Among the nine who received the death penalty on that night, their particular stories have understandably filled the airwaves and print media in this country.

While Australia has been seen at its very best and worst during this time, it is essential that our young men at CBC Fremantle are not influenced by those

believe strongly in the sanctity of life we can never support the death penalty. To do so would be to abandon belief in principles such as redemption, the capacity to reform and the innate dignity which accompanies every human life.

It is more than 400 years since William Shakespeare wrote one of his memorable speeches about the power of forgiveness but it retains great resonance for us at this time. Taken from The Merchant of Venice, a modern interpretation might be: No one shows mercy because they have to.

It just happens, the way gentle rain falls from Heaven.

grandmothers attend the College to begin the celebration of what we all hope will be a wonderful weekend for them. The special Mother’s Day liturgy gave each of the boys a special opportunity to acknowledge their mum and to let them know the essential part they play in their lives. The morning tea that followed gave the mums a chance to re-acquaint themselves with old friends and to make some new ones.

In the lives of young men, the role of mother is a very complex one. The beautiful hymn, Hail Mary: Gentle Woman is part of our Catholic faith tradition and contains the line, ‘teach us wisdom, teach us love.’ Perhaps these teachings are the

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.

Rod’s Baked Beans from Brenda Munro My late husband and Luke’s dad developed this recipe and used to make it frequently, especially when settling down to watch a football game. He never had the chance to enjoy it with his son, but maybe other fathers and sons could enjoy making this very simple, starter’s recipe together!

Ingredients 1 medium brown onion, finely diced 425g can baked beans in tomato sauce ¼ cup BBQ sauce 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon HP sauce Sliced bread, toasted Cheese, small amount, grated Olive oil Method Heat a small amount of oil in a pan, and gently fry the onion on medium heat until golden and tender. Add the baked beans to the pan, mix with the onions, then add the sauces and blend well. Continue to stir over medium heat until thoroughly mixed and heated through.

Serve poured over toast, and top with grated cheese.

Get ready for a Leeuwin adventure this year!

The Leeuwin Ocean Adventure Foundation has some exciting news which we would like to share with your school community. We have just released our full voyage programme for 2015; another season packed with ocean adventures for 14-25 year olds, aboard the STS Leeuwin II. A unique experiential learning program which is endorsed by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority.

We have two remaining voyages coming up before our annual winter maintenance period and then we recommence in September with a couple of voyages to Bunbury, several school holiday voyages, our second Uni Challenge, a few six-day voyages to accommodate those students who have weekend sporting commitments and our annual Ultimate Challenge voyage for those with a physical, sensory or intellectual disability.

Learning to sail a traditional tall ship is a unique and life-changing experience which will challenge participants to step outside their comfort zones and discover their true potential, equipping them with key life skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork and self-confidence. A Leeuwin voyage is not only the ultimate ocean adventure, it also counts as 5 WACE points for students in years 10 to 12 and can now also count as a component of the Duke of Edinburgh Award and the Queen’s Scout Award.

We have a range of scholarships available to cover part of the voyage fare for anyone in need of finan-cial assistance. To find out more about our voyages and scholarship program or to download applica-tion form please visit www.sailleeuwin.com. Alternatively you can contact our office on 9340 4105 or email office@sailleeuwin.com for more information.
