Information

As part of my address during the Opening, I commented that our vision as a College challenges every member of our community to a life of faith and service.

We believe that the establishment of this Chapel and the celebration of enriching liturgies therein will strengthen the spiritual life of our school.

Thank you again to all who have contributed to the realisation of this vision and I extend a warm invitation to all members of our community to enjoy this sense of the sacred by visiting Blessed Edmund Chapel at any time.

Mr Shane Mancuso, Ms Emma Tandy,

Our Visual and Performing Arts Night

Ms Melissa Skinner, Ms Rosalba Jeffreys,

(ViPA) was held last Friday evening at the Fremantle Town Hall. All in attendance were treated to entertaining performances by our talented young musicians, choristers, artists and drama students. A special feature of the night was a performance by the CBC Old Boys’ Band, some of whom were in the original class when music commenced at the College more than 30 years ago.

This was a wonderful community event and I thank and commend

Ms Catherine Fry-Walker, Ms Zoe Francis Ms Stephanie Hantzis and all of the Music tutors for their skill and diligence in preparing the students for the evening.

I would also like to thank the members of the Music Parents’ Group for their ongoing support of our Arts programmes.
