Parents' voice

We hope that everyone enjoyed the Father’s Day Breakfast at CJC today.  There have been so many events on in Term 3. These events do not happen without a lot of planning and energy from our community. We can can see from the long list of co-ordinators and volunteers that we are lucky to have such a wonderful community supporting the School and our children. 

Now for the long list of Thanks-you: The PC would especially like to thank the wonderful preparation team Marni Baker, Mathew Thompson and Inna Shteinberg.
