CBC alumni young and old gathered on Friday evening to celebrate three of the most outstanding among their ranks.
The annual All Ages Reunion is a highlight on the calendar for many of CBC's former students and staff, who relished the opportunity to relive the good old days at their former stomping ground.
Guests at this year's event spanned more than seven decades of CBC history, stretching from the Classes of 1950 to the Class of 2020, but all connected by the shared experiences of attending one of the oldest schools in WA.
Former and current teachers were well-represented at the event too, and were delighted to reflect on the antics the College's grounds have played host to over the years, as well as the adventures their past pupils have been on since graduating.
The special guests also had the opportunity to tour the College's campus and see just how much things have changed over the years, and to feel the rush of memories flooding back as they returned to the halls they once wandered daily.
The evening also celebrated the achievements of two outstanding young men and a brilliant teacher, who all capture exactly what it means to be part of the CBC community.
John Nolan ('76) was awarded the Brother Patrick Kelly Leadership Award in recognition for his decades of service to both the public and private sector, as well as his contributions to a range of community organisations.
Dr Jamie Beros ('08) was presented with the Rising Star Award, in honour of his ground-breaking research into brain development and the therapeutic applications of novel methods to treat neurological disorders and brain injury.
Ms Trevanna Cooper was presented the inaugural Make a Difference Staff Award in recognition of her decades of service to the CBC community, and the profound impact she has on everyone she meets.
Once formalities had concluded, the colourful gathering was left to reminisce, reflect and reconnect - an experience that was cherished even more than usual given the year gone by.
Ordinarily, the College holds the All Ages Reunion and Alumni Recognition Awards, as well as five, ten and 20 year reunions each year. Click here to register to receive details of upcoming events.
