Chaplaincy in the Community

The National School Chaplaincy/Student Wellbeing Program (NSWP) at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, Hilton, supports students’ emotional wellbeing through pastoral care services. This initiative complements the school’s Christ-like relationships and inclusive practices, reinforcing the commitment to the dignity and wellbeing of each child. Programs like ‘Rainbows’ and ‘Peaceful Kids’ help children cope with trauma and build resilience. The school chaplain plays a crucial role in fostering trusting relationships with students, parents, and staff, ensuring a holistic approach to each child’s spiritual, physical, and mental wellbeing in a safe and familiar environment.
