  15. Personal Reflection In my view, the Pastoral Care Role provides a great opportunity for school ministry with a community welfare focus. Schools are increasingly central to the community, where early intervention in social issues can be achieved.

  16. “Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers- not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock”. 1 Peter 5: 2 & 3.
