What we’re doing

Our purpose is to ensure that students at our local schools are receiving loving and effective pastoral care support delivered by a trained and resourced Pastoral Care Worker (PCW) school chaplain.

Come and meet us

We hold a number of meetings each year – attended by our committee and PCWs – which are open for the public to attend.  So if you’d like learn more, have questions, would like to get involved, etc… then come along and meet us!

Goolwa Secondary College

Nginti nankeri (Hello), my name is Midi Bettcher, and I am honoured to introduce myself as the new Pastoral Care Worker at Goolwa Secondary College. Although this role is new for me, I am not new to the school—I have been part of Goolwa Secondary College since it first opened. Over the years, I have come to deeply love and appreciate the school’s culture, students, staff and leadership team, and I am grateful for the opportunity to support our community in a different way.
 
My passion for helping young people is grounded in my Christian faith, which guides me to show compassion, understanding, and genuine care. I believe every student has unique value, and I am committed to creating a safe and supportive space where they feel heard and encouraged.
 
I look forward to continuing my journey with this wonderful school and serving our community with kindness, integrity, and care.
