Biodiversity Symposium

CBC hosted a successful Biodiversity Symposium that brought together learners and partners committed to environmental awareness and sustainability.

We were privileged to welcome participants from the Girls College Climate Action Club, the Dominican Convent Environmental Club, and representatives from the Environmental Management Agency (EMA), Amnesty International, Kusasa Hub, and Green Hut.

Throughout the symposium, guest speakers shared the purpose and impact of their organisations, highlighting the importance of youth involvement in addressing environmental challenges. A strong emphasis was placed on the role young people play as future leaders and changemakers in promoting sustainable living and environmental responsibility.

Delegates also engaged in interactive group activities, including:

*designing environmental awareness campaigns
*creating slogans and mottos
*and proposing practical solutions to biodiversity challenges

These sessions encouraged creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, while deepening understanding of biodiversity conservation and sustainability.

The symposium proved to be a meaningful platform for dialogue, learning, and action, reinforcing the importance of environmental stewardship and the collective responsibility we share in protecting our natural world.

Hammer & Tongues Tournament | Harare

Our CBC First Team Eagles took part in the Hammer & Tongues Tournament in Harare this past weekend, competing against strong opposition in a challenging and competitive environment.

The matches provided important lessons in resilience, decision-making, and teamwork under pressure. The squad continued to compete with commitment and determination throughout, representing the College with discipline.

Opportunities like these are an important part of the journey — building character, sharpening standards, and preparing the team for the demands of the remainder of the season ahead.

We thank the players and coaching staff for their effort and commitment, and we look forward to seeing the growth that will come from this experience.

Volleyball - Provincial Bound!

Congratulations to our CBC U17 Volleyball Team on a strong performance at the Imbizo District Games, where they finished as District Runners-Up and secured qualification for the Provincial Competition.

The boys showed great determination, teamwork, and resilience throughout the tournament, competing strongly against tough opposition and earning their place among the top teams in the district.

We are proud of the way they represented the College both on and off the court, demonstrating the character, discipline, and commitment that define CBC sport.

Congratulations to the players and coaching staff on this achievement. We wish the team every success as they prepare for the provincial stage.

Matabeleland Honours for CBC Hockey

We are delighted to congratulate our CBC boys who have been selected to represent Matabeleland U16 Hockey.

To earn the opportunity to represent Matabeleland is a privilege, and we have no doubt that they will wear their provincial colours with pride while continuing to embody the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, and excellence that are synonymous with CBC.

We congratulate each of the selected players, their coaches, teammates, and families on this wonderful achievement.

We wish the boys and the entire Matabeleland U16 Hockey team every success in the competitions ahead.

Well done, gentlemen. Your CBC family is proud of you.

From CBC to Province to Country

Following the recent provincial and national rugby trials, we are proud to celebrate the achievements of our CBC rugby players who earned selection to represent Matabeleland, with two of our boys going on to gain selection for Zimbabwe.

Being chosen to represent your province is a significant accomplishment and reflects the commitment, hard work, and perseverance shown by these young men throughout the season so far. To then progress to national selection is an outstanding achievement and one that deserves special recognition.

We congratulate all of our Matabeleland representatives for their efforts and for the manner in which they represented both the province and the College. We are especially proud of our two Zimbabwe representatives, whose selections are a testament to their dedication and the support of their coaches, teammates, and families.

At CBC, sport is about growth, character, discipline, and striving to be the very best version of yourself. These selections are a wonderful reflection of those values in action.

Congratulations, gentlemen. Your CBC family is proud of you.

We wish all Zimbabwe representatives every success in the competitions ahead.

The coffees are brewing, milkshakes are being whipped up and bacon & egg rolls, hot dogs, boerewors rolls and other delicious goodies are on the go at our Grade 7 Soccer Festival! Come down, warm up with some delicious treats and support some good ol' schoolboy soccer!

CBC IDENTITY SERIES - Rooted in a Global Tradition

Christian Brothers’ College is part of a global Edmund Rice tradition that began in Ireland in the early 1800s with a simple but powerful mission — to educate and uplift young people through faith, dignity, and opportunity.

From those early beginnings, the mission has grown across continents and generations, reaching Zimbabwe in 1953 and continuing to flourish here in Bulawayo today.

At CBC, we are not simply continuing a history — we are living a purpose: forming young men of character, service, and integrity in a changing world.

Whether you are supporting a team, enjoying the atmosphere, connecting with other families, or simply coming to experience CBC in action, we look forward to welcoming current and prospective CBC families for what promises to be a fantastic morning of schoolboy football, community spirit, and the formation of young men.

Formation in Action.
