Chaplain
Chaplain News
What a great start to the year it has been. Over the past few weeks, I have concentrated on these key areas:
- Relationship building and pastoral care conversations
- Breakfast Club
- Helping out with school events such as new parents’ afternoon, homework club & the Blue Edge Program
As a school chaplain, my role is to provide emotional, spiritual and social support to the students and wider school community. One of the ways I provide support is with one-on-one pastoral care conversations. If you would like me to provide support for your child, please email me at katki121@eq.edu.au.
Breakfast Club started in week 3. Breakfast Club will operate on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:15-8:45 am. This is an excellent way for the students to engage with one another over food or milo and doesn't cost them anything. If you want to volunteer for this, please feel free to email me.
If you want to help out the chaplaincy service here at RVSSC, you can do that by volunteering at Breakfast Club, giving financially by donating by following this link: https://www.suqld.org.au/donate/ripley-valley-state-secondary-college-chaplaincy-tax-deductible/. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible.
Another way you can help is to join the Local Chaplaincy Committee (LCC) that meets roughly once a term and oversees the chaplaincy service both here at RVSSC and the primary school. The Local Chaplaincy Committee is the supporting and guiding body behind the Chaplaincy Service, helping to shape it to meet the school community's wellbeing. If you would like to attend and be a part of the committee, we have our next meeting on Thursday the 6th of May at 4 pm at the primary school.
Scripture Union Queensland, the organisation that employs the chaplains here in Ripley Valley and hundreds of other schools across Queensland, is also a camping organisation. If you are looking for something for your child to do over the holidays, please follow the following link. https://sucamps.org.au/?season=autumn
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via email.
Take care
