About the chaplaincy program
1. by the school community and the appropriate governing authority for the school (where applicable) as having the skills and experience to deliver school chaplaincy to the school community, and
2. through formal ordination, commissioning, recognised religious qualifications or endorsement by a recognised or accepted religious institution
School chaplains support the emotional wellbeing of students by providing:
- pastoral care services, and
- strategies that support the emotional wellbeing of the broader school community.
Pastoral care is defined in the agreement with the Commonwealth as the practice of looking after the personal needs of students, not just their academic needs, through the provision of general spiritual and personal advice.
