VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

The St. Philip Christmas Social is a tradition that the school community looks forward to each year. It is a wonderful opportunity to gather together to celebrate the holidays and get to know other families at St. Philip. 

To ensure that we can continue this tradition, the School Council is seeking volunteers to plan and organize this event. Specifically, we are looking to create a committee of volunteers, with a committee lead. 

If you are interested in volunteering to help plan and organize this event, please reach out to the School Council as soon as possible at st.philip.school.council@gmail.com. Please indicate if you are willing to lead the committee, or you are volunteering to be part of the team. 

Hot Lunches with the Lunch Lady program

The St. Philip School Council is excited to announce that in addition to Jojo's Pizza on Thursdays, we will be offering hot lunch options through The Lunch Lady on Mondays, starting on October 24, 2022. 

There is a large menu available, with a variety of allergy-friendly options to choose from as well. 

Registration and ordering is completed through The Lunch Lady website. See the below poster for instructions to order and other details. 

If you have questions about ingredients, please contact The Lunch Lady at ottawawest.east@thelunchlady.ca.

Welcome Back to School! First School Council Meeting 09/27/2021 @6:30PM

 Hello and welcome to a new school year at St. Philip School:)  

Please mark your calendars for the very first virtual St. Philip Catholic School Council meeting of the year!

Monday September 27th at 6:30PM 
(Virtual Meeting using Google Meet)

**to receive a Google Meet invitation please email Shondra @ shondramclean@gmail.com to indicate you wish to attend.

All interested parents are invited to attend. At this meeting we will elect a new St. Philip Catholic School Council for the 2021-2022 school year.

Each Catholic School Council functions as an advisory body to the School Principal

and the Board and can make recommendations to the Principal or the Board on any matter.  

All Elected Catholic School Council members will:

●   participate in C.S.C. meetings, vote on issues as required

●   be committed to the improvement of the school

●   act as a link between the C.S.C. and the community

●   encourage the participation of parents from all groups and of other people within the school community

All parents are welcome to attend meetings throughout the school year.

You do not need to be a council member to attend meetings, any parent can do so.

Only elected members of a school council have voting privileges.  By checking off the box to become a "voting member at large" you will be able to vote on decisions made by council.  Please plan to attend a majority of meetings this year if you make this choice as we must have quorum in order to pass any votes.

Any executive position can be put to a vote at this meeting if there are more than one person interested in the position.  This year, the position of secretary is vacant at this time. All other positions have indicated they are willing to return if needed.  If you are interested in an executive position other than secretary, please contact Shondra McLean to discuss further.

Please see the 2021/ 2022 self nomination form located in the link below:

Forms can be submitted electronically to shondramclean@gmail.com.
