What a privilege it has been to step into the new role as Chaplain this year.

Chaplains have a special place in the school to come along side and check in, support, encourage and care for students.

Children and teenagers experience such significant growth and change throughout their school years. To think back and remember which teachers and other significant figures had an impact on you in school as you worked out the world, who you were, what you believe and what kind of person you wanted to be, is a humbling thought. It is true that it takes a village to raise a child. A child’s life can change when they receive support, love, grace and guidance from good role models. As Chaplain, it has been my goal to care for and support the students at Calvin, through lunch time groups, Veta Morphus, and regular check ins.

It is my prayer and hope that the students of Calvin will be able to reflect on their time here and be encouraged and thankful for the care, guidance, encouragement, love and support they have received.
