Kenmore School Chaplaincy
The Kenmore State High Chaplaincy Service complements the school's support services by focusing on pastoral care, providing a listening ear and caring presence, for students from grades 7 to 12 as they deal with friendship issues, grief and loss, mental health struggles, parental separation and many other life events. While Chaplains operate from Christian principles and values, the service is available to all students, regardless of religious outlook, and respects their right to hold their own beliefs and values. The Chaplaincy Service provides a range of weekly programs for students ranging from sport to study or simply a place for students to relax. Chaplains regularly provide assistance with school events and activities and may also help coordinate support for families in distress.

Anglicare Youth Homelessness Project
Recent data shows that nearly a quarter of Australians experiencing homelessness are aged between 12 and 24. Additionally, the Brisbane South/Logan corridor has a significant shortage of immediate need accommodation for young people facing homelessness.
Anglicare’s Youth Homelessness Project features a modern build that is custom designed to support young people (aged 16-25) who are either experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, homelessness.
In addition to accommodation in a first-class facility, residents will be able to access wrap-around support focused on their social and emotional wellbeing and their journey toward independence. This may include a range of psychological and psychosocial supports, connection to education, training and employment opportunities, relationship building, financial literacy and other forms of counselling, and cultural and spiritual connections. This service will provide young people with the stability and space they need to pursue the future they choose for themselves.
Fundraising done through our annual Community Carols for a Cause (first Sunday afternoon of December) supports Anglicare Youth Homelessness Project.
