PRAYER 

God, my Father,

May I love You in all things and above all things.

May I reach the joy which You have prepared for me in Heaven. 

Nothing is good that is against Your Will,

and all that is good comes from Your Hand.

Place in my heart a desire to please You 

and fill my mind with thoughts of Your Love,

                                       so that I may grow in Your Wisdom and enjoy Your Peace.                                                               

From the Principal

Dear Parents,

It has been a positive start to the term for all students and staff. We have certainly been blessed with beautiful weather, however the mornings are now starting to feel quite chilly. From next week, students should be wearing their winter uniform. A reminder that you are able to purchase second hand uniform items from the office.

St Philip’s Feast Day

Tomorrow we will celebrate the Feast of St Philip the Apostle. Our celebration will begin when we join the parish community for mass at 9.00am. Following that, students will engage in a range of activities that have been planned for the day and they will be offered a slice of pizza and an icy-pole. Students are invited to wear a splash of red tomorrow in recognition of St Philip’s robe at the Last Supper.

Mother’s Day Breakfast & Prayer Service 

The Mother’s Day breakfast will be held next Tuesday, 6 May from 8.00am in the Fr Arnold Centre. This is always a special occasion, a time when mothers, grandmothers, aunts and special friends can gather for a light breakfast and catch-up. Bookings can be made via Trybooking using the link https://www.trybooking.com/DBJAP

Swimming Program Prep - Yr 4

Our Prep to Yr 4 students will be participating in a 1 day Water Safety Program at Just Swimming- Aqualink Nunawading on Wednesday the 14th of May. Permission slips 

will be emailed through PAM.

Walk Safely to School Day Friday 16 May

The national Walk Safely to School Day encourages all primary school children, their parents and carers to walk safety to school. This day also promotes the health benefits of walking and road safety. We encourage all students and their parents and carers to walk to school on Friday 16 May. If you must use the car we encourage you to park some distance away and walk the rest of the way. Students will be offered a fruit snack when they arrive at school. 

School Assembly

Listed below are this term’s assembly dates. As always parents and carers are welcome to attend our school assemblies at 9.00am in the Fr Arnold Centre. This term’s assembly roster is as follows:

Enrolments are now open for 2026. Enrolment forms are available via email or from the office for families of children who will be commencing school next year. 

Warm Regards,
