From our Parents Commitee

              Africa / Dom Tom Day – Thank-You

Dear CJC Community, 

Thank you for helping and being part of Africa Day!  We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to all of the amazing children who shared their participation and made Africa Day a resounding success. We also want to extend our gratitude to the lovely parents who volunteered their time, effort and support.

A big thank you to Principal Chris Chant and Megan Barclay for going above and beyond and making this event happen. EFM for their collaboration and funding, David Smile elevated the party to the next level by bringing the vibrant African Vibe.   Thank you to Pascale Porquier-Fedele’s team for their amazing face painting. Arnaud Ramdoo and TiFi Dezil for sharing their Cultural Heritage through the mesmerising Sega Dance. 

A special shout-out goes to The Regis Brighton for their generous equipment donation of the bain-marie, which facilitated the delicious Mauritian Sweet and Dhal Puri provided by the best Mauritian food in Australia, Maussiefood Food Resto. 

To the wonderful CJC Community, a big THANK YOU! Without your participation, collaboration, and dedication, events like this would not be possible to achieve. Keep up the amazing work, and I wish you all a fantastic weekend. 

Clarel Philibert & Pascale Porquier-Fedele – Africa Day Coordinators. 

We also hope that our families enjoy celebrating Fête de la Musique this afternoon.Thanks you to Martine Inge & Marine Ors for envisaging and coordinating this event, as well as our excellent team of crepe makers, the Apparants Band, performers, and volunteers. All money raised will be used to upgrade the senior playground. 

Term 3

Olympics Bastille Day: on Friday 26th of July, children will celebrate Bastille Day and the Olympic Games during the day. After school, the whole school community is invited to stay at CJC to keep celebrating from 3:30 to 5:30pm. There will be some special sport demonstrations and initiations, sport challenges and relays, prizes to win as well as a yummy French food & drinks sale. If you want to volunteer or offer some French or sports related prizes, contact the Parents Committee!

Father’s Day Stall and Breakfast: The Father’s Day breakfast and gift stall will be held on Friday, 30 August. Details to follow next term. Please contact us if you would like to help coordinate either of these events. 

General Matters

Friday Treats:   We will sell pain aux chocolate ($4) from Reverie Café after school from 3.30pm until 3.45pm (except on Fête de la Musique when we will sell crepes). Profits from our sale on 28 June will be donated to the Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency as part of our contribution to NAIDOC week: Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency | VACCA 

CJC Families Facebook Group: Did you know that we have a CJC Facebook Group called CJC Families?  The page is used to inform our community of CJC Events, sell 2nd hand uniform, find a babysitter and more. The page is private, and you must be a CJC community member and answer the questions to join. 

EFM - Call for Volunteers: The EFM provides a range of francophone services to our CJC community, including running the ever-popular EFM after school activities. The EFM is looking for additional volunteers to support the management of these programs and other programs. Joining the EFM IS a great way to deepen your francophone connections at CJC and beyond. Please contact president@efm.org.au if you can assist. 

Gardening Club:  We also have some interested parents who have established a CJC Parent Gardening Team to assist Madame Wilson’s STEM and Garden Program.  Contact us at caulfieldjuniorpc@gmail.com  

For all parents and carer’s wishing to volunteer at the school it is essential that you obtain your Working With Children Check – you can apply on line here and it is free for volunteers: Working with Children Check (service.vic.gov.au)
