What is a school chaplain?
At Moggill State School, our Chaplain provides care and support to students, families, and staff as part of our school's wellbeing services. Chaplains are trusted adults who help foster a caring, inclusive, and supportive school environment.
A chaplain provides a safe and welcoming space where students can talk about challenges they may be experiencing, including friendship issues, family changes, grief and loss, anxiety, confidence, or other everyday concerns. Through listening, mentoring, and encouragement, chaplains help students build resilience, positive relationships, and social and emotional wellbeing.
Chaplains also support the wider school community by helping strengthen connections between students, families, staff, and local community organisations. They are an additional caring adult role model within the school and contribute to a positive school culture where every student feels valued and supported.
Participation in chaplaincy services is voluntary. Queensland school chaplains provide support that is respectful of the diverse beliefs, values, and backgrounds of all members of the school community.
