[Vision2020] Another religious blog

>From the Australian Government's own web site:

s/key_issues/school_chaplaincy_programme/chaplaincy_services.htm

Spiritual guidance:
Supporting students to explore their spirituality;
Providing guidance on religious, values and ethical matters; and
Facilitating access to the helping agencies in the community, both 
church-based and secular.

Greater pastoral care:
Providing guidance to students on issues concerning human 
relationships;
Assisting school counselors and staff in the provision of student 
welfare services;
Providing support in cases of bereavement, family breakdown or other 
crisis and loss situations; and
Being readily available to provide continuity and on-going support for 
individual students and staff where this is necessary.



It looks like the Australian Government once again puts the United 
States Government to shame. Imagine what these individuals could have 
accomplished if they were allowed at Columbine prior to the shootings.

Sounds to me like a good programme.
