ANZAC Day Ceremony
On Friday 24th of April our year 5/6 student leaders, supported by Kristina Dutton and Katherine Keily lead the
Anzac Day Ceremony. Claire Halse taught the junior
school to sing ‘I am Australian’, which they lead the
whole school in singing. All students made poppies that
created three beautiful wreaths. David Southwick our
local member and Tony Murray a representative from
the Caulfield RSL shared information and personal stories
with us as part of the ceremony. I spoke about the Gallipoli Oak, which David Southwick presented to our students leaders. We were joined by parents and local residents who stopped what they were doing to watch the
Anzac Day Ceremony.
At Caulfield Junior College it is an
understanding that students will develop the knowledge
and skills to appreciate our own and other people’s
cultures; exploring differences and embracing them in
order to become responsible citizens of our world.

all students. It also has a Student Wellbeing component
that will support our Student Wellbeing Team in monitoring the emotional and social learning of students.
NAPLAN

numeracy (NAPLAN) tests will be held on 12, 13 and 14

participate in tests for reading, writing, language conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy.
Years 3 & 5 teachers have been exposing students to
different aspects of NAPLAN such as timed tests and looking at and talking about the tests in terms of understanding what questions are asked, the meaning of words and
phrases and text type structures. If you have questions
about NAPLAN please see you child’s teacher.
Year 3/4 camp
Years 3/4 will be going on camp to Forest Edge from the

ANZAC DAY
On ANZAC Day, students of Caulfield Junior College have been
invited by the Caulfield RSL to participate in an inaugural
march down Glenhuntly Road preceding the Caulfield RSL
Dawn Service at 4 St Georges Road.
Everyone is invited and encouraged to take part in this event
which will include a march honouring those fallen, hymns,
prayers, laying of wreaths, the Last Post, a period of silence,
the Reveille, and both the Australian and New Zealand national anthems will be sung. The parade will be led by two members of the Light horse Brigade followed by a drum corps playing military solos from CBC St Kilda.
Parents are encouraged to watch on, while students march in
the parade in honour of a family member or friend. If there is
no family connection, students are encouraged to research a
local community member using the following database:
https://www.aif.adfa.edu.au
The march, which extends from Orrong Road to St Georges
Road, commences at 6.30am and the Dawn Service commences at 7.00am. Best vantage points are along Glenhuntly road
between Orrong and St Georges Roads. Students are asked to
muster on Orrong Rd at 6.00am
If you are attending, please meet Kristina at 6am at Orrong Rd
as per above.

MOTHERS DAY STALL
The parents committee will be holding our mothers day stall on Friday 8th May. We need volunteers to help prewrap, set up, assist the children and then pack up the stall. Its a great morning to be a part of and we are normally
all packed up by 1:30pm. You can stay the whole morning or volunteer for an hour or so. Please email Leonie to
offer your time. [email protected]
CLASS CONVENERS
Class convenors play a very important role in the school community. We need one for each class (or it can be a
shared role). The idea is that the class has a get together once a term so that families can get to know each other.
The class convenor also assists in putting together class lists for parents so they can organise play-dates and make
contact with other kids in their class. Class breakfasts and class pizza parties have become popular events at CJC.
Please contact Emma if you're interested in the position or if you have any questions about the class convenor role
([email protected]). Please also let your child's teacher know if you are taking on the role.
The classes still needing class convenors are: 2F, 2G, 3D, 4E, 5/6A and 5/6B.
MOTHERS DAY STALL

soi à travers la mise en scène de textes français. Des interventions sous forme d'ateliers pédagogiques, des prestations individuelles ou en groupe élargi, au terme desquelles la restitution se fait en spectacle vivant. Un moyen de
donner libre cours à votre imagination et à votre liberté d'expression, tout en explorant la culture française et en
partant à la rencontre de vos potentialités.
Vous recevrez un certificat d’expression orale attestant de votre participation aux ateliers.
Ateliers du matin (11h -13h) ou du soir (18h-20h), ouverts aux personnes de plus de 18 ans ayant au moins un niveau
B2 en français, et aux locuteurs natifs.
Les ateliers seront organisés dans les locaux de l’Alliance française de Melbourne à St kilda, 51, Grey street.
