PRAYER
Almighty ever-living God,
increase our faith, hope and charity,
and make us love what you command,
so that we may merit what you promise.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
From the Principal
Dear Families,
Welcome to Week 4. The students have well and truly settled into routines and are fully engaged in learning.
Twilight Sports
Everyone is looking forward to our annual twilight sports which is scheduled for Thursday 12 November. Students are practising and preparing for their individual events and are looking forward to a night of competition and team spirit.
As always, for such events, we rely on the wonderful support of our families. If you can help in preparing the oval before the event, or cooking the sausages on the night, I ask that you please contact the office.
Report Writing Day
A reminder that the school is closed next Monday for report writing. Students' reports will be available on the Parent Access Module (PAM) on Monday 7 December.
Hats in Term 4
A reminder to families that in accordance with our school’s SunSmart Policy all students are required to wear their school hat during Term 4. Students will be required to remain undercover in the canteen area during recess and lunchtimes if they are not wearing the school hat.
Warm regards,
Michelle Worcester
Principal
Italian Day
Italian Day is planned for Friday the 6th of November. We will have an Italian magician called Luigi Zucchini performing for us on the day, pizza and gelato for lunch, a costume parade in the morning and fun Italian themed activities during the day. All children are invited to dress as someone or something Italian on the day or in the colours of green, white and red. I invite the parents to join us at the start of the day for our costume parade. I’m looking forward to a fun Italian Day for all!

DIVISION ATHLETICS
Congratulations to Francis and Aria who proudly represented St Philip's recently at Division Athletics. Competing against students from 48 different schools in our division, Francis and Aria demonstrated a positive mindset, determination and integrity in their approach to the competition. We are thrilled to announce that Francis finished 4th in U11s Boys long jump and Aria finished 6th in U10s Girls shot put. A fabulous achievement, congratulations to them both.

Tuck Shop
Tuckshop is open most Fridays, 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.
