Chappy Neo - Inglewood State School

Champion Your Chaplain

What could $5 a month do? More than you think.

☕For 1 coffee a month, you could:

  • Put a steady, caring presence in a small rural school.

  • Give a child someone safe to talk to before things spiral.

  • Support families and teachers carrying more than they should alone.

As all good farmers understand, like a crop, chaplaincy thrives with consistent support and long-term thinking. One-off donations help (please donate any amount you can), but monthly donations amount to a measurable and significant impact for years to come!

If enough people committed to a minimum of just $5 a monththe cost of one coffee, you could directly help:

  • Keep reliable chaplaincy hours at our school

  • More time spent with young people, families and staff who need support through difficult circumstances.

  • Build a sustainable chaplaincy role for years to come, not just for me, but for those who follow.

Your investment is sewn into the well-being of future generations in a community that looks after its own!

Be part of our community's legacy!
Be part of the solution!

👉Consider setting up a $5 monthly donation.

Small seed, consistently. Big impact, together.

My Updates

It All Starts with a Sausage...

Friday 27th Feb

I’m STOKED with the way this term has begun, stepping into chaplaincy across four unique school communities where consistent, relational support (strengthened by trusted local partnerships) is already making a meaningful difference for students, staff and families navigating complex challenges!!

 At Inglewood SS, I have been regularly referred & in contact with high-risk and disengaged students, many of whom come from displaced families or trauma-impacted backgrounds. My support has centred on strengthening emotional regulation skills, sitting with students in the consequences of their behaviour and supporting them to process them constructively, stabilising situations during crisis moments, and building safe, consistent relational connections that provide a sense of security within the school environment.

I've been facilitating engaging, high-energy youth-style challenges and games for the high school cohort in the mornings before school. These activities have been well received and have created positive connection points at the start of the school. 


I continue to connect with many of the more vulnerable and disengaged students beyond school hours through YourChurch Inglewood’s Sunday arvo youth group, where we provide a sossie sizzle, games & activities, and community outreach in the park or at the pool, further strengthening relational continuity and positive engagement. The number of meaningful conversations in the community through our street-side bbq has been a huge highlight for me to see and to continue to expect as we make an impact in the town of Inglewood!

As we step into a new month, I’d love to invite you to partner with us again and make a donation! Your continued support for Inglewood keeps our school community strong and supported.

Thank you to my Sponsors
