Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Last weekend many of our College community would have watched the opening ceremony of the XXX Olympiad of the modern era in London. The Olympic Games is not only an opportunity for sporting achievement for each country but also to live the Olympic spirit of sportsmanship and team work. At the opening ceremony, Sarah Stevenson, Great Britain’s taekwondo fighter, read the Olympic oath. The Olympic oath was written by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, to be sworn by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag. The athletes’ oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games. The oath originally stated:

“In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.”

As a College community we are proud to uphold our commitment to sportsmanship in all our sporting endeavours. Over the years we have displayed as a College enormous pride and honour to wear the purple and white in all our sporting events and to work collaboratively as a team. We are reminded that we have four past students who have won the Pierre De Coubertin Award for sportsmanship here at CBC on behalf of the South Australian Olympic Committee. These include: 2005 - Ben Clarke, 2009 - Adrian Laube, 2010 - Jack Culbertson and 2011 – Nicholas Salagaras. May the Olympics over the next two weeks be an inspiration for us all to continue to live this spirit in our college.

Farewell to Ron MobbsThe Water Sports Auxiliary last Sunday hosted a farewell to Mr Ron Mobbs our Director of Water Sports who has been successful in gaining a position at Wilderness College. The farewell was well-supported by parents, students, staff and past and present members of the Rowing Auxiliary, including past presidents of the auxiliary. It was also pleasing to have in attendance Br Patrick Cronin (past Principal) and Br James Murray

(Ancient Scribe) who have continued to be great supporters of the rowing program. Mr Mobbs was thanked by many members of the College community for his tireless effort over the past four years in supporting both rowing and canoeing within the college. The highlight of his farewell was the speech given by the senior rowers who thanked Mr Mobbs not only for his coaching ability but also for his care, compassion, wisdom and the father-like figure he was for all the rowers.

Joseph Mc Williams read the following poem to express his gratitude to Mr Mobbs.

I’m a boy, thirteen, shy and unsure,They all look so strong seem to know what to do.Team work, hard work, their technique is so pure.These oars are so long and I feel so new.Quads carried in the dark across morning dew.Faster now, hands away, reaching at the catch.Now a proud dedicated confident young few.Fast up the slide, we hear the cheers from the lawn.Encourage and lead, we’re devoted to the dawnI’m taller, stronger now show others how it’s done.I’m loyal and brave, a purple “zootie” son.Mobbs taught me this blessing, now it was my fate.A proud Christian Brother of the First Eight!

Dedicated to every beautiful young man who has ever, is, and will, row for CBC. (2010) Leah McWilliams (a CBC rowing mum)

2 INSIGHT

Mr Ron Mobbs has been a gift to our College and our students at CBC. Currently at the London Olympics there are four rowers competing who Mr Mobbs has coached. This clearly demonstrates his talent as a rowing coach. We wish him every success in his new role. Mr Beau Gora is our newly appointed Director of Water Sports.

Staff NewsMrs Suzanne Martin Long will be finishing on Friday 17 August and moving back to the United Kingdom to live. Mrs Long in her short time here at the college has been a wonderful teacher who truly cares for the well being of all the students. She will missed from the College community and we wish her all the best in her new endeavour. Mrs Long will be replaced by Mr Cail Harris at the commencement of week six.

Sr Catherine ClarkLast week I had the pleasure of attending Sr Catherine Clark’s farewell at Mary MacKillop College. Sr Catherine has been chair of the South Australian Commission of Catholic Schools for the past 18 years. She has been instrumental in the vision and strategic direction of the catholic system. On behalf of the college we thank Sr Catherine Clark for her contribution to catholic education and support of CBC over the past eighteen years.

Parents and Friends AGMThe College community is reminded that the P&F AGM has now been postponed to Tuesday 21 August in the Senior Campus Board Room commencing at 7.00pm. All members of the community welcomed.

Show Day - Change of dateCould parents please be aware of a misprint that occurred in the Term 3 parent/student planner that was distributed with reports. The Show Day will now be on Thursday 13 September. The College day will conclude at 12.30pm at both campuses to allow the opportunity for families to attend the Adelaide Royal Show. Given the College is providing a half-day we would appreciate it if students are not absent on other days while the Royal Show is occurring.

People Choice AwardsThank you to all members of our College community who voted at the recent People’s Choice Awards. All successful award receipts were featured in the Adelaide Review. The article in the Adelaide Review is included below:

Swanbury Penglase Architects, who has a strong focus on exemplary educational design, has enjoyed their remarkable journey with the distinguished 134-year-old college to help create this new ‘state of the art’ 21st Century multimodal, multimedia enhanced educational facility, which has been designed around the interplay of shape, colour, texture and light. We are delighted to have designed the dynamic and controlled light filled interiors with its custom designed furniture and bold use of colour, that plays a significant role to encourage the children to joyfully interact, learn, create and explore their new comfortable, sustainable and stimulating learning environment. Located on a tight Adelaide CBD fringe site, the new CBC Junior Campus with its breathtaking views of the neighbouring parklands, adjacent city and the Adelaide Hills beyond has been conceived as a series of connected learning spaces with large breakout spaces up its three levels and to multiple external areas, which includes an innovative Roof Play area

for the students to expand to. CBC have similarly confirmed they are proud that this bold new architecture with its award winning interiors has exceeded their wildest expectations and they wish Adelaide’s community and their current students, who come from 104 different postcodes, enjoy and celebrate this new vision for the college.”

Great News StoryIt is always exciting to read the success of our old collegians. Paul Vasileff (2007 old collegian) was recently featured in the Advertiser on the success of his designer label. Five years ago, Paul left CBC to commence his fashion label “Paolo Sebastian” using friends as models and audience at his displays. Now he has studied at the world renewed Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan and has been part of the fashion week in London. Paul recently designed a dress for Ada Nicodemon at the recent Logies presentation.

Congratulations• Both our Jazz Ensemble and Senior Rock Band

have been selected to play at the Catholic Music Festival. They have been selected out of ninety acts that were auditioned with only thirty places available.

• Our Year 11 music students also performed at the Red Cross Charity function this week at the Adelaide Town Hall. I personally received an email from the Red Cross outlining how well the students performed and extending their congratulations to the College on being successful in the blood donation challenge for five years in a row.

Counsellor’s Corner

For what I have failed to do!At the beginning of the Mass we confess our sins “...in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do.” We often forget the second part - our sins of omission - the good not done, the words never spoken, the gifts never developed. Jesus told the Parable of the Good Samaritan to illustrate this (Luke 10: 29-37). A man is beaten, robbed and left on the side of the road. A priest and a Levite notice the man but “passed by on the other side.” They omitted to help. A Samaritan, moved with compassion, did help. How often we walk on the other side when we do not say a kind, compassionate, consoling or encouraging word when it would be helpful or do not seek forgiveness when it is needed, or do not do our share to make home really a home and not just a place we sleep at. It is not what we have done but what we have failed to do. In looking back on our own life, it is sobering to reassess the doors not opened, roads not walked, dreams not pursued and the talents not used. Jesus is saying to us more is needed than not sinning. We are challenged not to omit the good we can do, the ways we can help others and the developing of our own talents. As usual it is best to start at home and to start today. What things do I omit to do at home?

3INSIGHT

Last week I was away for three days at an EREA conference for Identity Leaders which then became a conference on Service Learning. I was joined on the last two days by Mr Hilary Flynn. I didn’t like being away so early in my time here but it was a worthwhile experience. Nearly all EREA schools were represented and some other Catholic and non-Catholic schools joined us for the service learning section. The first day saw us immersed in the story of Br Ambrose Treacy who founded the Australasian province and hence opened the first schools including CBC here in Adelaide. We heard from the author of the book on his life Br Regis Hickey and reflected on aspects of his mission and Spirituality. He was clearly a man who got things done and had a deep faith in God. That afternoon we walked around the original sites in Melbourne where it all began in 1868. I was able to bring a copy of the book back to the school.

The second section of the conference dealt with service learning which most Catholic schools including CBC see as being very important. Service is part of being a Christian and I was strongly reminded of the need to relate this learning back to the story of Edmund and most importantly the story of Jesus. If we don’t do that then we can feel good about what is being done but it doesn’t give clear meaning to what we do and of course our Spirituality is not engaged. The other strong reminder was the absolute need to prepare young people thoroughly for their experience and to debrief them when they return. It was uplifting to meet so many committed people from our schools around Australia. I am convinced that much good is being done.

I am continuing to meet more students and am finding them to be friendly young men. I am looking forward to many events still to come including the Intercol weekend and our birthday celebrations.

The Legacy of the BrothersThis term we are remembering the life of Br Ambrose Treacy as we commemorate the 100th Anniversary of his death. In the recent book of his life entitled Patrick Ambrose Treacy: Christian Brother, Enterprising Immigrant author Regis Hickey recounts Br Treacy’s planned visit to South Australia in 1876. On page 135 we read:

“The Bishop of Adelaide was very anxious that I should go over there to see for myself the inducements which he could hold out to entice us to his diocese. Not being able to see how I could reach it as soon as he would require Brothers. I refused on two occasions to go. During our retreat I received a note from the Vicar General to beg me to go during the vacation; that then I could have no excuse for want of time, that the bishop would pay all expenses and that I would be the guest of his Lordship during my stay in Adelaide, etc. I sent Brother Regis as I know he could combine business with pleasure.”

Piano students shineWednesday 27 June proved to be a very special day for CBC pianists – this was the inaugural CBC Piano Recital. Ms Won Lee, our esteemed piano teacher, had spent the previous weeks preparing the boys for solo performance. This preparation included selecting repertoire that was age appropriate and instructing the boys in audience and performance etiquette.

The evening, held in the Brothers House, was a resounding success with over 100 audience members. The boys gathered on the balcony after their performance to eat chocolate biscuits and to celebrate a public performance in front of a very appreciative audience.

Kudos goes to Ms Lee for her wonderful expertise as a pianist and extraordinary skills as a piano teacher – every one of her students played with sensitivity and delightful musicianship. Thank you to Ms Davies, Junior School Music Staff member, who helped organise the event and thank you to the parents who support the instrumental program here at CBC. Congratulations and thank you to the following boys who made this first piano recital a very memorable night:

Nicholas Arman Riley Atkinson

Music Captains at the Town HallWeek 3 and our able music captain, Harrison Visintin, and vice captains, Marcus Barricelli and Jordan Lennon, were at the Town Hall on a Monday night to perform for the opening of the Red Cross National Blood Donors Week. The boys performed a series of Jazz standards to entertain a crowd of 500 and, as usual, played with sophistication and that rare ability to engage an audience. These gentlemen are outstanding ambassadors for CBC and work tirelessly as musicians and as mentors for the younger members of the music department. Thank you to Mr Roach who was the roadie for the evening and thank you to the Red Cross who provide a myriad of performance opportunities each year for CBC musicians.

Instrumental UpdateThird term has begun and we welcome back guitar teacher, Mr Collagrossi, who has returned from his extended leave. Currently there are no available places for drum, voice or guitar lessons but there are a few available slots for piano, clarinet, sax and trumpet lessons.

Dear Parents and Friends,

Welcome to another week. The last two weeks has seen our twenty very excited new Reception Gold students familiarise themselves with the Reception class and school routines extremely well.

Last week, I saw some wonderful examples of our students displaying and sharing their gifts and talents. At our Friday assembly the following students played the piano so beautifully for our entire student cohort as well as for our staff and many parents who attended. Having three very musical adult children in my family who I am immensely proud of, I reflect back to when they were in primary school learning their instruments. Congratulations to Yash Giri, Johnny Zang, and Alexander Novokov for sharing their talents.

Similarly last Wednesday the annual CBC Cross Country event was held. There was great anticipation from students of all levels. This event was very timely with the Olympics now in full swing. The motto of Higher, Faster and Stronger can be applied to all facets of our lives. Congratulations again to everyone who competed; whilst some students may be disappointed in not being in the final three for selection, all students should be commended for trying so hard.

Upon my return I was delighted to learn that the JC community had raised $558.35 for the Cancer Council. Many Thanks to the Parents and Friends Committee, especially Sue Marzinotto for her co-operation and support in organising the raffle to support such an important fundraiser.

Br William DoyleAugust 1 is the anniversary of the death of Br William Doyle who was headmaster at CBC from 1916 to 1917. Br Doyle was in charge during the most difficult years of the First World War. He commissioned the Honour Roll which is now situated outside the chapel and had the Governor, Sir Henry Galway, officially unveil it in the presence of associated dignitaries from the armed services.

Having grown up on Sydney Harbor, Br Doyle had a lifelong passion for water sports and was a keen supporter of rowing. He was disappointed that the 1916 crew were unable to achieve the Head of the Torrens success of the 1912 crew but he encouraged their efforts by entertaining the rowers at a dinner at the Aurora Hotel. He also introduced the first swimming carnival at CBC which was held at the City Baths on North Terrace.

Br Doyle died in 1954 aged seventy-seven.

Dear Families and Friends

Jesus is very aware of the hunger in the people who have followed him. He calls his disciples into this compassionate awareness. Their initial response is of powerlessness, but that is not where it stops. They then see how a small, generous offering leads to sufficiency and more than sufficiency. They see Jesus provide food in abundance. They gather up the fragments, the ‘more than enough’ so that nothing will be wasted. The answer to the suffering of the people, and their liberation, is to be found in our care of each other. If we will only discover the riches in our midst, give thanks, and distribute what we have, we may find there is more than is needed to satisfy our hungers, and, in all this giving of bread, to satisfy the hunger of the soul. The bread that He provides then is his own self.

In Sunday’s Gospel, John 6:1-15, Jesus went off to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (the Sea of Tiberias) and a large crowd followed him, impressed by the signs he gave by curing the sick. Jesus climbed the hillside, and sat down with his disciples. It was shortly before the Jewish feast of Passover. Looking up, Jesus saw the crowds approaching and said to Philip, ‘Where can we buy some bread for these people to eat?’ ‘He only said this to test Philip; he himself knew exactly would only be enough to give them a small piece each.’ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother said, “There is a small boy here with five barley loaves and two fish; but what is that between so many?” Jesus said to them, ‘Make the people sit down.’

There was plenty of grass, and as many as 5000 sat down. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and gave them out to all who were sitting ready; he then did the same with the fish, giving out as much as he wanted. When they had eaten he said to his disciples, ‘Pick up the pieces left over, so that nothing gets wasted.’ So they picked them up, and filled twelve hampers with scraps left over from the meal of five barley loaves. The people, seeing this sign that he had given, said, ‘This reality is the prophet who is to come into the world.’ Jesus, who could see they were about to come and take him by force and make him king, escaped back to the hills by himself.

The Challenge from the Gospel this week is simple:

If you are an adult: When has a generous gift of another offered you hope?

If you are a child: What loving gift could you give to another person this week?

Gospel Challenge: Building Community

Mark 1:16-20

As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him.

When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.

The Gospel has a telos – the purpose of calling out a people, which is why I want to keep “gospel community” close to the announcement. I fear that most evangelicals see the church as “just an implication of the gospel” instead of thinking,

This is the whole point of the good news – God forming a people for His glory and the good of the world.

Building Communities is about working hard to include others.

When we exclude people from communities we are working against the gospel.

We need to take opportunities to trust each other to strengthen new relationships to form stronger and more loving communities.

As the boys continue their preparation for Confirmation and First Eucharist a reminder to all parents that the following parent meetings are an important phase of the ongoing commitment that you have for your child’s personal faith and formation journey.

This week the boys have received notification from their Class Teachers of the important SAINTS project that they will need to complete by 15 August 2012.

Learning Outcome

At the completion of the task the students will have the opportunity to:

• Identify the significance of the occasion and readily recognize the symbols of their confirmation.

• Understand the emotions and actions associated with making their confirmation and use these ideas to make connections with other sacramental celebrations.

• Explore the SAINT that they used to choose for their Confirmation Name.

Task

Students need to research the SAINT they have chosen as their CONFIRMATION name and present their findings to the class.

Assessment Criteria

50% Poster Content (To be displayed at the Cathedral on the occasion of your son’s Confirmation.)

This will need to include biography of the person’s life and sharing of the contribution they made to society which made them worthy of being a SAINT. Furthermore, there will need to be some sharing on the reason you chose this particular SAINT

30% Presentation

20% Self-Reflection – What did you learn about this SAINT and how will this learning help you as you continue your journey as a Catholic?

If you have any questions about this particular task feel free to speak with either your Class Teacher or myself.

Some important dates for your information:

• Tuesday 28 August 2012 at 6.00pm at the Senior Campus Chapel (Wine Tasting)

VET Student ProfileThis week’s VET profile is Year 10 student, Trent Walsh. Trent is currently undertaking Painting and Drawing at Marden Senior College. This course will satisfy partial completion of a Certificate III in Visual Arts and Contemporary Craft. The course is for those students who desire to learn or to expand their knowledge and skills in painting and drawing. It is a creative and exciting approach to visualising ideas and concepts. A variety of different contemporary and traditional techniques are covered in the areas of painting, drawing, printmaking, digital art, collage and mixed media.

Trent is really enjoying learning new skills, and building on his existing drawing skills through a diverse range of activities such as learning how to shadow, tone, use colour, develop backgrounding, mix colours, and use different brush strokes and techniques. Trent is hoping to develop his skills for future use in game design.

Year 10 Personal Learning PlanThe Year 10 cohort is well underway with the PLP. This compulsory Stage 1 SACE subject will help prepare students for their future pathway and subject selections for Stage 1 and Stage 2. An integral component of the course is the Work Experience program which will be undertaken in Week 7 of this term. Nearly all Year 10 students have secured a placement, and will begin more detailed preparation over the coming weeks for their week in the work force.

Open A BasketballCBC 44 defeated Westminster School 43

Best Players: Bryce Kurvers, Michael De Pinto, Michael Hilliker, Oliver Megins, Gian Ciabattoni.

An understatement perhaps but it was a close game. No team needs games like that do they? But in retrospect, perhaps we do. Win, lose or draw teams need these close games to get a reality check, look at strengths and weaknesses, assess how they cope with the pressure, learn about endurance, calm, team spirit and how to harness their inner strength. Most importantly teams can implode and lose whatever slight advantage they have in such close games. This team did not do that on Saturday as they compensated for their lapse in concentration, fought to comeback and rely on each other as a team to secure the narrowest of winning margins.

WS started very strongly in the first quarter to hit three 3-pointers immediately from the perimeter and followed this up with some good inside shots. We did not have much of an answer to this onslaught except to absorb the offensive pressure, defend and counter-attack when the opportunity came. The team settled in last few minutes of the first but WS won that first quarter convincingly by a margin of 8-21. CBC had never had this large a deficit to make up in the last eight games of this season.

The second quarter was more promising. The team worked hard to get the defensive rebounds and drove more strongly to the basket to make up the 13-point deficit. CBC hit three 3s of their own and worked on our inside game to put several two pointers up from good unselfish combination passes and at the same time increased our defensive intensity in addition to making strong cuts to the centre and curving out to the corners for the three point option. CBC won that quarter 19-4. At the major break the score line was 27-25.

The third quarter game plan was to go to the high post and pass to the tall timber on the inside. This paid immediate dividends with a quick seven points on the board finished off with a 3-pointer. Defensively we were also working overtime to restrict the WS scoring options. CBC finished with a 10-2 score line.

As in all games a team cannot take a slim lead for granted as WS came back at us in the fourth as they did in the first. The lead of 10 was cut down to three and in the last minute-and-a-half CBC was up by one solitary point. Instructions were to be calm and retain possession. This is where the team had to pull together and individual players step up; this they did. There were two critical plays which I think sealed the games for CBC. These will be mentioned later but it points to the fact that scoring points is critical and that every point counts; it is also the case that every non-scoring scramble for the ball also wins games. It also highlighted the fact that every player’s contribution contributes to the final result.

We prevailed with a one point win and with two players out due to personal circumstances. CBC has always had a healthy competition with WS. It is interesting to look at the record books to note that WS were the better team in 2010 when they beat us by three points (we did not draw a game against them in 2011). We were the better team this weekend and we wish WS the best for the remaining three games in the season.

Machar made an immediate impact in the second with four as he worked the inside jump shots. He made good position to receive the pass in the third as well. Still waiting for that dunk shot! Balkwill was excellent in the high post and positioned well to get rebounds at both ends. He presented well to try to get a tip in from shots from his team mates.

Ciabattoni got in 13 points off some three pointers and stylish drives to the basket. He controlled the ball well in offence and was quite determined in defence against their power guard. Squire was excellent in setting up defence and contributed to the score. He moved down the court well to supplement our weak side and acted as ‘safety’ at the top of the key.

Congratulations to Jordan Murphy (9W) recently competed in the Northern Territory Open Sprint Kart Championships at the Hidden Valley Racing Complex on Saturday 31st June and Sunday 1st of July, 2012. Competing in the J-Max category racing against 11 competitors from all around Australia. The weekend consisted of 2 heat races, a pre-Final and a Final. In the time trials, he qualified third, which determined his Heat 1 and 2 starting positions. He finished 7th in Heat 1, and 4th in Heat 2. Starting 4th in the pre-Final, he managed to work his way through to finish second. In the 16-lap Final, he started on the front row of the grid in second position. By the second lap, he took the lead and maintained first position for the remainder of the race. Crossing the finish line achieving his first State Open Championship win earning him the prestigious blue plate that he now wears on his kart.

Megins had nine points to his name but as usual underscored his contribution in defence. He worked the ball well down the court to set up the play particularly in the second and fourth quarters. Hilliker was consistent as ever in defence and offence. He made a difference with a timely three in the third. However his major contribution to the game was an outlet pass intercept from the backline individually to hold the ball and pass it around to let the clock wind down -- one of the game winning plays.

Kurvers had his job cut out for him this game. He worked the high post and screened well. Unfortunately he also attracted a lot of attention from the opposition who at various plays had him triple-teamed. Kurvers punched through all of that attention to put up 10 points and some valuable contested rebounds. De Pinto’s contribution cannot be measured in points although he scored as well. It was his tenacity to the ball at both ends that contributed significantly to our narrow win. In the dying minutes of the game we were in attack but made three bad passes intercepted by the opposition. Each could have resulted in ‘game over!’ He single-handedly managed to chase down and retrieve three consecutive wayward passes by CBC (in a single play) to deny the opposition and keep the ball in our possession. In combination with Hilliker’s play in the dying minutes, it changed the end game.

This all points to our continuous mantra, ‘We win, lose or draw as a team’. No player is more important than the other – everybody contributes and it also helps when all players score as they did in this game.

Thanks to the coaching team, and the parents and students who turned up to support us. This win makes it the eight consecutive win by the team.

Next Saturday 4 August is an away game against St Ignatius College at 10.30am.

Open C BasketballCBC 33 defeated Westminster 29

In a thrilling, tense game of basketball CBC prevailed against a quality Westminster team. Guards Vincent, Sunny and Raisy displayed excellent defensive pressure on the Westminster ball-carriers. This created turnovers allowing our players to capitalise and score baskets. The effort under the boards by Nam, Joie, Andrew and Alexi was terrific. Vincent top scored with 11 points, Andrew and Nam 8 points, Raisy 4 points and Joie 2 points. It was a wonderful team effort built on a strong, even contribution by all players. Looking forward to next week’s encounter.

First and Second XVIII FootballThe past two games have seen us play very strong opposition in Sacred Heart and Scotch. Whilst both teams struggled against bigger outfits, neither team have given any quarter nor asked it. The competitive spirit of CBC is to be admired when the game is on, however it is the commitment to preparation and training which has become the continual bugbear of the coaching panel. We consistently have less than 20 players for training out of a list of 50+, thus the means to develop skill, fitness and game plans of any description is minimal. Those who do train are enthusiastic and have become better players. We have had a difficult year with injury and playing up a division which has proved a major challenge. Each week is a new challenge and we have a great chance versus St Pauls on Saturday for a win. The team is

Best Players: McPherson, Strange, Crisanti, Colangelo, Boffo, Owens

Goal Scorers: Owens 2, Tully, Koulizos 1

CBC found the challenge of competing against the Division 1 Scotch outfit too difficult and valiantly went down by 33 points. We were heavily disadvantaged through the loss of key players prior to the game. Each week I’ve written of the dominance of Trent Daly (sickness) in ruck and around the ground. He was sorely missed despite the excellent efforts of Austin Crisanti and Nathan Koulizos as his replacements in ruck. We also heavily missed the run of Luke Johansen and Matthew Nardecchia (both injured), who are both consistently solid performers. The aerial strength of the versatile Tyson Sarunic (holidaying) was also missed, as was the consistent Jake Pinksterboer (flu).

To compound our problem of playing short by one player, our vice-captain Jack Owens suffered a rib injury which resulted in him missing parts of the game and reducing his run. Despite this Owens contributed well to the team. Marcus Colangelo from half back and on the ball had an excellent 4 quarters and provided much of the run that was missing through absences.

Despite the challenges CBC went in to the last change just 9 points down. I rolled the dice and instructed the players to be attacking, and supported this with a loaded forward line in the last quarter as Scotch headed down the hill and with the breeze. This presented our defence with the challenge of 4 versus 6 players and I must report that the efforts of Will McPherson and Chris Boffo in these circumstances were outstanding. They were also well-supported by the hard working Jack Strange and Austin Crisanti, who marked well around the ground. Unfortunately our forward line players appeared too reliant on others and didn’t compete well enough to keep the ball in the area.

Whilst it was disappointing to lose I am proud of the way the team confronted the challenge and competed with Scotch. We look forward to playing them again next year with a full complement of players.

Goal Scorers: Jordan Howard 2, Royce Goodwin 2, Steven Tsoukatos 1, Andrew McPherson 1

Best Players: Royce Goodwin, Ben Adams, Ben D’ Antonio, Riley Atkinson, Jordan Howard

A great result on a very large ground in wet, muddy conditions. We had control of the game for most of the day and at one stage led by four goals. A couple of critical turnovers cost us dearly when we tried to switch play but short kicks to dangerous position cost us two goals.

For the majority of the day we played smart football setting up on the defensive side and linking with good hand skills in close. We missed plenty of easy shots running into an open goal in the third quarter and could easily have been five goals up at three quarter time. Too many boys in the contest also cost us dearly when they cleared the ball to unmanned player.

To our credit we fought very hard in the last quarter to hold on for a very brave win kicking into the wind. Ben Adams and Ben D’Antonio played great running games. Royce Goodwin was outstanding in ruck and Riley Atkinson played a very valuable game at centre half forward.

We have now beaten PAC, St Peter’s and St Michael’s -- three of the strongest football schools -- which gives us some good hope for 1st XVIII football in a couple of years.

A strong team effort from every boy on the field ensured a win for the team on the weekend. The team adapted to the wet ground conditions of the main oval. It was a true winter game with boys from both teams becoming tired towards the end of the last quarter. However, despite the conditions every boy played their role, to ensure CBC maintained the lead to win the game. It was a courageous victory. Well done, boys. Keep up the good work.

Best Players: Jack Bourke, Liam Ryan, Kaine Baldwin, Adam Wells and Ethan D’Angelo

Last week we probably had our first dose of wet-weather football as we met St Peter’s College on their patch.

It was another close game with our boys working hard to stick to their structures.

In particular Ethan D’Angelo learnt a new role this week of playing a kick behind the play and if it wasn’t for his discipline the flood gates would have opened big time.

Additionally, Liam Ryan and Jack Bourke continued to work really tirelessly driving the ball forward.

Adam Wells presented brilliantly up forward, Eric Tsoukatos snapped a cracker of goal being in the right place at the right time.

Callum Atkinson continues to defies his age, by demonstrating great maturity beyond his years by having great game sense.

Kaine Baldwin worked really hard in the ruck to give our midfielders first look at the ball.

There is no doubt the CBC Little Heroes are improving a lot – they continue to be competitive; they just need to remember to work as hard when the opposition has the ball in an attempt to win the ball back.

Thanks again to Sharon Moten for supplying the oranges and Frank Boffo for waving the flags.

Our next challenge is against Pulteney Grammar at Pulteney.

It was an early game and the team was rearing to go! We worked well as a team as we improved our kicking ability and handballs. It was a low scoring game and we tried desperately to take possession of the ball and kick as many goals as we could.

A good effort all round and the boys once again showed us how they are improving their skills and also coming together as a well-drilled team.

A big thank you to Shaun Fitzpatrick for coaching the team and many of the dads that helped get the boys prepared for the game. Thanks to Cosi for being a goal umpire and for the oranges.

Year 10A Knockout SoccerCBC 4 defeated Trinity 1 Blackfriars 1 defeated CBC 0

Again CBC was the host for the second group round of the 2012 Year 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. We watched our opposing teams battle it out. It was fast and furious with a lot of ball skills from Blackfriars that caught Trinity off guard and they scored a goal within seconds of the whistle. Two more goals were quickly scored putting Trinity on the back foot. They failed to score at all, which placed them in a precarious position.

Now it was our turn to face Trinity and they started with a great attack that caught us off guard and they scored the first goal. We replied quickly through a penalty awarded to Jesse F and our “Scud Tambo” fired it into the net.

Three more goals soon followed benching Trinity out of the Knockout competition.

After lunch it was the battle between the two victors, CBC and Blacks. Our only problem was that we were missing our two best strikers - Daniel and Samed - omitted due to injury.

What a hard match this was with no-one conceding a goal for the first half. The race was on. Blacks needed a score to win. We just needed a draw or score to win. Blacks finally broke through our defence and scored a goal. CBC retaliated very hard and we had possession of the ball for most of the game with a few opportunities to score. At one time Matthew D went up for a fantastic header which he nailed but it hit the crossbar and deflected off -- so close yet so far! Sometimes it just isn’t meant to be. Today was not our day, the whistle blew and we joined Trinity on the bench, out of knockout for 2012.

Overall I was very proud of how the boys displayed themselves throughout the Knockout series maintaining their dignity and excellent sportsmanship at all times.

Men of the Match for both games were Matthew D, J Francesca, B Corbo and A Tamburrino.

Goals Scorers (vs Trinity): Andrew T 2, Jesse F 1, Bradley C 1

Thank you to Ben and Alex for running the line and Christian and Nathan for organising the nets. Thank you also to the parents who supported the boys and Mr Kaesler for driving to our venue and back safely.

Year 10A SoccerCBC 4 defeated St Paul’s 1

The boys had just come off of another win against Sacred Heart, but St Pauls this week was different story, as most of their players were unknown. Daniel Filosi put the first score in after twenty minutes of play, with a lovely turn and shot. St Pauls managed to level the game at one-all straight after. As the game came to half time Carmine Alvaro was pushed up forward in an attempt to grab the lead. With his first touch inside the penalty box he tucked away a great set of passes by the boys to bring us ahead at the break.

During the second half the boys continued where we had

left off in the first half dominating in the possession stat. As the game continued, St Pauls started pushing players forward putting pressure on our defence. But the boys fought back and managed to grab another two goals -- one from Jordan Gentile with a wonderful well-timed header and the other from Ganesh Westbury with a neat finish inside the penalty box. The final score 4-1 was a credit to the boys.

A special thanks to the boys who helped put the nets up and those who filled in from the B Team -- Ganesh Westbury, Tyler Yeadon and Alex Caporella from Year 9.

Men of the Match for this game are Jesse Francesca and Matthew D for their tremendous efforts in the forward line and midfield, dispossessing the opposition of the ball allowing them to score. All of the team played extremely well to keep the opposition at bay.

Our next match is away against Unley High School. Kick off at 8.15am. Be there 7.45am for warm-up.

Goals Scorers: Daniel F 1, Carmine 1, Ganesh 1, Jordan G 1 (a magnificent header)

Thank you to all parents who support the boys by getting them to the matches and cheering them on. Also a big thank you to Mr Hvalica for running the line.

Year 8A SoccerCBC 2 drew with Rostrevor 2

It was a delight of a game to watch, great movement of the ball, and some great attempts at goal. Our downfall was not converting our kicks at goals, to actual goals. We had players spending some time on the sideline because we changed our numbers to match our opposition. Without complaint CBC students played like gentlemen and enjoyed playing every moment. Valiant part-time goal keepers George Theolodoulu and Daniel Houston got muddy; and so did John Sesay, getting caught in the ankle deep mid-field quagmire. Great goals by Joel Deonatis. Special mention to Dylan Gabbana, Rafal Stawicki and Mushtaq Ahmad.

Open Table TennisBlackfriars defeated CBC

It began to rain as I turned the bus into Blackfriars. Julie’s Dumplings had closed so the incentive for victory was slight. We lost narrowly to a high-octane Blacks, but not from want of trying or creative use of the interchange bench. We had ten, they had eight. Numbers aren’t everything, just ask a mathematician.

We recalled probability exercises, decimal points and the narrowest of margins as we wheeled our bicycles down Frome Road into the fading light.
