About the Fund

Over 20 years ago a group of locals saw the need for counselling services for students and the school community through a Chaplain.  They set up the Chaplaincy Committee.  

That organisation is still going strong today supporting a Chaplain at the two Mirboo North schools, through on-going fundraising and donations.

This fund helps provide:

  • A welcoming, inclusive environment for all students

  • Support for young people navigating worries, challenges or change

  • Someone trustworthy to talk to during difficult moments

  • Guidance for students with disabilities, learning differences or wellbeing needs

  • Extra wellbeing programs across both schools

Every donation helps local students feel seen, supported and safe.

A supportive Chaplain

From the start Mirboo North Schools’ Chaplaincy  has financially supported the role of chaplain within the Primary and Secondary schools, where both principals see it as an integral part of their well-being programs.

Early on funds were raised primarily from sausage sizzles, stalls, auctions etc, but as the financial support from the government decreased, the demand for funds to keep the role at full time were increasing.

Mirboo North Schools Chaplaincy decided to open up to donations from the community.
A Mirboo North Schools’ Chaplaincy & Well-being Fund was set up within the Community Foundation, to receive donations and give tax deductible receipts.

 

Donate to the Chaplaincy & Wellbeing Fund

Donate

The Chaplaincy and Well-being Fund is not only committed to securing ongoing chaplaincy to both the schools but is also committed to assisting youth at MNPS and MNSC in other aspects of their well-being.

This includes providing a welcoming and inclusive learning experience for all students, whether you have a disability, a learning difference or need well-being support.

A donation to the Chaplaincy and Well-being Fund will have an impact on the well-being of the youth of our community
