Jennifer Bennett is the school chaplain at Yeronga State School in Brisbane's inner south-west.

Chappy Jen got her start in chaplaincy just after the Brisbane floods of 2011, helping families devastated by that disaster get back on their feet.  It was a scenario that played out once again with the flooding that took place earlier this year, leaving over 50 families in her school needing assistance.

Community is at the heart of why Jen became a chaplain; not only does she serve her school, but she also works as a volunteer chaplain with the RSL, leading Anzac Day and Remembrance Day services.
