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.
Chappy Chats is a production of 96five Brisbane and SU Australia.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
