Piara Waters Senior High School engages YouthCARE to provide a school Chaplain. The Chaplain is available to provide positive support, life skills and leadership to the students and their families. The aim is to create and support a positive school culture through pastoral care and involvement in school initiatives.
The Chaplain works as part of the Student Wellbeing team - contributing to improving student wellbeing but does not hold a disciplinary role. They work under the YouthCARE ethics, and in conjunction with Department of Education policies and procedures. A key responsibility of the school Chaplain is to coordinate small group programs for targeted groups.
The school Chaplain at Piara Waters Senior High School is John Ryder.
• Seasons for Growth (grief and loss)
• Growing Good Blokes (mateship, respect, belonging and student engagement)
• DRUMBEAT (self-regulation and relationship development through music)
The chaplaincy service is confidential and can be accessed by students without prior permission from staff. Parent/guardian consent is required prior to sessions being arranged.
Piara Waters Senior High School respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we teach, learn and study – the Whadjuk Noongar people. As a school, we recognise the contributions of Aboriginal Australians and non-Aboriginal Australians to the education of the children and people in this country we all live in and share together - Australia.
