National Anthem

Australians all let us rejoice, For we are young and free; We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil; Our home is girt by sea; Our land abounds in nature’s gifts Of beauty rich and rare; In history’s page, let every stage Advance Fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair. Reading

Excerpt from How can I find God? by Joan Chittister.

God is not in the whirlwind, not in the blustering and show, Scripture teaches us.

God is in the breeze, in the very atmosphere around us, in the little things that shape our lives.

God is in the contradictions that assail us, in the circumstances that challenge us, in the attitudes that impel us, in the motives that drive us, in the life goals that demonstrate our real aspirations, in the burdens that wear us down, in the actions that give witness to the values of our hearts.

God is in the stuff of life, not in the airy-fairy of fertile imaginations bent on the pursuit of the preternatural.

God is where we are, including in the very weaknesses that vie for our souls.

“Therefore, everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a sensible person who build his house on rock. Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and hurled themselves against that house, but it did not fall: it was founded on rock”

St Philip’s College Prayer

O Lord our God, Creator of this universe and all life within it. In the quietness of this moment, as we come into your presence, O Father, we would remember the homes from which we have come and the families we have left. For some of us they are a long way from here. We would remember before you this College, especially Those who care for us, Those who teach us, Those who guide us. Give to them all, wisdom, a kind heart and a generous spirit. Be with each one of us and help us to STRIVE to be our best to SEEK to find the truth to CARE for ourselves, our friends and all who are around us. May we worship and serve you through our words and actions This day and forever more. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen. Hymn Lord, The Light Of Your Love

Lord the light of your love is shining In the midst of the darkness, shining: Jesus, Light of the World, shine upon us Set us free by the truth you now bring us, Shine on me, Shine on me,

CHORUS Shine, Jesus shine, - Fill this land with the Father’s glory, Blaze Spirit blaze – Set our hearts on fire. Flow, river, flow, - Flood the nations with your grace and mercy Send forth your word – Lord, and let there be light.

Lord I come into your awesome presence, From the shadows into your radiance: By the blood I may enter your brightness Search me try me consume all my darkness Shine on me, Shine on me,

CHORUS

As we gaze on your kingly brightness So our faces display your likeness, Ever changing from glory to glory, Mirrored here may our lives tell your story. Shine on me. Shine on me,

CHORUS School Song

We’re the school of the blue The red, gold and blue In the heart of this great land. We’ve gold to show the rising sun That heats our rich red sand. We’re proud that we shine In our nation’s soul The envy of each woman and man. We’re the Saints of the Centre And we’ll make you remember We’re winners and champions grand.

As the wild summer sun Fries the air at midday We withstand its hostile rays. We’re fired with compassion And move into action Solve problems that come our way. We’ve mountains to climb Wild bush to hike And damper to cook in the clay. We’re the team from St Pips And determined to grip Success in our own novel way.

It’s an enchanting world An exciting world We try to understand. We believe in the right To vote and be heard And save our environment grand. We lead with a careful responsible soul And achieve what we’ve thoughtfully planned. But we’ll cross the street In order to greet A person who needs a hand.
