Welcome Miss Jessica Real
Shore’s Preparatory School welcomes Miss Jessica Real as the new School Chaplain, bringing with her a passion for both music and ministry. With a Bachelor of Music and a Master of Primary Teaching from UNSW, Miss Real combines her love of education with a deep commitment to sharing the Christian faith.
During her university years, Miss Real actively participated in a Christian group, where she developed and refined her skills in teaching from the Bible. This experience laid a strong foundation for her ministry and her ability to connect with young learners in meaningful ways.
Before joining Shore, Miss Real taught Music at Claremont College, where she also served as Chapel Coordinator. Her background in both Music and Christian leadership has shaped her approach to teaching, using music as a dynamic and engaging way to encourage an understanding of God and a love for Jesus.
An accomplished musician, Miss Real plays the ukulele, guitar, and piano and enjoys singing. She believes that music has a unique ability to inspire and bring people together, making it a powerful tool in her role as Chaplain.
As the Preparatory School Chaplain, Miss Real will share stories from the Bible with children from the Early Learning Centre (ELC) to Year 6. She will also teach Christian Studies across the School, providing students with opportunities to ask questions, explore biblical concepts, engage in meaningful discussions, and pray together.
A key goal of her role is to ensure that students hear and understand the gospel message during their time at Shore’s Preparatory School. This aligns with the School’s commitment to an informational and invitational approach to Christianity, where students are encouraged to explore faith in an open and supportive environment.
Miss Real’s passion for teaching, Music, and ministry makes her a valuable addition to the Shore community. Her leadership will no doubt inspire students to grow in their faith while fostering a love for learning and discovery.
