Most glorious King,
blessed are You Who continuously comes to us,
leading the way to Heaven. Hosanna in the highest!
As I begin this most Holy Week, commemorating Your gift of salvation,
I pray that this commemoration will also be a real and transforming
participation in Your life, death, and resurrection.
Thank You for redeeming us, dear Lord.
Please open my heart to receive Your grace fully. Jesus, I trust in You.
Amen
From the Principal
Dear Families,
As Term One comes to an end I express my gratitude to all staff for their ongoing commitment and dedication to our students and families. It has been a positive and productive term with all students settling into classroom routines and engaging in teaching and learning activities. Helping our students to develop a sense of belonging and connectedness to our school community is a significant focus during Term One. Our celebration of Harmony Day enabled our students to learn that we are all different and it is important that our relationships with others are based on respect.
Holy Week Prayer Service
We will gather for our Holy Week prayer service on Thursday at 9.00am in the Hall. All families are welcome to join us in prayer.
Easter Raffle
Thank you to all families who donated to the Easter Raffle. The raffle will be drawn at assembly on Thursday at 12.30pm just prior to the end term.
I take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support and wish you all a safe and happy holiday.
Michelle Worcester
Principal

Tuck Shop
Sticky Beak Lunch wallets now available to purchase from the office
Cost $15.00 each
"We would love to welcome all the new families starting at St Philips this year. Our Tuck shop is a highlight of the week for the children. They love seeing their parents during lunchtime counter sales! Lunch orders are taken in the morning and delivered to classrooms ready for lunch time. Over lunch time, we have snacks and treats available for sale over the counter. If you are able to spare 1 or 2 sessions per term to volunteer, we would love to hear from you! Full training will be provided. Each volunteer session is from 11:30 - 2.30pm, working in a pair. See below for contact details.
Tuckshop is open every Friday, we are very fortunate to have our tuckshop run by parent volunteers for the students enjoyment. This would not be possible without our small team of committed volunteers showing up week after week.
Please reach out to Clara on 0449 767 020 or Angi on 0431 021 711 if you can help. We appreciate your support.
How to submit a lunch order:
1. Purchase a lunch bag (sticky beaks bag) from the office or provide a paper bag.
2. Write your lunch order on the bag label or paper bag, along with the cost - refer to the latest tuckshop menu
3. Please include cash for the order- exact change is appreciated.
Don't forget to send some extra money if your child wants to order a snack over the counter at lunchtime!
Playgroup
Entertainment books are another piece to our fundraising puzzle. When you sign up you receive 12 months of discounts and offers - and our school benefits - 20% of every membership purchased goes to support our school!
