School Chaplain

Chaplaincy services in schools provide social, emotional and spiritual support to school communities. Chaplains are present in schools at the invitation of the Principal, in consultation with the local community, and with the support of the P&C Association.

Working with other members of the school’s support team, the chaplain cares for students struggling with issues such as difficult relationships with other children or family members, poor self-esteem, family breakdown, and depression.

The partnership between the school and the chaplaincy service, supported by local churches, businesses and community organizations, provides a network of local support and assistance. These positive relationships help young people to face difficult issues, and provide hope, connection, meaning, and purpose.

The chapliancy service is available to everyone in the school community regardless of thier religious beliefs.
