Shore has a number of Chaplains who work in the School. In 2004 Shore was the first School in Australia to create the role of ‘Community Chaplain’. The Community Chaplain provides pastoral support for the adult members of the Shore Community including the parents, staff and the Old Boys and their families. The Shore community is quite large, consisting of almost 200 staff, 3,000 parents and many more Old Boys and their families. The creation of this role has had two benefits; firstly, it has allowed the School Chaplain to focus his time on the students in the school. Secondly, it has allowed more opportunities for ministry to the wider school community to be taken up.
If you would like more information about weddings, baptisms, Marriage counselling, pastoral support, Marriage preparation, funerals, pastoral visits etc please contact the Community Chaplain or the PA to the Chaplains.
