Parents' voice

Welcome Back to Term 2!

We have lots of events coming up in Term 2. Our first ever Africa Day, Mother’s Day celebrations and a planned CJC disco/Fête de la Musique event. You can register to volunteer below to assist us run these events.  For people who missed the PC’s Annual General Meeting and report at the end of Term 1, you can view the details in the presentation below to see the impact that PC makes to the School. 

Mother’s Day at CJC

On 10 May from 7.45am to 9am we will run a Mother’s Day breakfast and during the day our popular mother’s day stall for students to purchase their mum a special gift.  Save the date – tickets will be available to purchase closer to the date. We are also looking for another Mother’s Day breakfast coordinator to join our strong team of Dads running the event and volunteers to assist on the day with the breakfast.  The PC needs tall glass jars for our flower bouquets (ideally Passata jars or taller jars – no short jam jars please). You can donate them next to the PC Clothing Donation box. 

Dads can volunteer here to assist for the breakfast here:  Mother's Day Breakfast Sign up

Fête de la Musique: The PC plans to run a school disco to celebrate this event. 

CJC Parent’s Band: We have also formed a CJC Parent’s Band and the Band is looking for a keyboardist to join. The band has number of other talent musicians in its line-up including a bass guitar, guitar, singer, drummer and saxophone player. Send us an email to be put in touch. 

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. 

School Working Bee:  The next Working Bee is on Sunday, 5 May in the afternoon. The PC will put on a free BBQ in support of our volunteers. A list of key working bee items will be circulated by your Convenor ahead of time to make the afternoon as productive as possible. 

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:  Next term with cooler weather we will sell pain aux chocolate ($4) from Reverie Café after school from 3.30pm until 3.45pm.
