Bastille Day/Fête de la Musique: The PC is looking for an event coordinator for the Bastille Day/Fête de la Musique festival in term 3 (separate to the school organised event on July 14th). This event is a celebration of CJC’s French connection, with delicious delights and music. Options for the event include crepes, raclettes and a student talent show. Currently, this event will not be going ahead without an event lead. The coordinator will be supported by the PC to organise the event and volunteers for the day.
