Parents' voice

Dear CJC community,

Class Whatsapp Groups:  Now that we have the Class Lists, your class convenor will establish a Whatapp group for your class (or classes for students in the Binome). Only contact numbers that are on the offical class list can be added to the Whatapp group. If you did not give consent in the annual student agreement to disclose your number you will not be added to the Whatsapp group. If you would now like to be added, you will need to contact the office to give your consent or complete the agreement in Compass if you have not done so. Your Class Convenor cannot add you until your number is on the offical class list.

2nd hand Uniform Shop: Thank you to the 2nd Hand Uniform team that spent their Tuesday morning getting the shop spick and span. The next 2nd hand uniform shop stall will be run at the CJC Garage Sale. Donations to the shop can be placed in the basket near the stairs in the main building. Please make sure that donated items are washed before being donated and do not contain any stains or holes as they unsuitable for sale.

CJC Garage Sale, Sunday, 17 March:     The successful CJC Garage Sale is back for 2024. CJC Parent committee will hold the yearly CJC Garage sale on Sunday the 17th of March 2024. If you are a CJC parent or community member who would like to sell your extra items or you are a CJC parent with a business to promote, this is the place for you (sites $30 for CJC community/families and $50 for businesses). The very popular student business corner will be back again too – tables are free for students.
