Boys Group

Chaplaincy has been running for at least 9 years at MSC. Gerard has been in the space for the last 6 years and is finishing up this week. As part of the Wellbeing Team, Gerard has been running a year 9 boys group. Dylan O’Shanassy is taking this group over and it is with much gratitude that this program will continue on for the sake our students into the future.

The aims have been:

  • To help each student understand and experience that there are ‘no limits’ to their potential for good.
  • Develop Positive Character traits which will benefit themselves and others around them.
  • To assist students to discover the value and importance of appropriate behaviours and attitudes through the action reflection model of Experience/Adventure Based Learning. 
  • To empower and encourage students to make healthy decisions.

Gerard will remember his time with appreciation of the positive connections made with students and staff at Maffra Secondary College.

Here are some pictures of our last boys group excursion: (the hand represents our agreement to be responsible for ourselves and is signed as a commitment to each other)
