This week has started well and students have se@led back into the structure and rou/nes of being a learner at CJC. Pupil Free Days - Monday 20th of April & Friday 1st of May On Monday all staff will be par/cipa/ng in level 2 First Aid and Asthma Training. Camp Australia will be running on Monday to support working families. Students will not a@end school on this day. The focus of professional learning for Friday the 1st of May is to implement a new report wri/ng program. Statement of Interna,onal Mindedness 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 ci/zens of our world. CALENDAR 2015 April 20th—Pupil Free Day April 23rd—senior cross country April –28th School Council Mee/ng April 24th—Whole school assembly for ANZAC Day at 9.15am May 1st—Pupil Free Day May 31—CJC Working Bee 2015 Term 1: 28 January to 27 March Term 2: 13 April to 26 June Term 3: 13 July to 18 September Term 4: 5 October to 18 December Noces sent home this week Grade 3 / 4 Camp Gr 1 /2 Healseville Sanctuary 1D—Class breakfast for 1D and 1E Anzac Day Ceremony Next Friday you are invited to a@end our Anzac Day Ceremony organised by Kris/na Du@on and Katherine Keily and lead by our student leaders. The assembly will be held at school on the Friday 24th at 9.15am. During this assembly, a member of the local RSL will come to present us with an oak seedling as part of the Gallipoli Oaks project. We are amongst 300 schools in Victoria who are receiving a seedling, which are 'grandparent trees' of acorns from Gallipoli. The process of receiving an oak seedling began five years ago when Katherine put in an applica/on. It is amazing when you think about the significance of a decision made five years ago, in applying for an oak seedling and to be fortunate to receive one in the 100 year commemora/on of the Anzacs. David Southwick our local member and the Leader newspaper will also be present. All students this week have been busy making poppies for a whole school wreath to mark the occasion. In addi/on, On ANZAC Day, students of Caulfield JuniorCollege have been invited by the Caulfield RSL to par-cipate in an inaugural march down Glenhuntly Road preceding the Caulfield RSL Dawn Service at 4 St Georges 1 FRENCH SECTION ELECTIVE 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 na-onal 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 connec-on, 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 plan to aBend this event please email CJC on caulfi[email protected] advising the name of the veteran your child/children will be marching for. (Please mark the email - ABen-on: Kris-na) I would like to thank the year 5/6 student leaders and Kris/na and Katherine for their work to ensure that the Anzac Day Ceremony is a significant event for our school community.
