CBC Fremantle Newsletter | Week 5 Term 1
From the PrincipalThe Season of LentThe whole school gathered in the
gymnasium this week to mark Ash
Wednesday and to reinforce the
significance of this occasion. This feast
day asks each of us to re-evaluate
our lives and to make a commitment
throughout Lent to the welfare and
service of others. The placement of
ashes on the forehead of every student
and staff member reminds us of the
wonderful capacity for transformation
that we possess. We are challenged to
dispense with selfish and destructive
behaviours and commit to a future
characterised by goodness and respect
for the other.
In the tradition of our Church, the
observance of Lent involves the practices
of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. It is a
time of both self-denial and renewed
attention to the way we relate to God and
others. For those who fully embrace this
season it has the potential to be rich in
significance and experience.
Prayer provides meaning to the actions
we undertake during Lent. It enhances
our relationship with God and allows us
to express our gratitude for the blessings
we have received from Him. During this
time let each of us pray for the welfare of
others and for the strength to faithfully
fulfil our own Lenten promises.

CBC Fremantle Newsletter | Week 5 Term 1
Throughout this season we are also
encouraged to refrain from all excesses
and to fast as a way of fostering an
empathy with those who are hungry as a
result of poverty. Our fasting is a sign of
our awareness and responsibility for the
injustice suffered by the poor. It is also
representative of our trust in God and
His providence.
Almsgiving is a natural response to our
heightened consciousness of inequality
and expresses an understanding of
the fact that the needs of all are the
responsibility of all. Typically, alms are
given to someone from whom you
would not expect to receive anything
in return. In many ways giving to others
is the ‘fruit’ of prayer and fasting and
may achieve its expression in ways
ranging from contributions to Project
Compassion to increased involvement in
service activity. Regardless of the specific
form of expression, almsgiving provides
recognition of our own privileged status
and is an act of gratitude for the many
blessings that we enjoy.
I hope that all families are able to
make the opportunity to maximise the
possibilities of this special time.
Student ServicesIn recent weeks the College has
welcomed Mrs Jennifer Giancaspro to
the role of Student Services Secretary.
Jenny fulfils a critical role for many
families in that she is often the first
point of contact with regards to student
absence, sick bay or a myriad of other
general enquiries. May I remind parents
that the earliest possible notification of
student absence is always appreciated
and this may be registered by calling
9430 2007 or preferably by emailing
Mr Shaun Kenny
Principal

Number through the College before they graduate or leave for employment.

Maasin, Southern Leyte
19 September – 2 October 2014
The Philippines Immersion provides a
unique opportunity for Year 10 and 11
students to travel to a remote part of
the Philippines and assist the Christian
Brothers in their mission to provide
services to the poor and marginalised.
The Philippines Immersion programme
aims to:
• witness firsthand the power of
education to make a difference in the
lives of the poor;
• show solidarity with educators, health
workers and those who are at the
margins;
• develop greater awareness in cross
cultural and inter-religious dialogue;
Philippines Immersion• form students who understand the
church’s mission in the contemporary
world context;
• experience the charism of Edmund
Rice alive in the developing world.
In addition to working with the Christian
Brothers during their time in the
Philippines, students will have many
opportunities to experience a variety of
cultural activities and time to explore the
immense natural beauty of this part of
the world.
They will travel via Singapore and Cebu
in the Philippines. The final destination
is reached by a six hour ferry crossing.
Maasin, although termed a city by
Philippines standards, is a small town on
the edge of the jungle. Most residents live
in small villages surrounding the city.
The travellers will stay in a small hotel in
the city but each day will venture out to
where the locals live and need help.
The people of Maasin are predominately
Catholic (98%) and evidence of their
belief is obvious. There are numerous
churches and shrines dotted around
the area. The people are generous and
friendly and their poverty does not
dampen their enthusiasm for everything
they do.
On the return trip through Cebu there
is also an opportunity to do some last
minute shopping at the world’s 11th
largest shopping mall.
CBC Fremantle Newsletter | Week 5 Term 1

the Arts Learning Area at CBC Fremantle
(entry off High Street) and at this time

Numbers are limited to a maximum of 10
students. Participation in this Immersion
is by invitation and students will need to
meet eligibility requirements. Applicants
will be interviewed by the Director of
Religious Education and Identity, Mr Craig
Dowsett, to help assess their readiness
and suitability for the experience
which may at times be challenging and
confronting.
Following acceptance into the
programme, a non-refundable deposit of
$295 (10%) will be required to confirm
a student’s place. A payment schedule
will be established with final payments
needed 60 days prior to departure.
