WITH ONE HEART 

WE BUILD MANY FACILITIES 

Since the opening of the Junior College Resource 

Centres in 2010, we observe with interest and 

anticipation, the changing physical landscape 

across the four campuses of Concordia Lutheran 

College, as the refurbishment and construction of a 

number of projects comes to fruition. 

In accordance with the CLC Master Plan, the 

construction of many of the current and future 

capital works projects would not be possible, if it 

were not for the range of income sources available 

to College Council: 

• State and Australian Government grants; 

• Local government infrastructure grants; 

• Bank loans; 

• Concordia College Foundation Building funds; 

• Income generated through the lease of College 

facilities; and 

• Donations and bequests. 

CONCORDIA FUNCTION CENTRE 

Norfolk 

Room 

Our newest facility, the Concordia Function Centre, 

will be available for both internal and external 

bookings. In an effort to commemorate our old 

House names, we have created the Bunya, Norfolk 

and Noack Rooms, as well as the Redlands 

Boardroom. Enquiries and bookings can be made 

by contacting Redlands Campus Reception. 

The Bunya Room 

Ballon Outdoor Education Centre 

The relocated building from Redlands Campus is 

now ready for use as a new Dining and Activity 

centre. This development along with other recent 

refurbishments is part of our master planning 

and marketing strategy for the centre. Other 

recent improvements include new bunk beds 

and mattresses as well as modernised bathroom 

amenities for each dorm.

Concordia Connections

Centre for Scientific Inquiry 

In early January, our building contractors, G & K 

Lawson Construction Pty Ltd, took possession of the 

Redlands Campus site with Practical Completion 

due in June 2013. Staff and students are now 

looking forward to lessons in the new centre from 

the beginning of Semester 2. 

Once equipment and resources have been 

moved into the new building, the five old science 

laboratories will be gutted in preparation for the next 

stage of our capital works program. 

Hospitality Centre and Learning Support/ 

ESL Rooms 

As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) offering 

Certificate I and II in Hospitality Practices, a popular 

elective within our Senior Curriculum offering, 

we are required to meet and maintain particular 

industry standards, including the provision of a fully 

equipped commercial kitchen. 

Naturally, not only will the construction of such a 

new facility benefit our students in Years 11 and 12, 

but it will also serve as the venue for Middle College 

students currently studying the elective subject area 

of Food Studies. The new Hospitality Centre will be 

created within the two downstairs rooms of the old 

science block and will include a fully operational 

commercial kitchen and dining room. This facility 

will also benefit the wider College community as 

a venue for a variety of functions and cater to the 

needs of our boarding students when our new 

Function Centre is unavailable. The remaining 

three upstairs rooms of the old science block will 

be converted into flexible learning spaces, storage, 

tutorial and staff rooms to provide a Centre of 

Learning for students requiring additional learning 

or English language support. This new centre will 

be connected with D-Block and the existing Year 

7 and 8 classrooms through an extension of the 

existing ramp, which will join S-Block upstairs. 

Assuming everything goes to plan, it is our intention 

to timetable classes in the new Hospitality and 

Learning Centre from the beginning of 2014. I am 

sure you will agree that our students will benefit 

greatly through the provision of current capital 

works projects. We recognise and acknowledge the 

tremendous work of Council, the Executive Team 

and staff of the College, who together had the 

foresight and enthusiasm to prepare our Concordia 

Lutheran College Master Plan for the future and 

now to make it a reality.

Three Into One Does Go – Changing the Brand 

Change within schools can be challenging at the 

best of times. Change that involves an amalgamation 

of two primary schools and one secondary college 

in three locations across Toowoomba, into a 

coeducational K-12 College is positively daunting. 

Throw into the mix two boarding houses, an 

Outdoor Education Centre three hours away and 

the transition of Year Seven students from the 

primary to the secondary campus and we’re talking 

about a really complex project! In 2007 the result 

was Concordia Lutheran College, Toowoomba with 

Michael Kaiser as the inaugural Head of College. 

A supportive Queensland District Church body, 

proactive local College Council, enthusiastic and 

forward- thinking staff, parents and students were 

key to the amalgamation’s success. Education in 

Toowoomba is a big ticket item and a recognisable 

brand is vital to market share. 

Many changes were in the wind. Previous campus 

names and three different crests, the oldest 

notching up 60 years were laid to rest as new 

branding became a necessity. It’s important to 

preserve elements of our past for current families 

and past students and this needed to be done 

sensitively. 

A bright and fresh new College crest was created. 

It is redolent with symbolism of the trinity, a firm 

foundation, raggedy edges, the ‘One Heart’ motto 

and even a map of Queensland thrown in for good 

measure! 

The new crest was just the beginning of a new look. 

We soon realised that there was a need to roll out a 

philosophy statement, strategic plan, management 

structure, college song, website, prospectus and 

new branding in ads, publications, staff and student 

uniforms, signage and merchandise. 

We also had the opportunity to harness K-12 

human resources through streamlined curriculum, 

restorative practices and pastoral care programs, 

engage non-teaching staff more effectively and 

utilise physical and financial resources more wisely. 

And as much as our Head of College would like to 

take a turn on the tractor, he’s not allowed!

Past students who visit our College say that it’s not 

like it used to be. No it’s not and neither should it 

be. You’re not the same either. Three into one does 

go. We did it - With One Heart. 

Chaseley Lamerton 

Director of Marketing and Enrolments 

Interpreting Our College Crest 

The Concordia Lutheran College Crest has been 

designed to reflect the traditional foundations 

of Martin Luther Primary School, Concordia 

Primary School and Concordia College. It 

embodies the idea that our campuses are built 

on solid educational and theological foundations. 

The triangular shape represents the Trinity and 

the three campuses. It also reminds us of our 

geographic location. 

Swirls coming down reflect God’s grace and 

those rising represent the Holy Spirit, growth 

and development. As our eye is drawn towards 

the cross within the heart, we are reminded 

that the centrality of the Gospel underpins our 

Christian teaching. The rough side of the triangle 

is a reminder that everything in life is not smooth 

and easy. Within God’s love we learn to develop 

Christian character.

Head of 

Senior College 

As a new member of 

Concordia Lutheran 

College I have enjoyed 

the sense of community 

which has resonated 

in all that I have been 

involved with so far. At 

various assemblies, I have 

challenged students to always do their 

best and to be fully involved in College life. 

A number of cocurricular activities are up 

and running. Our recent production of 

Godspell was a resounding success. 

I have been an educator for over 25 

years and mostly been involved in the 

establishment of new schools. Early in my 

career I was involved in the development of 

the All Saints Anglican School on the Gold 

Coast. I then took up the position of Head 

of Campus at Lindisfarne Anglican College 

in Terranora during the development 

of the Secondary Section of the School 

and returned as Acting Principal after 

teaching for three years at the Regents 

International School, Thailand. I was the 

Head of Junior Secondary at Coomera 

Anglican School, before continuing my 

International experience as Head of ICT 

at the Australian International School, 

Singapore. Recently, I have held a number 

of administrative positions including Head 

of Uptown School and Head of Secondary 

at Greenfield Community School, both in 

Dubai. After these travels it is satisfying to 

return to my home patch. 

I acknowledge the history and traditions of 

Concordia and appreciate the role that the 

Past Students’ Association plays. I wish 

you well in your endeavours this year. 

Tony Sharman 

Head of Senior College 

Save 1, 2, 3 November! 

In a departure from previous years of Deutschfest, 

the Heritage Weekends and the 2012 Arts Festival, 

prepare ye the way for a Creative Connections 

weekend on 1, 2, 3 November 2013! Keeping in mind 

Concordia’s 2013 motto With One Heart We Build 

Many Strengths, during this weekend our community 

of past and current students, teachers and families 

will be drawn together for a weekend of celebration. 

We’ll kick off the weekend at Redlands Campus 

on Friday by entertaining grandparents of current 

students. Past Student reunions can take in the Art 

Exhibition on Friday night then hit the town! Families 

are also invited to attend the gala Exhibition which will 

feature the artistic works of talented students. 

Art and Music will dominate Saturday’s daylight hours, 

culminating in a Twilight Concert spectacular for the 

entire community. The Pear Shape will play host to 

1960-1964 old scholars in the form of a High Tea, so 

dig out those pretty frocks and bow ties! 

Our Concordia community is one worth celebrating, 

so join family and friends for a very special dinner on 

Saturday evening in the newly refurbished Concordia 

Function Centre. Enjoy a three course meal and 

entertainment. In a fitting conclusion to a wonderful 

weekend, let’s give thanks for our many wonderful gifts 

by worshipping with Emmanuel Lutheran Fellowship 

in the Concordia Chapel. Don’t miss this weekend of 

Creative Connections! See pages 23 and 28 for further 

details and booking information. 



1960-1964 Students 

This year’s Creative Connections weekend will have 

a special emphasis on the students from 1960- 

1964 who attended Concordia. 

High Tea Invitations will be sent to those currently 

on our database in the coming months. If you 

happen to know of students who attended during 

these years who may not be on our database or who 

may have changed address recently, please have 

them contact Reception on 07 4688 2700. 



Heritage Weekend 2-3 June 2012 

Celebration Under the Trees Umbrella! 

“Come rain, hail or shine – the show will go 

on! Just bring your umbrella and a smile.” 

(Heritage Weekend email Update No. 6) 

And they did! Hundreds of students, past and 

present, staff and family members braced the 

cold and rather damp conditions to come out 

and join the celebrations of the Concordia 

community Heritage Weekend. 

Apart from the Fabulous Fifties Luncheon, 

Celebration Dinner and Service, the highlight of 

the weekend was undoubtedly the Celebration 

under the Trees. Weeks of planning and 

preparation resulted in a visual feast of artistic, 

curricular, multi-cultural and historic displays. 

Sideshow Alley and the Aquathon provided 

hours of entertainment. There was truly 

something for everyone. 

Parents eagerly examined the work of their 

children as displayed in the gym (Junior 

College) and classrooms (Senior College) 

around Redlands Campus. Our international 

and indigenous students were proud to be able 

to provide a showcase of cultural significance 

allowing visitors to realise the breadth of 

our ethnic heritage within the Concordia 

community. Members of the class of the 1950s 

pored over every aspect of the archival display 

which gave visitors a window back into time. 

In between displays visitors were pleased to 

find a moment of respite whilst thoroughly 

enjoying an array of musical presentations as 

provided by our very talented students from 

Prep to Year 12. 

One thing is for sure, despite the inclement 

weather, there was not a frown to be found 

– with nothing but smiles all round. There is 

no doubt that this truly is a College With One 

Heart. Thank you Team! 

I now invite you to read on for a wrap-up of all 

things ‘Heritage’.

Fabulous Fifties Lunch 

What’s fast becoming a tradition of the 

Heritage Weekend is the opportunity for 

students from Concordia’s earlier years to be 

treated to College hospitality with a special 

lunch at the invitation of Head of College 

Michael Kaiser. Redlands Campus hosted 

eighty past students and guests from the 

1950s from far afield yet bound by shared 

memories of their old school days. Greetings 

from those absent were read. Stories rolled, 

photos were shared and laughter grew as this 

special group reunited after half a century. 

Michael Kaiser welcomed our Fabulous 

Fifties and explained how the Past Students’ 

Association was endeavouring to re-establish 

contact with as many as possible. He stressed 

the importance of preserving Heritage and the 

value of gatherings like this one. 

Jaryu Shaw (Year 9) and Jenyu Shaw (Year 

11) who blitzed the field in the Eisteddfod, 

especially piano, provided music for the soul 

and the Redlands Campus Catering team, 

delicious Chicken Mignon and Apple Crumble 

Tartlets for the body. Past student Rev John 

Vitale said grace. 

Guest speaker, past student Richard Pietsch 

is well known from the paddocks of Inglewood 

to the Brisbane Boardroom of RACQ. As past 

Concordia parent and past Council Chair, 

Richard’s passion for Lutheran education was 

evident in his speech. Equally so he urged us 

to “eat more farm food and wear more wool” 

especially in this Year of the Farmer. Through 

boarding, Concordia provides the perfect 

opportunity for country and city to meet. 

We look forward to building on this friendship 

and committing many stories from the 1950s 

to the archives. It’s just possible that the 2012 

class photo might sneak its way onto many a 

mantle piece. 





Heritage Weekend 2-3 June 2012 

And Celebrate They Did! 

If the sheer exuberance of the dinner guests is 

anything to go by, then the Heritage Weekend 

Celebration Dinner lived up to its name. 130 

guests, many from interstate swapped the 

wet conditions for the warmth of friendship 

and good company. Savouries served by 

Concordia boarders were served to guests as 

Contemporary Choral created the ambience for 

a classy evening. 

Past student Richard Hauser (1964) the 

evening’s MC almost needed no introduction 

by Head of College Michael Kaiser, such 

is his profile amongst Lutheran educators 

and authors. Richard carefully selected his 

‘targets’ for spot interviews which added to the 

enjoyment of the evening. Chef Tyrone Lanagan 

and his team prepared Chicken Mediterranean 

and Tender Beef Mignons, which was followed 

by Strawberry Bavois and Chocolate Praline 

Cones, a far cry from boarder fare of old. 

Guest speaker, past student Jill Lange-Mohr 

(Lange, 1976) currently holds the position of 

Principal of St Peter’s College Springfield. She 

entertained us with her recollections of time at 

Concordia Memorial College during the 1970s 

with some very accurate character sketches of 

O.J. Janetzki, Pastor Glen Zweck, Elva Paech, 

John Penny, Glen Natalier and Don Williams. 

Jill is unashamedly a Concordia girl through 

and through but those hundreds of detention 

lines of Rule 9 will always have a special place 

in her heart! 

In a guest spot interview, Executive Director of 

Lutheran Education Australia Stephen Rudolph 

reminded us to “be true to who we are” and 

that it is often through our Colleges that the 

gospel is brought to our students. “After all,” 

he continued “Lutherans have been educating 

young people for 173 years”. He also brought 

special greetings from Pastor Mike Semmler, 

President of the Lutheran Church of Australia. 

Many past students took this as an opportunity 

to hold class reunions. Large groups from 30 

and 50 years ago enjoyed catching up with 

their class mates of old. “It’s amazing how 

old some have become” one wit was heard to 

remark! 

The Past Students’ Association will benefit from 

the lively multi draws throughout the evening 

which kept everyone buzzing. Further musical 

entertainment was provided by Greg Kowald 

and past student Ian Kammholz (1978) 

accompanied by Wendy Evans, Head of the 

Arts. Andrew Kucks (1984) PSA President and 

Syd Owen, Heritage Weekend Chair delivered 

votes of thanks to speakers and expressed their 

appreciation to everyone for their support of 

the College and their attendance at the dinner.

Heritage Celebration Service – Take it! Enjoy it! Live it! 

A reflection of what Heritage can mean to 

us was the focus of the Sunday Celebration 

Service which capped off a very successful 

Heritage Weekend. 

Emmanuel Lutheran Fellowship and Concordia 

Lutheran College combined to celebrate Trinity 

Sunday with guests from communities near 

and far, which included past students from 

the 1950s. Rev Andrew Vanderwal (Emmanuel 

Lutheran Fellowship), Rev Mark Vainikka 

(Concordia Lutheran College) and Rev John 

Vitale (1950s student and District President 

Emeritus) led us in worship, a combination of 

contemporary and traditional. Boarders Hayley 

Parker (St George) and Ralph Trappe (Lae), 

read the Bible lessons, and Lois Sanders, Marie 

Miegel and ELF members provided music. 

A pictorial representation of Concordia through 

the ages set the scene for a Heritage theme. 

Like mottos and badges, things have changed 

in 66 years including the College song. Past 

students led us in the new College song, With 

One Heart written by past student Sharny 

Russell Van Herp (1972). 

Rev John Vitale in his address explored 

various meanings of Heritage. Is it inheritance 

of property and heirlooms? Is it genetic? For 

him it is the battered foolscap pad which 

documents his Finnish grandfather’s story. An 

important legacy that we as parents can give to 

our children is education. Concordia provided 

that for John Vitale a boarder from Ingham, 

as his Christian faith grew and his knowledge 

increased. For Christians our Gospel Heritage 

becomes most significant, especially as we 

celebrate the Triune God on Trinity Sunday. 

“True Heritage must be handed on. Take it! 

Enjoy it! Live it! With one heart we forge our 

futures, and more so with one heart we go with 

God and the Gospel to forge our futures.” 

Greetings were brought by Head of College 

Michael Kaiser who acknowledged the 

presence of the 1950s students. A morning tea 

in the Dining Room was enjoyed by many as 

Heritage Weekend 2012 came to a close. Look 

out 1960s students – it’s your turn in 2013! 





CLC College Council 

Back L-R: Michelle Toombs, Syd Owen, Scott Maroske (consultant), Jeff Ballon, Tania Bahnisch. 

Front L-R: Robert Craig (Consultant), Boyd Busiko, Gavin Lindenmayer, Michael Janetzki. (Absent: Michael Kaiser) 

The membership of Concordia Lutheran 

Council is approved by the Lutheran Church 

of Australia Queensland District and we report 

annually to Synod. We currently have seven 

members who at one time or another have 

been or will be past students or past, present 

or future parents of the College. 

We use our range of talents and experience 

in the areas of accounting and finance; legal; 

education and business management in 

the key role of Corporate Governance. It is 

our responsibility to ensure that the school 

operates in accordance with the objectives, 

policies and procedures set by the Lutheran 

Church. 

Our involvement is in long term Strategic 

matters, concerned with aims, priorities and 

future developments of the College. Activities 

such as these shape the overall ethos and 

purpose of the school. Our other key role is 

to provide support and encouragement to the 

Head of College and the Executive Team in 

their daily operational activities. 

To assist in carrying out our functions, we 

10 

have four sub-committees – Finance and 

Asset Management; Legal Audit and Risk; 

P&F Management and Strategy and Planning. 

These sub committees that meet regularly 

gather information and provide advice to help 

the Council in its monitoring function. 

At the start of 2012 we all agreed that it would 

be worthwhile to gain a better insight into the 

Strategic Planning Process, given that our 

current Five Year Plan was concluding at the 

end of 2012. For some Council members, 2012 

was their first year of Council membership and 

to assist them we joined with Michael Kaiser 

and members of his Executive Team in a 

series of workshops facilitated by Independent 

Schools Queensland. Much discussion took 

place in what defines the College, where we 

need to be in the next five years and how 

this will be achieved. Our learning as Council 

members is never ending and we have 

committed to engage in continual professional 

development to carry out our Governance role. 

Our Capital Projects have included the long 

awaited refurbishment to the pool in to what 


Centre for Scientific Inquiry 

is now a very impressive Aquatic Centre. 

Government funding via the Block Grant 

Authority has been secured for the construction 

of the new Centre for Scientific Inquiry with 

construction almost completed. This in turn, 

will result in the refurbishment of the old 

Science building. Planning is also underway 

for other Capital Works as part of our long term 

Capital Master Plan. To mention briefly, there 

are plans to renovate the lower floor of Girls’ 

Boarding and to provide a new Administration 

Centre and additional classrooms for Concordia 

Primary Campus as well as on-going upgrades 

at Martin Luther Primary Campus. The Dining 

Room at our Ballon Outdoor Education Centre 

has been completed. 

We all have so much to be thankful for in 

what our Lord provides for us. The success 

of our College is due to a whole gamut of 

things. The Council is grateful to have such 

loyal and dedicated teaching staff providing a 

high standard of education for each student. 

Also, to the Business Office and support staff 

for their strong business management and 

meticulous record keeping, and the Grounds 

staff for the maintenance of buildings and 

amenities, ovals and gardens. We thank the 

catering staff for their hospitality to students, 

the Council, visitors and guests. 

The support of families to our College is 

overwhelming. There are many parents who, 

given their own busy schedules, still find time 

to assist around the campuses by being part 

of P&F committees and attending functions. 

Thanks to our students who in their own unique 

ways contribute to College life in academic, 

sporting, cultural pursuits or just simply being 

a friend to a fellow student in a time of need. 

We are fortunate to be members of the Lutheran 

Church of Australia, Queensland District which 

through the Secretariat of Lutheran Education 

Queensland aims to nurture, strengthen, 

guide and uplift those people working in our 

Lutheran Colleges and early childhood centres 

so they are equipped to better carry out their 

ministry of service. I’d encourage all of you to 

continue supporting these bodies now and in 

the future.

Aquatic Centre Launch 

Sports Captains Sara Croft and Jake 

Norley with special guests Michael 

Bohl and Stephanie Rice. 

Everyone gathered within Concordia’s 

newly refurbished Aquatic Centre on 12 

October 2012, to experience not only 

the welcoming atmosphere but also 

the radiant smile of our Olympic Gold 

Medalist, Stephanie Rice, who along 

with coach Michael Bohl were honoured 

guests on this special occasion. 

This significant event actually marked 

the third opening of a swimming pool 

complex since 1946. The original, and 

then outdoor pool, was built on the 

same site in 1975. Ten years later, on 

11 November 1986, the opening of the 

new indoor heated swimming pool of 

nine lanes took place. 

Apart from regular maintenance, the 

pool had seen little change in the last 

25 years. The facility we see today 

has undergone a major refurbishment 

which includes a complete fibre-glass 

relining, new starting blocks, windows, 

ceiling and pool decking. Change rooms 

have also been refitted and tiled and the 

entire building has been repainted. 

The official opening ceremony and the 

traditional ribbon cutting by Stephanie 

Rice also marked the beginning of the 

12 Hour Lap Swim in celebration of this 

milestone in the history of our College. 

12 

The weekend of 19–20 April saw this year’s College 

Musical production of “Godspell” performed to 

very appreciative and enthusiastic audiences. 

Congratulations to the cast, including students 

from all three campuses, for their outstanding work 

over the last three months to put the show together.

Past students promoting healthy bodies 

After graduating from Concordia College, 

James Wiltshire (1999) was lucky enough to 

gain entry into the Bachelor of Physiotherapy 

at UQ. This was obviously a life-changing 

event but became even more so when he met 

his lovely wife Jill at the start of his third year 

of study. They married in their fourth year 

and moved to Tasmania in their first year out 

of Uni. Fantastic! Circumstances dictated a 

return to Queensland. 

James gained work around the northern 

suburbs of Brisbane. He was fortunate 

enough during this time to juggle having two 

beautiful girls, work full-time, do physio for a 

Premier Brisbane Rugby club and renovate a 

house (busy times indeed). After six years of 

this, the family moved to Warwick where Jill 

was employed as a Psychologist. They have 

since come full circle and started a practice 

in Toowoomba in 2009. This has been 

challenging and rewarding in equal measure. 

To keep life full James has returned to Uni to 

complete a Masters of Sports Physiotherapy 

and a Masters of Manipulative Physiotherapy 

(spinal). Life is full and fantastic at the 

moment and they love living and working 

in this beautiful town and catching up with 

former Concordian friends. 

When Renea Davies (1995) left Concordia 

she continued her sporting interests and 

studied Health Science at Griffith University. 

This began her career in rehabilitation for 

several A-Grade AFL, Soccer and League 

teams on the Gold Coast. 

Looking for something more she studied 

Podiatry at QUT. Renea found essential 

experiences in Singapore and Queensland 

before returning home and opening her own 

clinic. 

Now Renea owns and operates Think Feet 

Podiatry in Toowoomba. While she treats “all 

things Podiatry” she specialises in children’s 

growing issues and realigning the foot 

posture in adults. The foot changes are made 

with specially developed Foot Mobilisation 

Techniques (FMT), coupled with corrective 

exercises tailored for each patient. This is all 

done without orthotics and surgery. 

Renea very generously gave her time last 

August at the annual Inter-House Athletics 

Carnival to become a member of the sports 

medicine team. She manipulated and realigned 

dislocated bones of injured athletes. 

Thanks for your generosity Renea!

Obituaries 

Harold Mengel 

1 August 1931 – 18 September 2012 

The Concordia 

community mourns 

the loss of Harold 

Mengel, an original 

1946 student who 

gave over 60 years 

of service to the 

Lutheran Church. 

Harold enjoyed 

his academic and 

sporting days at the 

fledgling College 

and was confirmed by Pastor R.H. Altus in 

1946. After leaving school, Harold contracted 

Poliomyelitis and was treated by Sister 

Elizabeth Kenny, who came from his home 

town of Nobby. 

Despite this setback Harold enjoyed physical 

labour and lived a full and active working life 

in his community with membership of many 

organisations. 

Harold’s connection with Concordia Lutheran 

College spans the College’s entire history and 

his children and grandchildren continue to 

be members of the College family as staff, 

parents and student. Harold took a keen and 

lively interest in all things Concordia and in his 

latter years particularly, enjoyed catching up 

with old classmates from the 1940s. 

Rev Mark Vainikka conducted Harold’s funeral 

service at Holy Trinity Church, Nobby on 26 

September where grandson Carl Christensen 

read the Eulogy. 

Vince Klingberg 

25 October 1929 - 16 November 2012 

The Concordia 

Lutheran College 

community is 

saddened by the 

loss of long-serving 

teacher and valued 

colleague Vince 

Klingberg, who died 

on 16 November. 

Vince became very 

much a part of 

Concordia’s fabric 

through a distinguished time of service from 

1959 to 1994, an amazing 36 years! 

Many subjects were taught during Vince’s 

working life at Concordia, though Maths and 

Science were his favourites. QED – “quite 

easily done” he would say! He had many 

strings to his bow including timetabling, Book 

Agent, Board of Secondary School Studies 

coordinator and sports master. Thousands of 

old Concordians will remember the “Golden 

Voice” behind the microphone from those 

sports days. Vince kept up an active interest 

in College activities particularly Heritage 

Weekends, until very recent times. 

Our sympathies are extended to Vince’s wife 

Roma, their six children and their families. 

Dianne, John, David, Sandra, Karen and 

Terry were all educated at Concordia Primary 

School and Concordia College. Vince’s funeral 

was conducted by Rev Brenton Fiedler at 

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church on Friday 

23 November. 

May the smile of God be for you 

And his breath give you life. 

(Aubrey Podlich)

A Very Special Visitor 

Redlands Campus has had the pleasure of 

welcoming back one of our former students. 

Hardly unusual, I hear you say! Indeed, we 

regularly enjoy catching-up with old scholars 

who are always very excited to share details of 

life’s journey since leaving Concordia. 

Doris Waidelich, her son Markus and niece 

Yvonne Titter (nee Krenske), who also attended 

CMC, enjoyed a wonderful walk down memory 

lane with a tour of Redlands Campus, followed 

by a delicious morning tea in the old Redlands 

building. What made our time together so 

much more significant, apart from the fact that 

Doris had travelled all the way from Vancouver, 

Canada where she now lives, was the fact that 

Doris is one of our foundation students and 

member of the class of 1946. 

To top things off, Doris was born a Noack, the 

youngest daughter of Pastor Friedrich Wilhelm 

Noack, who was the College’s Council Chair for 

24 years from 1944 to 1968. In this capacity, 

Pastor Noack was able to persuade Council 

members to purchase the Redlands building 

and surrounding lands for approximately 

£5000. If it hadn’t been for his foresight and 

the ability to lead a strong team of like-minded 

farmers and businessmen to establish a 

Markus Waidelich, Doris Waidelich and 

Yvonne Titter with Michael Kaiser 

Lutheran College on the Downs, perhaps we 

wouldn’t be here today. 

As a member of the founding class, Doris was 

able to share many stories of those early days, 

when there were only 27 students, most of 

whom were boarders. At that time the boys 

of College boarded upstairs in the Redlands 

building. 

After attending church on Sunday with 

Emmanuel Lutheran Fellowship and our 

boarding community in the College Chapel, 

Doris departed knowing that she still has a 

strong connection with her alma mata.

Greetings from Canada 

Prior to the Heritage Weekend celebrations, 

Ellen White (Orava, 1954-1955) sent greetings 

from Vancouver. An excerpt follows: 

This little Finnish girl who came from Tully - 

the student who traveled the longest distance 

in years 1954-1955 - 2 days and 2 nights on 

two trains to attend Concordia. There were 

students in a higher grade, teachers, dorm 

mistress, who became role models for this 

lonely girl from a sugar cane farm, who had 

big dreams. 

Dreams of high education, of traveling, 

success in her career, and then in business 

with her husband - consultants to many small 

companies and large corporations, in Australia, 

Canada and USA and other countries and 

experiencing life by living in these nations. 

As you gather for the Heritage Weekend 

Celebration and for the Fabulous Fifties - 

I HONOUR my Principal, The Teachers, The 

Kitchen Staff, Dorm Mistress, and my Fellow 

Students, and say “Thank You For Being Part 

Of My Life’s Journey”. 

I leave this scripture for EVERYONE and 

especially to the Current Staff and Students. 

“Dream big and be prepared to work as hard 

as your dream is big.” 

Psalm 37: 3-5 (NKJ) 

“Trust in the Lord, and do good; 

Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.”

Descendants of Wilcox Family Visit Redlands Building 

If we had to define Heritage in 

its purest architectural sense it 

would certainly be this iconic 

building. Redlands encapsulates 

the optimism of pioneering 

Toowoomba families in the 

1880s and bears witness to the 

beginnings of Concordia Memorial 

College in 1946. It has cultural 

heritage significance because 

“It has a special association with 

the life of prominent Toowoomba 

businessman Edmund Wilcox; and 

with Toowoomba architect James 

Marks as a major example of his 

residential work.” 

It was our pleasure during the 

Heritage Weekend to play host 

to three generations of the Wilcox 

family who travelled from Brisbane 

and the Gold Coast to be with us. 

As we toured the building we could 

only guess at the conversations and 

dinners from its time as a residence 

and the necessary changes 

required by a boarding school. We 

all agreed that for an old girl born in 

1889, she pulls up pretty well!

Spot the 

Billboard! 

The concept, design and 

construction of a billboard 

finally came to fruition in 2012 

due to the generosity of one 

very proud grandparent. You 

can see the CLC billboard on 

the highway near Withcott.

On 23 July the entire community of Concordia 

Lutheran College gathered in The Shed at CPC 

to experience history in the making. 

After many months of discussions, surveys 

and meetings it was agreed to that we needed 

a mascot to unite us as one student body 

and to provide us with a symbol that would 

represent many of the values we hold dear as 

one College; a community With One Heart. 

Before coming to our decision to send an 

invitation to the Lion, we briefly considered 

the virtues of several other animal mascots 

including a mouse, a snake and even a 

cockatoo. In the end, it became clear that 

the Lion would most certainly best reflect our 

College Values. The very next day, a letter was 

sent! 

During the launch, students watched a video 

presentation showing the Lion receiving and 

responding to our invitation. What followed 

was his journey to Toowoomba until the 

moment the lion knocked on the door of The 

Shed, his suitcase still by his side! 

From the stage, I was privileged to see the 

look of surprise and amazement on the faces 

of 803 students (not to mention the stunned 

staff), who seemed to delight in this feeling 

of being one College from Prep to Year 12. 

Occasions like this are so important in the life 

of our community to build a sense of unity and 

to share dreams, goals and values. 

As part of the ceremony, Pastor Mark outlined 

the significance of a mascot to everyone 

present, including his talking dog, Luther. 

I think Luther was starting to feel somewhat 

left out with the arrival of our new mascot. He 

said: “Pastor Mark, but what happens now that 

Lion King is here – with his maxi schnozzle – 

taking centre stage?” 

Pastor Mark explained: “Luther, I think you’ve 

got this thing all wrong. You are still a hit! Our 

Concordia Lion is not here to take your place. 

A mascot celebrates our unity, that we are 

together as a College and we have the same 

values. You see, lions are courageous, brave, 

part of a tribe, but willing to stand up and be 

counted alone and willing to fight for what is 

right.” 

Pastor Mark went on to remind everyone that 

our new mascot was just like the College Motto 

and Song which speak about all of us being 

part of one community With One Heart.
