Parents' voice

We need you!

Dear CJC community,

It was lovely to meet all the new Class Convenors at our welcome breakfast this morning. We are still looking for a Class Convenor for 2B and 3/4B. Plans for the 2nd Annual CJC Garage Sale are well underway – more below. 

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). Please complete the registration form by clicking on the link or scan the QR code provided below. The registrations are open until Monday, 11th March.   The very popular student business corner will be back again too – tables are free for students.  We already have 12 student business tables registered. Students in our student business corner need to be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.    Please contact Anne-Sophie Aguado if you have any comments or queries on AnneSophie.aguado@yahoo.fr

We will also hold a BBQ, cake stall, pop corn and the 2nd Hand Uniform shop at the Garage Sale.  Cake packs will go home with your Eldest child in the week prior to the Garage Sale. Are you able to volunteer on the day to sell cakes and cook the BBQ? Please sign up here if you are able to help: Garage Sale Volunteer roster .docx

2nd hand Uniform Shop: The next second hand uniform shop will be at the Garage Sale on Sunday, 17 March. Donations to the shop can be placed in the basket near the stairs in the main building. Please ensure that donated items are freshly washed and do not contain any stains or holes as they unsuitable for sale.

Friday Treats: Friday treats are back and icy poles ($2) and pain aux chocolate ($4) from Reverie Café for sale after school from 3.30 until 3.45. The class roster for weekly volunteers from a nominated class will be circulated shortly now that class lists are available. 

2024 Events: Looking ahead, in 2024 we plan to run lots of great events: Bastille Day, Friday Treats, Mother’s & Father’s Day Stalls and Breakfasts, Diwali and the End of Year Party.   We would also like to run a school disco night (bringing back the 80’s school disco vibes) and an Africa Day in May – if you would like to coordinate or contribute to these events please let us know.  We also have some interested parents who would like to establish a CJC Parent Gardening Team.  Contact us at caulfieldjuniorpc@gmail.com
