Chaplain’s Chat
Dear Treeby families
My name is Coral Atkins. I will be providing Chaplaincy Services and pastoral care every Tuesday and Friday.
It’s so exciting to be starting at Treeby Primary School. I trust that families feel welcomed and are enjoying everything this school has to offer. It’s wonderful to see the progress that has been made and the ongoing development.
A big part of my role is to build relationships with the whole school community, including students, families and staff. I can meet with the community individually and in groups. I can provide support in the following areas:
- peer skills, communication skills and problem solving,
- self-esteem, self-regulation, resilience and self-care,
- hardship and food insecurity,
- significant changes in personal circumstances, family breakdown, grief and loss.
I can also run clubs, activities and programs aimed at helping students develop social and emotional skills.
If you would like more information regarding the School Chaplaincy service, please leave a message for me with the admin office or email: coral.atkins@youthcare.org.au . Alternatively, you can contact our Principal, Jane Wescott.
(If you would like to opt out of the Chaplaincy service, please go to the admin office to complete the ‘Chaplaincy Opt-Out’ form.)
