                                              To you be glory and honour for ever and ever.

Dear Families,

School Advisory Council Annual General Meeting

I take this opportunity to thank the six parents who have been members of the School Advisory Council (SAC) this year. The SAC plays a significant role in supporting the spiritual and educational welfare of all students at St Philip’s. I thank them for their wisdom and ongoing support that they offer across all aspects of school life. In the coming weeks we will gather for the Annual General Meeting. Parents from all families are encouraged to attend the AGM and stay for a catch up following the meeting while enjoying a cup of tea or coffee or a glass of wine. Details of the date and time will be available next week.

Prep 2025 Orientation

Last week we had the first of our 2025 Orientation sessions. There are two more sessions planned for the new students to enable them to become acquainted with the school. They will also attend on Thursday 12 December when students from Grades Prep to Five will meet their 2025 classroom teacher.

School Assembly

The schedule for the class presentation  follows. 

Warm Regards,

Michelle Worcester

Principal

Fire Rescue Victoria - Fire Education

Today P/1 were lucky to be visited by our fantastic firefighters from Nunawading Fire Station. They gave us an interesting talk about how we can protect ourselves and our family in case of fire. We discovered the differences between good and bad fires and what to do to escape a fire- GET DOWN LOW AND GO ,GO, GO!!!

Firefighter Tom showed us all the protective equipment he wears while doing his job to keep us safe!!!

Cricket

The past few weeks we have all enjoyed learning about cricket and improving our skills with Max from Cricket Victoria. We’ve learnt the correct techniques for bowling and batting and have enjoyed playing Rapid Fire, Golden Child and Continuous Cricket! We are very excited to share the news that Nav got a Hat Trick in today’s match! Three wickets in three consecutive balls! Congratulations Nav; what a huge achievement!
