PC news this week
One of PC’s roles at the school is to support our wonderful staff. This Monday is Principal’s Day and the PC has planned a morning tea for our three Principals, Mr Chant, Madame Pommier and Mr Borg, and all staff to recognize and celebrate the work that they do to make CJC an great learning environment for our children. Today is also the last day of the tireless, ever cheerful, snappily dressed, Carole Micciche, who assists the school in the office – thank you for all your support, Carole, and we hope you enjoy your new role closer to home! The PC has given her a present as a small token of our appreciation on behalf of the parents of the school.
