Hi APS!
My Name is Caleb and I have the privilege to be the YouthCARE chaplain here at our beautiful Albany Primary School.
So what does a YouthCARE Chaplain actually do? Good question. My role is to offer pastoral support for students, families, and staff. This means that I am here to listen compassionately and provide a supportive place to talk within the school in a confidential and non-judgmental manner. I am also often running programs for smaller groups based on the YouthCARE values of: respect, service and compassion. I am actively involved in supporting events around the school and encourage a culture of both Kindness and Resilience in line with our PBS (Positive Behaviour Support).
I am on site Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. If you see me around make sure to come and introduce yourself- as I am always up for a chat.
Take care everyone
Caleb Drage
