PRAYER
Lord Jesus,
you were born in the Virgin Mary,
the daughter of Saints Joachim and Anne.
Look with love today on Grandparents the world over.
Protect them! They are a source of enrichment for families,
for the Church, and for all of society.
Support them! As they grow older,
may they continue to be for their families,
strong pillars of Gospel faith,
guardians of noble domestic ideals,
and living treasuries of sound religious traditions.
Make them teachers of wisdom and courage,
that they may pass on to future generations
the fruits of their mature human and spiritual experience.
Amen
From the Principal
Dear Parents,
Welcome to Term Three. It has been a good week and postive start to the term. We look forward to many exciting things that we have planned for the term.
Welcome to our International Students
This week we welcomed students from China and Taiwan. The students come from different parts of China and Taipei. They will be with us for between two weeks and seven weeks. Our students have enjoyed time introducing the students to new things and helping them to settle into our school.
Grandparent’s and Special Friend’s Day
We will celebrate Grandparent’s and Special Friend’s Day at St Philip’s next week, Friday morning, in recognition of the Feasts of Saints Joachim and Anne. This is a special time in our school year and one that allows time to for everyone in the community to gather and share time with our special friends. Everyone is welcome to our morning assembly at 9.00am prior to visiting the classrooms and engaging in learning activities with the children. Morning tea will be served at 10.30am in the Hall.
100 Days of School
Tuesday 30 July is the 100th day of school for 2024. The school will celebrate this day based on the theme ‘100 Days Brighter’. Students from all classes are invited to dress up for the day in either something bright and colourful or something that represents 100.
Celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation
A celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation will be held at St Philip’s Church on Tuesday 30 July at 7.00pm for some of our students and their families. Everyone is welcome to attend to support the children at this special time in their faith journey.
Student Learning Conferences
Student Learning Conferences are scheduled for Wednesday 31 July. Please book your time using the Parent Access Module (PAM). Children are expected to attend as well as this is an opportunity for students to reflect on their learning and share their future learning goals.
