What is a school chaplain?
An SU QLD chaplain is a trusted, trained individual who works in our school communities to provide social, emotional and spiritual support to students, parents/carers and staff.
The school chaplain work in the prevention and support space, helping students find a better way to deal with issues ranging from family breakdown to loneliness to friendships and mental health. Provide a listening ear for our young people in crisis, and also to those who just need a friend. Run programs, activities and events to foster inclusivity and a positive culture in our school community.
School chaplains are unique and are NOT counsellors. They are however very qualified in many different fields. - How are we unique? They support conduit – connecting students, families, parents, staff to specialist services, medical services and community groups in consultation with School Principals and the Guidance Officers. Build relationships with students and staff and are a trusted adult in the school and in the classroom. Seen by students as an adult who is not a part of the school’s authority structure.
