Summerhill College

The chaplain’s door is open to all in the school community; students, staff and their families.
The chaplain is privileged to operate with a unique code of confidentiality, which is respected by the school. This allows the chaplain to offer pastoral guidance and care in a sensitive way.

The chaplain works closely with the Guidance Counsellor, the Home School Liaison Officer, the Principal, the Deputy Principal, Year Heads, class tutors and RE teachers.
Students may be referred to the chaplain and special support will be given to students experiencing problems.

At times another support person may be of help to the student, and with permission, the student may be referred to that support person. Parents/Guardians are contacted when necessary.

If you are experiencing problems or difficulties, want to have a chat, and you need someone to listen, please feel free to call to the chaplain’s office.
