Aboriginal Reconciliation

The establishment and maintenance

of a strong culture and set of beliefs is

essential to the effective functioning

of a good school. At CBC Fremantle

we seek fairness and equity for each

member of our community and the

promotion of these same qualities in

wider society. Mr Burgio wrote very

eloquently about equity in the last

newsletter and I hope this is a principle

which is clearly understood and embraced

by everyone who is part of this College.

As it applies to our commitment to

reconciling with the first people of this

land, it is an imperative borne out of

our authenticity as a Catholic school

and as an educational institution

committed to justice in our nation.

Some readers may remember a speech

delivered in 1992 in the Sydney inner-

city suburb of Redfern by the Australian

Prime Minister of the time, Paul Keating.

Occurring shortly after the Mabo decision

in the High Court and the establishment of

the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation,

this speech was a turning point in how

Australia recognised and acknowledged

its history. It called for an understanding

that this country had a record of human

occupancy and culture which extended

back for 50,000 years and not the 200

which had commonly been the focus

of teaching and understanding to that

point. It also paved the way for the formal

apology to Indigenous Australians for past

government practices, which was delivered

by Kevin Rudd some 15 years later.

From the Principal

CBC Fremantle Newsletter | Week 9 Term 2 | Page 3

Most importantly, Mr Keating encouraged

all non-Indigenous Australians to

consider the question of justice from

the perspective of our Indigenous

brothers and sisters. He said:

It might help us if we non-Aboriginal

Australians imagined ourselves

dispossessed of land we had lived on

for 50,000 years - and then imagined

ourselves told that it had never been

ours. Imagine if ours was the oldest

culture in the world and we were told

that it was worthless. Imagine if we

had resisted this settlement, suffered

and died in the defence of our land, and

then were told in history books that we

had given up without a fight. Imagine if

non-Aboriginal Australians had served

their country in peace and war and were

then ignored in history books. Imagine if

our feats on sporting fields had inspired

admiration and patriotism and yet did

nothing to diminish prejudice. Imagine

if our spiritual life was denied and

ridiculed. Imagine if we had suffered the

injustice and then were blamed for it.

Although spoken nearly 24 years

ago, this invitation to reflection

seems equally pertinent today.

At CBC Fremantle we seek to be a

community which is inclusive and in

which all members are reconciled with

each other. Everyone is welcome to be

a part of our school and, within this

environment, our boys are taught that

difference is something to be respected

and celebrated. Unfortunately, this is not

always evident in our broader society

which comprises those who are supportive

of attempts at reconciliation, sceptics

and those afflicted with apathy. Many

people lack the will or the confidence to

believe that meaningful reconciliation

with the original inhabitants of this land

is achievable. I thank you as always for

the support you offer in each of your

homes in advocating a contrary view.

It is hoped that the modelling which is

provided by our school community and

in your homes may offer inspiration

and suggest possibilities for society in

general. It is further hoped that the

individual and specific experiences of our

boys while at school will inspire them

to be positive agents for change. This is

critical work in ensuring that our College

fully embraces and reflects the EREA

touchstone of Justice and Solidarity.

Please make sure all student items are clearly labelled

Everything from lunch containers to items of clothing end up in Student

Services. With the cooler weather, it has been noticed that a lot of student

jumpers do not have a name written on the inside tag. Please make sure

your son’s property is clearly labelled so Mrs Giancaspro and Mrs Gordon can

attempt to reunite the owner with his lost property.

Uniform Shop Opening Hours

The Uniform Shop will be closed during the holidays and will resume for normal

business when school returns in Term 3.

ReflectionsGrieving God,

In your Son you experienced the agony

of the pointless, savage, and premature

end of life:

Look with mercy on those who have lost

loved ones in Orlando.

Restore the confidence of any

who fear they can never relax

or enjoy themselves again.

Calm the anxiety of all whose identity

makes them the ready target

of hatred and violence;

and hasten a world where all are

celebrated for who they are

as your children,

where difference is a sign of

your diverse abundance,

and where there is no use for guns;

through your wounded yet risen and

ascended Son.

Live Jesus in our hearts.

Forever,

Amen.
