Year 7 2026 -
The Journey starts here
In order to prepare for the arrival of our newest CBC Gentlemen, it is important that we are provided with any up-to-date information that may help us to further understand your son and his needs. We aim to make every boy's transition into high school as smooth and welcoming as possible so that he has the best start to his CBC Journey! 
Please contact Registrar Emma Polain via email enrol@cbcfremantle.wa.edu.au should contact details or other information pertaining to your son's education change prior to Term 4 2025.
House Allocation
Allocations will be communicated on Friday 31 October.
We understand that House placement is important to families. While siblings will be placed in the same House and Mentor group, we appreciate your understanding that House requests can only be considered in exceptional circumstances.
Academic Testing
To gain a better understanding of student's academic capabilities, the College will conduct a series of tests covering both Literacy and Numeracy early in Term 4.
You will have received confirmation, and will receive a reminder leading up to your selected session.
Students should arrive 15 minutes early, entering via the Ellen Street gates to The Cloisters for check-in.
Students are required to:
- Wear their usual primary school uniform
- Bring a snack and water bottle for a short break during the session
There is no need for your son to prepare or study for these tests. At CBC Fremantle, we are committed to understanding and supporting each student's academic journey.
If your son is unable to attend, please email enrol@cbcfremantle.wa.edu.au.
Orientation Day – Monday 8 December 2025
All new Year 7 students are invited to attend from 8:30am to 3:00pm at CBC Fremantle.
For Students:
- Arrive: Between 8.00am- 8.15am in the Gym and go to your Head of House to sign in.
- Wear: CBC House shirt and sports shorts (or House-coloured shirt if uniform not yet purchased).
- Bring: Recess, water bottle, and a hat, both labelled with name.
- Lunch: Sausage sizzle and drink provided (If you are concerned about allergies, please feel free to bring your own lunch).
- Haircut: On Orientation Day, students will have their photos taken for Smartriders and SEQTA ID before the commencement of the 2026 school year. We strongly encourage boys to have a ‘CBC haircut’ in preparation for Orientation Day. A CBC haircut is short (off the ears, off the collar and out of the eyes, if they can tuck their fringe behind their ears, it’s too long), neat, and not shaved below a number 3. Any difference in hair length needs to be blended in rather than a radical length change. If this cannot be done for Orientation Day, it is a requirement for Day 1 of Term 1 that haircuts are appropriate to commence the school year.
For Parents:
- Parents are requested to stay for the first part of the day until 10:00am.
- During this time, parents will receive important information and have the opportunity to meet key staff.
- Parents are welcome to stay for morning tea afterwards.
