What is a school chaplain?
School Chaplaincy provides an effective means of meeting the holistic wellbeing needs of students and the wider school community.
They provide social, emotional and pastoral support to school communities with the main focus being that of prevention and support - helping students find positive ways to navigate challenges ranging from family breakdown and loneliness to friendship difficulties and mild mental health concerns.
Chaplains provide a listening ear and a caring presence for children and young people who are experiencing a crisis, as well as those who simply need someone to talk to. They also provide support and care for staff and parents, recognising that the wellbeing of the whole school community contributes to the wellbeing of our students.
The Chappy program at MSS extends beyond individual support, creating regular opportunities for students to connect, contribute and develop a strong sense of belonging to the MSS school community. Through our community events, programs and activities, the aim of chaplaincy is to ensure every child is heard and provided opportunities to develop a sense of connection and belonging.
