Dear Parents, Grandparents and Caregivers,

Apology to Australia’s Indigenous Peoples

“Today we honour the Indigenous peoples of this land, the oldest continuing cultures in human history. We reflect on their past mistreatment.We reflect in particular on the mistreatment of those who were Stolen Generations - this blemished chapter in our nation’s history.The time has now come for the nation to turn a new page in Australia’s history by righting the wrongs of the past and so moving forward with confidence to the future.We apologise for the laws and policies of successive Parliaments and governments that have inflicted profound grief, suffering and loss on these our fellow Australians.We

apologise especially for the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families, their communities and their country.For the pain, suffering and hurt of these Stolen Generations, their descendants and for their families left behind, we say sorry.To the mothers and the fathers, the brothers and the sisters, for the breaking up of families and communities, we say sorry.And for the indignity and degradation thus inflicted on a proud people and a proud culture, we say sorry.We the Parliament of Australia respectfully request that this apology be received in the spirit in which it is offered as part of the healing of the nation.” Excerpt from former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s apology to the Nation in Parliament on 13 February 2008

Christian Brothers College proudly celebrated “Sorry Day” on Tuesday with a breakfast, liturgy and ceremony conducted on both the Junior and Senior Campuses and the flying of the Aboriginal flag at the CBC Children’s Centre.

The CBC Parents and Friends Committee includes: Margaret Salagaras (President), Sue Marzinotto, Eddy Said, Kirsty Morbidelli, Karen Beasley, Maizy Jamal, Nikki Elvish, Tess Newton, Libby Wilson, Jane Simons. We especially welcome new parents to CBC who are also on the P&F Committee in 2012: Vilma Crasto, Ashlyn Crasto , Maria Cocca, Anna Raggiero and Josie Novakov.

Our CBC Parents and Friends provide an opportunity for such a contribution to Catholic Education. I wish to sincerely thank the 2012 CBC P&F Committee and offer parents an invitation to join this group by contacting Deputy Principal Shaun Clarke on 8400 4200.

SACE Merit Awards Ceremony Government HouseOn Tuesday I attended the 2011 SACE Merit Awards Ceremony at Government House. It was a privilege to be present as four of our CBC students received Merit Awards from His Excellency Governor Kevin Scarce. Congratulations to the following students, teachers and families:

• Simon Cousins (English Studies)

• Ahmed Gamar (English Communications)

• Amal George (Mathematical Studies)

• Jordan Barricelli (Japanese).

Parent Information EveningThank you to parents and caregivers who attended our Parent Information Evening on Wednesday. These evenings are important to establish face-to-face contact with your teachers.

I especially thank the CBC P&F for their hard work in catering and hosting the new Parents Welcome Function as part of the evening’s proceedings.

Please remember that important information is available to parents on our College intranet site www.cbc.sa.edu.au/athome which will assist you in contacting your child’s teachers, viewing academic and attendance records, accessing reports and providing you with a valuable tool to start conversations with your child regarding his progress at CBC.

CBC Wins Red Cross City Schools Blood Donation Challenge 5 years in a row!In last week’s Insight edition we published a photo of Red Cross representative Ms Emma Schreiber presenting our 2012 College SRC with the Red Cross Schools Challenge trophy. CBC sees this project as an important part of our Social Action commitment and I wish to formally thank all CBC blood donors, the Student Social Action Group and Mr Clarke for their amazing achievement.

Missioning MassThe 2012 Missioning Mass was held this Friday 17 February in the College gym. During the Missioning Mass Fr Valadarez inducted our 2012 Eucharistic Ministers and the elected Student Representative Council from Reception to Year 12.

Child Protection and SafetyLast week we received disturbing news from a member of the public regarding unsafe behaviour by one of our students at a railway crossing at Largs North. CBC takes all matters regarding child safety and protection with the utmost seriousness. I encourage all parents/caregivers to discuss safety issues with your child.

To assist you in working with the College in the protection of your chid I draw your attention to the following:

• The College’s Child Protection policies and a range of support materials are available to all parents on the website www.cbc.sa.edu.au. Please take the time to review this material.

• CBC conducts a range of parent seminars each year in matters related to child protection, development and wellbeing, cyber safety, boys education and faith development. Please take the time to attend at least one of these sessions this year.

Parents are also encouraged to lead by example and I draw your attention to the number of parents who queue dangerously parallel to the Wakefield Street gates to pick up your child. Please follow all road rules and park responsibly. Parents are encouraged to use both Ifould Street (Senior Campus) and Nil streets (Junior Campus) as the designated pick-up/drop-off points.

Happy Valentine’s DayI leave you this week with the following article from the Adelaide Advertiser on Tuesday which, for Christians, elevates Valentine’s Day from a commercial occasion to a lesson in love.

Churches should do more to support married couples in their relationships, church leaders say.

Father Philip Marshall said the Catholic Church had launched a national St Valentine’s Day

Risk TakingWe all like to be comfortable or at ease with what we do at work, at home, with friends or at recreation. Remaining in our comfort zone is easy and pleasant. If we go outside our comfort zone we take a risk, we are challenged and we generate creative energy and drive. We take a risk when we develop a new friendship, when we change our job, when we join a committee, when we visit someone who is sick, lonely, grieving or in prison. We take a risk when we say sorry to someone, when we accept an invitation, when we do something different or try something new. Herein lie growth, satisfaction, achievement and creativity. What is one risk I could take today?

CREATING STUDENT CENTRED CLASSROOMSThe question that is often asked is how we fully engage students in the classroom. In the past students put up their hands to ask questions or give answers. However, research has shown that only a quarter of the students put their hands up regularly in class. Professor Dylan Williams from the University of London states “It is the same minority of top pupils, usually sitting at the front, who raise their hands to answer questions, while the majority switch off and opt out”. The challenge that we all face as educators is engaging the other three quarters of the class in their learning in the classroom.

As a College community our focus is on student-centred classrooms, where students are directly involved and invested in the discovery of their own knowledge. It is through collaboration and cooperation with others that students fully engage in experiential learning that is authentic, holistic, and challenging. Students are empowered to use prior knowledge to construct new learning. Through the development of the metacognitive process, students reflect on their thinking. Curriculum and assessment are centred on meaningful performances in real-world contexts. As a partner in learning, teachers intentionally create organised and cohesive experiences to assist students to make connections to key concepts.

The value of allowing student responses to steer lessons is to actively engage them in their learning. Asking questions and leading students to solutions nurtures students’ natural curiosity and is recommended over simply giving answers (Brown, 2008). In a student-centred classroom, students are very much a part of constructing their own learning in a holistic environment that capitalises on their interests. The students are encouraged to reflect on their own learning, share their insights with their peers, and apply new learning to real-life, authentic experiences. As a result, when learners are the focus, they become fully engaged in the process.

Student-centred classrooms allow students to use their previous knowledge and understanding of concepts to make connections to new ideas. These connections can then be developed into entirely new concepts that continue to grow throughout a student’s experiences.

A deep understanding occurs when new information offered through higher order thinking activities that prompts the student to rethink and reshape prior ideas. This higher order thinking assists students to make sense of their world through concrete experience, collaborative discourse, and reflection. This is also supported by our focus in neuroscience this year with Professor Martin Westwell. Through developing a student-centred approach to learning students learn to be an effective partner in the learning process where learning experiences are explicitly linked to essential concepts and skills and to students’ current understanding and natural curiosity about the topic in order to scaffold additional or deeper understandings. Students are also engaged in decision making in the classroom and have the opportunity to more fully explore topics.

Jensen (1998) in his research found that greater learning does not come from a lecture style with questions and answers but rather the brain grows in a social environment where students have opportunities to learn from their peers and to gain skills that will be beneficial throughout their lives. When students are engaged in activities that result in authentic and challenging applications, they are more highly motivated to learn.

A student-centred classroom is not a student-controlled classroom. The partnership between teacher and students contributes to the collaborative learning culture. A student-centred classroom does not ignore guiding standards of content or cognition. Aligning learning activities to essential concepts and skills is a key attribute of student-centred classrooms. Using students’ prior knowledge in combination with essential concepts and skills provides for instruction that is both more motivating and engaging. Student-centred classrooms are not factory-model education with one-size-fits-all instructional approaches or passive sitting, listening, and note-taking.

The primary goal of student-centred classrooms is to help students become independent. By keeping students at the centre of one’s classroom, a teacher can encourage and inspire students to seek out knowledge and to strive for understanding at a deeper level. Through this process, students see a greater relevance for and a stronger connection to the subject at hand. Through student-centred instruction, our students can achieve independent minds and the capacity to make educational decisions and value judgments.

initiative to encourage parishioners to think about the religious meaning of love and not simply the commercial aspects.

“Fundamentally, at the very heart of the gospel, we’re created out of love and we’re made for love and one of the richest experiences of love we find is people who can commit to each other for a lifetime,” he said. “We’re making this material available to all parishes and we’re encouraging all churches to connect with it and look for ways to support others in their marriage and to make it a time to focus on the richness of marriage to give the commercial stuff we see at Valentine’s Day a bit of depth.” Father Marshall, who is Vicar General of the Adelaide Archdiocese, said there should be greater congregational awareness about the challenges married people face and more congregational support for couples.

He said young people needed to be encouraged in their marriage after the honeymoon phase was over and that older married couples were the best to offer support. “They’re the best of teachers because they’re the ones who have been through the journey and they’re on it themselves, so I think everything we can do to support young people, we should do,” he said.

This week I pray in thanks for the gift of marriage. I pray in thanks also for those who are separated but whose unconditional love and forgiveness remind us of the sacrifice which love entails. Finally I give thanks to our priests, religious sisters and brothers whose vocation is a witness of love to all in married and single life.

Tertiary Pathways for CBC’s 2011 Year 12 studentsWith the final round of offers from SATAC occurring last week, it is interesting to analyse the post-school pathways that the 2011 Year 12 cohort have selected for their respective futures.

• Almost 70% of CBC students received their first preference at either University or TAFE

• Approximately 98% of CBC students received either their first, second or third preference for University or TAFE

This suggests that CBC students are choosing their Tertiary pathways wisely, selecting courses that suit their academic abilities and interests.

The analysis of Tertiary institutions reveals that, once again, the University of South Australia has been the most popular choice for CBC students, with approximately 36% of SATAC offers being for courses at this university.

The most popular pathways selected by our 2011 Year 12 students include:

• Science including Psychology, Applied and Social Sciences (23%)

• Engineering and Construction (19%)

• Business, Commerce and Management (14%)

• Medical, Pharmacy and Health Sciences (9%)

The pie chart included below indicates the broad areas of tertiary study selected by CBC students for 2012.

Interestingly, the trend of tertiary courses involving Mathematics and Sciences continues for CBC students. Almost 50% of students selected these types of pathways for 2011 and this year, approximately 42% of 2011 graduates are following this trend. An increase in students wishing to study in the areas of Business, Commerce and Management has occurred this year (up from 6.5% in 2011) and it was pleasing to see the number of students receiving offers for courses in education.

This diverse array of tertiary offerings selected by the 2011 cohort is reflective of their wonderfully wide-ranging talents and interests.

Parents of students at CBC have a long history of involvement with the College through their volunteer work.

In 1917 a Ladies Committee was formed to help organise the Annual Sports Day. This group evolved into the Mothers’ Club which played a significant role in alleviating the College’s financial burden during the Depression. Through holding a number of successful functions and concerts, funds were raised at a time when few students were able to pay full fees and there were no government contributions to Catholic schools.

A separate College auxiliary, ‘The Younger Set’, was formed in 1939, devoted primarily to organising appropriate entertainments for young people during war time. These often took the form of dances held at the Australia Hall and are fondly remembered by some of our older old collegians.

During the 1950s a separate group from the Mothers Club was created called the Parents Committee and included many of the fathers. In 1955, the President Mrs J Egar opened the new tuck shop which had been built by the new committee and which was run with volunteers from amongst the mothers.

From 1957-1968 the P&F was ably run by Mrs N Kain through a period of great building and expansion at CBC. The parent groups played major roles in the renovation of the oval and the erection of the change rooms together with raising funds for the new classroom block and the proposed Junior School. When the Christian Brothers Province refused funds for the erection of a boathouse on the Torrens, Br Bourke asked the parents’ group to assume the debt which they did. When Mrs Kain retired in 1968 to assume the Presidency of the Catholic Women’s League, she was honoured with a very large farewell dinner at St Peters Town Hall together with a ceremony at the school.

In 1984 the Mothers’ club was amalgamated into our current Parents and Friends Association to reflect the fact that many of the mothers were now in the workforce and that it was equally important for fathers to be involved in the school life of their sons and so we only needed one group. Since that time there have been many and varied contributions to CBC by our parents, grandparents and extended community through not only the P&F but also the Water Sports Auxiliary, the Friends of Music and the Old Collegians Association.

From the Archives

Music Department newsFor 2012 there are two areas of focus -- the addition of the SACE Music Technology course to be located on the CBC campus and the inclusion of Orff instruments in the upper Junior School and Middle School program.

The integration of music and technology has been tremendously important over the last 20 years. Most courses for senior school students focus on the use of PROTOOLS, the industry standard for recording and editing music. The year 12 music students have undertaken study externally in the past but this month the boys will begin instruction under the guidance of recording engineer, Mr Duncan Campbell. Composing, recording and editing music are time consuming, requiring attention to detail as well as creative abilities. The skills learnt in a music tech course are very relevant to today’s society. From a teacher’s perspective, it is rewarding to listen to the compositions of these young men.

Orff instruments are wooden xylophones played with mallets. This year CBC purchased a full set of these instruments for both the Junior and Senior music rooms. They are made of rosewood, come from Germany and have a life expectancy of about 50 years – perfect for boys who can sometimes be a bit heavy-handed. Why do the boys enjoy playing these instruments? I believe they get satisfaction from playing in a large group, from the tactile experience of hitting the instrument, and from the repetitive and percussive nature of the repertoire. All four members of the music staff – Mr Roach, Ms Woehle, Ms Davies and Ms Louise will be utilising these new instruments in their classes.

Instrumental updatePlease note that there are still places available for instruction on flute, clarinet, saxophone, drums, piano, guitar and voice. There are seven weeks remaining in the term and interested parents should collect a form from the Finance department or the JC office. Tuition for the remainder of the term is $189 (7 weeks x $27). The music secretary, Mrs Vivien London, is available on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday if you have any questions regarding the program.

Vocal EnsembleRehearsals are underway for the upcoming Generations in Jazz Festival to be held in Mt Gambier in May. Under the direction of Mr Ben Gillard the boys are rehearsing some very complex Jazz pieces. Rehearsals are held on Tuesday after school from 3.30 to 5pm, and sectional rehearsals are on Thursday at lunchtime. To date the boys are on task but attendance at every rehearsal is important in the lead up to the Festival.

PARKING ZONESParking Zones around the school are put in place to ensure pedestrian safety. Children are in particular danger near schools because:

• Their small size makes it hard for drivers to see them between traffic, parked cars, stobie poles and other obstacles.

• They are easily distracted and may not be aware of traffic.

• They may suddenly run onto the road - eg to meet a parent.

Some road rules you particularly need to be aware of are:

• You must not stop in a NO STOPPING Zone, even for a few seconds to pick up your child.

• You may stop in a NO PARKING ZONE for a few seconds to pick up a child who is waiting nearby. You must not park or leave the vehicle.

• You must not double park, or stop in the line of traffic, to pick up or drop off a child.

• You must not stop within 20 metres before a crossing or 10 metres after a crossing.

• You must not stop within 10 metres of an intersection or junction without traffic lights.

If you have any enquiries regarding this information please contact Adelaide City Council on 8203 7203.

Adelaide City Council Parking and Information Officers and the Eastern Adelaide Police are aware of these issues and will monitor the situation and deal with breaches accordingly to ensure children’s safety, and infringements will be issued to any vehicles contravening these rules. Please be mindful of your own behaviour around schools, whether in relation to where you park or the respect shown to Officers trying to ensure pedestrian safety – you are our children’s greatest role model.

Assistant Principal - Junior Campus

Dearest Parents, Caregivers and Friends.

This week we celebrated coming together for our Missioning Mass. It was a significant event on our college calendar where we presented our College theme for 2012: ”Courage to discover, Challenge and Inspire.” It was during Friday’s Mass that our Junior Campus Student Representatives were also acknowledged and celebrated.

To serve and not count the costs is an idiom we try to instil into our CBC boys, and it is through living our gospel values and serving others that we truly become better people.

Edmund Everett Hale so wisely once wrote “I am only one but I am one. I cannot do everything but I can do something, and I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.”

I congratulate the following students on their nominations as Student Representatives.

CLIPSALAs mentioned in last week’s newsletter, the road works around our Junior Campus are becoming increasingly hectic; often this may cause our tempers to be frayed. However, I urge you to be patient and display caution as you drop off and/or pick up your son. You may need to factor in another 15 minutes or so to arrive safely and on time.

In the coming weeks our Junior Campus staff and students will move up to the Senior School whilst the Clipsal Race commences and throughout its duration. On Friday 24 February, the teachers will be asking your son to take home his books and stationery and bring them to the Senior Campus on Monday 27 February where we will assemble in the Western Courtyard of the Senior Campus. They will then be taken to their classroom for the next 8 days. Plans are well under way at the Senior Campus to ensure our boys’ safety and to accommodate our Junior Campus boys in classrooms during this time.

Whilst I certainly acknowledge this is a disruption to both the students, their families and staff, teachers continue to work tirelessly to ensure our students’ learning is not compromised. The students and staff will move back to the Junior Campus on Thursday March 8, 2012.

Many of our classes will be fortunate to take advantage of our city location and will incorporate many excursions to enhance their learning. Our Year 6 students will be partaking in our inaugural Canberra tour. Mr Were has put an enormous amount of time and planning to bring this camp to fruition and I thank him for his courage and leadership. I would also like to thank the Year 6 Parents for embracing this excursion. Your telephone calls and emails of support congratulating Mr Were, Ms Williams and Mrs Younie in their months of planning for this initiative has been very heartfelt. I would also like to thank the Commonwealth Government for their part in providing the Pacer Grant so it is affordable to most families. Visiting our National Capital is of pertinent importance and will be an inspiring culmination to the “Lives and Citizenship” unit of work that our Year 6

students are currently studying as part of the History/SOSE Curriculum.

REMINDERS• It is essential that all Family Particular Forms

and the Yellow MCEETYA Forms are returned by Monday February 20.

• chool Banking commences every Tuesday. For every student who opens a school banking account our Junior Campus receives $5.00 from the Commonwealth Bank.

• Parent/Friends Coffee mornings continue on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

• Student Assemblies are every Friday commencing at 11.20 and you are all very welcome to join us. These are held outside the Performing Arts centre and led by Each Year Level.

• Next week’s Assembly will be led by Year 4.

In each weekly newsletter I will advise you of which year level is chairing the assembly the following week. If you have any queries or concerns I encourage you to contact your son’s class teacher as the first point of contact via telephone or email. Should you seek further assistance, our Junior Campus Coordinator Mrs Buchanan or I will be available to you to discuss any issues you may still have.

Wishing you God’s Blessings for the week ahead.

8 INSIGHT

Dear Family and Friends

Jesus is very clear that he does want to cure, to bring healing. He does the unthinkable and touches the leper to bring healing to this man, who up till now, has been in miserable exile from the community. This is no passing encounter! It attracts to Jesus attention he does not want. And, according to the custom of the day, he, having been in contact with a leper, was no longer welcome in the community. To bring healing and freedom for the leper to come back into our society, Jesus loses much of his freedom. Eventually, Jesus’ work of healing, costs him life... yet all the way, he keeps saying, “I do want to heal you.”

In today’s world, if we choose to heal and free the lepers of our society it doesn’t cost our life but some time and opportunity to acknowledge the importance of being compassionate to the marginalised and disadvantaged.

This week’s Gospel reminds me of the response our community might have to the issue of people seeking asylum in our country. I am reminded of the second verse of our national anthem.... ‘boundless plains to share...’ If we choose to sing the national anthem in keeping with the message of bringing healing and freedom to others, we need to be reminded our land that is girt by sea has boundless plains to share and we are called to live the gospel by treating those people seeking asylum from a world of violence with respect and dignity.

Additionally, this week as we remember the anniversary of the Stolen Generation Apology Statement made a few years ago by Kevin Rudd, healing and freedom is a constant journey our Indigenous Australians face.

The destination of our lives is not the important thing but the journey we have each day.

Being compassionate for each other is a challenge of the gospel this week.

GOSPEL CHALLENGE – COMPASSION

We come as a guest – we are deeply present. From presence flows the natural fruit - compassion. Compassion is an expansion of the heart beyond I and IT to thou. Compassion is heart for.... Compassion is heart with!

Isaiah 42:6-7 ... To open the eyes of the blind, to free the captives from prison, and those who live in darkness from the dungeon!

Micah 7:14 With Shepherd’s crook lead you people to pasture.

Jesus calls us to be compassionate to one another.

How we you show compassion to each other this week?

SACRAMENTAL PROGRAM FOR 2012Thank you to those parents who have expressed a desire for their son to participate in the Sacramental Programme for 2012.

Pembroke 8 defeated CBC 5

The final score doesn’t reflect how close the morning’s games were. Five of the 13 games went to 3 sets. Pembroke’s coach said he’d never seen so many close scoring 3-setters in one morning. Hung Tran, Isaac Size won their singles. Vincent Nguyen, Nicholas Bini, Phillip Nguyen made their opponents work extra hard by taking their singles matches to 3 sets. Simon Nardecchia played a 9th singles as Pembroke had an extra player on the day. Simon won in 2 sets. CBC had 2 wins in the doubles; the partnerships were Nhan Nguyen and Kevin Le, Hung Tran and Nathan Ha. Other players this weekend were: Phillip Nguyen, Sang Nghiem. Well played everyone!

Year 7 Gold Basketball team played their first game of the year this week. We would like to welcome new students Theo Antonion and Thomas Mackay who joined the team. It was a great effort by everyone. Congratulations to all players on their fine sportsmanship and a great team effort. A special mention goes to Jordan Heatley who was playing his first game of basketball and scored two goals for the team. A great start to the year.

Thank you to the parents who were present who helped out and cheered the team on. Thanks also to Gian Ciabattoni in Year 11, who coached the team from the sidelines.

Everyone made a great effort!

CBC Rowers attend Murray Bridge Annual Regatta during their 4 day Term 1 Rowing Camp Some 35 CBC Rowers from Years 8, 9, 10, 11+12 attended our annual Term 1 Rowing Camp, again corresponding with the Annual Murray Bridge regatta. All 35 students at the camp competed in the regatta with varying levels of success.

First up at the regatta were our Year 8+9 boys in Schoolboys Year 8/9 A, B and C quads. The ‘A’ crew of L. Barry, J. Clark, M. Cleggett, C. Lupinacci and coxswain E. Meredith finishing third in their race. The ‘B’ crew of J. Kakogianis, J. Arganese, B. Reisinger, J. Dalle Nogare and coxswain D. Callisto finished fourth. The ‘C’ crew of B. Dimopoulos, J. Hogden, D. Callisto, J. Dedonatis and coxswain D. Larizza finished fourth. These crews then raced later in the day in the 3rd Grade men’s quad. The ‘B’ crew finished fifth, the “A’ crew fifth and the ‘C’ crew sixth. Although still lacking training time together this was a great effort. A special mention goes to Joel Dedonatis and Daniel Larizza who were competing in their first regatta.

Next were our Year 10 boys in Schoolboy Year 9/10 A+B quads. The ‘A’ crew of T. Riley, T. James, D. Reidy, J. Rutai and coxswain J. Dedonatis finished fourth. The ‘B’ crew of S. Kakogianis, L. Rigon, C. Meyer, S. Wilson and coxswain T. Riley finished fifth. These crews then raced later in the day in the 3rd Grade men’s quad. The ‘A’ crew finished a close second and the ‘B’ crew came fourth.

To give some added experience to the Year 10 boys, Taylor Riley and Joseph Dedonatis combined towards the day’s end in 3rd Grade Men’s Double Scull to come a close second. These two will race off again in Under 17 Double Sculls in this coming week’s First Grade Championship Regatta.

The first of the Senior Boys crews then raced with our Schoolboy First Four of A. Gatsios, J. McWilliams, L. McGee, P. Rocconi and coxswain D. Reidy finishing fourth. Again, as with most of our senior boys’ crews, they then fronted up in 3rd Grade Men’s Coxed Fours, finishing a solid fifth.

To gain some extra racing Joseph McWilliams and Philip Rocconi combined in 3rd Grade Men’s Double scull. In their division they were early leaders and looked for all to be the eventual winners. But a series of pushes in the final stages of the race by the Mannum Masters Double pushed the CBC boys into second place.

In an effort to give the CBC First Eight a better race this week, the coaches ‘capped’ the crews rating. Although not giving them a higher placing in the race than fifth, it did give the crew a better row. The boys then defended their title from last year in the Three Mile Eight Race. This year sporting some 24 crews, the handicapping was a little off the mark to say the least. Finishing up in the placings, they were unable to pull in the massive 4 minute head start the officials had given some of the masters’ crews. Good things were to come from the race with the crew having a good solid row against their rivals continuing with their technical race plan throughout the race.

To gain the extra racing, the boys then split into two fours to compete in 3rd Grade Men’s Coxed Fours. Both crews produced a hard fought race with neither crew breaking away in the early stages. However the stern four of S. Crosato, A. Gaggini, L. Burke and J. Manton were finally successful by the very small two second margin.

First XI Cricket40 Over match played at CBC Main Oval.

Rostrevor College 2/97 defeated CBC 94 all out

With overnight rain freshening up the pitch, the toss was very important and we lost it. Sent in to bat on a sponge, we fell victim to the conditions with the whole team bar one out caught. None of the top 5 made double figures and we were in a spin at 5/36. Luke Yates came to the crease hungry for runs and didn’t disappoint, posting a 21 run partnership with Nathan Byrnes and then 25 with Lachlan Harrison. Afternoon tea was a highlight with the boys getting through over a hundred party pies and sausage rolls along with beautiful pastries, sandwiches and fruit provided by the CBC parents. Mrs Harrison baked a chocolate cake but Mr Harrison took his eye off the ball and was left with a plate of crumbs. The boys thoroughly enjoyed it! Meanwhile, the sun was shining brightly and curing the pitch by the minute so by the time we had a bowl it was fairly benign. Our boys all bowled accurately, especially Andrew D’Amico, but we didn’t have anywhere near enough runs to defend and we were routed in the 25th over.

Best with Bat: L Yates 30, L Harrison 14.

Best with Ball: A D’Amico 1/13, R Nhill 1/22.

Year 8B CricketCBC 8 for 112 defeated Blackfriars all out 98

We have a new look team this year with several boys making their debut for CBC. It was great to see how they quickly worked in with the established lads from previous years and a good team spirit emerged during the game.

Daniel Houston called correctly on the toss and elected to bat first. Generally our batting effort was good; however, we probably left quite a few runs out there by not running between wickets aggressively enough. Top scorers were Daniel Houston with 22 no and Jordan Sennett-Perez on 19 no, who opened the innings were both retired and came back at the end of the innings to finish off the batting strongly. Josh Gregorace also batted very well for 15.

Blackfriars took up the run chase with enthusiasm, but we bowled and fielded with a lot of heart. Firstly we took 6 good catches -- as the old saying goes, catches win matches. Wicket-takers were Jordan Sennett-Perez with 4, including 3 in one over (on a hat trick), single wickets to Harry Isherwood, Josh Gregorace, Dominic Porcell, Callum Moore, Jayden Coll-Baker and a good run-out. Special mention to Ambrose Ronson who bowled 3 overs of some very impressive leg spin, Agostino Pepe who worked tirelessly in the field and did his best with the ball and Callum Moore who kept very tidily for half our overs.

Drive TennisCBC 5 defeated Unley High 4

A great win this week against a very strong opposition. Unlike last week when our top 3 players scored convincing singles wins, this time we relied on our 4, 5, and 6 players who got the job done for us.

Jack Quinn redeemed himself with a great singles win and a doubles win pairing up with Jack Owens. If he can get his serve working he will win more matches this season.

Kyle Gaweda played beautiful, consistent, intelligent tennis to win 6-0! Congratulations Kyle. Smart players don’t have to hit the cover off the ball!

In his doubles he paired up with Bradley and again the same scoreline...6-0!

Bradley Graham, in his first hit-out for the year, was too solid and consistent for his opponent and his win sealed the sets win as the last match of the morning.

Our top seeds, George Wong, Ryan Coetzer and Jack Owens, must come up against the best every week and must remain confident in their ability, even after such losses. On their day, they can beat anyone!

CBC 7 sets (56 games) defeated Pulteney 5 sets (45 games)

Our first games for 2012 saw our boys triumph over Pulteney! Overall a brilliant effort was made by all. In the singles, Harrison Rogers played some excellent tennis to post a 6-0 victory over his opponent. Phi Nguyen also had a brilliant victory of 6-1, and Joel Nolan played a brilliant singles set with a 6-2 victory. Raisy Lopez had a comfortable win 6-3 and Michael Petrilli also notching up a win of 6-4. Eric Caluya, Dion Bruno and Anthony Keszler didn’t go down without a fight, all three falling short of a win (better luck next week lads!). In the doubles we drew overall, two wins apiece. Overall a great start to 2012 tennis, let’s keep the consistency team spirit alive! Well done boys!

Volleyball Open BSt Paul’s College 3 defeated CBC 0

The 2012 Volleyball season began on Friday for the Open B team with a rematch of our final game of last season as CBC took on St Paul’s away.

Taking to the court for the opening game of the season were Chris Binyon, Jack Quinn, Sam Warren, Matej Bacic, Thomas Melios-Traver and Liam Wyktin. CBC got off to a slow start having to adjust to the short courts when serving, but won multiple successive points which prompted St Paul’s to call a strategic Time-out. Several rallies later CBC narrowly lost the first set 23 to 25.

The second set was almost identical to the first although our blocking at the net was outstanding. The highlight for the match was Sam Warren winning a point by blocking a spike at the net – it was an exciting moment for the entire team. Despite CBC calling a strategic time out during the set, St Paul’s ended up taking the set 25 to 21.

The final set was played even though St Paul’s had already won the game. This allowed for some creative moves from both teams. The team should be extremely proud of the way they played and I am sure we will have success as we build on the previous 2 seasons as a team.

Miss Krystle HelpsCoach

C2 Volleyball CBC vs St Peter’s

Braden Dwyer, Nick Mc Connell, Nick Parella, Lachy Starr and Luke Yates were joined by middle-schoolers Nathan Koulisos, David Hayden-Potts, Ambrose Watson and Phong Vo in our game against St Peter’s.

The team got off to an impressive start, winning the first set 25-21. This week, Luke was captain and organised the team with the help of Nick McConnell, who did a good job of integrating the new and younger team members. Everyone co-operated well and although the opposition seemed larger and older, CBC was not intimidated and demonstrated a

range of impressive plays with reliable serves and plenty of confidence in extended rallies. Unfortunately the next two games were lost as SPSC’s height, power and teamwork gave them an edge. A few lapses in concentration by some of our team could not be made up for, despite individual displays of athleticism and determination. Best and most consistent were Braden, Nathan and Phong, but all players showed promise and should develop into a successful playing group. All boys showed sportsmanship, courtesy and consideration.

Year 8/9 VolleyballFriday 10 February 2012

Blackfriars 3 defeated CBC 0

The Volleyball team started the new sporting year with almost a complete new team. Numbers swelled to 17 (!) players rather than the required 6. Due to this, the majority of the more experienced players went to St Peter’s to bolster the numbers of the open ‘C’ team. Left with 12 players, the team rotated to give every player a chance to contribute.

Upon entering Blackfriars we were immediately struck by the height of our opponents. They were all Year 9 and obviously experienced volleyball players. Our boys valiantly fought to get points on the scoreboard, but the scores of 25 to 13, 25 to 7 and 25 to 22 in the final set really reflected the difference in the skill level and experience between the teams.

What was encouraging for our boys was the improved score, performance and teamwork in the final set. Bring on next week!

   9nd February 2012   Dear Parent(s) Guardian, 

2012 SACRAMENTAL PROGRAM  

Has your son received the Catholic Sacramental of Initiation?  As you may be aware over the past few years there have been some changes to the Catholic Sacramental Program for Children.  In the majority of cases, students are no longer prepared by the school, but instead return to their local Parish to receive the Sacramental of Reconciliation, Confirmation, and Eucharist.  Students are normally in year 4 when this occurs.  This model has been adopted in the Archdiocese of Adelaide as it captures the community model of Sacramentality and the ancients practice that as a Parish community we both welcome and support members of our Church.  However, we are mindful of the fact that for various reasons some children are ‘missed’ through this model and do not receive all the Catholic sacraments of Initiation.  In recognition of this, CBC in conjunction with the Adelaide Cathedral Catholic Parish, our College Sacramental Coordinator, Sr Kanistal and Junior School REC, Bruce were, will be offering a Sacramental Program to any student, above the age of 9 years, who has not received either, Reconciliation, Confirmation or Eucharist.  If you would like your child to participate in the Sacramental program please fill in the attached form and return it to your son’s Pastoral Care teacher by 26th February 2012. Students will receive the Sacraments later in the year at ceremonies held at the Adelaide Catholic Cathedral, Wakefield Street.  In some cases, if appropriate and after discussion, reception of the sacraments may take place in another Parish if you have specific links to that Parish.  Classes will begin later in Term 1 for students and after school parents meetings will occur in Term 2. Please feel free to contact the College should you have any queries.  Yours sincerely,      Sr Kanistal Soosai                      Bruce Were        Rory Harris Sacramental Coordinator        Junior School REC                          RE Co‐ordinator     Pastoral Associate
