Parking information Parents are requested to please take care when parking on Ellen Street, particularly at drop-off and pick-up time.

Please park in the marked bays and exit the area with caution.

Double parking is not permitted at any time.

Thank you.

Sport shoes update The College understands the difficulties parents have encountered when purchasing sports shoes or joggers for their sons, with the prevailing fashion being overtly colourful, or inappropriate for sport.

Please note that students’ sports shoes or joggers are no longer required to be white but must provide the required support and structure to safely engage in sports activities. Supportive shoes have a firm heel and inflexible sole. Skate shoes are not acceptable.

Any student or parent who is uncertain regarding the suitability of sports shoes is welcome to consult the Head of Health & Physical Education or relevant Head of House prior to purchase.

What CBC boys say about leaving school ...

The Class of 2017 will be finishing classes at CBC in a matter of weeks before commencing study break for their final exams.

We asked a group of Year 12 students what they thought of leaving school and they revealed they have much more in common than just eye wear.

Go to uni – I’m not sure what I’ll do yet.

Adam Turner Year 12

It’s almost at the end of your time at CBC – how do you feel about that?

Excited but a bit nervous about heading into the big, wide world.

Go to uni; I want to do Property Development at Curtin.

What is your favourite memory of CBC? The Rite Journey – it was a good group of boys and I got to know everybody really well and got some good friends that I’ve held on to right up until now, from Year 9.

Who has been your favourite teacher?

Probably Mr Correia. He develops a good student-teacher relationship and is a good mentor.

What are your plans for the future?

I’m currently in the process of becoming qualified as an Education Assistant and then I plan to go to uni to get a teaching degree. I’m looking at doing secondary school Materials Technology and Design but I wouldn’t mind doing a primary physical education course.

What is your favourite memory of CBC? There’s a lot – too many!

Who has been your favourite teacher?

It would have to be Mr Hart. He’s been really helpful to me and is really chilled out about everything.
