A taste of things to come... To encourage your contributions to the CBC cookbook, every fortnight we will provide you with a tasty recipe from the CBC community that your boys are bound to love.
Lemon Yoghurt Cake from Pina Lomma This recipe was given to me by a mum when Marcus (Year 9) was in kindy and I have baked this cake on many occasions. It is just a delight and so easy to make. INGREDIENTS 1 cup of plain yoghurt (I use Greek yoghurt) 1 cup sugar 1 cup oil 1 lemon rind 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 eggs 2 cups S/R flour METHOD In a bowl break the eggs and with a wooden spoon mix with the sugar until just combined. Add the yoghurt, oil, lemon rind and juice and flour and mix all together well with the wooden spoon. Grease a Bundt cake tin (or round tin) and bake it at 180째C in a fan forced oven for about 40 minutes. After the cake has cooled placed on a plate and just before serving sprinkle icing sugar on the cake and enjoy! Page 16 | CBC Fremantle Newsletter | Week 1 Term 2
Community Notices It is the policy of CBC Fremantle to distribute information when requested regarding community activities and details about educational programmes. This does not imply that CBC endorses these activities or the information. Please provide information in an unformatted Word document to enquiries@CBCFremantle.wa.edu.au. Submissions will be accepted at the discretion of CBC Fremantle.
Pilates at CBC Pilates is great for flexibility, builds strength and develops control and endurance in the whole human body. The CBC community is invited to early morning Pilates sessions with an experienced instructor from 6.30am to 7.30am twice a week in the Arts Learning Area. Interested people can contact Sonya Gaffney by email.
Relationships Australia Workshops All About Anger – working with Parents and Teenagers Thursday 14 May 6.30pm-9.00pm. $35 per family. This interactive workshop has been designed to support families where anger is an issue. Anger is explained in a way that challenges our labelling of “an angry person” and instead helps us to understand that many of us have simply learnt to react to the emotion of anger in unhelpful ways. For further information please phone Relationships Australia on 9489 6322. Anger Management for Teen Boys 16 to 18 years of age Saturday 16 May 9.30am-4.30pm. $50 per person. Many men completing our Anger Management course tell us how much healthier and happier their lives would have been had they completed the course as teenagers. Now is an opportunity to learn skills for dealing with anger in an open, interactive one day workshop that will support you throughout the years that lie ahead. It will help you manage stress and help you in building positive relationships in all areas of your life. For further information please phone Relationships Australia on 9489 6322.
Maranatha Centre for Adult Faith Formation Exploring questions of faith and meaning? The Maranatha Centre for Adult Faith Formation offers short daytime, evening and online courses in a relaxed and friendly environment.
