Breakfast Club in Parliament 🥞

Last week in Canberra, CEO Sarah Reimann and Senior Regional Manager John gathered for the annual Breakfast Club in Parliament - an event hosted for the Parliamentary Friends of School Chaplaincy.

Across Australia, more than 1,500 chaplains serve in 2,000 public schools - providing over 2 million meals each year and countless moments of care, connection, and hope.

Student wellbeing needs continue to rise across our schools, and our pastoral care workers in South Australia are bridging the gap for teachers and principals - offering support, mentoring, and guidance to young people as they navigate life’s challenges.

We greatly appreciate the support of the role played by chaplains in their school communities that are really making a difference. 💛

What a weekend! 🧡
From the Riverland to Elizabeth, SMG was out and about connecting with schools and communities.

CEO Sarah joined RM Jules and Senior PCW Nick in the Riverland for school visits and a beautiful Principal Appreciation Dinner - a night of encouragement, gratitude and blessing.

Meanwhile, in Elizabeth, we loved being part of Jesus in the Park, where local churches and organisations came together to bless the community!

Another amazing group of PCWs have completed Orientation!

We look forward to hearing the many stories of encouragement, support, and hope they’ll bring to their school communities. 🙌

✨ Funday Sunday ✨
Our Barossa PCWs loved being part of this year’s annual community event in Tanunda! Hosted by local churches, it’s a day full of free food, entertainment, and activities – and a beautiful chance to share the love, hope, and joy of Jesus with their community.

This year, they brought their Kimochi theme back, creating a calm space with books, characters to explore, rock art, and colouring-in. These simple activities opened up space for great conversations with kids, parents, carers, and grandparents.

Perfect weather, a wonderful crowd, and a strong sense of community – we’re grateful to be part of it all! 💛

✨ The Best Night Ever ✨
We all love a beautiful clear night, looking up in wonder at the stars, whilst toasting marshmallows and chatting with our mates around a campfire! Sounds like a great night. But what was the best night ever?

This Christmas, the Life Matters team explores the very first Christmas and what it means today. Students are encouraged to shine like “stars” in the lives of others - at school, at home, or wherever they are.
