Parents' voice

Last weekend the Parent’s Committee hosted hundreds of Matilda’s and Les Bleues watch the World Cup match. There was a wonderful atmosphere (and a few tears after the final penalty shoot-out). Thank you to all our volunteers who made this great event happen at the last minute.  A big thank you to all of the families that attended the Working Bee last Sunday too, the new garden beds look wonderful. 

Next week the Parent’s Committee have even more planned: 

1. A Stargazing Night penciled in for Tuesday from 6.30p-8.30pm at the school funded by our Science Week Grant! The night will be confirmed via Compass and your class convenor on Monday once we have the weather report. Please let us know if you can bring another telescope. All welcome and no need to register. All children must be carefully supervised as there will be no lights on at the school (no access to the playground equipment). Contact: caulfieldjuniorpc@gmail.com or contact Mr Lewis via Compass.

1. Father’s Day @ CJC -  Father’s Day Stall:  The Father’s Day stall with new and improved gifts will be held on Friday, 25 August.  Gift prices from $4 - $12.  We need more stall volunteers to help our children choose a special gift for their Dad or their special person. You can register to volunteer in shifts from 9 – 1pm:

Volunteering:  The Parent’s Committee will now use the Sign-Up online platform to manage and streamline volunteering at the school. In terms 3 and 4 we have a number of events planned where parent volunteers are needed and we hope that this new platform and advance notice will assist families to better plan when they might be able to volunteer at school: https://signup.com/go/hdjNbBk
