Chaplain News
I hope you all had a nice Easter holiday break.
Welcome back to a new school term!
Pastoral Care
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
Breakfast Club will start up again in Week 3 and will operate every Tuesday and Wednesday from 8:15-8:45 am. If you want to volunteer for this, please feel free to email me. Thank you to all of those who have volunteered thus far.
Chaplaincy Committee
The Local Chaplaincy Committee is the supporting and guiding body behind the Chaplaincy Service to meet the wellbeing of the school community. If you would like to attend and be a part of the committee, we have our next meeting on Thursday the 18th of May at 4pm. If you want any more information, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
The Resourceful Adolescent Program (RAP)
From Week 3 to Week 8, I will be running a Resourceful Adolescent Program (RAP) for Year 7 and Year 8 students. RAP is a resilience-building program that aims to prevent the development of depression and other emotional problems in teenagers. The program is strength-based and positively focussed, and has been developed to be relevant to all teenagers. It engages participants to think about what it means to be resourceful, as well as develop new strategies that will build their resilience. RAP empowers teenagers to effectively deal with stress, conflict, and other difficulties, both now and in the future. The program addresses issues such as managing stress, managing emotions, building self esteem, promoting family harmony, and keeping the peace with others.
Take care
