News from the PC!

The Garage Sale is this Sunday! Come along to buy some delicious cakes, sausages, second hand books, purchase something from the second-hand uniform shop and peruse the stalls from 9.30 on Sunday 22nd March at CJC.

The PC would like to welcome our new treasurer Otavio! Thank you Otavio for putting up your hand to join our PC. 

Events such as the upcoming Garage sale and Multicultural day can’t be done without you! Volunteering at CJC events is a great way to get involved in the CJC community and meet other families. There is a lot of support for new volunteers, and events always have a positive, fun filled atmosphere. Best of all, these events help us create a wonderful space for our children.  Links to volunteer at either event, even if only for an hour or two, are below.
