Wow! – How awesome is the CBC community?

Once again, the World’s Greatest Shave event reinforced this absolute fact!

Staff, students, parents and barbers united together for this fun event to raise funds for a very important cause: The Leukaemia Foundation.

CBC proved itself to be the number one fundraiser in South Australia yet again by raising a whopping $ 19,784.00!! 

This amount includes almost $4,000 raised by four Junior Campus students

• Harrison Bond
• Noah Radovanovic
• Max Simpson
• Sonny Sutherland

At the Senior Campus, the event was held on Friday, 7 March, at recess, and saw students and teachers bravely shave and colour their hair in solidarity with those affected by blood cancer.

The atmosphere was electric with excitement and support, as everyone gathered to cheer on the participants.

Students were also not disappointed with the blue iced doughnuts on sale – raising funds and also filling hungry bellies! Always a highlight for the boys at CBC fundraisers!

Special thanks to our brave shavers who showed immense courage and dedication to this worthy cause.

Once again, a special thanks go out to Fandi Scissorhand Barbers, as the event would not have been possible without the generous support from this local business. Donating their time every year makes the day run smoothly. Once again, old scholar Osama Obeid was one of the barbers. It is always fantastic to see old scholars excited to be back at school to contribute to its success and to support the students.

Great work, CBC!

Celebrating Women’s Voices: CBC Students Attend SA Women's Week Breakfast

On Monday 3 Match 2025, in the week leading up to International Women's Day, eight CBC student leaders attended the South Australian Women's Week Breakfast. The event, hosted by St Peter’s College, was dedicated to celebrating the voices and experiences of women with a focus on meaningful discussion to drive change towards gender equality. 

The breakfast was an opportunity to hear from a powerful panel of inspiring women who shared their stories of overcoming sexism and forging paths in their respective fields.

Fiona Dorman, a passionate advocate for gender equality, spoke candidly about her experiences in the workplace, while Jessica Adamson, a prominent figure in media, shared her perspective on sexism in the media industry. Lucy Stephan, an Olympic gold medalist, talked about the gender disparities in sports and the importance of resilience.

The event provided a space for reflection and dialogue, allowing the students to engage with the powerful messages shared by the panel. As the audience listened to the stories of these successful women, the male students gained a deeper understanding of the pervasive impact of sexism and the importance of supporting gender equality.
