CHAPLAINCY

From the Chaplain

Term 3 has been a fun filled time at Kew High School.  There have been many exciting events and programs involving chaplaincy.

90th Anniversary of the Kew Cenotaph – On Sunday 30 August Year 8 Leader Dior Meaney-Liu and the Chaplain attended this significant community event. Dior was involved in presenting the floral tributes during the ceremony to the dignitaries Josh Frydenberg MP, Tim Smith MP, David Davis MP, Georgie Grozier MP, Ted Baillieu and Boroondara councillor Phillip Healey.  The event was coordinated by the Kew Rotary Club and Kew Remembers.

Lunch Time Homework Group – Each Thursday the Chaplain runs a lunch time homework group for year 7 and 8 students in room 106.  These are supervised sessions where students can get assistance.  Josephine Lake from year 11 has been assisting the students with their homework as part of her Duke of Edinburgh Award this year.

Chaplaincy Second-Hand Book and Uniform Shop –The shop is over flowing with clothing stock.  We all love a bargain so drop into the shop Tuesdays 12:20 – 1:10pm and you will find a huge supply of stock. Before you rush out and buy that new jumper you can send your child to the shop and our parent volunteers will help them find any needed uniform item from our large supply. Items can be put on hold for up to two weeks, payment can be made by cheque, cash, credit or EFTPOS. It couldn’t be easier to sort out uniforms and text books for your child, at up to half the price of purchasing items new.

 Chaplaincy Fundraising – Did you know that the Kew High School Chaplaincy does not receive Federal government funding?  Each year the Chaplaincy Committee and the School raise all of the funds to pay for the Chaplaincy program.  Thanks to the commitment of a wonderful group of volunteers, each year the Chaplaincy Committee raises over $38000.
