School chaplaincy
SU QLD chaplains have been supporting Queensland school communities since 1990. Since this time, SU QLD has become the largest employer of school chaplains in Australia, with chaplains serving more than 800 school communities in Queensland.
School chaplains work in the areas of early intervention and prevention, and promote positive behaviours by providing social, emotional, spiritual and practical support for students. School chaplains help students find a positive way to deal with issues, ranging from family breakdown, to bullying, friendship, and peer complications.
