Chaplaincy Program
Macquarie Care is proud to support the School Chaplaincy program in the Newcastle region, providing chaplains to schools in the area. These chaplains are highly trained and dedicated to helping students and staff navigate the challenges and pressures of school life, providing pastoral care and support to all backgrounds and faiths.
Through this program, Macquarie Care works closely with school communities to create a positive and inclusive environment where students can thrive. Our chaplains offer a listening ear, a friendly face, and a safe space for students to explore their emotions and develop deeper levels of resilience.
We believe that school chaplaincy is an essential program that plays a vital role in promoting student well-being and success. By supporting students and staff in this way, we are helping to build a stronger, more resilient community for all.
