I hope you enjoyed the holidays and had some /me to
slow down, relax and spend /me with your family and
friends. This week has started well and students have
se@led back into the structure and rou/nes of being a
learner at CJC.

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.

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.
