Principal’s Edmund Rice Birthday AddressI begin by acknowledging the traditional custodians of this land the Kaurna people past, present and future and also acknowledge the presence of our Christian Brothers gathered in the CBC gym, South Australia and across the globe.

Today we celebrate the 250th birthday of our College founder Blessed Edmund Rice. What is so remarkable about Blessed Edmund Rice is that he was quite unremarkable. Edmund was ordinary and wefindGodinthatordinariness.

Blessed Edmund was ordinary

• He experienced his fair share of disappointments in life.

• He was at times frustrated, lonely and let down by his friends and his Church.

• At times he felt like giving up -- he lost his vision; he questioned his faith.

Blessed Edmund looked out of his window into the ordinary world and saw those around him who were suffering. His response was motivated by the Gospel:

Then the King will say to those who are at his right side, “Come! My Father has blessed you. The kingdom was made ready for you when the world was first made. Come into it now. I was hungry. You gave me food. I was thirsty. You gave me a drink. I was a stranger. You took me in. I needed clothes. You gave me clothes. I was sick. You came to visit me. I was in prison. You came to see me.” `Then the King will answer them, “I tell you the truth. What you did not do for even the smallest of these, you did not do for me.” Matthew 34-45

And so Blessed Edmund in an extraordinary manner not only educated children; he fed and clothed them. He gave them food, dignity and hope.

What will we see if we look out of our metaphoric window?

Look beside you. Will you see a fellow student who is lonely, bullied, hungry or suffering?

Look beyond CBC. What will you see?

Last Saturday returning to my car after seeing the First XVIII team at the football I passed the Salvation Army premises just as they were serving their evening meal to the homeless. I expected to see elderly homeless men and women. I was shocked to see teenagers, young families and two young girls around 10 years of age. One of the girls excitedly said to her mum: “They are giving us chicken tonight!” I thought back to my own two children who complain when my wife and I serve them chicken and they say “I don’t want it or I don’t like it.”

For this one frozen moment in time I felt ashamed that I am not doing enough to help those who are hungry and live in poverty only two streets away from CBC. But then I look out across this gym and see CBC students and staff who are so generous in their gifts to the poor and marginalised. I see men and women who give lovingly at Christian Service Learning or to the Vietnam and Philippines pilgrimages. I see those who donate blankets and food to the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal or help with Easter and Christmas hampers. Blessed Edmund would be proud of you.

Blessed Edmund was like you -- a man of action and deep love. He saw the poor, the alcoholic, the outcasts and he looked beyond their ordinariness to the God within.

Edmund modelled his life on Jesus who was himself both ordinary and extraordinary.

Jesus had no real home, for like the place of his birth, he preferred the wild places. Jesus’ temples were the gardens, the mountains, the shore of the sea, and the wilderness. To Jesus, whenever two or three were gathered with him, then that was his Church, his temple. Jesus’ clothing was simple, he carried no supplies, and he let the Creator and Nature take care of his every need. Jesus’ teachings were simple, yet they were profound truth. To him there were no customs, traditions, or ceremonies to imprison him. Nor did he pass down in his teachings much in the way of ceremony. Instead, what he taught and worshipped was simple.

(Source: http://www.survival.org.au/jesus.php)

Blessed Edmund inspired by Jesus changed His world with love and simplicity and we are called to do the same.

As students, staff, Brothers, family and community members of CBC we are called to love one another totally and simply.

I reiterate my previous comment that today in front of me I see our staff and students who are ordinary; but my God how extraordinary you are as well.

I challenge you, just as I challenge myself daily, to look outside the window and look for those who are lonely , hungry, angry, unloved or in need.

Only then will our celebration of the 250th birthday of Bless Edmund be not just another birthday party but a gift to the world.

Will God Forgive Me?We know God is a loving God but still we wonder will God forgive me? Recall the Parables of Jesus such astheProdigalSon(Luke15:11-32)theLostCoin(Luke 15: 6-7) and the Good Shepherd, to realise he will forgive me. “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheepuntilhefindsit?”(Luke15:4)CanGodforgivesome one who hates the Church and tries to kill Christians? Can God forgive someone who has sex with another man’s wife and then orders the husband killed to cover up? The Bible is brutally honest about the faults of God’s servants. Saul, whom we know as Paul, was involved in martyring Christians. God not only forgave Paul but also used him to write much of the new Testament. King David committed adultery with Uriah’s wife, Bethsheba, and had Uriah killed to cover it up. Yet God led David to heartfelt repentance and later called him a man after his own heart. (Acts13:22)Godinhisinfinitemercycompletelyforgave Saul and David as he will completely forgive me. “As far as the east is from the west, so far has heremovedoursinsfromus.”(Psalm103:12)

Sleep and BehaviourSleep is a physiological need for all human beings. As a parent you would have witnessed the changing sleep pattern of your son throughout his life. Whoever coined the term ‘sleeping like a baby’ had obviously never lived with one. As we know infants’ sleep patterns are notoriously erratic, and as they grow up the story remains much the same. Pre-schoolers kick up about napping during the day, school-aged children want to stay up late at night and teenagers refuse to get out of bed in the morning.

One thing remains the same -- sleep is critically important for children. Yet Australians are getting about half-an-hourlesssleeppernightthantheydid30yearsago according to a study by the University of South Australia’s Centre for Sleep Research. Children are going to bed later because it’s now the norm for both parents to work full-time, meaning that evenings are often the only opportunity for family time. In addition, the intrusion into bedrooms of digital media such as mobile phones, laptops and iPods means children are getting lessshut-eye–withfar-reachingconsequences.

“With disturbed sleep, you pretty well see changes in everything, from the cardiovascular system through to the skin,” says Dr Kurt Lushington, head of the University of South Australia’s Centre for Sleep Research. “You can go without food for a week or so but you cannot go without sleep.” As Dr Lushington says, sleep is important for memory, “so if you want torememberthingsandtoforgetthings–whichareequallyimportant–youhavetosleep”.

“We also know from animal studies that sleep state seems to be incredibly important for the optimal wiring up of the brain,” he says. “In infants and kids, sleep plays an important role in the optimal development of the brain. Sleep is also important for growth, and for those who don’t get enough there is a failure to thrive. Sleep plays an important role in the immune system and it also anchors the circadian body clock system.” Most parents realise the importance of sleep”, Dr Lushington says. However, “what many don’t appreciate is how important structure, namely a routine, really is.”

“Our research shows that in terms of students being able to cope with school and life and not having any problematic behaviours, it’s not so much how long theysleep–what’simportantisaregularschedule,”he says. “Students who go to bed at different times and wake up at different times with big swings on weekdayscomparedtoweekends–thosearethechildren who tend to get into trouble. Sober habits are very important.”

Thereisnosuchthingasasleepbank–meaningthateven if a child had 12 hours sleep last night, they won’t get away with just eight hours tonight. Parents need to stick to a routine, make evenings as predictable as possible, and enforce hard-and-fast rules, particularly for teenagers, about digital media in the bedroom.

“The teen years are a period of life where it’s to be expected that you will hand over control to them; learning their own limits is part of the journey,” says Dr Lushington. “And, being young and healthy, they cansometimesstayupallnightandbefinethenextday. What you can do is help them see the connection betweenhowthey’resleeping–andhowtheyfeelduring the day.”

Asparentsitcanbedifficulttomonitoryoursonwhenhe is in his bedroom and has access to the social network world through computers, mobile phones and other communicative devices. However, it is important that parents observe the behaviour of their sons to be aware if they are suffering sleep deprivation. It is recommendedthatchildren2–5yearsofagehave11to12hourssleep,6–12yearsofagehave9to11 hours of sleep and teenagers have 8 to 10 hours. To ensure your son gets the optimum amount of sleep, Dr Kurt Lushington, head of the University of South Australia’s Centre for Sleep Research offers the following guidelines:

• On the weekends, don’t let kids stay up more than an hour or two later than they normally do, and don’t let them sleep in more than an hour or two later than normal.

• Give them time to unwind before they turn out the lights and don’t let them fall asleep in front of the TV.Therehastobearoutineforfallingasleep–otherwise what happens is that unless the light or the TV is on, students can’t fall asleep.

• Exercise, big meals and hot baths are not a good idea directly before they go to bed.

• Keep track of how they are during the day. If they look like they’re not coping or if they’re irritable, it might be that they need more sleep.

• Monitor the use of digital media to ensure they are not playing games or communicating with others throughout the night.

“Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.”

Br Walsh arrived in Adelaide to take up the role of Headmasterin1940.Whenhearrivedhefoundthatthe previous headmaster’s requests to re instate the senior classes had been denied and that commercial classes were to be taught at night school. The classes were only taught for a few years but they were very successfulwithforty-twostudentsthefirstyearandsixty-fiveinthesecond.

Friends of Music – Would you like to be involved?This parent group assists the music department in a multitude of ways, including fund raising activities and support at performance functions. Members meet four times a year in the CBC boardroom and the meetings are of 90 minutes duration on a Tuesday evening. The finalmeetingoftheyearisa‘thankyou’dinner.

The members of the Friends of Music comprise staff, students, old scholars, parents of old scholars and parents of boys enrolled in the college. It is a diverse group and the meetings bring together people who are passionate about the Arts, and music in particular.

If you would like to be involved as a member or as an officer(treasurer,secretary,president)pleasecontactthe music department in either the Junior School or the Senior School.

Australian Music Examination Board – theory and practical examsThank you to parents of boys in Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 for support with the AMEB theory exams. Over the next two months 50 boys will sit the online exam which is a very vigorous academic test. In addition there are a growing number of CBC boys who are entering the AMEB practical examinations. This week Year 11 student Marcus Barricelli passed his 5th grade vocal exam with a Distinction, a very impressive endeavour. His repertoire included “Gia’ il sole dal Gange” composed by Alessandro Scarlatti, “Ain’t no Sunshine” by Bill Withers, and “Superstition”. Marcus is taught by Ms Stella Pianazzo.

Instrumental ProgramThis week instrumental staff submitted reports for proofreading. These reports will be sent home with the academic reports at the end of the semester. They will alsobeattachedtoyourson’sSCOLARISfileintheSeniorSchool.PleasenotethatfeesforTerm3aredue on or before Monday 30 July.

Music Captain’s BoardThanks to the generosity of the Richter, Squire and norris families, the music department has purchased a board to display the names of the music captains and vice-captains. This board is to be located in the Brothers House where the Senior School music classes are held.

The music captains at CBC are extremely busy boys. Rarely a week goes by without the drum kit, piano, PA and assorted guitars making the journey over to the gym for a performance. The boys wheeling the trolleys are always the music captains. As well as helping with equipment set-up, these boys perform with panache, energy and enthusiasm and are always excellent role models for the younger members of the music department. The music staff would like to acknowledge Harrison Visintin, Marcus Barricelli and Jordan Lennon, for their dedication to the music program at CBC.

The Paul McGuire Library A Time to ReflectNext week we celebrate out annual arts festival with Paul McGuire Week. Given that the senior school library is named after Paul McGuire, esteemed old scholar, writer and foreign diplomat, it is time to reflect on our library and what it means to staff and students of CBC.

Last week it was reported in the media that some schools have discarded print books and moved completely into electronic resources. This is a very brave move indeed, and somewhat of a conundrum to me, given that there is much research evidence from the United States, Canada, Britain and Australia that students attain higher levels of achievement when they have access to an adequately resourced school library with a qualified teacher librarian. The senior library is a hugely popular place, with the library having excellent aesthetic value in terms of comfortable chairs, changing displays that highlight various events, and a constant supply of new books and magazines.

There is no doubt, however, that school libraries are changing, reflecting our world and our values. To remain relevant libraries need to constantly review their staff, services and collections. Our library’s mission is to create a place that is integral to the boys learning, offering the latest

in digital resources as well as everything that is good about a traditional library, and definitely a place to be enjoyed by all.

It is important to embrace the digital technologies available, and there is an amazing

array of digital tools that students can use to enhance learning, but there is still a place for quality print resources as well, which is currently supported by student borrowing statistics at CBC.

On Monday 4 June, 7 Purple went down to the Adelaide Museum to see the dinosaur & fossil display.The first room had a large display featuring loads of opalised sea dinosaur fossils and a very large aminite shell about as big as a washing machine!The second room had dinosaur bone molds in glass cases and a discovery pit where you had to uncover dinosaur bones in a sand box. It was pretty cool and everyone was crowded around trying to see what they could dig up. The third room was Ms Long’s favourite because it had part of a fossilised seabed with actual imprints of billion-year-old Dickinsonia. On the way out Ms Long and Ms Woehle let us walk through the rocks and minerals section and some of the things displayed in the glass cabinets were amazing! I especially liked the glow-in-the-dark rocks. They were awesome!This is the second time 7 Purple has walked down to the museum and it’s great fun. Thanks a lot Ms Long and Ms Woehle.William Bowering7 Purple

Year 9 News

Year 9 Class of the Month – MayThe winning class is Mr Wheatley-Dawson’s Year 9 Blue. They came up with the innovative idea of sorting out the charger cables on the laptop cabinets, which was adopted by the other classes in Year 9. Also, they went to some trouble to decorate their class (the teacher helped with his own art work), particularly the back wall. Well done and congratulations.

Timely reminders for Year 9 studentsThe majority of the Year 9 students are to be congratulated on their positive portrayal of this year level. I urge students to continue to adhere to the school rules regarding their deportment, care of others and in upholding the excellent reputation of the College.

I wish to reiterate the uniform standards we expect in terms of ties done up, shirts tucked in, blazers worn to and from school and correct shoes. Behaviour in class and respect for teachers and your peers must be one of your highest priorities as well.

I am so pleased to see Pastoral Care teachers checking your diaries on a regular basis and commend the students and parents who have taken this on board.

The issue of haircuts/styles for Year 9 and, indeed, for the entire CBC student population, is also clear, as outlined in the policy statement in the diary.

I also wish to remind students who travel by public transport that courtesy to the public is an expectation that the College takes for granted. We have received some excellent commendations from the public for your behaviour in the main, but unfortunately some are not so favourable.

Many students go through the city to get to school and to go home. I remind these students to exercise a great degree of responsibility in not congregating at public venues while in transit or to engage in any behaviour which could bring disrepute to the College.

Your uniform is associated with a great school. Be proud of it but, most importantly, actively proclaim it. Being one of 1200 students does not excuse you from blending in with the crowd. I believe that everyone can make a difference and guess what gentlemen -- it starts with you!

Here is the constant challenge: How can I personally make a difference in myself, my peers, my family, my College and society as Edmund Rice did?

Year 9 students at the Defence Force ChallengeOn the 25th of May, Year 9 SOSE teachers nominated ten students who were invited to attend the Defence 2020 Youth Challenge at Innovation House, Technology Park, Mawson Lakes. The day was focused on educating the attendees about the modern-day Australian Defence Force and how they play a role in establishing Australia’s national identity.

At the start of the day, we arrived at the Innovation House at Technology Park and were welcomed by an Australian Defence Force (ADF) member who kindly took a photo of our school members to post on the Defence 2020 website. Next, we were directed into the Board Room and were introduced to the main coordinators of the day who discussed with us the events of the day and sang a small song to start the day. We were all then

given a Resource Book which gave us the outline of the day. Next, we watched an interactive video titled, ‘Can You Find the Spirit of ANZAC?’ Throughout this video the audience was forced to make decisions which changed how the story progressed. For every right choice you made, you earnt points, and you lost points for every wrong choice you made. Those who ended up with at least twelve points by the end of the video received a Defence 2020 cap. Next, before morning tea, the members of the ADF, from the Navy, Army and Air Force, informed us about their roles in the ADF and we were urged to ask questions regarding their involvement in the Australian Defence Force.

Morning tea came next, and all of us were delighted to see the amazing selection of food offered to us attendees. All of us agree that a lot of work must have gone into creating those delicious treats. Afterwards we went back into the Board Room and watched a film titled ‘Our Diggers, Then and Now’. This video discussed how the ADF has helped shape Australia’s national identity and gave some valuable insights into how the ADF assisted not only Australia, but other countries in need. Next, we were told, to our surprise, that all of us were going to be split up into different groups, each given a task to complete. Each group had around twelve people, one person from each school, with the occasional group having two. We were briefly assisted by one teacher and one ADF member, who told that we were doing a role play on one of five topics. Those topics ranged from ‘Does ANZAC have to do with Australian national identity?’, ‘What does the ADF do? What does this have to do with national identity?’, ‘What does the ADF and international citizenship have to do with national identity?’, ‘What does the ADF and national citizenship have to do with national identity?’ and ‘What does the ADF and indigenous Australians have to do with national identity?’ Each group had one hour to design and practise their performance and then head out into the foyer for lunch.

Lunch, just like Morning Tea, did not disappoint. The tables were lined with delicious foods, all of which looked spectacular. Our school sat together at lunch and we were greeted by an army Sergeant with whom we conversed during Lunch. We asked him questions about his role in the ADF, what he used to do as an active soldier and now in the army reserves.

We were then escorted back to the boardroom, where the prepared role plays took place. Many were nervous and hesitant; however, we persevered and created funny yet informative pieces that illustrated the role of the ADF in our own and other countries. All plays were concluded by gracious applause from the audience.

The day concluded with a survey on how the day went and, after goodbyes and after receiving ADF gift bags, we hurried on the bus and went back to Christian Brothers College.

All those who attended were happy with the day’s information, humour and enjoyment which encouraged all of us to respect the people in the Australian Defence Force.

250th anniVerSarY dinner

12 INSIGHT

On Friday 25 May, our SOSE class, 8 Black, went on a terrific excursion to Urban Ecology Australia, taking part in a guided tour called Christies walk. It was a quick 20 minute walk in the rain with Mrs Long, Mr Alex Ly, and Mrs Zwolski. When we arrived there were tour guides that took us around the grounds of this eco-friendly habitat, right in the heart of Adelaide’s CBD! First we went into a house made out of straw ( just like the three little pigs); it was economical because it didn’t use a lot of the world’s resources. They also had many solar panels on their roofs and some solar panels were used for the hot water units or other services. The houses were very evaporative because the floor was made out of concrete so it took in the heat, so there is no need for a heater. We thought this was extremely cool because it doesn’t take up the earth’s resources.

As the tour went on we went to see their little vegetable garden and compost system; we found out there are hundreds of ways to save resources and all you have to do is get a compost bin. Next we saw the bricks they use to build the houses and they aren’t your usual bricks that you use on your normal house -- these bricks are made out of Styrofoam -- it was pretty cool.

But, towards the end of the tour we saw the coolest thing of all! We went up to their rooftop garden where there were lots of cool plants, as well as an awesome view of the CBD and its surrounds. Our tour guide showed us what an architect wants to do with Adelaide, wanting to make a lot of rooftop gardens everywhere! Our class wants that to happen too because then we could have more space to grow our plants and live a more eco-friendly existence -- just like the tribes in the Amazon Rainforest we have been researching in SOSE.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

As we gathered last Friday as a college to celebrate Blessed Edmund Rice’s 250th Birthday and our beautiful Receptions sang Happy Birthday to Blessed Edmund, I couldnothelpbutreflectuponhowspecialthisliturgywas and how the spirit of Blessed Edmund has touched, inspired and shaped so many lives. As I looked into the eyesofthesefive-year-olds,IwonderedhowBlessedEdmund’s spirit would touch their soul and transform their lives. How they would share their gifts and make a difference in our world. I felt deeply moved, that one man’s vision, driven through a love of humanity and a fiercesenseofjustice,couldlivebeyondhislifetime,liberating generation after generation through his commitment to education.

IalsoreflecteduponhowmuchIvaluedourrelationshipwith Father Kevin Hennessy cp, Brother Patrick Cronin cfc and Brother Michael Flaherty cfc, and how Blessed Edmund had touched their lives as young men and through our relationship with these men of faith, wecontinuetobecentred,affirmed,strengthened,challenged and developed in our own faith. Inspiring us as a college to live out Blessed Edmund’s vision of a liberating education where the values of FAITH, EXCELLEnCE, COMMUnITY AnD COMPASSIOn are foundational to who we are and what we continue to aspire to be.

I would also like to take this opportunity to publicly thank the Parents and Friends Committee for their energy, commitment and organisation of “The Blessed Edmund Rice Dinner”. Through the leadership of this committee the community was provided with a wonderful opportunity to gather in the spirit of Blessed Edmund to celebrate his 250th Birthday. There is always something special about a gathering at CBC, but when we gather in the name of “Blessed Edmund Rice”, it becomes an extra special event, which was the case on Saturday night!

Assessment for Learning!As Semester 1 draws to a close staff in the Junior Campus are currently engaging in the process of summative assessment and report writing. When we refer to assessment, summative assessment (which considers student achievement against goals or curriculum standards) is only one form of assessment that teachers use to inform teaching and learning. Teachers in the Junior Campus when reporting on your child’s achievement will draw upon a range of assessments, standardised and diagnostic, which have been used to inform, monitor and scaffold student learning and achievement throughout the semester andtopromoteself-reflectionandgoalsetting.Ineducational terms this range of assessment is often referred to as “Assessment FOR, AS and OF Learning”.

Assessment FOR learning: focuses on the gap between where a learner is in their learning and where theyneedtobe–thedesiredgoal,whereteachershavea clear concept of what is expected, provide feedback using thoughtful questions, careful listening and reflectiveresponsesandexplicitlyteachwhatlearnersneed to develop.

Assessment AS learning: focuses on teachers and learnersidentifyingandreflectingontheirownevidenceof learning, helping to set their own learning goals and practise self and peer-assessment.

Assessment OF learning: focuses on teachers moderating and using evidence of learning to make judgements on learner achievement against goals and standards.

Assessment FOR, AS and OF learning informs high quality teaching and promotes a systematic and planned approach to your son’s learning through the targeting of curriculum and pedagogy. Such a range of assessments informs, scaffolds and promotes differentiation of practice and ensures learner achievement.

As a learner your son will have areas of strength and areas that need further development. Quality assessment practices provide clear insight regarding how to promote and scaffold continuous improvement in the social, emotional, physical and cognitive domains.

On receiving your child’s report, it is important that youtaketimetoreflectonhiscurrentachievementand support him in partnership with his teachers to set learning goals focused on his continuous improvement and development. It is also important to realise your son hashisownuniquelearningprofileandassuchitisnot helpful to compare his achievement against others. Instead, focus on his strengths and individual progress and in partnership with his teacher, work together to scaffoldandpromotesuccessintheareashefindschallenging. High challenge and high levels of support promote success!

A wonderful example of this was the way in which Mr Adam Baird this week scaffolded the opportunity for a gifted group of long distance runners to shine at the SAPSASA District Cross Country, among them Akok whocamefourthoutofafieldofninetycompetitors.MrBaird recognised the potential in Akok and provided for himalearningopportunityreflectiveofhighchallenge,high support, scaffolding him through to success and allowing him to shine. Blessed Edmund Rice recognised the potential in the boys on the streets of Waterford; he, too, promoted for the boys an education of high challenge and high support and in doing so transformed their lives forever.

In closing I leave you with this quote from Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi:

You Have Wings!You were born with potential.You were born with goodness and trust.You were born with ideals and dreams.You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You were not meant for crawling, so don’t.You have wings!Learn to use them and fly.

Dear Families and Friends

In the Gospel last Sunday, Jesus asked his disciples to baptise in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Sometimes this request is made to sound like a dry, mathematical formula. But is a far cry from that. It was a request from Jesus for people to be invited into a circle of trust, love and forgiveness, a spring of life that is God.

In the 15th Century, a Russian monk, Andre Rublev, painted an icon of the trinity.

He said, “What we have is a beautiful insight into something of the nature of God...a God who is relational, hospitable and welcoming.”

Rublev learnt that in the book of Exodus there was a story of three strangers who came to the tent of Abraham. Abraham came to recognise them as some angelic representation of God.

You will notice in the icon that God looks to us to complete the circle of love at the place at the table to which we are invited.

Jesus spoke about thefigtree.Takethefigtreeasaparable; as soon as its twigs grow supple and its leaves come out, you will know that summer is near.

To let God be God is to live in openness to the mystery, beauty and power God’s presence without limiting its transformative effect.

The mystery of the Trinity is a wonderful gift.

The task of contemplation is not to specify what conditions must be met before we believe in God’s existence, power or goodness; rather, the task of contemplation is to let God be good and for us to be like thefigtree,andsoakupthegraceofhispresence.

Gospel Challenge – Let The Fire Burn Within UsThree bricklayers are all set with the same task on a building site:

One is laying the bricks, a second is making a wall, the third is building a cathedral.

The challenge for us this week is to ensure we are building a cathedral not just laying bricks or making a wall.

Let’s use the analogy of a bricklayer this week at CBC.

Have a great week!

1 Corinthians 3

1 Brothers and sisters.... I planted the seed, Apollo watered it, but God has been making it grow. 7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labour. 9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

Let’s aim to build cathedrals this week and strive for excellence.

If you have any questions about this process please do not hesitate to contact me.

Vocational Education and TrainingAt CBC we have a number of students who undertake Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses. In many instances these courses attract SACE credits and offer students a vocational pathway as part of their SACE completion. While most of our students who are undertaking vocational courses are enrolled in full-year courses, there are a number of courses that are offered on a semester basis.

It is now time for students who are interested in pursuing a vocational pathway to enrol in Semester 2 options. Christian Brothers College accesses a wide range of courses through a number of different Registered Training Providers. We also run Driver Education through Allan Miller Driving School, and The Company of Muses Live Production Theatre and Events here at CBC. If your son is interested in pursuing a vocational pathway, I would encourage him to make an appointment with either the College VET Coordinator or the College Careers Counsellor. We can offer guidance in identifying an appropriate pathway that matches your son’s interests and skills. It will also ensure that your son is receiving appropriate advice on developing a SACE pattern which will ensure success through Stage 1 and Stage 2.

Some of the courses that our students are currently enrolled in are:

• Automotive• Construction• Electrical• Plumbing• Child Care Services• Animation and More• Driver Education• Information Technology• Architectural Drafting

Is Your Son Getting Enough Sleep?Parents often bemoan the fact that their teenager has suddenly transformed into a night owl with a distinct aversion to awakening in the morning! While teenagers’ body clocks do tend to tick to a different cycle from ours, it is still crucially important that they can arrive at school, on time, and with enough energy to think clearly.

Current research recommends that teenagers get between 7 and 10 hours per night of restful sleep; without this depth and length of sleep, bodies and brains do not function, learn and respond effectively.

Over the last few weeks we have been lucky to have one of our former scholars, Pasquale Alvaro, now a Research student in Psychology at the University of Adelaide, address some of our students. To further address some of the concerns about sleep and the impact of sleep deprivation on the brain our boys are participating in this research.

Outstanding Athletics Results by CBC boysThere have been some wonderful opportunities recently for gifted runners from CBC to represent our school at State level competitions.

Kian Bird from Year 5 had previously won the 100m District Athletics Final and as such was selected to represent East Adelaide District at the recently held SAPSASA Metro Athletics carnival at Santos Stadium on 10 May. He won his heatsandqualifiedforthe100mfinalinwhichhecameavery credible third place; he should be extremely proud of his results and the way in which he represented CBC.

Always respect the opposition team but respect your own team’s efforts more.

For our loyal followers you would know that this was the last of the D pool games that we were put into by the Sports Association for Adelaide Schools (SAAS). It was the last “must win” game in this pool of three teams. CBC faced a formidable PGS team and won. If we did not win then it would come down to the shootout between Rostrevor College and Prince Alfred College. In that scenario should Rostrevor win, and then the point average of Rostrevor would be compared with CBC’s as we would have won two games each to determine which team progresses to the next level of competition. This was why it was a “must win” game. By prevailing we won three out of three games to emerge top of Pool D, nullifying the scenario mentioned and earningtherighttoprogresstothefinalknockoutrounds.The CBC team pays their respect to PGS for their tenacity, sportsmanship and wish them well for the rest of the basketball season.

The CBC players were given four clear instructions at the start of the game. Pull in all defensive rebounds, have a safety player in offence and defence, look for the pass to the low post and set screens and be intelligent with the shot selection. They did this for three quarters and came out with a win. A learning point is to accept all referee decisions and to support the team irrespective of undisciplined plays or mistakes. Without compromise, I believe that the team is above individual players.

CBC relied on our favoured 2–3extendeddefencetointerceptandexertpressureat the half way line. We had to counter PGS’s back door cuts as that cost us. We exerted our dominance in the defensive rebounding sector as well as the offensive boards which contributed 25 points towards the overall score. We patiently swung the ball well in the offensive zone until a pass was on to the cutter who received and converted. Thefourthree-pointersalsocontributedinthefirst,thirdand fourth to counter our lack-lustre effort in the second quarter characterised by some loose passes and sloppiness in getting back to our defensive zone. It was also pleasing to see the defensive pressure by CBC in our defensive zone by individual players as well as excellent double-teaming the opposition under our basket. In offence, we screened well and vitally were able to put together some very good combination passes to score. Another feature which impacted on the game outcome was the scramble and securingofthelooseballonthecourtinadditiontofiercecontesting of the ball to neutralise and force a jump ball.

While it was a game of the guards last week, we were able to make this game a more balanced affair where the forwardsandguardsexertedequalinfluenceindictatingthefinaloutcome.Thisequatestoateam effort and that wins games.

The terrible twins or should I say the twin towers of Balkwill (scored four) and Kurves (six points) were quite instrumental in our win. The key was to pass to low post to these big menwhoalsohadspecificrolestoplayinpullingdownas many offensive and defensive rebounds. They did so in style to secure the ball. It is important to note as the teamevolvesthattheotherplayersarefinallybeginningto recognise and appreciate the role these two men play.

Balkwill exerted a presence in the second to minimise damagewhileKurvesinthefirstandthirddidthesametosteady the score line.

De Pinto and Hilliker could also be joined by an umbilical cord as they both read the offensive play as one. Indeed, it was synchronicity at its best as they both exerted a coordinated attack on the opposition ball carriers. Importantly, they marked and contained their opposition counterpart to reduce their scoring options, allowed time for our defence to set up, caused a few turnovers in our favour and scored seven points between them, De Pinto on the driveandHillikerwithathreeinthefirst.Probablythetwobest point guards in the competition.

Best Players: Donovan Yarron, Kaine Baldwin, nicholas Rillotta, Will Moten, Ethan D’Angelo, and Colby Illies.

Last week our boys came up against the best team of the competition, St Michael’s College.

At the end of the game, their coach mentioned that our boys out-marked their opposition which was high praise.

Unfortunately, it was a running power of St Michaels that really was too strong for us.

Our efforts weren’t helped by late injuries and unavailability to key players but despite this there was some real improvement from new players to our team.

nicholas Rilotta showed some real application to get down and dirty and demonstrated when you are accountable for your man you can win the ball.

Will Moten took some gutsy marks and this was his best game.

Kaine Baldwin stepped up to the plate in defence and pushed hard through the pain barrier.

Donavon Yarron played his best game down back and repelled many attacks and if not for him the scores could havebeenalmost30goals.

The amount of inside-50s that St Michael’s had was like a tsunami of ball.

Unfortunately, our ability to man up consistently on players running free did hurt us and there were several of our key playersdownonformandconfidence.

Despite the score line, I was really proud of the boys’ ability to keep making a great effort and continue to work for each other.

Due to the disappointment of some of our whole squad being unavailable for training and some games it has been decidedthatourYear4/5Footballteamwillrevertbacktoone side after the long weekend. Boys will be rewarded with games by the ability to be committed to all aspects of the game.

We had a cracker of a game today off the back of the lightning carnival. Belair/St John were a little under done; however, the work rate of the CBC boys today was great. Westartedthefirstquarterverystronglywithalltheplayin our forward half however we only converted 2 goals. The second and third quarters were very much played in our attacking zone. What stood out today are the evident improvements in the group in their ability to look for the short handball to the running player and taking the time to look up and kick to a purple top. I am very impressed to see when we are in our forward zone the boys will look for a pass to a lead and setup for the goal shot. Keep it up.

Great work by all on a well-deserved win today. Rest week coming up and back into it Round 6 on 16 June

Thanks to Assistant Coach Ms Williams and Cosi for goal umpiring. Thanks for the Oranges.

Open HockeyTrinity College 2 defeated CBC 0

Best Players: L Christensen, L Telford, C Billows, A Connell.

An earlier start on a cold morning out at Golden Grove saw a sleepy CBC team hit the pitch. Trinity meant business fromthefirstwhistle,pushingintotheirattackzonecontinually. To CBC’s credit, despite being half asleep, they fought back returning the play of game to their own attack zone. Despite a number of attempts to convert, the balljustdidnotfindthebackofthegoals.Teamworkwasagain a highlight of the game, with everyone backing each other and desperately trying to put a score on the board.

Best Forward: Joseph GiglioBest Back: Tevita MakaBest Tackler: Adrian CondelloBest on Field: Sean Marzinotto

Forced by low numbers to forfeit the match to Pembroke, CBC played a scratch match of ten-a-side. We called upon ringers Darcy Bagshaw and Dylon Armstrong to play full back position. They did well to curb their enthusiasm with theU14s.TheWhiteteamlearntalotfromtheexperience;players who have been quiet some games really showed their stuff. The forwards in the team Joseph Giglio And Daniel Callisto ran like steam trains to the try line. Tom Mander, after time injured, was present at crucial times in the break-down to provide support. Tacklers Tevita and Adrian were great to watch. Special mention to Sean Marzinotto who received a direct tackle but played on valiantly. CBC enjoyed every moment on the pitch.

Year 10A Knockout SoccerCBC 5 defeated Glenunga 0CBC 1 drew Norwood Morialta 1

CBCwasthehostforthisfirstgrouproundofthe2012year 10 Knockout competition. We played at Hutt Street and the smaller pitch proved to be a challenge as it didn’t take much to get the ball to either end. Glenunga was our firstopponentandittooksomeinitial‘findingofthefeet’and Samed broke the tension with a goal after some fancy manoeuvres that bewildered Glenunga’s defence. Samed soon rattled them again with a second goal and I could smell victory. Jesse as always came into the picture and displayedhisprowessandscoredathirdforthefirsthalf.

Second half commences and the boys are revved up. Through Glenunga’s frustration a penalty was awarded to CBC and the ‘Scud Tambo Missile’ was put into action and delivereditintothenet,bafflingthegoalkeepernotknowingwhere the ball went. As usual, our faithful forward Daniel comestoplayanddrivesinthefinalgoallettingGlenungaknow that we were serious contenders.

Our plan was to rest the boys and let the other two opposing teams battle it out and we would then come in refreshed and take charge.

Skill errors and defensive pressure produced alotofturnoversandthefirsthalfendedwithbothteamsfailing to convert opportunities to score. CBC started the second half in a positive frame of mind and quickly established their dominance. A lovely pass by Joseph

Pangallo in front of goal found Sao Sesay and he slotted the ball into the back of the net. St Ignatius moved players and worked their way back, at times running four players intheforwardline.Thisrelentlesspressureandamid-fielddefensive lapse resulted in a goal to St Ignatius with about 10 minutes to go. The CBC back line continued to repel their attacks and ran down several breaks in the penalty box. A few shots at goal late in the game missed the mark and both teams felt the frustration of a draw.

Due to the long weekend there will not be a game this weekend, 9/6/12. There will be a training run on the SportsfieldonTuesdaythisweek,anditisexpectedthatthiswill be a regular feature.

Relentless pressure. That’s what the game felt like. St Michaels did not relent in our half, bringing a strong physical game to our defensive line: Christian Tarzia, Jordan Korb, Braeden Manning and Haimish Marshall. Our boys held like a human fortress. When their attack broke through, Daniel Houston took up the position of stopper clearing out any opposition players.

Stuart O’neill was a welcome presence in goals -- a talentedkeeperwhofilledthewholeteamwithasenseofcompetenceandease.Welcometofirst-timeplayersforthe Bs John Sesay, Adam Skondras and Christian Tarzia -- well played gentlemen. no game this weekend. See you at training on Wednesday night.

Open Table TennisImmanuel College defeated CBC

In an Indian summer twilight CBC went down swinging to an under-nourished Immanuel team. Even with greater than normal use of the interchange rule we could not dig ourselves out from under. Blame it on anything other than talent, zeal or gallantry or not blame it -- we were simply out manoeuvred by grace, accuracy and the ballet of experience.

We contemplated coming second as we wheeled our bicycles down From Road into the fading light.

Winter training begins for CBC Senior Rowing boysLast Sunday was the beginning of the winter rowing training season for the CBC Senior Rowing Squad. So as not to interfere with the school winter sports, the ‘on water’ content of this year’s winter training has been moved to a Sunday morning. To work in with the winter sports, giving a more rounded approach to all CBC sport, it is hoped that having training on Sunday morning will act as a ‘recovery session’ for those students who are involved in winter sport. This will allow them to recover more quickly from their winter sport matches and reduce the incidence of injury.

Despite the inclement weather a good two-thirds of those students available for the upcoming season’s CBC Senior RowingSquadattended,plussomeofourverykeenjuniorboys.Somestruggledwiththedifferentfitnessaspectsbetween rowing and their winter sports - they were using different muscle groups the on water and over distance. But despite this and the initial problems they had staying in their boats, the boys trained well in this technical session.

Two weights trainings are also being offered to the Senior Squad on Tuesday and Friday nights. These three sessions willcontinuetilltheendofTerm2andthenpartiallyintotheTerm3.

Withthestartofthe2012/13rowingseason(onSaturday27October)lessthan20weeksaway,theseearlytrainingsessions will put our CBC rowers in a position to represent themselves and the school with pride and excellence.
