Welcome Reverend Colledge
SPS would like to welcome Reverend Nicki Colledge into our community and the Junior School team. Rev. Nicki is with us every Wednesday and takes our Chapel Services. Rev. Nicki is a certified teacher and alongside being a Parish Priest, has also been a school chaplain for many years prior to starting at SPS. She is very connected to the SPS community and has many strings to her bow as I am sure we will find out over the course of the year. We are looking forward to having Rev. Nicki as part of our team. If you see her around campus, please say hello and make her feel welcome. Marianne Connolly Hello SPS Community! My name is Reverend Nicki Colledge and I’m the “new-but-old” Junior School Chaplain. I will be working with our Junior School every Wednesday. If you are a parent who attended St Paul’s School in the late 1990s-2000s, you may remember me. Regardless, it is amazing to be back here in the community once again. On Wednesday afternoons, Prep-Year 2 and Years 3-6 gather for Junior School Chapel Services. This year, I have declared it to be “The Year of the Teapot.” Across the year, the symbolism of a humble teapot will develop – an everyday item can be an extraordinary gift, it doesn’t matter if our paint is faded or our spout is chipped, we are all unique and remarkable. Already the idea of hospitality – the simple act of having visitors for afternoon tea – has opened the way to further understanding of what church itself is all about. Coming to the “School Church”, our Chapel means getting ready, greeting and welcoming, conversation, listening, and offering thanks to the host (a lot like church)! Amongst all of this, the Junior School get to enjoy some silly and fun songs along with a few giggles. As Chaplain to the Junior School, I am available to all members of the community. I can be contacted easily using n.colledge@stpauls.qld.edu.au, and I have an office meeting space at the back of the Chapel. Should your child or family member have a need, please do not hesitate to reach out.
I look forward to getting to know many of you in the year ahead.
Rev. Colledge
