MRIS welcomed a new chaplain on campus this week with the appointment of John Francis to the staff. John will be at school two days a week and will work with the school’s new Wellbeing Officer, Julia Knight to provide social, emotional and spiritual support to students, staff and families. With recent experience as an Outdoor Educator and holding a Certificate 4 in Youth Work, John said he will be interacting with the students at their own level by having fun, and connecting through team building activities in a safe and engaging space. “I feel very fortunate to be at MRIS and I can already see that the children are caring and involved which reflects the wonderful culture of the school.”
