Chasely Paech - Ballandean State School

Champion Your Chaplain

I'm fundraising for...

Ballandean State School.  I have worked at Ballandean State school for 12 years and love this community and all I get to do with the students, parents and staff.  At Ballandean we weave Health and well being into every part of the curriculum.
Due to funding not being increased for the past 12 years we as a community are required to raise $7000/year to allow me to keep working at Ballandean.  If you can give just a little, it will go a long way in keeping me at this school. I would be grateful as I would hate to see hours cut and this community receive less support.

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.  

Giving back

Thursday 26th Sep
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.
