Chaplaincy
Grange Community College has a full-time school chaplain.
Currently our Chaplain is Laura McCarthy.
As a multi denominational school Grange CC welcomes students of all religions and none. The principal role of the school chaplain is to support the school community in a pastoral capacity. At some point in our lives all of us need some kind of support. The chaplain provides an open-door whereby all members of the school community can receive support in a confidential and safe way. The chaplain also works closely with the religion and IMBV (Identity, Multi-Belief and Values Education) departments and seeks to promote the spiritual aspects of these programmes.
Activities undertaken by the chaplain include:
One-to-one student support
Religion teaching
Liturgy celebration
Graduation ceremonies
Charity and outreach involvement
Promote student well being
Care team member
Mindfulness and meditation
Mark and celebrate major feasts and seasons of the various religious years
