Champion Your Chaplain

I'm fundraising for...

Ballandean State School – A Community That Cares

I’ve had the absolute joy of working at Ballandean State School for 13 years, and I love everything about this community - the students, the parents, and the incredible staff. One of the things that makes Ballandean so special is how we weave health and wellbeing into everything we do. It’s more than just a program - it’s part of who we are.

But here’s the reality: funding hasn’t increased in 12 years. To keep this support strong, our community needs to raise $7,000 each year so I can continue being here for our students and families.

Even a small gift makes a big difference. Your support helps make sure no hours are lost and every student continues to have someone in their corner.

If you can chip in, you’ll be helping keep the heart of Ballandean beating strong.

Chaplaincy Dinner

Saturday 27th Sep

I’m so thankful for our community and the way you continue to back chaplaincy in our schools.

The government provides about 70% of the funding for my role, but it’s the Granite Belt community that raises the other 30% to keep me at Ballandean. That means every apple juice labelled, every dollar given, and every event run is helping me be here for students, families, and staff.

For me, chaplaincy is about listening, supporting, and walking alongside people in both the good times and the tough ones. I couldn’t do this without your generosity and belief in the importance of having a chaplain at school.

Thank you for being part of the team that makes this possible. Together, we’re showing that our community truly values chaplains in schools.

What a blessing

Thursday 31st Oct
Last night we had our annual Chaplaincy dinner and what a huge night.  We had over 100 supporters come and support the 8 chaplains in our district.  The encouragment we received will certainly boost us on for another year.  Thank you to everyone who came and showed their support to this awesome part of school life.

Every three weeks we have a Community Breakfast.  This is a great time with the students, parents and community members join together for breakfast.  This Breakfast thanks to the support of donations from the local churches we were able to have warm porridge and milo.  What better way to start a chilly winter morning.

Thank you to my Sponsors
