Chappy News
Friends of Chaplaincy
Hello!
We may have met, but in case we have not, let me introduce myself. My name is Roslyn and I am working as a Chaplain here at Ironside. Australians love to shorten names, so you will often hear Chaplain shortened to Chappy.
Chaplaincy has a long and rich history in Australia, and, indeed, across the world. It is a delight to be able to be part of the school community in this capacity. For now, it is sufficient to say that I am a member of the Student Support team and provide practical, social and emotional support to the school community.
Breaktime Chappy Craft
On Tuesdays and Thursdays during term, there is craft offered to the children: Tuesdays (Prep to Year 2) G Block, and Thursdays 1st Break (Years 4-6) in the Hall, and in 2nd Break (Years 3-4) in B Block.
If you think your child may enjoy this, please encourage them to come or contact me at roslyn.tayler@suchaplaincy.org.au.
‘Friends of Chappy’ Breakfast
On Thursday May 14, 7 30 am, I will be hosting an informal breakfast in the Hall of Christ Church Anglican Church, 41 Central Ave. The purpose of the breakfast is to gather those who have supported me in the last year and continue the dialogue regarding how we can partner with the Ironside State School staff to raise thriving children. The school motto is Servabo Fidem, which has been variously interpreted:
I will be trustworthy.I will keep faith in humanity.I will be honourable.I will not give up faith.
So perhaps we could say, how we can assist the school community to raise trustworthy, honourable and faith filled children.
If you would like to attend, please reach out.

Food Security
Sometimes we can find ourselves in a tight spot, and it can go on longer than we hoped.
Please see below local resources that can be accessed, directly or with the help of the Ironside Student Support team.
- With referral, Thread Together, St Andrew’s Anglican Church (89 Fairley St, Indooroopilly) provides choices of free new clothing in a shop-like environment.
- Street Care Inc, St Andrew’s Anglican Church (89 Fairley St, Indooroopilly) provides access to very low cost, nutritious food for individuals and families experiencing financial hardship.
A local community group has generously made money available to provide groceries, gift cards or other practical needs to Ironside families.

Have a wonderful weekend, and Happy Mother’s Day.
