COMMUNITY NEWS - New chaplain at Maleny High

After four years in the role at Maleny State High School, Chappy Donna Turner decided to finish duties and take a well-earned break. Paul Tarbuck, representing the Local Chaplaincy Committee, expressed his thanks and sincere appreciation to Donna and said that she symbolised the true spirit of chaplaincy with her devoted care and consideration towards students and staff. She was a person of exceptional faithfulness and integrity, a fine role model for all to emulate.

Donna is replaced by Chappy Jess Brumley. Jess has been a chaplain for two years and before that, she held positions of responsibility in business and administrative fields, interacting with the public in a variety of settings and situations. Her current community service includes involvement with children and young adults in sports coaching and young people’s group activities.

Chappy Jess is warmly welcomed to the Maleny High School support team. She is eager to build up positive relationships with students and staff and also to connect with the community, which she sees as essential to the role.
