The development of Spirituality is at the heart of Blackwater Community School. Within this context, the chaplain endeavours to be a person of faith, committed to the values of Christ, who works in partnership with all those involved in the educational process – students, staff, parents and the local Church – to try to accompany each person on their journey through life.
My hope is that as we work collaboratively, creating opportunities for growth and hope we will all realize:
‘We are not alone in our loneliness
Others have been here and have known
Grief we thought our special own
Problems that we could not solve
Pleasures that we missed by inches…’
Patrick Kavanagh:
‘Thank you, Thank you’
