Our School Chaplains As the year draws to a close, it is a timely reminder to acknowledge the great work our Chaplains do within our schools and to thank these wonderful people who reach out to others with the love, care, and concern of Christ. We have a number of Chaplains appointed across our school communities who assist the principal and school leadership teams in delivering some of the pastoral care opportunities and Christian spiritualitycentered activities in schools.
Some of the many important contributions that Chaplains regularly make to our schools include sporting and cultural activities and programs before, during, and after school, as well as providing a listening ear and a caring presence for all students. Including those who are in crisis, those who just need a friend, those who are stressed and anxious,
or those who just want to have a chat – their network extends to the staff and parents too! Chaplains are often instrumental in preventing the ‘bruising and injury’ by being a safe and supportive influence to those who need it. They are worthy influencers in the areas of pastoral care and the spiritual dimension of life.
