Our school Chaplain provides social, emotional, spiritual and practical support to students, families and staff at Kurwongbah State School.
The Chaplain offers a safe, caring presence in the school community through pastoral care, mentoring, lunchtime activities, small group support, wellbeing programs and practical assistance. Students may connect with the Chaplain for support with friendships, confidence, family changes, grief and loss, bullying, anxiety, or simply when they need a trusted adult to talk to.
At Kurwongbah, chaplaincy also includes practical care programs such as Charlie's Fuel 4 School, our breakfast program, and Food 4 Kids, which provides lunch support for students when needed. The Chaplain may also assist families with practical needs such as access to school uniforms, stationery and other school-related essentials.
Our Chaplain also participates in whole-school events and school camps, helping to build connection, encourage student participation and support the wellbeing of students across different school settings.
Chaplaincy is available to all students and families, regardless of background or belief. Participation is voluntary, and support is offered in a respectful, inclusive and caring way.
