Models of Chaplaincy Services
Models of chaplaincy services provide a description of the types of programs and how they operate as part of chaplaincy services delivered at a school. These models are to be sensitive to and considerate of total range of cultural, spiritual and religious backgrounds and other belief systems represented in school community.
The Models of Chaplaincy Services that can be adopted by state schools may be one or a combination of:
The Pastoral Care Model - providing an additional dimension to school's care, guidance and support of students with spiritual, religious and/or ethical needs.
The Mentoring Model - acting as a role model for students and assisting in development of supportive relationships for, with and among students.
The Education Support Model - upon invitation participating as a guest presenter (along with presenters from a diversity of belief groups) when school's syllabus has content relating to study of religion or topics with religious themes.
