This year I will be filling a role more or less still in its formative stages as chaplaincy/pastoral care trainee. Having finished Year 12 last year here at BHCS, I’m excited to be working with the staff I already have great relationships with, as well as hopefully utilising the opportunity to create and support the existing positive community.
What do you like to do for fun?
When a lot of people look at my schedule they get confused how I have time for myself but I like to think I’m not busy at all, they say do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. By that quote I’m under the impression I have the most amount of free time, filled with seeing people, building relationships, playing music in my band, attending church and working within the worship team, and my favourite, talking movies with customers at Cameo and volunteering on CYC holiday camps.
