The next step for Peter in the chaplaincy position process was to attend two orientation days at ACCESS Ministry head office. Each new chaplain was required to bring in a symbol that reflected chaplaincy for them personally. In the days prior to the training days, Peter saw leaf patterns on the foam of Barb's flat white and the idea developed from there. Peter's gum leaves came from a tree which had survived the drought through some level of spot watering provided by the city council. Peter never saw this water truck, so for him the watering had been done in secret. In many ways the nurturing of the school community through the chaplaincy service is a little like that. It might not be seen but be assured the nurture is there.
