Chaplains support the social, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing of students and the broader school community. Their role is to provide a caring presence, a listening ear, and practical support to help students achieve their potential, both academically and in their social and family lives.

At South Coogee Primary School, the chaplain supports the school breakfast program, co-facilitates small group learning under the guidance of classroom teachers and runs the school Lego Club during recess and lunch breaks. The chaplain may also run targeted programs that build resilience, support students through grief and loss, and promote emotional wellbeing.

Our chaplain is available as a safe and approachable adult before school and during break times, giving students opportunities to self-refer whenever they would like someone to talk to.

This service reflects our commitment to ensuring every child feels supported, connected, and understood.
