Ivan Pollock has recently been appointed as School Chaplain of Melton Secondary for 2017. He will be focusing on Student Support, Brekky Club and our ‘Hands On’ learning program.
Ivan comes from a lifetime in the retail hardware & paint sector and has many years {approx. thirty} working with young people through Youth Groups, Rangers and as Chaplain the last two years at Melton South Primary.
Ivan commented that an essential ingredient of being a Chaplain is being able to respect the many different cultures and faiths found within our school community. He also said that one of his priorities is encouraging students to accept each other’s differences and to respect those differences!
He said that a major area for him would be assisting staff with building student connections and enhancing a sense of community within the college.
Asked, why Chaplaincy? Ivan said that one of his passions was seeing our young people being able to reach their full potential.
