Today’s boys...tomorrow’s gentlemen

CBC Fremantle Newsletter | Week 6 Term 3

From the PrincipalThis week the College will call for Trial

Prefect nominations from the Year 11

cohort. CBC Fremantle has developed

a wonderful model for the selection

of Prefects, which is not based around

popularity or ability, but on a set of

criteria. It has served the College well in

previous years, and I believe will continue

to do so in the future.

Last year, it was a determination that the

focus of Prefect selection be a little more

forward-looking, in other words, gaining a

Prefect’s badge was not akin to reaching

the summit, but more like getting to

base camp. Anyone who has experienced

genuine leadership will know that the real

work started on the day they became a

leader, and that life as a leader is rarely

spent basking in the sunshine of

past deeds.

During this year, you will have been fed

small pieces of what we call the ‘journey

document’. This is a document developed

by the College that focuses on the explicit

product the College aims to achieve in

partnership with the boy and his family.

The importance of this document is that

it always keeps one eye on the finished

product, the young man who walks across

the stage at graduation. Some of our boys

leave before this time, and it is hoped

that they continue their personal journey

at their workplace, at TAFE or in further

training. However, the majority of our

boys leave us when they are into their

18th year and on the cusp of adulthood.

CBC Fremantle Newsletter | Week 6 Term 3

It is this young man, this gentleman, who

needs to guide all our decision-making,

and our processes, so that no boy is ever

cut loose before he reaches that bloom.

On very few occasions the goal is not

shared, and it is in these moments that

we are most tested, but the majority of

times, when College, student and family

sing from the same song-sheet, success

is inevitable.

The CBC gentleman, who forms attitudes

and actions based on Gospel values; who

gives of his best; who is accountable

and resilient; who is selfless and values

relationships; and who really finds out

about himself when he is tested by the

thoughts and actions of others that are

foreign to him, that CBC gentleman is a

work in progress. The mark of success

is how he finishes at the College … his

legacy. The first four to five years are

the preliminaries, where mistakes can

be made, lessons can be learned, and

forgiveness sought.

A few years ago, our College Vice-Captain

spoke these words at his graduation:

“I spent the first few years trying to be

proud of my College, and the last two

trying to make the College proud of

me.” They were inspiring words then,

and remain so today. My message this

week to all boys in Year 11, and their

parents, is that redemption is at the core

of our faith, and if you are at the point

in your journey where you are ready to

make the College proud of you, please

nominate for Trial Prefect. The course is

about six weeks long, and will focus on

commitment, serving others and personal

growth. If you think that a couple of bad

choices in the past deal you out, have

a chat with your Head of House, but

regardless of whether you are a Prefect in

2015 or not, all Year 11 boys will be the

senior students in five weeks’ time, and

the expectation placed on them will rise.

I’m sure they will not be found wanting.

CBC surf team head for national titlesCBC Fremantle students Alex McGuffin and Tom Corrie surfed almost perfect conditions to win the Junior Boys’ surfing division of

the 2014 WA School Surfing Titles at Trigg Beach last Friday.

Big waves and a light breeze produced some solid surfing for the Year 9 duo, who will now go on to represent Western Australia at

the Australian Junior Surfing Titles to be held in Yallingup in December.

The boys early morning training sessions paid off with Alex’s powerful forehand and backhand surfing and Tom’s skilled turns

pushing the team total ahead of their closest rival, Newman College.

WA’s best school surfing talent competed in the prestigious event, involving 26 regional and metropolitan high schools, with more

than 130 competitors and 60 teams of surfers and bodyboarders showing off their skills on the waves.

This is the first time CBC has reached the finals, and the boys are excited to be making history for their school.
