My name is Marché Smith.  I am the School Chaplain at Alkimos Primary School.

My role as Chaplain is working in the school as a caring adult and as part of the professional student services team addressing the social, emotional, physical, mental and spiritual needs in the school community by: 

• building relationships with students, families and school staff.
  
  
• providing one-on-one emotional support of students using the zones of regulation curriculum.

• running programs which seek to address the needs of groups of students, such as grief and loss or self-esteem.
  
  
• being a positive role model and to support, encourage and empower the school community. 
  
  
• providing a link between schools, professional services and local communities. 
  
  
• providing a confidential and safe place for students in need of pastoral care with issues such as grief and loss, family breakups, health or friendship issues.

I am at the school on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Please feel free to phone on telephone number 9562 9800 if you require any further information.
