School Chaplain

Respect

Compassion

Service

​

Harvey Primary School employs a YouthCARE Chaplain. YouthCARE’s School Chaplaincy program provides an essential social, emotional and mental health support service. Having a focus on the wellbeing of students, parents and teachers makes a real difference to education outcomes. 

​

YouthCARE chaplains are there to listen and provide a supportive place to talk, offering confidential, non-judgemental pastoral care and programs based on respect, compassion and service. They form an integral part of schools by:

• Providing pastoral care for staff, students and families

• Linking schools with local community, support agencies and organisations

• Playing an active role assisting and supporting school events

• Facilitating pastoral support programs and resources

• Supporting, mentoring, encouraging and empowering the school community

​

Our YouthCARE chaplain is Kristi Crognale and she works at the school on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Kristi is available to talk, and offer support, to anyone within the school community.
