Dear Lord We thank you for this new school year. We ask that you bless the students, their families and the staff that make our school a great place. May we explore together the territory of knowledge; May we learn together the mysteries of truth; May we share together the joy of friendship; May we release in each other the spark of creativity; and May we inspire others to follow Your call. We pray that you will guide us in all ways so that we will seek your will in everything that we do. Live Jesus in our hearts All: Forever

The Rite Journey
There can be no doubt that the ability of a Catholic school to bring to life the gifts and talents of a child, to create an ethical and formal network within which he/she can make decisions, and the ability to strengthen his/her faith, will indeed produce rich assets that will empower that child forever.
I readily acknowledge that schools cannot meet all the needs or aspirations of society. They cannot replace the fundamental role of families and communities in the formation of young people. However, schools do play a critically important part in the building of the character of young people and therefore the character of society.
A school confronts a never to be resolved contradiction: it must fulfil the expectations of those it serves if it is to survive, but it must change those expectations if it is to be truly educational.

Tomorrow s gentlemen
Dear Lord We ask you to send the Holy Spirit into the lives of the young men who are beginning their journey here at CBC Fremantle. Open their ears to hear what you are saying to them in the things that happen to them and in the people they meet. Open their eyes to see the needs of the people around them. Open their hands to do their work well and to help when help is needed. Open their lips to tell others the Good News about Jesus and bring comfort, happiness and laughter to other people. Open their minds to discover new truth about you and our world. Open their hearts to love you and all people as you have loved us. Live Jesus in Our Hearts All: Forever.
Thank you Year 7 Information Evening
