Introduction from Our Chaplain
Hi, my name is Kevin. The kids know me as Chappy Kev or just
Chappy. My
role as the school chaplain is to provide support to students, staff and
families of the Crescent Lagoon School community.
During my days at Cresso (Wednesdays & Fridays) I visit
lots of classes and chat to students and staff about all sorts of challenges
that they might be having. Often people (children and adults) just need
someone safe who will listen to them and support them when needed.
You may also hear about my “LEGO lessons” where I use LEGO
to teach various social and life skills while having loads of fun (I personally
am a massive LEGO fan). I coach sporting teams for Friday sport. I work with
senior classes to develop problem solving skills and analytical thinking. Breakfast club is also a big part our
program at Cresso and it’s fantastic that we have been able to extend Breakfast
Club to Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Actually there are lots of different things
that I do to support the Cresso community.
Simply put, I’m here to support you. If you need to chat please feel free to
contact the school office and they will put me in touch with you. There are times when I will simply phone
various families just to touch base and say hi.
I love being part of the Cresso community and I look
forward to supporting you however I can.
Thanks,
KEVIN
