Two school chaplains are employed to work in partnership with teachers and parents to support our student’s spiritual, social, and emotional wellbeing. They work closely with the school to plan for and deliver student wellbeing services. They provide students, their families and staff with support when students are facing personal or emotional challenges or difficult situations. The chaplains assist teachers in Year 5 and Year 6 classrooms one day per week. They also assist in the playground.
