SU Chaplaincy Survey – Sept. 2022

/in , ,

Dear Supporter of Scripture Union,

You may be someone who has faithfully supported and advocated for the vital work of chaplaincy in Australian schools. This is why I’m reaching out to you today. Following Education Minister Jason Clare’s comments earlier this year offering schools the option of a Student Welfare Officer or a School Chaplain, the Australian Government has commissioned an independent review into the National School Chaplaincy Program.

As part of that process, they invite key stakeholders to share their honest experiences and opinions on the program to help them shape the service going forward. You and I know, that chaplaincy is widely supported and cherished in our communities throughout our nation, but our new Federal Government needs to know that too.

Will you once again help advocate for your chaplains and the communities they serve by completing the “Have-Your-Say” survey following?  After clicking and landing, please read the introduction page, and click on the small arrow at the bottom to continue

    • Share this survey with your church and family networks.

Thank you once again for your support and your heart to see more children, young people and their families discovering life through the support of trusted and qualified school chaplains who model the love and compassion of Jesus in our school communities.

You are such a blessing to us all.
