PRAYER
Lord Jesus, You are my help,
For anyone who comes to You Will not be turned away.
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Amen.
From the Principal
Dear Families,
Welcome to the new term and the warmer and sunnier weather that Spring brings. As we work through the next few weeks, we pray that our school will continue to be a place where the presence of God supports and guides us. We pray that we will be filled with the Holy Spirit and continue to show our love for each other as one Catholic community. Throughout the term, our students will have many opportunities to grow, learn, challenge each other and contribute to our school community, creating lasting memories as members of St Philip’s School.
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!
Mrs Maria Cannarozzo
Footy Day
A fun filled day where we cheer on our favourite team and enjoy activities.
