Tullow Community School

The Chaplain The Chaplain in Tullow Community School operates on an interdenominational basis and accordingly supplies pastoral care services to all the students, staff, past pupils and families who make up this total community. The Work of the Chaplain can best be described under the following headings: Ministry to the students. Ministry to the families of the students. Ministry to all members of staff. Ministry to past pupils. Ministry through Liturgy and Spirituality.

Bereavement Support Research has shown that many chaplains spend much of their time offering bereavement support to pupils, parents and teachers alike. While some students will come to talk with the Chaplain about a significant loss in their lives, Oohers will join bereavement support groups, such as Rainbows/ Spectrum/Prism, which is facilitated by the Chaplain and other members of the Pastoral Care Team. Many pupils find it difficult to return to school after a death or separation in the family: the Chaplain will have the time to be available and to support the bereaved pupil in their return to school.
