CHAPLAINCY AT GYMPIE SOUTH SCHOOL
 
The role of a state school chaplain is to provide social, emotional and spiritual support to students, parents and staff. Sharon Marrington​ is our school chaplain and works at the school on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays each week.
 
Chaplains can assist with any of the following:
* Social and/or emotional support – assisting students to develop knowledge, understandings and skills that support learning, positive behaviour and constructive social relationships through social skills programs.
* Spiritual support – providing an additional dimension to the school's care, guidance and support of students with spiritual and/or religious needs.  
* Mentoring – acting as a role model for students and assisting in the development of supportive relationships for, with, and among students. 
* Community development – enhancing the links between the school and its community, working with school-based support staff and community-based youth organisations and networks to support students.  
* Educational support – assisting with classroom activities (under the direction of a teacher) where involvement by the chaplain/student welfare worker provides further social, emotional or spiritual support for those students who may be at risk of disengagement. 
* Extra-curricular activities – participating in general school activities such as camps, excursions or sports day.
