we will commence master planning and strategic thinking about the next phase of building, infrastructure and facilities. Without going into specifics, the opportunities and ideas that already are surfacing are exciting and will solidify CBC as a leading school for young men.

Behind every successful transformation at CBC Fremantle stands a team of extraordinary professionals whose dedication often goes unseen but is deeply felt. Our Operations, IT, Finance, Canteen, Development, and Student Services teams have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure the College runs smoothly, safely, and with heart. From implementing cutting-edge systems and managing complex logistics to providing nourishing meals and compassionate care, their contributions are foundational to the vibrant learning environment we enjoy today. Their excellence, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to our students and staff set a benchmark we believe is among the very best in the country. We extend our deepest gratitude to these teams – your work is not only appreciated but also celebrated.

“In the spirit of faithful stewardship, the College has invested in the renewal of its learning environments to ensure students are equipped for the future while grounded in the present.”

From the Vice Principal

Mr Brent Butcher

“I am inspired by the shared commitment that drives us forward. Together, staff, students, and families make CBC Fremantle a place where boys are not only safe and supported but also challenged to become the best version of themselves.”

I am continually reminded that CBC Fremantle is more than just a school, it is a community of care where child safety, staff commitment, and family partnership form the heart of our identity.

This year, we have further strengthened our focus on the safety and wellbeing of every young man in our care. Child safety is not simply a requirement; it is the guiding principle behind the way we lead, make decisions and care for our students. Our practices, policies, and daily decisions are shaped by the question, “How do we ensure that each boy knows he is safe, respected, and valued?” From open conversations in classrooms to transparent communication with families, child safety has remained central to all that we do. Even the practical improvements we make, from the refurbishment and reconfiguration of bathrooms to the installation of glass walls in the Marshall Wing and every enhancement to our facilities, are viewed through the lens of child safety and wellbeing.

Our staff continue to be the guardians of this culture. They are not only teachers but also mentors, role models and partners on the CBC journey. Their willingness to engage deeply with initiatives such as the Rites of Passage, their embrace of reflection and professional learning and their tireless efforts in the classroom align with the attributes of a CBC Gentleman. Our staff have worked together and individually to reflect on what makes CBC distinctive, ensuring that our points of difference are not just spoken about but are embodied in their everyday presence.

Community, too, remains at the core of the CBC experience. Families, Old Boys and Alumni enrich our culture with their trust and partnership. Together we have created an environment where values are shared, voices are respected, and achievements are celebrated. It is in this unity of purpose that the boys of CBC are hopefully formed but at the very least informed of the traits and characteristics that will develop them into gentlemen that have a positive influence in all aspects of their and others’ lives.

Our ever evolving and improving facilities, programs and traditions provide structure and opportunity, but they are not what define us. As we often say, “It’s the vibe.” The heartbeat of CBC Fremantle lies in the relationships that nurture growth, the safety that underpins confidence, and the community that reminds each of us we belong to something greater.

As we look back on 2025, I am inspired by the shared commitment that drives us forward. Together, staff, students, and families make CBC Fremantle a place where boys are not only safe and supported but also challenged to become the best version of themselves. That is our ongoing journey, and it is one that I am proud to share with you.

From the Deputy Principal Pastoral Care

Miss Emer Hickey

“The journey of Pastoral Care is not about reaching a single destination but about who our boys become along the way. By walking together

in

relationship and partnership, we help our young boys become CBC Gentlemen.”

At CBC, Pastoral Care is not simply a program or a series of interventions – it is a journey we walk together. It is lived out in relationships and partnerships every day as pastoral lighthouses at the College share in both the great joys and significant challenges of our families. These relationships are expressed through genuine connection – the conversations shared in passing, the trust built over time, and the encouragement offered when a boy needs it most. These moments shape not just the school experience but the person each boy is becoming.

The relationship between staff, students, and families provides the foundation for a community where boys feel safe, respected, and supported to become the men they are called to be.

At its core, Pastoral Care is relational, as staff walk alongside students, celebrating their achievements and guiding them through challenges. In doing so, we remind them, and their families, that they are never alone on their journey. We form a community where boys feel safe to take risks, learn from mistakes, and grow in character as well as knowledge as they strive to be their best.

Equally, Pastoral Care is a partnership. The importance of working together cannot be understated, as parents, caregivers, and staff form a strong network of adults who share responsibility, ensuring each young person’s wellbeing is nurtured in a holistic and consistent way. When these relationships are strong, boys see that care is not limited to one relationship or setting but is part of a bigger picture that surrounds them with belonging and support.

The journey of Pastoral Care is not about reaching a single destination but about who our boys become along the way. By walking together in relationship and partnership, we help our young boys become CBC Gentlemen.

This year saw a strong focus on student wellbeing and community connection through a variety of engaging initiatives. House Week brought vibrant energy to campus, encouraging teamwork and school spirit through friendly competition. Mental Health Week provided valuable opportunities for reflection and support, with activities designed to promote resilience and self-care. Students also benefitted from a series of guest speakers as part of the Wellbeing Program, offering insights into mental health, personal growth, and leadership. The RAC bstreetsmart incursion was a powerful experience for the entire Year 11 cohort, highlighting the importance of road safety and responsible decision-making. Rounding out the year, the Wedd Cup events showcased student talent and determination, with O’Connor taking out the win this year.

From the Deputy Principal – Teaching & Learning

Mr Jean-Paul Papineau

“The College tagline Today’s boys…tomorrow’s gentlemen is an aspirational one. Each boy is challenged to set the bar high and, over the course of their journey, give of their best to reach it.”

From a Teaching and Learning perspective, the boys’ curricular journey aligns closely with this concept of aspirational growth. As they move from Year 7 through to Year 12, they are allowed the opportunity for increased agency and responsibility. Given the opportunity to have a say in the construction of their own learning programs and to set their own individual goals.

Recognising that the correct height for ‘the bar’ may be different for each student requires a philosophy of flexibility, with each learning experience constructed with the individual needs and personal goals of the student in mind. In my role as Deputy Principal Teaching and Learning, I am in the privileged position of seeing examples of this every single day. While by no means an exhaustive list, some particular highlights from 2025 include:

• The introduction of Certificate II Electrotechnology on Campus, allowing CBC students access to one of the most sought-after and highly competitive VET qualifications.

• New Middle School electives allowing boys to delve further into the Horrible History of Vikings, the Global Impact of Sports and Games, and Philosophy and Investment and Enterprise.

• The introduction of the Curtin UniReady program on campus, offering students a viable alternate option for direct university entry in addition to already established links with Notre Dame University.

• The creation of independent learning time for Year 10 students, allowing them to delve deeper into subjects as individual as Welsh language studies, music composition and high-end chemistry.

• The introduction of a curricular soccer extension program to complement the already established specialist programs in AFL, Sport Science, Fitness Education and Outdoor Education, and finally;

• An increasing number of students on flexible timetables to accommodate work experience and VET qualifications.

Thanks as always to the teachers, who are called upon to be a knowledgeable, caring and stable presence in the academic lives of the boys. Without the hard work of our teaching staff, this flexibility and commitment to individual programs would not be impossible.

A snapshot of the many teaching and learning moments shared throughout the year.

From the Director of Mission and Identity

Ms Georgina Bowler

“I have been particularly moved by our students’ reverence and willingness to engage with faith in meaningful ways. Each gathering has strengthened our sense of belonging and reminded us that we are part of something greater than ourselves.”

As the school year draws to a close, I feel deeply grateful for the many ways our community has lived out the spirit of Blessed Edmund Rice. Each day, I am inspired by the faith, generosity, and kindness shown by our students and staff – qualities that bring our mission to life in tangible ways.

The liturgical life of our College has continued to flourish, with House Masses, prayer services, and major celebrations marking the key moments of our spiritual journey. Lent and Holy Week were times of reflection and renewal, while our Feast Day festivities were joyful reminders of the living legacy of Edmund Rice. Gathering in prayer reminds us that God’s presence is found in community – in friendship, service, and joy. I have been particularly moved by our students’ reverence and willingness to engage with faith in meaningful ways. Each gathering has strengthened our sense of belonging and reminded us that we are part of something greater than ourselves.

Retreats have offered students sacred space to step away from their busy routines and reflect on who they are and who God calls them to be. These moments of stillness have been transformative, allowing students to encounter the presence of Christ within themselves and in others as they consider how they can bring hope and kindness to the world. Many have shared how these experiences helped them see life and faith through new eyes as they grow in their understanding of themselves and God.

Our commitment to service has been an important part of our work, with the College community supporting social outreach initiatives such as Caritas and Lifelink. Many students also responded generously to calls for assistance and volunteered their time to fundraise for important organisations such as Breast Cancer Care WA and provided support at drinks stations for those participating in the 2025 City to Surf event. Local primary schools have also welcomed our help with sports carnivals and discos, building connections through relationships. These and many other experiences have been invaluable to teaching our students that leadership starts with service.

Thank you to our dedicated staff who model faith and integrity each day, and to our students who bring enthusiasm and heart to everything they do. Together, we continue to build a community that reflects the Gospel message of love, respect, and justice. May we continue to walk in the footsteps of Jesus and Edmund Rice with courage and compassion.

We are more than a network. Our Alumni are a living testament to the values instilled in us by the Christian Brothers:

• Faith in Action: We honour our spiritual heritage by supporting initiatives that reflect compassion, justice, and humility, and assisting our young boys in becoming the men of tomorrow.

• Lifelong Brotherhood: We foster enduring relationships among alumni, across generations and geographies.

• Service beyond Self: We commit to uplifting others, especially through education, mentorship, and outreach.

• Legacy: We preserve and promote the rich heritage of the Christian Brothers tradition.

We are not just an Alumni for Old Boys of CBC – we are a living, breathing testament to the transformative power of Christian education.

Over the past year, we’ve continued to grow in both reach and impact:

• Events & Reunions: We have hosted a number of gatherings, reconnecting old friends, classmates and teachers we have not seen in a while, and welcoming new faces.

• Mentorship Programs: Alumni volunteered to guide current students and recent graduates in career and life decisions.

• Community Outreach: We partnered with local organisations to support causes aligned with our mission.

• Scholarship Fund: We expanded our support for students in need through the Jim McGowan Bursary, ensuring the legacy of Christian Brothers education continues.

As I reflect on the future of our Alumni, I ask each and every one of you to consider leaving a bequest to the College. Think of it as a gesture of gratitude and hope. This legacy gift would help sustain our mission for generations to come, funding scholarships, events, and outreach long after my tenure. This should not just be a financial decision but a spiritual one. It is a way to ensure that the values we hold dear continue to shape lives long after we are gone.

I invite you to reflect on how you can contribute – whether through time, resources, or legacy planning. Together, we can build a foundation that honours our past and empowers our future.

To each of you – thank you. Your presence, your prayers, and your participation make this community what it is. Let us continue to walk together in faith, in friendship, and in purpose.

Music Parent Group

Mr Warren Iannello, President

Our Music cohorts and bands have once again demonstrated their artistic passion in 2025.

Led by Director of Music Mr Shane Mancuso and his teaching staff with diligence and strength, our Music students have showcased their many talents at family masses, lunchtime concerts, events, and public performances in the Fremantle region.

In addition, our Music students have inspired and entertained with College

performances at schools, shopping centres, and cathedrals on a wonderful overseas excursion to Singapore in September.

Much time and discipline go into making these occasions possible for our school and students. Perhaps “Maximus Decimus Meridius” (as played by Russell Crowe in the Gladiator film) sums it up best! … With a different but no less important outcome, Maximus shouts, “Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?” Indeed, this is why our boys come to learn at CBC.

We are extremely proud of all their efforts, particularly this year’s performances in Singapore, and we would like to express our deep gratitude and thanks to all the parents and staff for their generous support throughout the year.

Special thanks also to Mr Shane Mancuso, Ms Emma Tandy, Mr Alex Borthwick, Guitar Ensemble Director and Mr Manoli Vouyoucalos, Rock Band and to all of the Music Tutors for their hard work and high standards, which have produced such excellent results.

Parent Auxiliary

Mr Paul Burke, Chair

After three years of learning the ropes, 2025 for me was the year I stepped up to the role of Chair of the Parents Auxiliary. However, any doubts I may have had with my ability to step into the hot seat, as always, were allayed by the continued assistance and guidance of Ms Jenna Palladino and Ms Jennifer Clarke, the College Events Coordinators. Their attention to detail and experience in managing the College events made my role enjoyable and rewarding.

In February, the customary Year 7 Parents Morning Tea is the first introduction to CBC for many parents. This was quickly followed in the next few weeks by the Year 7 Parents Wine and Cheese Evening and the Year 7 Rite Journey Walk, for the boys and their dads. I particularly want to thank the group of dads who assisted me on that day with the customary sausage sizzle, which followed the walk.

Once again, our Mother’s Day and Father’s Day events were greatly appreciated, with many mums commenting on the great speeches prior to their morning tea. The dads too were grateful for their food and coffee on a chilly and damp September morning.

For me, the highlight of the year is the annual College Art Exhibition in October. I’m always amazed at the truly awesome artwork on display and in awe at the boys’ imagination that inspires them to produce such quality. Their parents should all be very proud.

Whilst being part of the Parents Auxiliary allows us to be involved in fantastic events across all year groups and, in turn, speak to many parents, I truly hope that it contributes to making their journey with the College a memorable one.

All of the above doesn’t happen without a great team. My thanks go to Deborah Belbin, Sean Cowman, Lani Fairhead, Emily HirshmanSmith and Carley Phillips for always being willing to assist where required. As well as acknowledging the aforementioned Jenna and Jennifer, I also want to thank college staff Mr Brent Butcher and Mrs Cathy Broad, all of whom have provided both me and the Auxiliary with assistance and guidance.

Lastly, I would like to acknowledge Karen Simons, who stepped down after many years on the Parents Auxiliary earlier in the year. Thanks, Karen, for all the support you gave me and the team over that time.

The Journey

Mr Adryan Winnan, Head of Student Leadership and The Rite Journey

The Journey at CBC is ingrained into the fabric of the College. We are passionate about our boys’ journey from a child through adolescence and leaving as a gentleman. Gone are the days that we solely attribute this journey to Year 9 and The Rite Journey program, but recognise the journey starts from the very first interview, with every personal interaction shaping who our young men become.

Throughout 2025, students across all year levels have engaged in programs that have helped our young men understand themselves and their place in the world, and how to value others. Some of these programs are:

Year 7

SharetheJourney is a unique event that serves as a powerful symbol of fathers or father-figures and sons uniting together in the transformative process from boyhood to manhood.

Early in Term 1, the Year 7 boys and their significant males embarked on a round journey along the Swan River from Point Walter to Bicton Baths. Along the way, fathers shared their life experiences, discussed their hopes and dreams, and reaffirmed their love for their sons.

Year 8

Rock and Water is a program which embodies the attributes of a CBC Gentleman and aims to develop the social skills to build strong and mutually beneficial relationships and equips our students with versatile life skills and strategies adaptable to any situation.

Students learnt to understand that some circumstances require a Rock approach, emphasising assertiveness and inner strength, and other situations may demand a Water approach – a more flexible way of handling issues, promoting calmness and resolution for all parties involved.

“I really enjoyed participating in Rock and Water because it taught me to understand my emotions and how to positively respond to these. For example, I got to understand how and when to be Rock or Water in social situations and realise that you should always start a situation being Water.”

Leon

Hawkins (Year 8)

Year 9

TheRiteJourney program began in Term 1 with the Calling and Departure Ceremony, a cherished tradition where parents symbolically entrust their sons to their Rite Journey Mentors for a year of challenges and growth, marking a significant step in their journey towards adulthood.

Following this, the boys embarked on a year of self-discovery and development. They engaged in activities designed to fortify their resilience, instil perseverance, and gain a deeper understanding of their own strengths and purpose. Further in class sessions, they undertook formal dancing lessons with their peers from Iona Presentation College, which culminated in two memorable events: the Year 9 Social and a Mother and Son Dance. The pinnacle of TRJ activity was ‘The Abyss’, an expedition involving hiking and solo camping, held for the first time at Manjedal Activity Centre, an adventure camp located in a magnificent jarrah forest bushland in Karrakup.

Above: Year 7 Share the Journey

Right Top L-R: Year 8 Rock and Water; Year 9 Calling and Departure Ceremony

Right Bottom L-R: Year 8 Social; Year 9 Mum and Son Dance

To celebrate the young men’s evolving rite of passage, the community came together for ‘The Homecoming’ ceremony at Point Walter. As the Year 9 cohort strode across the beautiful Attadale Foreshore with their Rite Journey Mentors, their pride in the year’s achievements was evident. Later, they took a moment to exchange letters of love with their parents, and the community gathered for a closing Liturgy overlooking the Swan River.

“This year, TRJ has been an incredible learning experience for my self-discovery and development into adulthood. I’ve enjoyed coming together in our small groups to discuss topics that don’t usually come up in our regular classes. It’s also been interesting to dive deeper into my family’s history and share it with the class, while also learning about others and where they come from. I’ve genuinely enjoyed The Right Journey, and I’m sure that it will be great for future Year 9 students to come.”

Jamie Simeone (Year 9)

Year 10

KaiFellaWorkshopsandAspiringLeaders

Following the success of the Kai Fella workshop at the beginning of Year 10, we acted on student feedback and introduced a second workshop later in the year. This program offered a safe and empowering space for our Year 10 students to reflect on how young men perceive friendship, encouraging them to move beyond surface-level camaraderie towards deeper, more emotionally supportive connections. It reframed strength as emotional resilience and the capacity to care for one another, helping young men feel more comfortable sharing and discussing their challenges.

“The Kai Fella incursion was a great continuation of our Rite Journey in Year 9. It focussed on breaking down masculinity

and shaped a different viewpoint on mental health. Going into it I didn’t know what to expect, but our instructor did a great job at easing us into his presentation before confronting the more serious topics. He was interactive and helped shape what we already knew into a different way of thinking. It was a great way to reimagine masculinity and a perfect way to carry on the conversation from The Rite Journey.”

Liam van der Zanden (Year 10)

Leadership

At CBC, leadership is not a selfish pursuit; it is not for status or privilege. Leadership in our context is focussed on serving our community, making positive changes for the betterment of us all, striving for justice and compassion, and being a force for good. Leadership at CBC aims to develop leaders who, through a collaborative approach, inspire and elevate others to be their best.

45 Year 10 Aspiring Leaders took part in a number of opportunities throughout the year. Formal training included the introduction of a Student Leadership Day held offsite at Swan Yacht Club and leading the College’s Morning Tea Tours for prospective parents. Some of our Aspiring Leaders also volunteered to run a Junior School Leadership Session with Year 6 students from St Patrick’s Fremantle, Our Lady of Fatima and Our Lady of Mt Carmel Primary Schools.

“At the start of the year I put my hand up for the Leadership program, and it’s one of the best experiences. It has helped build confidence in myself and brought me closer with others through teamwork experiences. It has also helped me overcome fears like public speaking and speaking out. We have met with many leaders and shown that leadership is not only about leading from the front.”

Ben Elliott (Year 10)

Year 11

DevelopingLeaders

30 Year 11 Developing Leaders had a very busy year, with a number of workshops designed to improve their leadership skills. Using staff from within the College community, sessions included:

Body language and difficult conversations with Dr Delury; Building a team with Mr Buhagiar; Selling a vision with Mr Bianchini; Power of community with Mrs Broad; What is leadership with Mr Burgio and the Psychology of successful leadership with Mr Guadagnino.

The Developing Leaders also benefitted from collaborative workshops with counterparts from Iona Presentation College. The Leadership Camp to Dwellingup was a first-hand lesson in the importance of flexibility when leading, as they had to manage with limited water and no power!

Year 12 Prefects

Our Year 12 Leadership Prefects led the College with aspiration, dignity, and purpose.

Further to nurturing our younger leaders our College Prefects lead from the front including organising events such as Do It For Dolly Day, the Push-Up Challenge and The World’s Greatest Shave.

“This year being a prefect has been so very rewarding. Being able to put ideas to the College Captain, Head of Leadership and even the Business Manager has allowed for the other prefects and me to implement things into the school that we never thought possible. A fellow prefect and I pitched the idea of the coffee van, and now it’s one of the most popular additions to the school.”

“I love going to Mentor. It is my favourite part of the day.”

Blake Johnson (Year 12)

Kelly House has enjoyed another exceptional year in 2025, with our students displaying determination, resilience, and dedication as they pursued their personal goals – whether in academics, service, the arts, or on the sporting field.

Meeting with our Year 12 Class of 2025 graduands recently filled me with gratitude and pride. These fine young men embody the very best of CBC values: kindness, empathy, diligence, and an eagerness

to embrace life’s next chapter. They truly are the epitome of CBC Gentlemen, and I congratulate each of them while wishing them every success for the years ahead. Likewise, the Kelly House Year 7 cohort of 2025 has proven themselves to be a positive, cohesive group. They have grown tremendously this year, and I am excited to see how they continue to flourish in the years ahead.

The inaugural Kelly House Competition was proudly won by K2 this year. The boys participated with great enthusiasm, enjoying a variety of activities ranging from chess to the basketball free throw challenge. More importantly, the competition showcased the spirit of teamwork, camaraderie, and healthy rivalry that makes Kelly House so special. It was wonderful to see students of all year groups supporting one another and engaging so positively. This tradition is certain to grow in the years ahead.

Kelly House is privileged to be supported by dedicated and generous Mentor teachers. This year we have been fortunate to work with Ms Mikayla Connolly in K1, Mr Griffin Becsi in K2, Miss Olivia Burgio in K3, Miss Lucia Queiros in K4, Mr Henry Taylor in K5, and Mr Patrick Ryan in K6. Together, we have continued to build a strong mentor culture, engaging in proactive wellbeing sessions that foster social and emotional learning and support positive mental health.

Our Kelly House spirit remains vibrant; we are inspired by the legacy of Brother Patrick Kelly daily. Every Kelly House student should feel proud of the many ways they have contributed to the life of our College in 2025.

Thank you to every Kelly House student for your spirit, commitment, and kindness. You make CBC Fremantle the extraordinary place it is.

Mr Dean Robinett, Head of Morgan House

“This year our House attribute, ‘Integrity’, has been at the core of everything we’ve done. Integrity means more than just being honest, it’s about doing what’s right, even when no one’s watching, and sticking to it.”

As Year 12s, we have been very proud to wear ‘red’ at CBC Fremantle and represent Morgan House, especially this year as leaders. Whilst we haven’t taken out any of the major carnivals this year, that hasn’t stopped us from fighting hard in the pursuit of the Wedd Cup Trophy. Across every event, we’ve shown up with pride, resilience, and heart, pushing ourselves not just for the win, but for each other. That’s what it means to be part of Morgan House.

This year our House attribute, ‘Integrity’, has been at the core of everything we’ve done. Integrity means more than just being honest, it’s about doing what’s right, even when no one’s watching, and sticking to it. As Morgan men, we’ve tried to live this out in the classroom, on the field, and in our relationships with each other. Whether it’s stepping up for a mate, staying accountable, or owning our actions, integrity has shaped our identity as a House.

As Liam O’Sullivan (Year 12) described,

“There’s a great culture between the Morgan boys.”

This sense of unity and brotherhood is what defines Morgan.

To my fellow prefect James Renton-Weir and all of our Year 12 boys, thank you for your example. You’ve helped shape a culture where everyone belongs and where effort, heart, and integrity are valued above all.

We also owe our thanks to the incredible mentor teachers, Miss Zoe Baldock, Mr Mark Cornish, Miss Danielle MacDonald, Mr Troy Mollica, Mrs Meagan Musson, Ms Petrina Richmond, Mr Chris Sellings and Mr Matthew Stockton. You start our days with energy, humour, and kindness, and we’re grateful for you.

Finally, Mr Robinett, thank you for your unwavering belief in us. Your leadership has been the standard we strive for, and we know your legacy will carry on through the next wave of Morgan boys.

O’Connor

Mr Michael Ruggiero, Head of O’Connor House

“To our House Leaders, thank you. Your dedication, example, and commitment have brought O’Connor together and given every student the confidence to contribute. You have led with humility and strength, and the House is better for your efforts.”

As the Head of O’Connor House, it has been a privilege this year to support a cohort where Service is not just our motto but a lived reality. From the outset, our boys have embraced opportunities to put others first – through friendship, commitment, and community.

One of the highlights of our year was the collaborative stalls for Edmund Rice Day. The enthusiasm and creativity shown in preparing and running the stalls reflected the generosity of O’Connor students. Year 10 student Owen Deasy commented, “It felt good knowing that something as simple as selling food and games could actually help people in need.” Year 12 student Beau Walker added, “Being part of the Edmund Rice Day activities showed how much we can achieve when we work together as a House.”

Across the year, students also showed initiative in mentoring younger peers, supporting House activities, and contributing positively to the culture of CBC Fremantle. These experiences reminded our young men that leadership comes in many forms – whether through a kind word, a consistent effort, or the courage to stand alongside others.

The consistent message at O’Connor House has once again demonstrated how living with purpose by giving your best,

shapes character. The values embraced this year will stay with our students far beyond their time at school, helping them grow into men of integrity and compassion.

To our House Leaders, thank you. Your dedication, example, and commitment have brought O’Connor together and given every student the confidence to contribute. You have led with humility and strength, and the House is better for your efforts.

A special thanks must also go to our Mentor teachers. Mrs Yasmine Blair, Ms Ali Connell, Ms Rebecca Coupar, Mr Alex George, Ms Lisa Kristoffersson, Mr Warrick Nelson, and Mr Owen Wadsworth – your daily care, guidance, and encouragement form the backbone of O’Connor House. The relationships you build with the boys provide the support and stability that allow them to grow both academically and personally.

Together, we have built not just memories, but a culture of care and connection that will carry us proudly into the future.

Ms Chloe Lynn, Head of Patrick House

“Being part of the CBC community is truly a blessing, and leading Patrick House continues to be a genuine privilege.”

2025 was a year of growth, achievement, and camaraderie, as we witnessed the young men of Patrick House continue to flourish both individually and collectively. It was a year marked by determination, spirit, and a strong sense of unity.

Our students enjoyed remarkable success throughout the year. For the second consecutive time, Patrick House proudly hoisted the winning cups at both the College Swimming and Cross-Country Carnivals in Term 1 and the College Athletics Carnival in Term 2. These victories were not just about medals or trophies – they were about teamwork, commitment, and shared purpose. While not every student may excel in sport, it was their willingness to participate, to show up, and to support

one another that truly made the difference. Every cheer, every effort, and every presence contributed to our success – and for that, I am extremely proud!

This year also brought exciting new opportunities to build House spirit. We introduced ‘Fun Fridays’, a chance each week for Mentor groups to come together for a variety of engaging, physical, and intellectual activities. In Term 1, we took advantage of the sunny weather with games on the oval – Tug-of-War, tunnel ball, leader ball, and even three-legged races. In Term 2, the inaugural intra-house Futsal Tournament was a highlight. Patrick 1 dominated the season, remaining undefeated in the main draw – but it was Patrick 6 who took out the Grand Final in a thrilling penalty shootout. Congratulations to Dr Holohan and his team!

As the weather cooled, our activities moved indoors. We introduced weekly Kahoot quizzes and enjoyed the occasional “Milo Monday” (or whatever day worked best!). We wrapped up the year with a basketball competition in the amphitheatre – yet another opportunity for students to have fun and simply enjoy being part of a community that celebrates participation as much as performance.

All of this wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our amazing Mentor teachers. To Dr Aidan Holohan, Mr Daniel Kennedy, Ms Keely Laing, Ms Jennifer Lawlor, Mr Max Murphy, Mr Harry Nesbit and Ms Angelina Sawyer – thank you for your unwavering support and care.

To the Class of 2025: as you move forward, remember the words of Tommy Lasorda –“Thedifferencebetweentheimpossible andthepossibleliesinaperson’s determination.”

Believe in yourself, give your best, and carry the memories of your time at CBC with pride. Good luck!

Rice House

Mr

Jarrod

Parry, Head of Rice House

“The ‘buy-in’ from so many students, who put their hand up to be involved in every activity possible, was a highlight of our year. This willingness to get involved, no matter the challenge, captures the very essence of what it means to be part of Rice House.”

2025 has been another wonderful year for Rice House, filled with achievement, growth, and plenty of “Endeavour.”

At the beginning of the year, we welcomed our new Year 7 students, who fitted into the Rice community seamlessly. Their energy and enthusiasm quickly became part of the spirit of our House. Our youngest gentlemen should be congratulated on the way they embraced the values of kindness, effort, and inclusion.

At the other end of the journey, we farewelled our Year 12 students, who have been outstanding role models and leaders throughout their time at CBC. We thank them sincerely for their commitment to Rice House and wish them every success in their future endeavours. A special mention goes to our House Prefects – Bailey Austin, Jacob Rowland, and Marco Pizzo. Their leadership, service, and dedication have left a lasting impact on our community.

This year also marked the second edition of the Eddie Rice Cup, which has quickly grown into a highlight of our House calendar. What began as a fun, competitive initiative has now expanded to include futsal competitions, basketball tournaments, Uno battles, ping pong games, Kahoot quizzes, riddles, and a variety of Mentor group

activities. Congratulations to Rice 3, who took out the overall Eddie Rice title for 2025, displaying teamwork and a strong sense of Mentor pride.

Our resilience and House spirit were also on display in the Wedd Cup. After starting the year in last place following Term 4, the boys fought back with passion and participation across all events, clawing our way back into contention. The ‘buy-in’ from so many students, who put their hand up to be involved in every activity possible, was a highlight of our year. This willingness to get involved, no matter the challenge, captures the very essence of what it means to be part of Rice House.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you must go to our incredible Mentor teachers – Mr Craig Adams, Mrs Amelia Andrew, Mrs Clara Booth, Mrs Chantelle Edwards, Mrs Jessica Ruggiero, Mrs Pauline van Lohuizen, and Mr Steve Veliath. Your dedication, encouragement, and care for our Rice boys have been instrumental in their growth this year. Your influence extends well beyond the classroom and will leave a lasting impression on their lives.

Rice House continues to be a community built on endeavour, inclusion, and pride. We look forward to another year of achievement, growth, and fun.

“Rice House is a tightly bonded community driven by passion, endeavour, and unity. For us, it’s not just about winning – it’s about enjoying the journey together!”

Samson

Mr Jack Osborne, Head of Samson House

“My favourite moment this year in Samson House would be the Swimming Carnival because of the culture our House brought to the competition.”

Noah Kenworthy (Year 12)

“I’ve really enjoyed the culture and relationships within our House this year, particularly our Mentor vs Mentor competitions.”

Joel Summerell (Year 10)

“OneofthehighlightsI’vehadinSamsonthis yearwastheMentorvsMentorDodgeball, asitgaveustimetomakemorefriends.”

Bentley Turner (Year 7)

As we look back across the year of Samson House, I am filled with feelings of achievement, kindness and community. Our house motto of ‘Courage’ is a term which we have unpacked throughout our House Masses and House Assemblies. We have looked at it through the lens of what it means to be a courageous friend, to show courage in ourselves and to show courage within our community. There have been many instances this year where our motto has been brought to life, whether it be through students getting out of their

comfort zone in their sporting endeavours, applying themselves in the arts or challenging themselves in their academics. It has been a privilege to be a part of.

Samson House welcomed in a new group of Year 7s this year, which saw a new energy and vibrance enter our community. Their commitment and spirit have made a wonderful impact on our House spirit, and we are excited to see this continue as we move into a new year.

In 2025, we had our inaugural commencement of the Samson House Cup. This saw each Mentor group in our House compete against each other and participate in a range of activities, from dodgeball to quizzes and riddles. This competition gives each Mentor the opportunity to work together and build on their positive relationships with one another. It has been great to see the fun and competitive nature of our Samson students and staff come to fruition and build on our intra-house spirit this year. With the coordination of our leadership students, we will continue to build on this for the future and allow the students to take more ownership of our House spirit.

We have also had to wish our Year 12s farewell as they embark on the next exciting journey in their lives. Thank you to our Year 12 leaders, Christian Bester, Oscar Doye, Tyce Hatton, Noah Kenworthy, and James Renouf-Sanderson, who were a great group of role models for their fellow Samson students. They will leave behind a strong legacy for our students to strive towards, and they have played key roles in demonstrating what it means to be a part of Samson House.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our wonderful and encouraging Mentor teachers, Mrs Gretel Ah-Tive, Mr Evgeny Bespalov, Dr Kim Delury, Mrs Elisa Grose, Mr Daniel Karlsen, and Mrs Hayley Nankivell. Your compassion, support and care are fundamental in our students’ lives, and your guidance assists them in becoming gentlemen. Thank you for your support and for a wonderful year.

I know 2026 will be another great year for Samson, and I can’t wait to share our successes, experiences, and lessons with the students, staff, and families of Samson House. Go Samson!

Retreats

Ms Emma Tandy, Retreats Coordinator

“Being a part of retreats for the younger students has been valuable in making me reflect on my journey and the progress I have made as a person during my time at CBC.”

Taliesin Williams (Year 11)

“It was a great insight into ourselves and a great opportunity to reflect.”

Dylan Matich-Clay (Year 11)

“I liked that we got some time to our own and learnt valuable lessons on finding who we are and what we want to become.”

Thomas Dudley (Year 8)

The CBC Fremantle 2025 Retreats Program was a rich and varied experience for all year levels, from our newest students in Year 7 being immersed in our CBC culture to our Year 12s reflecting on their CBC Journey to then looking beyond. The 2025 Retreats Program continued to encourage the growth of CBC students, inclusive of ‘Head, Heart, and Hands’.

Year 7 Retreat – ‘The Call to Belong’

Focusing on the EREA Touchstone of InclusiveCommunity, Year 7 students explored what it means to be a CBC boy and learned about the EREA Touchstones, which they used as inspiration to decorate tiles, which were later formed into crosses to display in mentor classrooms. They were introduced to the life of Edmund Rice through the ‘Edmund Rice Walk’ at the College and completing a jigsaw puzzle of the Edmund Rice Icon – a very popular activity! The retreat emphasised the significance of belonging to the CBC community, with an introduction to the history and importance of the CBC Chapel.

Year 8 Retreat – ‘My Call, My Journey’

The 2025 Year 11 Developing Leaders were instrumental in leading this retreat, sharing their personal stories with the Year 8 cohort and leading small group activities. With a focus on the EREA Touchstone GospelSpirituality, Year 8 students reflected on the ‘Parable of the Talents’, learning to identify their gifts and use them for the benefit of others. The retreat

encouraged students to overcome fears associated with using their talents and explored our College Motto ‘Palma Virtuti’ – Goodness is its own reward. Activities such as juggling, solving the mystery of Mr Silveira’s missing ‘Biccy Friday’ biscuits, and creating motivational posters were engaging highlights of the retreat.

Year 9 Retreat – ‘Galilee’

Year 9 students explored Gospel Spirituality along the Attadale Foreshore, listening to stories of Jesus at the Sea of Galilee, with staff members reflecting on how these teachings inspire a life of service. As part of the Rite Journey Week, the retreat connected these narratives of service to the students’ own journey of becoming ‘men for others.’

Year 10 Retreat – ‘Faith in Action - Men for Others’

Focusing on the Touchstone of Justice andSolidarity, the Year 10 Service Retreat activities encouraged students to live out their faith through service. Our gentlemen engaged in service activities such as environmental restoration at Cantonment Hill and Samson Park, assisting primary schools, supporting St Patrick’s Community Centre, and making blankets for ‘Fostering Hope.’

Year 11 Retreat – ‘The Climb’

The Year 11 retreat centred on Gospel Spirituality with a focus on the Stations of the Cross. Through staff-shared personal stories, students reflected on overcoming challenges and finding strength in God and each other.

Year 12 Retreat – ‘My Call, My Journey’

As co-leaders of the College for 2025, our Year 12 gentlemen explored how they could live out the CBC values both within the school community and beyond graduation. Together with staff and alumni, they reflected on the five Attributes of a CBC Gentleman – a fitting focus on the Touchstone LiberatingEducation for their final retreat of their years at the College.

Kairos Retreat

An optional four-day retreat for Year 11 students, Kairos – meaning ‘the Lord’s time’ – was a transformative experience, providing a deepening sense of self and faith as well as enriched relationships as these gentlemen prepared to enter their final year at the College.

Assemblies and Events

Community is at the heart of CBC, and nothing brings our community together more than Assemblies and Events.

In 2025, we celebrated together through meaningful occasions such as Do It For Dolly Day, Edmund Rice Day, Father’s Day Breakfast, Mother’s Day Liturgy, NAIDOC Week, Remembrance Day, and World’s Greatest Shave.

Our assemblies also shone a spotlight on the academic, musical, and sporting achievements of our students – moments that truly reflect the spirit of CBC.

Academic Excellence Program

Ms Tavia Pursell, AEP Coordinator

The Academic Excellence Program (AEP) recognises and nurtures students who are not only highly capable but also deeply driven to succeed. These young men bring natural talent across a wide range of subjects – English, Humanities, Mathematics, Religion and Life, and Science – while also demonstrating the commitment and perseverance needed to achieve outstanding results.

AEP students listed below have consistently demonstrated sharp critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. They are curious learners who push beyond the surface, seeking deeper understanding and new perspectives. As role models among their peers, they embody the qualities of future leaders and innovators.

Through the program, they engage in dynamic learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom: from competitions and conferences to excursions and study tours, AEP opportunities are designed to inspire, challenge, and expand horizons.

Alongside AEP, we offer the Gifted and Talented Program (GATE). Students are selected based on assessments of potential and receive a tailored learning plan designed to nurture their strengths. This year, some of our GATE and AEP students took part in a Philosophy elective, diving into big questions like what it means to be human and how our thinking shapes the way we see ourselves, others, and the world around us.

The Arts

Mrs Carmen Stewart, Head of The Arts

“This year also marks a significant moment in the College’s musical journey as we bid farewell to Mr Shane Mancuso, Director of Music, who is stepping down after decades of dedicated service. Shane’s leadership, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to nurturing young musicians have left an indelible mark on generations of students. His legacy will continue to resonate in the halls of CBC and beyond.”

The Arts at CBC Fremantle continue to be a vibrant and essential part of the College’s identity, offering students a rich tapestry of opportunities to express themselves, collaborate, and grow as creative thinkers. Across Music, Drama, Media Arts, and Visual Arts, students have demonstrated remarkable imagination, skill, and passion throughout the year.

In Music, ensembles and soloists have brought energy and emotion to College events, assembly celebrations, and community performances. From choir, jazz and contemporary bands to ensembles, the standard of musicianship has been exceptional. This year also marks a significant moment in the College’s musical journey as we bid farewell to Mr Shane Mancuso, Director of Music, who is stepping down after decades of dedicated service. Shane’s leadership, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to nurturing young musicians have left an indelible mark on generations of students. His legacy will continue to resonate in the halls of CBC and beyond.

Drama students have captivated audiences with their performances, showcasing both original works and classic texts. The Drama Performance Night was a highlight, with students embracing roles on stage and behind the scenes, demonstrating collaboration, maturity, and confidence.

In Media Arts, students explored storytelling through film and digital design. Their work reflected thoughtful engagement with contemporary issues and a strong grasp of visual language, with several pieces featured in the annual College Art Exhibition.

Visual Arts has seen students thrive through workshops, excursions, and exhibitions. Highlights included the artist workshop program, oil painting workshops with Rachelle Dusting, and expressive drawing sessions with Mark Tweedie. Students also attended the Pulse Perspectives exhibition and proudly exhibited their own work in the Men’s Talk Kai Fella initiative, Woodson’s Arcade, “Outside the Frame” and the annual College Art Exhibition.

The Arts at CBC Fremantle continue to empower students to explore their identities, connect with others, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them. As we celebrate the achievements of this year, we also honour Mr Shane Mancuso’s extraordinary contribution and wish him every success in his next chapter.

Dr Kim Delury, Drama Teacher

“The

highlight of 2025 was the annual Drama Night, held for the first time in the newly refurbished Waterford Theatre … Congratulations to all performers and to the staff who assisted behind the scenes to bring the event to life.”

2025 has been an exciting and creative year for Drama at CBC, with students across all year levels exploring a wide range of performance styles and skills. Year 7 students experienced a oneterm introduction to Drama, focussing on the Elements of Drama and Ritual Theatre. They devised their own group performances based on a shared theme, and some students also participated in a special puppet-making workshop, learning techniques for both building and performing with puppets.

Year 8 students completed a semesterlong course, creating engaging scenes in the style of Realism and filming dynamic sequences in the screen genre of Sports Drama. Through improvisation games, they developed teamwork, creativity, and quick thinking.

Years 9 and 10 students thrived in CBC’s weekly lunchtime Drama Clubs, embracing activities that built their improvisation and acting skills. In class, they explored a variety of units, including Comedy and Clowning, Realism, Youth Theatre, Commedia dell ‘Arte, and Theatre of the Absurd. Popular screen units such as Spy Drama and Action Drama gave students hands-on experience with fight and stunt choreography while producing exciting video projects.

Year 11 students expanded their performance skills through challenging texts like The Stones by Zeal Theatre and The Lieutenant of Inishmore by Martin McDonagh. Year 12 students excelled in their final year, studying both Australian and international works, including The OneDayoftheYear by Alan Seymour and A Servant to Two Masters by Goldini. Their

performances were of a very high standard, and we congratulate them on their achievements.

This year, students from Years 9-12 also had the opportunity to attend a live performance of Radium Girls by D.W. Gregory in the Caroline Payne Theatre at Corpus Christi College, enriching their understanding of live theatre.

The highlight of 2025 was the annual Drama Night, held for the first time in the newly refurbished Waterford Theatre. The evening featured a showcase of performances from Years 8-12, celebrating the talent and dedication of CBC’s Drama students. Congratulations to all performers and to the staff who assisted behind the scenes to bring the event to life. A special thanks to our Arts Technician, Ms Michelle Timms, for bringing our performances to life with specialised costumes, props, and set pieces.

It has been a wonderful year of growth, creativity, and performance, and we look forward to building on this success in 2026.

The Arts Media

Mr Harry Nesbit, Media Teacher

Lights, Camera, Action!

The world of media is constantly evolving, and at CBC, we’ve had a truly dynamic and creative year exploring its many facets. From superhero transformations to spooky special effects, our students have been busy bringing their cinematic visions to life. This year has been an incredibly creative journey for all our Media students, filled with hands-on projects and fascinating explorations of different genres and theories.

Our Year 7 students began the year by becoming their own superheroes, using our green screen to place themselves into action-packed scenes. With a little help from Canva, they designed personalised movie posters, each one starring themselves as the main hero. The results were fantastic, and it was a great way for our youngest media enthusiasts to learn about visual storytelling.

Meanwhile, our Year 8 students became film critics, exploring the unique and ‘wonderfully weird’ worlds of director Tim Burton. They learned about Auteur Theory, which posits that a director’s films reflect their personal creative vision, or ‘signature’. Following this, they put their own creative spin on things by producing 30-second commercials based on the theme of “something embarrassing that happens at school”. The results were as hilarious as they were clever.

The Year 10’s had a chilling time exploring the Horror genre. The highlight of their unit was a special workshop at the Perth Youth Film Academy. They learned the secrets of creating realistic special effects (SFX) prop wounds and then got to put their new skills into action, producing their own short horror films. It was an unforgettable day of fake blood and screams!

Our Year 11s were busy tackling important topics. In their Documentary unit, they investigated pressing issues that affect Australian teens today. This project not only honed their research and interview skills but also gave them a platform to share important stories and perspectives.

Finally, our Year 12 students took the lead with their self-driven genre productions. This unit produced a remarkable range of films, showcasing their diverse talents. The year culminated in their highly anticipated mockumentary productions, which truly were the highlight of the year. These films weren’t just funny, they also demonstrated a high level of technical skill, serving as a perfect capstone to their time in Media at CBC.

The Arts Visual Arts

Mrs Carmen

Stewart, Head of The Arts

“Art is a platform which transports me into a place where you are able to see the world through another person’s eyes.”

Xavier Cook (Year 11)

The Visual Arts program at CBC Fremantle continues to flourish, offering students rich opportunities to explore, create, and connect with professional artists and the wider arts community. This year has been particularly dynamic, with a series of workshops, excursions, and exhibitions that have inspired students across all year levels.

A standout event was the Artist in Residence Workshops, where students engaged with a practising artist in an immersive studio experience. This initiative fostered deep creative exploration and gave students firsthand insight into the professional art-making process.

Senior students in Years 11 and 12 participated in an Art Workshop Incursion with renowned local artist Mark Tweedie, focussing on expressive drawing and painting techniques. Mark’s energetic approach encouraged students to embrace spontaneity and personal expression in their work, pushing creative boundaries and refining technical skills.

Year 10 students were introduced to the world of oil painting through a hands-on workshop with Rachelle Dusting, whose expertise and passion for portraiture brought the medium to life. Students explored colour mixing, brushwork, and layering techniques, gaining confidence in a traditionally challenging medium.

Students also attended Pulse Perspectives, an exhibition showcasing exemplary artworks from 2024 graduates across Western Australia. This excursion offered valuable inspiration and insight into the diverse approaches and high standards of senior secondary art practice in the state.

CBC Fremantle students proudly exhibited their work in several public forums, including the Youth Week, Men’s Talk and Kai Fella initiative, which supports mental health awareness through art; the Woodsons Arcade initiative, which promotes youth creativity and stewardship; and “Outside the Frame”, which engages secondary school artists. The Angelico Art Exhibition for Catholic Secondary Schools and our annual College Art Exhibition were other highlights, celebrating the diverse talents of students from all year levels and providing a platform for community engagement.

These experiences reflect CBC Fremantle’s commitment to nurturing artistic talent and fostering a lifelong appreciation for the visual arts. Through meaningful connections with artists, exposure to professional exhibitions, and opportunities to showcase their own work, students are empowered to grow as confident, creative individuals.

CBC Fremantle Annual College Art Exhibition

The CBC Fremantle Annual College Art Exhibition in Term 4 was a vibrant celebration of creativity and talent, showcasing the incredible work produced by students from Years 7 to 12. Emceed by Bailey Riemann and Xavier Cook, the event brought together families, staff, and the wider community to appreciate the artistic achievements of our students. Patrons were also treated to Year 10 student Leon Valli playing the guitar whilst they perused the artworks.

The exhibition highlighted the diversity of ideas and techniques explored across year levels. Year 7 students impressed with their imaginative dinosaur ceramics, cleverly designed as succulent planters. Year 8 contributed a playful series of pet portraits, where animals were reimagined in human outfits through bold, colourful paintings. Year 9 displayed quirky cactus pots, while Year 10 presented an exciting mix of dream cars rendered in oil paints, alongside intricate pencil studies and dynamic cubist sport illustrations.

Senior students demonstrated remarkable depth and skill. Year 11 explored the theme of Vanitas through evocative oil paintings and showcased individual works in their chosen mediums. Year 12 captivated audiences with Chuck Close-inspired drawings and oil paintings, as well as deeply personal pieces reflecting their identities and experiences.

The evening also included the presentation of several awards – not as a competition, but as recognition of students’ dedication to refining their skills and contributing to the rich art culture at CBC Fremantle. These acknowledgements celebrated perseverance, creativity, and the courage to express unique perspectives.

The Annual College Art Exhibition continues to be a cornerstone of CBC’s commitment to fostering artistic excellence. It was a truly inspiring event that reflected the passion and innovation of our students and the supportive environment that nurtures their growth.

Thank you to Ms Zoe Francis, Mr Harry Nesbit, Ms Lana De Palma, and Ms Michelle Timms for your unwavering support and passion for the boys’ learning, which resulted in a wonderful exhibition.

The Arts Music

Mr Shane Mancuso, Director of Music

“The Music Program has been very exciting this year as I have been able to make new friends and show my talents, and the performances and excursions have helped me develop my skills as a musician while also making it very enjoyable for everyone.”

Finn Neville (Year 12)

“Music at CBC Fremantle is something special. The energy, the teamwork, and the chance to perform make it one of the best parts of school life. You don’t just learn music here – you live it.”

Dylan Pascoe (Year 8)

The 2025 school year has been another outstanding year for the CBC Fremantle Music Department, filled with memorable performances and opportunities for students to share their talents with the wider community.

The year began with a highly successful Music Sundowner, which once again brought families, staff, and students together in celebration of music and community spirit. Throughout the year, our talented students continued to enrich the life of the College with lunchtime concerts in the Cloisters, highlighting a variety of ensembles, soloists, and small groups. Music was also a regular feature of College assemblies, where bands and soloists performed to a supportive audience of peers and staff.

A significant highlight of the year was the annual Music Camp, which gave students an invaluable opportunity to develop ensemble skills, build friendships, and prepare repertoire for upcoming performances. Performance opportunities continued to flourish, with the Jazz Combo giving a vibrant performance at the Fremantle venue Fire in Your Belly, delighting local audiences and family members. The tradition of Jazz at the Club remained a highlight on the calendar, bringing together our larger ensembles in a professional performance setting.

Students also participated in the Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools, where they performed with distinction, receiving certificates of Outstanding and Excellence, reflecting the depth and breadth of talent within the program. The CBC Music Festival showcased all of the College’s bands and ensembles. The evening also provided the opportunity to thank and farewell our dedicated Year 12 musicians who have been an invaluable support and inspiration to all.

The highlight of 2025 was undoubtedly the Music Tour to Singapore, where students performed for appreciative audiences of swing dancers, collaborated with international peers, and represented CBC

Fremantle with pride. The tour not only enhanced performance standards but also created lasting memories for the students and staff involved.

As this is my final year at CBC Fremantle after 22 years as Head of Arts/ Director of Music, I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to the College, staff, students, and families for your unwavering support. It has been a privilege to lead such a vibrant program, and I deeply appreciate the trust and encouragement that has made this journey so rewarding. I leave with immense pride in what we have achieved together and with warm wishes for the future of music at CBC Fremantle.

Singapore Music Tour

Mr Shane Mancuso, Director of Music

“Not only was the tour great fun, it was also an opportunity to grow closer to other students you wouldn’t otherwise see outside of school.”

Vincent Neesham (Year 12)

“The school music tour gave us the chance to perform in many different venues, and my favourite part was playing at a swing dance club. The energy of the dancers made the experience unforgettable.”

Ned Dewar (Year 10)

“The tour was a fantastic opportunity for all of us that will never be forgotten amongst the group. The performances, especially alongside the swing dancers certainly made all of the rehearsals and effort worth it!”

Leon Valli (Year 10)

During the July school holidays, 28 of our senior musicians from Years 1012 embarked on a week-long tour to Singapore. The tour provided a valuable opportunity for our students to share their music internationally while also experiencing the rich culture of Singapore.

The ensemble performed at a variety of venues, including the Church of the Sacred Heart, Centrepoint Shopping Centre, a Lindy Hop Swing Dance social evening, and during a rehearsal exchange with Yio Chu Kang Secondary School. Students also attended local concerts, gaining insight into Singapore’s jazz music community. Each performance was met with warm appreciation from audiences and gave our musicians greater confidence and pride in their craft.

Beyond the concert stage, students enjoyed a busy itinerary of cultural and recreational activities. Highlights included visits to Universal Studios, Gardens by

the Bay, the Night Safari, Orchard Road, Marina Bay Sands Skypark, Vivo City, and Adventure Cove Water Park. These experiences helped strengthen friendships across year levels and created lasting memories for all involved.

This tour would not have been possible without the generous contribution of the CBC Music Parents Group, who provided subsidies to assist every student’s participation. Sincere thanks are also extended to Miss Zoe Baldock, Mrs Cathy Broad and Ms Emma Tandy for accompanying the group and supporting the students throughout the week.

The Singapore Music Tour was a highlight of the year for the CBC Music Department. It showcased the talent, dedication and spirit of our musicians and stands as an inspiration to younger students to continue practising and striving for future opportunities.

English

Mr Jeffery O’Neill, Head of English

“From learning how to read texts through various critical lenses to attending the theatre – Literature has provided me so many opportunities to learn which I wouldn’t have otherwise had this year.”

Mackenzie Fleming (Year 12 ATAR Literature)

“Miss Sullivan’s iconic blind rankings, meme counts, and birthday brownies always lighten up our class.”

Noah Kenworthy (Year 12 ATAR Literature)

2025 has been another outstanding year for the English Learning Area at CBC Fremantle. Together with Mrs Gretel Ah-Tive, Ms Mikayla Connolly, Mrs Elisa Grose, Mr Daniel Karlsen, Ms Keely Laing, Mrs Hayley Nankivell, Mrs Jennifer Power, Ms Tavia Pursell, Mr James Schubert, and Ms Chloe Sullivan, I have had the pleasure of witnessing the continued growth and achievements of our students, as well as the vibrant community spirit that defines our department.

2025 kicked off with news of some of CBC’s best-ever English and Literature results from the 2024 cohort. Standouts

included Will Renton, who received a Subject Certificate of Excellence for ATAR English, and Micah Renton, whose remarkable ATAR of 99.5 was bolstered by high scores in both ATAR English and Literature. Achievements like these highlight the talent and dedication of our CBC boys, as well as the support and guidance of the hardworking English staff.

English Week once again provided a highlight of the year. Our Spelling Bee grows from strength to strength, showcasing the impressive skills of our younger students. Beloved events such as the Roast and Toast and the Where’s Wally Hunt continue to bring laughter and excitement to the College, while the fabulous dress-up day tradition on the final Friday of the week allows Year 12s and College staff alike to embrace their creativity, reinforcing the strong sense of community and fun that makes CBC Fremantle so special.

Another memorable moment was the visit from ‘Macshane’, a freestyle rapper, who ran his engaging RhythmandPoetry

incursion with our Year 10 students. His presentation was informative, interactive, and a whole lot of fun, leaving students inspired to explore the connections between music, language, and creative expression.

A personal highlight of the year was attending the Bell Shakespeare production of Romeo and Juliet with our Literature students. Experiencing this classic text brought the story to life and sparked rich discussion, deepening students’ understanding and appreciation of Shakespeare’s work.

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the staff of the English Learning Area. Your professionalism, creativity, and commitment to our students continue to be a source of inspiration and pride.

As we reflect on a year filled with achievement, creativity, and connection, we look forward to continuing this momentum into 2026, confident that our students will keep challenging themselves and reaching new heights.

Hugo Clauson (Year 8)

Humanities at CBC has had a vibrant and impactful year in 2025, offering students hands-on learning experiences that connect deeply with real-world contexts. Highlights included the Year 10 Welcome to Work Day, which introduced students to future career pathways, and the Year 8 World Fair, a lively celebration of global cultures. Year 7 students explored sustainability through a Waterwise incursion, while Year 9 students gained historical insights during excursions to Fremantle Prison and the Army Museum.

Elective subjects have been a standout success, with students embracing the practical and engaging nature of offerings like The Entrepreneur, Investment, and The Vikings. One student from The Entrepreneur elective shared, “I love learning stuff we actually will use in our jobs one day,” while another from Investment said, “Useful learning! Fun, freedom and for the future.”

A Vikings student added, “It’s interesting learning about my ancestry.” These electives have helped students build skills in business, finance, and historical inquiry in ways that feel relevant and exciting.

The HASS Department’s commitment to meaningful learning has made HASS a favourite among students, blending academic rigour with creativity and exploration. Events and excursions have not only enriched the curriculum but also fostered curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of society and history.

Looking ahead to 2026, CBC Fremantle’s HASS Department is preparing to launch new electives including Medieval and Dictators in Year 9, promising even more opportunities for students to explore the past, understand power and leadership, and engage with the world around them in thoughtful and imaginative ways.

Health and Physical Education

Mr Troy Mollica, Head of Health and Physical Education

“Our Physical Education lessons adopt a game sense approach, encouraging critical thinking and decision-making, while Health Education focuses on collaboration and problem-solving to support student wellbeing and lifelong learning.”

The Health and Physical Education program at CBC continues to provide students with engaging and diverse opportunities to develop their knowledge, skills, and understanding. Our Physical Education lessons adopt a game sense approach, encouraging critical thinking and decision-making, while Health Education focusses on collaboration and problem-solving to support student wellbeing and lifelong learning.

The Rock and Water program, now in its fourth year, continues to be a significant component of our curriculum. This year, two staff members undertook the official threeday training course, further strengthening staff expertise and confidence in delivering the program. This professional development ensures that the core Rock and Water strategies can be more widely implemented across the College next year.

CBC Fremantle is fortunate to have a teaching team with extensive expertise across a range of disciplines. This enables the delivery of high-quality specialist programs, including Sports Science in Years 8-10 and Fitness for Life in Year 10. These courses extend students’ theoretical and practical knowledge while also providing pathways towards further study and potential careers in health, fitness, and sport.

Enrolments in Physical Education ATAR and General courses remain strong, with students benefitting from a variety of

unique experiences. Highlights in 2025 included a biomechanics-focused standup paddleboarding excursion at Swan Yacht Club and expert Badminton coaching delivered by Olympian Nick Kidd. General PE Studies students also furthered their own coaching skills through opportunities to lead other students at the ACC Lightning Carnivals and peer coaching opportunities.

A major development in 2025 was the introduction of the Soccer elective for Year 9, which can now be added as another opportunity for our boys along with our AFL electives in Years 9 and 10. Our AFL elective has also evolved this year, with our Year 10 Students engaged in fitness testing at the WAIS facility and our Year 9 boys completing a Geraldton football camp for the first time in Term 4. During this trip students played in a fixture against Nagle Catholic College and completed some coaching in a local primary school, putting their coaching abilities to the test. We extend our thanks to Mr Sam Buhagiar, Mr Kane Lucas, Mr Max Murphy, and Mr Jarrod Parry for their leadership in designing and delivering this elective.

As we enter 2026, the Health and Physical Education program at CBC is well positioned to build on these successes. We remain committed to providing students with high-quality, challenging, and rewarding experiences that promote personal growth, academic achievement, and lifelong engagement in health and physical activity.

Italian

Ms Silvia Romagnoli, Head of Italian

A major highlight of the 2025 school year was the inaugural Italian Festa Day, a joyful celebration of Italian culture that brought together the entire CBC Fremantle community. For one full day, the College transformed into a vibrant Italian piazza, filled with food, music, colour, and plenty of laughter.

The Festa featured a lively market with delicious homemade Italian dishes generously prepared by parents, a gelato van that proved immensely popular, and the unmistakable sounds of Italian music. The CBC band set the tone with their performances, while Mr Accordion Man filled the campus with the festive rhythms of traditional Italian melodies. Adding to the fun, students enthusiastically took part in the spaghetti-eating competition, which quickly became a crowd favourite.

Earlier in the year, in Term 1, the Year 8 Italian students embraced Italian creativity by designing and decorating traditional masks. Their colourful creations were proudly displayed in a vibrant parade, bringing a touch of Venetian carnival spirit to our College.

During Terms 2 and 3, the Italian classes benefitted from the presence of a native Italian Language Assistant from an Italian university, who supported students in developing their language skills and deepening their understanding of contemporary Italian culture and trends.

Year 8 Italian students also deepened their cultural understanding through the topic “Al ristorante” (At the restaurant). They designed their own restaurants and menus and practised role-plays of ordering and serving food in Italian – an engaging way to bring their classroom learning to life.

The Year 9 students enjoyed their visit to the Fremantle Italian Club, where they learnt about the history and legacy of Italian migration in the local community. Listening to stories and sharing food made this experience both personal and memorable, strengthening the boys’ connection to Italian heritage.

Meanwhile, the Year 10 and 11 students built on their skills through social and academic experiences, including a Quiz Night with Penrhos College and a speed dating language activity with Santa Maria College. These opportunities gave them the confidence to use Italian in authentic contexts.

A special highlight for the Year 12 students came in Term 3, when they participated in a three-day Italian immersion camp with students from other schools. This experience allowed them to fully engage with the language while also building friendships and cultural connections beyond the classroom.

International exchanges also played an important role in strengthening cultural ties. The College welcomed Paolo, a student from Leone XIII in Milan, who brought a

unique perspective to our community. In November, two CBC students, Jack Dudley and Rhyda Macintyre had the opportunity to travel to Milan and attend Leone XIII, immersing themselves in Italian language, culture, and daily life. These exchanges fostered authentic learning and strengthened global friendships that will last well beyond the school year.

The success of the 2025 Italian Festa Day, together with the many cultural and linguistic experiences across year levels, demonstrated the strength of our College’s Italian program. We look forward to continuing these traditions in the years to come, nurturing in our boys a lasting appreciation for Italian heritage, community, and identity.

This year has been one of the most exciting yet in the CBC Library! Semester 1 saw record-breaking book borrowing, with more students than ever diving into new worlds and stories – a true celebration of reading.

We hosted a wide range of events and activities that became highlights of the school year. From themed weeks and creative clubs to quizzes and bookish breakfasts, students had fun connecting through stories, imagination, and shared

experiences. Each event brought students together in engaging ways, making the library a vibrant hub of learning and community.

Term 2 was packed with excitement, beginning with Star Wars Day on May the Fourth, where students from Years 7-12 tested their galactic knowledge in a lively quiz. Later in the Term, we conjured up a magical Harry Potter Week, complete with enchanting decorations, themed activities, and spellbinding fun that brought Hogwarts to life. Our Year 7s were once again victorious in the annual Harry Potter Quiz!

The LEGO Club reached new heights of creativity, building an impressive model of the Titanic and crafting a portrait of Mr Burgio. Our two LEGO Captains and four LEGO teams worked collaboratively to ensure their creations were completed on time and to a high standard.

The Library Stewards continued their fantastic work, supporting daily operations and stepping into leadership roles by developing their own student-led activities. Their initiative and enthusiasm have been truly inspiring.

Our amazing Laptop Centre staff arranged for the Flight Simulator to be upgraded,

and they added an F1 car racing sim. The simulators have been booked out all year, and we have seen the boys improve their skills, getting faster and better each time they play.

We proudly hosted the Year 7 Dungeons & Dragons Club, where storytelling and strategy came alive in epic adventures. Our Breakfast Book Club continued to bring together book lovers from CBC and Iona Presentation College. Over 120 students across both schools came together over the year to share breakfast and their thoughts on books they had recently read.

We also ran our Father’s Day Book Fair for a second year, welcoming local booksellers – PaperBird, NewEdition, and TheChart&MapShop – who brought specially curated selections aimed at boys and their dads. The Father’s Day Photo Challenge encouraged families to creatively showcase reading together, promoting a lifelong love of books. Dogtober entered its third year with even more photos and even cuter dogs getting into the reading spirit!

It’s been a year of growth, creativity, and connection in the Library – and we can’t wait to see what the next chapter holds!

Mathematics

Mr Andre

Leicester, Head of Mathematics

“This year marked the largest ever number of students taking the ‘harder’ math subjects. With 32 students enrolled in Mathematics Specialist in Year 11 and over 65 students doing Mathematics Methods, 35% of the cohort was represented. This is a remarkable result when compared to the 9.5% average in Western Australia.”

Once again it has been a privilege to lead an amazing team of educators who go above and beyond to make our school a special place. From the one-on-one student interactions in Maths Help to the creation of exceptional teaching resources and assessments, working with our Math teachers at CBC Fremantle is such a pleasure.

Our year kicked off with the wonderful news of great academic results in Mathematics achieved by our 2024 students in their ATAR exams, making our teachers very proud. Every teacher from Year 7 through to Year 12 contributes to the solid educational foundation that CBC students acquire, which helps them to achieve such strong results. The accolades must go not only to our Year 12 teachers but also to all those involved in the journey of a boy to a man at CBC.

In recent years, we have received positive and reaffirming feedback from CEWA regarding the NAPLAN results and trends at CBC Fremantle. At the time they do their NAPLAN test in Year 7, on average more than 50% of our incoming Year 7 cohort show results below national standards. By the time these boys do their NAPLAN test in Year 9, more than 80-90% of our cohort are performing above national averages.

This evidence shows that a test in Year 5 or Year 7 is not a judgement of the ‘ability’ of a child but rather a snapshot of what they have learned at the time of the assessment. With effective intervention provided by the College through our dedicated teachers within the classroom through differentiation in the Mathematics streams, to Maths Help outside the classroom, these young minds are able to not only learn the subject and its prescribed curriculum content, but rather demonstrate its application in context as it is measured within a NAPLAN assessment.

It is with great pride and humility that we accept such feedback from our students’ results. It not only validates our efforts as

parents and educators but also energises us to put even more effort into our lessons for the educational benefit of our students.

This year marked the largest ever number of students taking the ‘harder’ Mathematics subjects. With 32 students enrolled in Mathematics Specialist in Year 11 and over 65 students doing Mathematics Methods, 35% of the cohort was represented. This is a remarkable result when compared to the 9.5% average in Western Australia.

The Mathematics culture at CBC Fremantle is nothing short of exceptional. Our students feel encouraged, supported, and validated when they attempt Mathematics subjects, often accepting the challenge of being placed in a harder subject or class for them to ‘give it a go’. This inclusive and non-judgemental approach makes students feel safe to learn without the fear of failure. It allows students to understand and live the idea of ‘the love of learning’.

Maths Help gives students, irrespective of year level or maths pathway, the opportunity to have individual help or tutoring for two hours after school every week. Students continued to make excellent use of this service, and the increased demand required that more Maths teachers were available during these times.

This year we saw Maths Help in three classrooms at times to accommodate the large number of students attending. We particularly thank the teachers who made themselves available. On Wednesdays, Miss Olivia Burgio, Mr Mark Cornish, Ms Stacey Ann Cullum, and Mr Andre Leicester; and on Thursdays, Mrs Amelia Andrew, Mr Evgeny Bespalov, Mr Craig Jones, and Mr Daniel Kennedy. This made it possible for every student to have their respective teacher available outside class. Students were also encouraged to seek help at times from a different teacher with different explanations to develop their learning style.

Outdoor Education

Mr Declan Stack, Head of Outdoor Education

From sunlit beaches to misty forests, this year’s Outdoor Education program offered students a diverse and unforgettable range of experiences. Whether hiking through rugged terrain, abseiling into caves, or simply enjoying the peace of nature, the boys embraced every moment – rain or shine.

More than just physical activity, Outdoor Education provided a chance to disconnect from the pressures of school, family, and technology, and reconnect with themselves and each other.

Outdoor Education continues to be a highlight of the school year for many students, offering not just adventure but meaningful opportunities for personal growth, reflection, and connection.

Here’s what some of the Year 11 and 12 students had to say:

“Adventures, experience, amazing.”

“Very enjoyable – one of the best experiences of my life. I’d love to do it again.”

“I enjoyed just chilling and being out in nature.”

“Intriguing and testing – some of the caves and abseil activities challenged me deeply.”

“I loved it! It was fun. Abseiling and going through the caves were a great experience.”

“Overall, really good – helped me push through challenges and take time away from school, family and technology.”

“The camp was very enjoyable. I felt like I got a lot out of it and saw people for who they really were.”

“An amazing experience full of fun and adventure. I made new friends, tried exciting activities, and created memories I’ll never forget.”

“The camp was an eye-opener. Walking and being in your head all day – you learn a lot about yourself.”

Religious Education

Ms Georgina Bowler, Director Mission and Identity

“Throughout the year, the Edmund Rice Touchstones: Liberating Education, Gospel Spirituality, Inclusive Community, and Justice and Solidarity, have shaped our learning and guided our community spirit.”

This year in Religious Education, our classrooms have been alive with conversation, curiosity, and faith in action. Together, students have explored what it means to live with purpose, compassion, and courage in today’s world – following the example of Jesus and inspired by the vision of Blessed Edmund Rice.

From the very beginning of the year, students have been encouraged to ask the big questions: Who am I? What do I believe? How can I make a difference? Through scripture studies, reflection, and class discussions, they have learned that faith is not just about knowing – it is about doing. Our Religious Education program continues to help students see how the Gospel comes to life in the choices we make every day.

Throughout the year, the Edmund Rice Touchstones: Liberating Education, Gospel Spirituality, Inclusive Community, and Justice and Solidarity, have shaped our learning and guided our community spirit. Whether it’s through exploring Catholic Social Teaching, celebrating liturgies, or participating in service projects, students have shown a genuine desire to bring faith and justice together. This reminds us that Religious Education is not confined to the

classroom; it is lived out in every act of kindness, generosity, and reflection that helps build a better world.

It has been inspiring to see students embrace opportunities to serve others, question deeply, and grow in understanding of themselves and their relationship with God. They have shown that faith is something dynamic and alive – something that challenges us to see the face of Christ in everyone we meet.

As the year concludes, we celebrate a community that continues to walk in the footsteps of Edmund Rice – open to learning, grounded in faith, and committed to justice. May our students carry this spirit with them, bringing light, hope, and compassion to the world wherever their journeys lead.

The students have been taught and guided by passionate and dedicated teachers this year: Mr Griffin Becsi, Ms Mikayla Connolly, Ms Rebecca Coupar, Mrs Carol Denny, Ms Lana De Palma, Miss Emer Hickey, Ms Chloe Lynn, Mr Louis Miller, Mr Jarrod Parry, Miss Lucia Queiros, Mr Dean Robinett, Mr Michael Ruggiero, Mr James Schubert, Mr Matthew Silveira, Mr James Sweeny, Ms Emma Tandy, and Mr Steve Veliath.

Ewan Stirling (Year 12)

The Science Department has had an exciting and productive year, filled with innovation, hands-on learning, and a strong focus on building students’ scientific inquiry skills. From developing new curriculum content to hosting engaging activities during Science Week, the department has continued to inspire curiosity and a love of Science in students across all year levels.

A major undertaking this year has been the Science team’s work on updating and refining the Science curriculum, which will

be implemented in the following academic year. This new curriculum brings in exciting new content and skills and a greater emphasis on inquiry-based learning, encouraging students to ask questions, design investigations, and think critically about the world around them. The team has collaborated closely to ensure the content is engaging, relevant, and aligned with the latest educational standards and scientific understanding. With a focus on real-world applications and scientific thinking, the updated curriculum aims to equip students with the skills and confidence they need to succeed in Science, both in school and beyond.

One of the most exciting events on the school calendar was Science Week, held in Term 3, with the theme Decodingthe Universe.This week-long celebration of Science was packed with engaging activities designed to showcase the wonder and diversity of scientific discovery.

Students were invited to take part in a variety of hands-on experiences that brought Science to life. One popular activity involved riding a stationary

bike to power a blender, turning their chemical potential energy into kinetic energy to make banana smoothies. It was a fun and tasty way to explore energy transformations in action!

Students also had the opportunity to engage in dissections, gaining firsthand experience with anatomy and developing their observation and analytical skills. Budding engineers enjoyed the spaghetti and marshmallow tower-building challenge, using teamwork and creative thinking to build structures that could withstand height tests. Meanwhile, demonstrations involving liquid nitrogen amazed and educated, showing the effects of extreme cold on different materials –always a crowd-pleaser!

Sincere thanks go to the entire Science team for their incredible work. Their dedication to creating engaging learning experiences, updating curriculum, and fostering scientific skills in students has made a lasting impact. Through their efforts, they encourage our students to think like scientists – curious, creative, and always questioning.

Technologies

Mr Stephen McLean, Head of Technologies

“Woodwork has been really enjoyable because after making a ukulele, we now get to design and create our own projects in a way that reflects our own ideas and interests.”

Evan Fitzpatrick (Year 10)

This year, the Technologies Department upgraded two new Design and Engineering rooms, purpose-built to inspire and support students with a passion for STEM and Design. Outfitted with high quality equipment – including high-performance 3D printers, precision vinyl cutters, and advanced laser cutters – these spaces empower students to bring their most creative projects to life, fostering innovation and hands-on learning in a dynamic environment.

In our Materials subjects, we’ve taken a hands-on approach to learning by introducing more complex, real-world projects that spark both creativity and practical engagement. Students have had the opportunity to design and build musical instruments they can play, as well as skim boards and skateboards they can ride –bringing their creations to life in a tangible, exciting way. These projects blend technical craftsmanship with graphic design, allowing students to explore aesthetics alongside engineering principles.

As their confidence and capabilities grow, we encourage students to take ownership of their learning by designing their own projects. This fosters independent thinking, strengthens problem-solving skills, and deepens their understanding of how design and function intersect in everyday life.

A highlight of the year has been collaborating with all our Technologies staff, from Metalwork through to Catering by making our own wood-fired pizza oven. We drew upon the expertise of Metalwork teachers and students and the knowledge of Catering teachers to make controversially, the best pizzas in Fremantle. It created a fun, hands-on learning experience that strengthened school spirit and brought the community together over delicious pizza.

None of this would have been possible without our resident pizza expert and technician, Mario – the man, the myth, the maestro of pizza. Raised in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Mario swears by one sacred truth: “Ifyou’renotusingolivewood, you’renotmakingpizza–you’rejustbaking breadwithtoppings.”

The Digital Technologies Engineering program offers students a dynamic introduction to 3D modelling, coding, and construction – skills that are increasingly relevant in today’s tech-driven world. With the addition of artificial intelligence, students explore how AI can be applied to solve problems, streamline processes, and enhance design thinking. It’s a hands-on, forward-looking approach that encourages analytical thinking and realworld problem-solving.

Here at CBC, we emphasise the importance of coding and AI as essential tools for future careers. Whether students are designing prototypes, experimenting with AI models, or writing code, they’re gaining practical experience that builds both confidence and capability. The program helps students connect creativity with technology in meaningful ways, preparing them for the challenges and opportunities ahead.

The Catering program offers students an immersive, hands-on introduction to the world of food preparation and hospitality. Working in a professional-style kitchen, students develop essential culinary skills while gaining valuable insight into the standards and expectations of the industry.

In Year 7 and 8, students establish a strong foundation by learning the fundamentals of cooking and kitchen safety. By Year 9, they extend their skills by designing and testing their own recipes, building confidence and creativity. In Year 10, the focus turns to advanced presentation and plating techniques, where students have achieved outstanding results.

“I like trying new diverse foods almost every week.”

Liam Cooney (Year 9)

I’d like to thank all the staff in our department for a wonderful year providing excellent and engaging experiences for our students. In Catering, students were inspired by Mrs Antonella Burgio, Ms Angela Calanni, Mrs Jennifer Power, Ms Natalie Sansom, and Ms Suzanne Walker. Materials subjects were led by Mr Mario D’Alessandro, Mr Kaleb Milsom, Mr Cooper Prunster, Mr Chris Sellings, and Mr Matthew Stockton. Mr Harry Nesbit, Ms Vanessa Ricciardi, and Mr Henry Taylor led creative lessons in Digital Technologies.

Co-Curricular

Co-curricular activities play a vital role in shaping well-rounded students by complementing academic learning with real-world experiences. They foster personal growth, build resilience, encourage teamwork, and help students discover and develop their unique talents. These programs also nurture leadership, creativity, and a sense of belonging within the school community. Below is a glimpse into the diverse range of Co-curricular opportunities available to our students in 2025.

Art Studio

The Visual Arts Department offered a Co-curricular open art studio, providing students with additional time to develop their artworks in a relaxed and creative environment. Led by Mrs Carmen Stewart and Ms Zoe Francis, the studio fostered individual expression and artistic growth through one-on-one guidance and support. Students benefitted from personalised tuition and the opportunity to refine their skills outside regular class hours. The space encouraged experimentation and collaboration, contributing positively to the overall arts program.

Coding Club

This year, Coding Club has continued to provide students with an engaging environment in which to explore programming, digital design, and problem-solving. While the club usually welcomes students from Years 7 and 8, the enthusiasm from last year saw a group of Year 9 students request to continue their involvement in 2025. Their return added an extra layer of experience and leadership to the weekly sessions.

Students from Years 7, 8, and 9 have developed their skills through a variety of projects including game design, coding challenges, and robotics. The club not only encourages technical growth but also promotes collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. Students are challenged to approach problems logically while being supported to experiment with innovative solutions.

More than just learning to code, students have built confidence, resilience, and the persistence to keep going when things get challenging. Coding Club continues to play an important role in fostering a passion for technology and equipping students with valuable skills for the future.

“Coding Club has taught me how to solve problems step by step. Even when something doesn’t work the first time, I’ve learned how to keep trying until I find a solution.”

Nicolas Niciforo (Year 8)

“I really enjoy how we can be creative with our projects. Coding Club makes technology fun while also challenging us to think in new ways.”

Oliver Watkin (Year 9)

Ecology Club

This year has been a productive year in the Ecology Club. We have nurtured our everlastings from seeds, made succulents in a jar for Mother’s Day, built our own insect hotel from scratch out of wood and looked through the paper recycling bins, giving Mentor classes tips on how they can reduce contamination.

“We said farewell to Ms Rosemarie Boyhan, who was a long serving member and coordinator of Ecology Club. She contributed so much, and we will be forever grateful for her knowledge and expertise and will miss her greatly.

We’ve had two new Year 7s join us this year, Colton Carr and Benjamin Windram, who have been very helpful and enthusiastic about our work. We can’t wait to continue our environmental journey next year.”

Ruairi Roberts (Year 11)

WarHammer Club

This year, the CBC Warhammer Club journeyed into the far reaches of the Warhammer universe, where strategy, creativity, and imagination collided! Each Tuesday afternoon, students gathered to build, paint, and battle with legendary armies such as the Space Marines, Necrons, Stormcast Eternals, and Gloomspite Gitz. From fine-detail painting to epic tabletop clashes, members developed their skills while forging new friendships along the way. The club’s welcoming atmosphere and spirit of collaboration made every session an adventure. We look forward to many more battles and creative masterpieces in the years to come!

Year 7 Homework Club

In 2025, the Year 7 Homework Club continued to be a valuable support for our youngest students seeking extra help with their studies. Held after school every afternoon from Monday to Thursday, the club provided a quiet, welcoming space where students could complete homework, ask questions, and receive guidance from their Year 7 teachers.

Many students found the sessions helpful in deepening their understanding of classwork and building confidence in their learning. Beyond academic support, the club also encouraged positive study habits and peer collaboration, helping students feel more organised and motivated throughout the year.

Zen Den

Launched this year as a calm and inclusive Co-curricular option, the Zen Den offered students a welcoming space to relax, connect, and recharge. Open to all year levels, it encouraged social interaction through non-competitive activities such as mindful colouring, board and card games, or simply enjoying lunch in a quieter setting. Designed to foster conversation and build social confidence, the Zen Den continues to grow as more students discover its unique atmosphere.

Sport

ACC Senior Soccer

Mr Sam Buhagiar, Director of Sport Sport

In 2025, CBC Fremantle continued to build on its strong sporting tradition, offering students outstanding opportunities to learn new sports, refine their skills, and proudly represent the College. Our major intra-school carnivals – Swimming, Cross Country, and Athletics – once again drew exceptional participation, with students competing enthusiastically and demonstrating impressive levels of commitment across all year groups. On the interschool stage, CBC performed with distinction, regularly challenging and succeeding against much larger Colleges through teamwork, resilience, and a deep sense of school pride.

This year also marked further growth in our Co-curricular sporting program. Participation in interschool competitions and one-day carnivals increased, further strengthening the College’s reputation as an active and highly competitive sporting community. A major highlight was the continued development of our junior sporting clubs, with consistently strong attendance across Volleyball, Basketball, AFL, Soccer, Netball, Running, Tennis, Rugby, and Water Polo. This high level of involvement allowed the College to offer additional competitive fixtures across multiple sports, providing more students with meaningful pathways to represent CBC and develop their talents in structured game environments.

2025 also saw the introduction of targeted performance and leadership opportunities, including strength and power workshops, running-technique sessions, and umpiring and coaching development courses for Years 9 and 10 students. These initiatives not only enhanced athletic development but also helped foster confident, capable young leaders within our sporting community.

Across all programs – representative teams, carnivals, and weekly clubs – student engagement remained exceptional, reflecting a shared commitment to participation, improvement, and enjoyment. This ongoing success is a credit to our

dedicated students and the staff who invest their time and expertise in coaching, managing, and supporting our athletes. We extend our sincere thanks to all staff who contributed to another outstanding year of Sport at CBC Fremantle.

Although winning trophies is not the sole focus of CBC’s sporting program, the College proudly acknowledges the outstanding achievements of students who represented CBC in 2025. Across a broad range of sports, our students once again demonstrated exceptional dedication, teamwork, and school pride, achieving remarkable success at both ACC and SSWA levels.

Below are some of the standout accomplishments in what was another highly successful year for CBC Fremantle sport:

Swimming: ACC A Grade Senior Boys Shield and Overall Boys Shield – achieving back-to-back titles

Cross Country: SSWA All Schools Overall Boys Shield and ACC Interschool Overall Boys Shield – both secured for a second consecutive year

AFL: Top 4 finish Senior Schoolboys Cup, ACC Year 10 Champion School, ACC Year 7 Champion School, SSWA Year 7 Champion School

Soccer: ACC Senior Soccer Champions Trophy

Surfing: Metro Zone Champion School

Water Polo: SSWA Intermediate (Year 9/10) State Champions

These accomplishments reflect not only the talent of our students but also the collective effort of coaches, staff, families, and the wider CBC community who support our young men to strive for excellence while displaying integrity, humility, and passion in sport.

A particularly pleasing trend in 2025 was the significant increase in senior student participation across our sporting

programs. At a time when many teenagers disengage from organised sport between the ages of 15 and 18, CBC has made it a clear strategic priority to buck this national trend – and the results this year strongly reflected that commitment. Seniors continued to engage in competitive teams, weekly training, fitness programs, officiating pathways, and leadership roles, demonstrating that sport remains a valued and vibrant part of life at CBC Fremantle. In addition to this, the College proudly hosted two CBC Surfing Competitions for the first time, with over 90 students from Years 7-12 taking part, further showcasing the enthusiasm and diversity of sporting interests within our community.

A special acknowledgment must be made to our student leaders for 2025. Once again, CBC Fremantle was guided by a remarkable group of senior students who demonstrated commitment, humility and passion in their roles. Zack Palandri captained the Swimming team, leading with determination and pride as the College secured the ACC Senior Boys and Overall Boys Shields for the second consecutive year. Jacob Rowland, who continued to excel in both Cross Country and Athletics, captained both programs and set the tone through his consistent work ethic, leadership at training, and exceptional performances across major carnivals. Their influence extended far beyond results –they fostered team culture, supported younger athletes, and lived the CBC values in every arena.

The College also proudly recognises our major individual award recipients for 2025: Oliver Pike, recipient of the Sports Service Award; Zac Godwin, awarded the John ‘Polly’ Parker Senior Sportsman of the Year; Luka Franklyn, winner of the Athletics Award; Jacob Rowland, recipient of the Cross Country Award; and Zack Palandri, honoured with the Swimming Award. Each of these young men contributed immensely to CBC’s sporting success, positively impacting their peers and representing the College with integrity and pride throughout the year.

College Captain 2025 Graduation Speech

Oscar Doye

Good evening to the parents, guardians, staff members, and special guests whose investments of time and energy have cultivated the cohort of young men seated among you.

Good evening to my CBC brothers. The graduating Class of 2025.

For many this is a time of celebration, with fist bumps, photos, and hugs. The end of school, no more homework, dress codes or haircuts. For some this may be a bittersweet or a frightening time, with the guarantees of structure and daily interactions with friends coming to a halt. Whatever you’re feeling, though, one thing is certain: tomorrow we will all move on to the next phase of our lives.

Being the recipients of a first-class education steeped in tradition and values, we are incredibly aware of the world around us. We have conviction and high expectations of ourselves, our relationships and communities which we have formed during our time spent together at CBC.

The traditions and values taught by the school are shared by our families and communities. This unified collaboration has provided us with an incredible head start that distinguishes us from others. Having received an education as a CBC boy, we have all worked hard to mature and become the best possible versions of ourselves. This version of us is what sets us apart from the rest. The education, understanding and belief that we are “tomorrow’s gentlemen”.

I’m going to be honest, gents; this speech was difficult to write. How do I accurately encapsulate everything we’ve done, everything we’ve had, and everything we’ve been? The truth is I don’t think I really can capture the connection, the community, the feeling that we’ve developed here. But I’m going to do my best in the way I’ve always tried to: speak from the heart, with genuineness and care. Being myself. Because in essence – that’s what CBC has encouraged us to do. Be our best selves.

From our first steps as energetic, excited and adventurous Year 7s to now mature, confident and empowered Year 12s, the journey has been long but certainly full of opportunities, connections, and self-discovery.

Wayne Gretzky, a former Canadian Ice Hockey player, is attributed with potentially the most impactful and well-known quote about opportunities. He says, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

Opportunities come in many different forms, and I know a lot of people sit and wait for opportunities to find them. They grasp at safety and are forever pleased by mediocrity. I have been guilty of this. Everyone probably has, as it is human to fear the unknown.

To my peers, I know that we are all capable of overcoming these fears. Our CBC journey has exposed us to this: not how to just survive but thrive amongst the unknown. And it showed us the key to moving forward in a healthy way: community. The Rite Journey was our ultimate shared opportunity, our shot that we committed to taking when we committed to this school.

We revealed ourselves fully to one another; we walked together and experienced fun, joy and adventure together. Our time at Bindoon, the Abyss, the retreats and weekly catchups. All of these events, however small or large, repetitive or life-changing they may have seemed, are evidence of our capabilities to overcome and take on opportunities.

It is important to remember that we are young. That we are allowed to make mistakes. We are actually encouraged to. If and when you do make a mistake, the important thing is to learn from it. And to learn from others’ mistakes. While we are young, we will have friends and family to return us to the right path, to help us through our mistakes. So, take a risk. Take it while you are still young, optimistic, and expected to fail. It is in failure that we thrive, that we are resilient, and that we realise we can do so much more.

Potentially, my most cherished and revered takeaway from our time at CBC? The friends I have made for life. Growing up with you all has been an absolute honour. We have had so much fun together over the past six years. Sharing experiences, lessons, opportunities, and memories. I encourage you to take a moment and think about your journey. What feelings come up? For me, it’s feelings of fondness and exuberance. Everyone here has made me feel welcome, included, and cared for. This is important.

It is important because memory isn’t exact. What I mean by this is – you may never remember exactly what someone said or did. Rather, you remember the way they made you feel.

The feeling that you leave others with holds the most significance. Because this is what they always remember. People remember the way that you make them feel. And we have had this modelled to us throughout our time here: from the encouragement of our teachers, leaders and families to our interactions with each other. We leave here with feelings of support, love, kindness and confidence.

To the teachers and staff who have educated us. You have left wisdom, inspired creativity, and taught us lifelong skills and knowledge. You have guided us in both our literal and spiritual education, sharing your life experiences, sacrificing your time, and inspiring us to become “tomorrow’s gentlemen”.

To the Senior Leadership Team, the Heads of House, and Mr Burgio. Your unwavering support and guidance throughout our journey cannot be overstated.

I would like to especially thank Mr Burgio on behalf of the cohort. As your ‘first draft’, we have felt incredibly supported and cared for by you. Your authenticity, engagement, and kindness have provided an impeccable example of what CBC wishes to create in its graduates. Your stories, example, and genuine love for all the boys under your care are truly admirable.

“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

To our families. Thank you for providing us with this education. An education that has given us incredibly strong morals and conviction. Thank you for your unconditional love and support that has driven us to success and beyond. That has moulded us into the young men among you tonight. We hope we have made you proud.

To the prefects, thank you once again. You all played an integral role in the College’s student leadership over the past year. Your initiatives, ideas, and constant encouragement made my role an incredibly fun and enjoyable one. I hope that you felt the same.

To the Class of 2025. You have been with me from the very beginning. We have stood together for the past six years. Sharing in one another’s successes and supporting each other through difficulties and hardship. You are all incredible people. Excellent friends that always know how to make the days go quickly with a fun joke or how to comfort someone when they are down.

We are an incredibly close and tight-knit cohort. We have had so much success and joy throughout our time together. I hope that this doesn’t end. While we may be ending the school routine, I believe that the strength of our brotherhood will endure the test of time. That when we need it, we can call on our CBC brothers, that we can share moments of joy and carry each other through hardships and difficulty.

We are CBC brothers, and that means something. Something to me and hopefully, something to you.

And so, gents, we have come to the close of this chapter, but our story is still unfolding.

We have always been told that we are the future. That we are the generation of tomorrow. Well, tomorrow has arrived. The future is now.

I wish to leave you with a quote to reflect upon by Primatologist Dr Jane Goodall. “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

Go well gents, and good luck.

Symbols of the Journey

Valerio Manfredi

Good evening, parents, teachers, and my fellow graduands of 2025.

Walking through the guard of honour at our final assembly it really hit me: this rollercoaster of a ride that is my CBC journey is coming to an end. I think it hit me in that moment because that was where the whole journey began. And it really didn’t feel like that long ago that I was that Year 7. Nervous, excited, not knowing what to expect. I didn’t know it at the time, but that was the start of six years that would completely shape who I am today.

The symbol I’ve chosen to represent my journey is a rock. The kind that is really rough when it first comes out of the ground, but then goes through some carving, tumbling, and polishing until it became a smooth, more refined stone. The rock represents who I used to be, where I started: rough around the edges, unshaped, a bit all over the place. The carved stone represents who I’m becoming: still the same person underneath, but polished by the lessons, challenges, and people who’ve been part of my story.

But to understand the stone you see before you, you have to hear about the rough rock that barrelled into CBC in 2020. Back then, my main priority was simple: be a good mate. I wanted to fit in, have fun, and make people laugh. I was always a talker, always trying to (and often succeeding in) getting a reaction. I was blessed with a great mentor, full of fun – probably a bit too much fun if I’m honest. Even as a Year 7 it didn’t take long for me to solidify my place there – even if I was standing outside half of the time for making fun of the Notices.

Moving into Year 8 and 9, not a lot changed. These were what you may consider the ‘rough years’ as an increasingly worrying amount of SEQTA notes began being sent home. With this, also came very regular visits to Heads of House where, despite everything, I received amazing support

from Miss Garbin and Miss Lynn. I like to think they saw the ‘polished potential’ of the rough diamond sitting in front of them – and I’m forever grateful for their support; I definitely wouldn’t have made it through without them. I mean, I was there so often I probably could’ve had my name engraved on the chair in there. These were dark times: I got suspended twice in Year 9 in the space of three weeks. I was such a ‘presence’ that I think nearly every teacher in the school knew who I was. I had built quite a reputation for myself, because – much like a rock, I was pretty immovable – I wasn’t changing for anyone.

“It’s not about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.”

Looking back, Year 9 was probably the hardest point for me. I thought being ‘great’ exclusively related to being entertaining. It meant being the funny one, the kid who joked around, the one who pushed things just a little too far. Not going to lie – it was a bit exhausting. And over time, it didn’t feel right anymore. I started to realise that all the laughing and mucking around wasn’t really that great. It wasn’t me being my best self –it was me trying to be liked in the wrong way.

Somewhere between Year 10 and 11, something changed. I can’t point to one exact moment. Maybe I was just tired of being in trouble all the time, or maybe I finally saw what I could be if I actually refined myself – I’m not sure, but something clicked. I wanted to prove to myself and everyone around me that I was capable of more. I wanted to carve a better version of myself.

That’s when things started to shift. I didn’t have to stop being myself I just had to start focussing on what really mattered. I began caring about my work, about how I carried myself, about what kind of person I wanted to become. I realised that being a good mate isn’t about being the loudest or funniest in the room; it’s about showing up, having people’s backs, and helping each other grow.

It wasn’t an overnight change. It took time, effort, and a few more lessons learned the hard way. But I started to see progress. Teachers who once just saw me as ‘that kid who talks too much’ started to see someone who was trying to turn things around. I learned that respect isn’t something you demand it’s something you earn through consistency, attitude, and effort. That I didn’t have to change who I was at the core – I was always full of potential, I just needed some polish.

Year 12 was what brought everything together for me. It’s been a massive year not just in terms of work, but in how close we’ve all become. This year has brought me new friendships, strengthened old ones, and made me realise how special this group of people really is. We’ve been through everything together: the highs, the stress, the laughs, the setbacks, and it’s made us who we are. The mates I’ve made along the way mean everything to me. They’ve been there through all of it, from the days when I couldn’t stop getting into trouble, to the moments, I started to figure it out. They’ve pushed me, kept me grounded, and made school something I’ll never forget. CBC isn’t just a school, it’s a place where I’ve found my people, where I’ve grown up, and where I’ve learned what kind of person I want to be.

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be here. To be shaped by this place. For that, I will never be able to thank my parents, teachers, and peers enough.

Honestly, I was surprised when I got asked to do this speech. If you’d told the Year 9 version of me that I’d be standing up here speaking in front of everyone, he’d probably laugh and tell you you’ve got the wrong guy. But that’s what’s so powerful about change: you don’t always notice it happening until you stop and look back.

I wanted to end with a quote, but truthfully – there weren’t many good ‘rock’ based words of wisdom. So, I settled for one from Rocky Balboa – close enough, right?!

“It’s not about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.”

That’s exactly what this journey has been for me. Because that’s life: getting knocked down, learning, growing, and moving forward.

Thank you.

Symbols of the Journey

Jude Strachan

Good evening, Mr Burgio, staff, parents, guests, and the gentlemen of the Class of 2025. My name is Jude Strachan, and it is a great honour to be standing here tonight to discuss my time at CBC.

When I was told that I was chosen to speak in front of you all tonight, I went through a mixture of emotions. I was happy and proud at first, and then the more I thought about it, the more nervous I became. And then that nervousness became an anxiety which quickly progressed to dread. What was I going to say? What if I were boring? Who would care about my story?

Classic Jude thinking.

But as I have learned, it is in the discomfort that we often learn and grow the most, so here I am – grateful for the opportunity to push through the discomfort and share my story.

My symbol for tonight is water.

There are a few reasons I chose this as my symbol. The first is, despite my oftenrelaxed demeanour, as you can tell, my internal dialogue can be very choppy.

Additionally, when looking back on my journey, I realised there were a lot of times when I was ‘treading water’, so to speak, and that held me back from achieving my potential. And finally, I’ve learned over my time here that when I finally chose to swim –that was when the real growth happened.

Year 7, the start of a new journey, a very little fish moving into what seemed like a very big pond. Being the only one from my primary school coming to CBC wasn’t easy. But before I knew it, I was making new friends and trying to get in the good books of all my teachers.

Everything was going swimmingly, and then, boom: Covid-19. Unlike many who experienced anxiety in this time, I felt like I was floating around in a lazy river. Joining one Zoom call and then telling Mum that I

was done for the day only to jump online and play video games with my new friends, all by 11AM? This high school business was going to be a breeze!

But all good things must come to an end, and unfortunately, after going back to school, I felt like I was starting all over again. My friends were great, but something wasn’t right. I was missing the calmness of the lazy river, and I felt like I was stuck in a rip. Luckily, I was thrown a lifeguard in my Head of House and family, and so I was back floating through the lazy river before I knew it. Spoiler alert: ‘Floating through’ was the way I treated high school for a fair bit of my journey – all of Year 8, in fact.

In Year 9 my favourite ride, the lazy river, was under repair, and I found myself struggling in class. Parent-teacher meetings, a place my people skills had always shone, suddenly became a place where the only thing Mum and I heard that whole night was, “Jude: great kid, cruising through class though.”

So, as most mums do, I was pulled into gear. Homework came first, and video games were only for weekends. I felt like I was stuck in a fast rapid for the rest of the year. I had been floating for months, and I had forgotten how to swim.

Year 10 felt like a waterfall at the start, but to my surprise, with a bit of effort, I began paddling along nicely, even achieving at levels that were not expected of me. However, it felt like I was never able to stay up high for very long. Whether it was academics or sport, I was never a standout. And it started to bother me. I had been comfortable cruising along the lazy river, but the satisfaction that came from actually trying was hard to ignore.

So, I thought, “Why not?” Cricket and academics – I’ll give it a crack. It didn’t happen straight away, and I had to fight the urge to gently float when things got tough, but eventually things started to take a turn,

I got into a new cricket team, and my grades started to reflect the work I was putting in. It turns out Mum and Dad may have known what they were talking about in the pep talk they gave me after all!

And then, Senior School. Year 11, I was thrown into the deep end of what felt like an ocean with no coastline in sight. Starting ATAR, I soon realised that it wasn’t just my classmates that I was competing against, but the whole of WA. Luckily for me, the habits I somewhat built during Year 10 acted as a nice and gentle tide pushing me to shore. I exceeded my academic expectations in Year 11, which gave me great confidence, and the summer break before Year 12 saw me spend most days with the boys that I had made friends with in Year 7. At the beach from sunrise to sunset, whacking a little white ball into bushes, trees and just about everywhere but the hole.

I thought I was primed and ready to conquer the big pool that was Year 12.

And so, I walked through the gym doors for the last first time, clapping in the new Year 7s. After exceeding my academic goals in Year 11, I thought I would pick up where I left off.

But I soon realised the difficulty of Year 12. I spent my first few weeks locked in my room, trying to rework my study habits. Whatever I tried, nothing seemed to work, and so I found every excuse I could to get out of studying. I was treading water big time, trying not to get dragged down by the undercurrent.

I was doing well at ‘appearing’ to be swimming comfortably, but at the end of term one, Darcie, my sister, my safety net, and a float that had always helped to keep my head above the surface, left to take on her own adventure. Not only that, but my Semester One exams weren’t great, I was avoiding study, and my predicted ATAR was sinking quickly.

I felt like I was being repeatedly dumped by some pretty hectic waves. Even when it wasn’t that bad – even when my averages were fine. I felt like I was going around in circles and slowly drowning. On the surface I may have looked placid and relaxed, but under the surface I was paddling as much as I could just to stay afloat.

So, I finally did what every drowning person should do: I called out for help.

And all the lifeguards I hadn’t realised were looking out for me came running. I found I had so much support from the mates who I have kept since Year 7, the teachers who I had developed strong relationships with along my journey, and most importantly, my Mum, Dad and even my sister, who was always checking in on me no matter where she was in the country. And finally, the stormy waters settled, and I was able to swim back to shore.

As I reflect on my journey at CBC, I cannot express how grateful I am that my parents sent me here. For context, I live across the road from another high school, and I often get asked why I don’t go there. The answer is always the same: “Because Mum and Dad wanted a CBC Gentleman.” Seeing myself now, I think I can say confidently that I am truly a CBC Gentleman. One who tries his best but also knows to lean on those around him when he needs help.

Sadly, all good things must come to an end, with our journey at CBC almost over. It is now time for us to swim outside the safety net and throw ourselves into the deep end, with the occasional stint in the lazy river.

The CBC journey has not always been easy, but it’s the staff and our friends and family that have kept us afloat and slowly taught us to become the best swimmers that we can be. And for that, I know we are all forever grateful.

Thank you.

“The CBC journey has not always been easy, but it’s the staff and our friends and family that have kept us afloat and slowly taught us to become the best swimmers that we can be. And for that, I know we are all forever grateful.”
