The Parent’s Committee will hold our Annual General Meeting on Friday, 22 March from 9 – 10.30. At the AGM we will report on our profit and loss for 2024, election of officer holders and fundraising goals for 2024. All welcome. Zoom details below if you cannot attend in person and wish to dial in. 

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,  are not stained or  contain holes as they are unsuitable for sale. 

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. 

Friday Treats: On 22 March in celebration of Purim, HIP will supply Hamantaschen from Glicks as well as our usual 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. 

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
