Support my challenge to care for young Western Australians

Every school day across Western Australia, 250,000 students walk into a school where someone knows their name. In 2025, YouthCARE chaplains and volunteers showed up in 600 school communities and 38 sporting clubs across the state, from the Kimberley to the Great Southern.

They sat with students navigating hard things, served nearly 700,000 meals through Breakfast Club, delivered 30,760 wellbeing sessions, and supported more than 10,000 athletes and their families on the sidelines.

260,000 people. One consistent presence. Ridiculously good care.

Your support helps provide ridiculously good care to young Western Australians.

I’ve been reflecting on what I’m “ridiculously good” at, and one strength stands out clearly — building meaningful connections across the Goldfields–Esperance and Lake Grace region in my role as Pastoral Care Manager, to better support our school communities through chaplaincy.

I’d love to channel this strength into a focused initiative with YouthCARE. My goal is to raise $15,000. This will fund increase a chaplaincy service in one of our local schools, adding one day extra per week for the year. 




This campaign will centre around a simple but powerful message: Your support matters. By bringing people and organisations together, we can highlight the real impact chaplaincy has in schools and show that, together, we genuinely make a difference in the lives of students, staff, and families.

Follow me over the 31 days of May as I connect with 31 local community services, businesses, and individuals who support our chaplains in being “ridiculously good” at caring for and supporting their school communities.
