Hail Mary, Full of Grace,

Amen

Dear Families,
The month of May is significant as we reflect on the importance of Blessed Mother Mary in our lives. We recognise Mary as the most respected role model for her strength, compassion, loyalty, and openness to God.
I hope yesterday was a happy day for all mothers, grandmothers, special friends, and families.
Walk to School Day
Walk Safely to School Day 2026 is scheduled for Friday 22 May. This day promotes the health benefits of walking and road safety. We encourage all students and their parents and carers to walk to school on Friday 22 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.

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!
