<strong>Glenden</strong><br />

community newsletter<br />

JULY, 2012<br />

From the General manager<br />

I would like to take this<br />

opportunity to promote the<br />

“new look” <strong>Glenden</strong> Pioneer.<br />

The <strong>Glenden</strong> Pioneer is funded<br />

by Newlands Coal as a service<br />

to the community and is<br />

designed to keep the community<br />

informed and act as a conduit<br />

for information across the broad<br />

range of interests in <strong>Glenden</strong>.<br />

The Pioneer started as small<br />

black and white publication<br />

published fortnightly, evolved<br />

into a larger monthly colour<br />

version, and is now taking the<br />

step into the electronic age.<br />

This new ‘E’ format is intended<br />

to improve the look and feel of<br />

the newsletter in line with other<br />

community communication<br />

materials as well as reduce the<br />

environmental impact of<br />

the publication.<br />

2012 is presenting a challenging<br />

business environment and the<br />

Newlands Operational Teams<br />

are working hard to adapt<br />

our organisation accordingly.<br />

Newlands remains committed<br />

to <strong>Glenden</strong> and you will have<br />

noticed construction has<br />

commenced on further family<br />

style accommodation in and<br />

around <strong>Glenden</strong>. A major<br />

refurbishment of the C&K<br />

Childcare <strong>Outdoor</strong> Learning<br />

area has been completed and<br />

the results speak for themselves.<br />

Newlands has worked with<br />

various stakeholders to ensure<br />

that as many services as possible<br />

are available for the community.<br />

It is very important that we as<br />

a community support these<br />

health, commercial and other<br />

services so that they remain<br />

viable and continue to provide a<br />

valuable service in <strong>Glenden</strong>.<br />

<strong>Glenden</strong> continues to be a<br />

family friendly community,<br />

congratulations to all those<br />

residents who have made an<br />

effort to welcome the new<br />

members to our community.<br />

I hope you find this issue<br />

informative and continue to<br />

support this initiative through<br />

your contributions.<br />

<strong>Glenden</strong> c&K Pre-schooling centre<br />

Together with Newlands Coal, the Isaac Regional Council,<br />

C&K Central and the <strong>Glenden</strong> Community, the <strong>Glenden</strong><br />

C&K Pre-Schooling Centre is beginning to get noticed for all<br />

of the right reasons!<br />

On the 31st of May, Madonna McLeod, Jodie-Anne Mace and<br />

Kellie Doherty, flew to a gala function in Brisbane to accept the<br />

finalists award in the Workforce Council Innovation Awards. <strong>Glenden</strong><br />

C&K was nominated for this award by Karen McMillan of Inclusion<br />

Support for the remarkable change and exciting journey the service<br />

had begun in 2011. Nominated for the Remote and Rural Category,<br />

C&K <strong>Glenden</strong> showcased a great innovating workforce which<br />

C&K <strong>Glenden</strong> cordially invites all members of the <strong>Glenden</strong><br />

community to the official unveiling of our<br />

<strong>Outdoor</strong> <strong>Environment</strong> <strong>Project</strong>.<br />

Come and witness the magical transformation and see why we are set<br />

to lead the way for innovation within the early education sector<br />

Please join us along with special guests for morning tea at<br />

10am on Friday the 13th of July.<br />

We sincerely thank all businesses and members<br />

of the community who have helped<br />

in making this dream a reality.<br />

had become an inspiration for many other businesses within the<br />

Community Services Sector. Unfortunately they did not win, however<br />

one of the judges spoke with C&K management to congratulate them<br />

on the wonderful service they had in <strong>Glenden</strong>. The amount<br />

and quality of the applicants in this year’s awards was outstanding.<br />

Many businesses such as Qld Ambulance, Mission Australia and<br />

Boys Town were among the finalists, so to be in this company was a<br />

truly humbling occasion.<br />

C&K <strong>Glenden</strong> would like to sincerely thank the entire community<br />

for their continued support.

<strong>Glenden</strong> state school<br />

showcase Awards for excellence in schools – regional winner 2012<br />

For the third consecutive year<br />

<strong>Glenden</strong> State School has<br />

been announced as a Regional<br />

winner in the Showcase Awards<br />

for Excellence in Schools.<br />

<strong>Glenden</strong> State School received<br />

the award in the category<br />

of Middle Schooling for our<br />

Year 7 transition program<br />

“Creating New Horizons”.<br />

Congratulations to Mrs Podlich<br />

and the team of primary and<br />

secondary teachers for their<br />

hard work on the program since<br />

its implementation in 2009.<br />

<strong>Glenden</strong> now progresses to the<br />

next round of judging with State<br />

finalists announced in August.<br />

Below is an extract of the award<br />

submission:<br />

Creating New Horizons is a<br />

school based initiative, which has<br />

been developing since 2008 with<br />

the collaboration of secondary<br />

and primary school staff. This<br />

program was fully operational<br />

in 2009 and continues to be at<br />

the forefront of curriculum and<br />

quality teaching at <strong>Glenden</strong><br />

State School.<br />

The program offers students<br />

the opportunities to engage<br />

in a consistent approach with<br />

Principal for the Day<br />

innovative learning that has<br />

created a supportive and<br />

challenging environment<br />

for students.<br />

The program is aimed to<br />

increase student achievements,<br />

well-being and confidence<br />

in Years 5 to 9 and prepare<br />

students utilising a shared<br />

vision and consistent approach<br />

between secondary and primary.<br />

The program involves Year 7<br />

students actively engaging in<br />

secondary school curriculum<br />

as part of their everyday<br />

schooling through cross campus<br />

teaching initiatives. Students<br />

are challenged and connected<br />

through a program built around<br />

the core teaching of English,<br />

Maths and Science, with specialist<br />

subjects delivered by secondary<br />

teachers. Positive, caring,<br />

connected relationships built on<br />

mutual respect are developed.<br />

There is an accepted expectation<br />

that all staff show a vested<br />

interested in every student’s<br />

outcomes: academically, socially<br />

and emotionally.<br />

The program ‘Creating New<br />

Horizons’ has been set up to<br />

ensure the following areas<br />

Principal for a Day was held at <strong>Glenden</strong> State School on Friday 21st<br />

May as part of State Education Week 2012 celebrations. Principal for<br />

a Day is an annual program that enables schools to forge important<br />

partnerships with the community and parents. The Principals for a<br />

Day gain an insight into the daily operations of state schools, and<br />

daily operations within the classroom.<br />

<strong>Glenden</strong> State School had the privilege to have local Practitioner<br />

Jenny Cleaver as our honorary Principal for the Day. Doctor Jenny<br />

had the opportunity to discuss the strategic school direction, review<br />

school data and visit classrooms throughout the morning. I thank<br />

Doctor Jenny for her time and interest in our school.<br />

are addressed and continual<br />

improvement is made for<br />

students:<br />

• Shared and collaborated<br />

planning and practices<br />

between secondary and<br />

primary sectors<br />

• Core elements delivered by<br />

quality teachers<br />

• Specialist teachers delivering<br />

specialist subjects<br />

• To ensure that students are<br />

engaged<br />

• Continual improvement made<br />

for each and every student<br />

• Monitoring of student<br />

progress and growth for<br />

academic, social and<br />

emotional wellbeing<br />

Learning, achievement and<br />

engagement of our students<br />

is vital to our school, this is<br />

evident in our unrelenting<br />

focus on quality teaching and<br />

student outcomes. At <strong>Glenden</strong><br />

State School we have taken a<br />

whole school approach to our<br />

curriculum and learning. Our<br />

school improvement agenda is<br />

focussed on Literacy, Numeracy,<br />

Data Analysis, SWPB and<br />

engaging the whole community.<br />

red carpet Glamour coming to <strong>Glenden</strong><br />

August 11, 2012 promises a night of Red Carpet Glamour<br />

at the <strong>Glenden</strong> Recreation Centre, courtesy of the <strong>Glenden</strong><br />

State School Parents & Citizen’s annual fundraiser the “200<br />

Club.” Come dressed in your finest, or maybe as your favourite<br />

Hollywood Siren or Silver Screen Leading Man. It is a great<br />

opportunity for the whole community to not only get together<br />

for a great night out but to support the <strong>Glenden</strong> State School<br />

P&C in providing funds to maintain great facilities and resources<br />

for <strong>Glenden</strong>’s children. Being a small town, fundraising<br />

opportunities are limited so the “200 Club” is the most<br />

important event on the P&C calendar to raise funds for the year.<br />

The major cash prize draws of $5000, $2500 and $1000 are always a<br />

big draw for the event. Mackay band “Hot, Hot, Hot” will entertain<br />

the crowd. Ticket purchases include canapés, a sumptuous three<br />

course sit down meal, dancing, and lots of fun and prize draws. Sam<br />

from Pixzel images will be there to capture the night’s frivolities.<br />

Tickets cost $140.00 per couple and are available for purchase<br />

from the <strong>Glenden</strong> State School office (P: (07) 4964 2333). Can’t<br />

make it on the night – then purchase a $100 ticket which will<br />

still entitle you to be in the draw for the major cash prizes. The<br />

Red Carpet will roll out at 6.30pm, so purchase your tickets and<br />

come and have a fantastic night out.

Friday afternoon with some of the professional golfers running a clinic for the local junior members.<br />

They were provided with some invaluable knowledge and assistance to help them with their games.<br />

This was followed by a meet and greets function for all the sponsors and guests which was held<br />

at Cotta’s restaurant. Saturday kicked off the first round of golf. After this, it was back to Cotta’s<br />

Restaurant for a formal sit down meal where all the sponsors and locals involved had a chance<br />

to mingle with the professional golfers. Sunday was round two of golf which was followed by<br />

presentations. The amateur results can be seen below:<br />

Town Club for all their work in preparing for the event and providing catering during it. Finally, thank<br />

The Town Office regularly receives requests from tenants to remove<br />

trees from our residential properties. Under the terms of our leasehold<br />

tenure over the town, the only trees which we are permitted to<br />

remove are trees which pose a risk or are a danger to persons or<br />

property. We are not permitted to remove trees on the basis that the<br />

tree either drops leaves or the tenant simply dislikes the tree.<br />

Construction work on the new 16 man temporary workers<br />

accommodation facility at the <strong>Glenden</strong> contractor accommodation<br />

facility has now been completed. It is expected that once the rooms<br />

Home Fire safety – Home Heating<br />

Many house fires are caused by the unsafe use of heaters.<br />

The following fire safety tips are recommended:<br />

1. For portable heating, choose models that have automatic safety<br />

switches that turn the heater off if tipped over.<br />

2. Keep portable electric heaters away from wet areas to avoid the<br />

possibility of electric shock.<br />

3. Keep heaters well clear from items that might burn. A minimum of<br />

one (1) metre clearance from clothes, bedding, furniture, curtains<br />

and other combustibles is required.<br />

4. Children and pets must be supervised when heaters are in use.<br />

Should you inadvertently lock your keys inside your house,<br />

(07) 4958 9229 and the duty manager will arrange to unlock.<br />

The unlocking of accommodation should not be referred to our<br />

minister in moranbah to hear regional needs<br />

As part of his bid to rebuild bridges with Queensland councils,<br />

Local Government Minister, David Crisafulli, met in Moranbah<br />

yesterday with the Isaac Regional Council’s Mayor, Councillors,<br />

Chief Executive Officer and other Senior Executive staff to<br />

discuss the region’s needs.<br />

IRC Mayor Anne Baker said the key talking point was the State<br />

Government’s Urban Land Development Authorities approved<br />

camp development for 3258 rooms and the critically adverse<br />

impact it would have on the community and Council’s ability to<br />

provide affordable housing and infrastructure.<br />

“Building the camp on residential land removes a big portion<br />

of prime land that could otherwise be used for family housing,”<br />

she said.<br />

“With mining leases all around the town boundary, all other sites<br />

are landlocked.<br />

“We’re in the middle of a boom yet businesses are closing<br />

because of unaffordable housing and rental – who is going to<br />

service the increased population?”<br />

Mr Crisafulli said the development decision would not be<br />

called in and asked if he could help in other ways to lessen the<br />

development’s impact.<br />

Cr Baker said other issues discussed included funding sources<br />

for roads; possible solutions for Clermont’s aged care facility<br />

council launches on-line learning service<br />

suffering from lack of funding for adequate staff and getting<br />

grain haulage back on trains instead of trucking because<br />

unsealed roads could not cope with the heavy loads.<br />

She said her vision was to have all stakeholders come together<br />

with open minds to discuss issues and find solutions to help<br />

sustain Isaac communities for the long term and called on the<br />

Minister‘s help.<br />

“It’s very sad to know that as the engine room of the State, with<br />

the amount of money coming out of this region, our communities<br />

are the most poorly invested in community infrastructure.<br />

“Isaac Regional Council has been very proactive in delivering<br />

affordable accommodation through initiatives such as the Isaac<br />

Views Affordable Housing and the establishment of the Isaac<br />

Affordable Housing Trust.”<br />

Minister Crisafulli said Queensland Councils now had an<br />

understanding parliament in place and he intended to make<br />

changes to the Local Government Act to allow mayors and<br />

councillors to take charge of their own destinies; to allow polls<br />

to take place and enable neighbouring councils to share staff<br />

and equipment.<br />

He also suggested Council report any local election<br />

inefficiencies and that if a division was left without a nomination,<br />

a bi-election could be held.<br />

Isaac Regional Council (IRC) has launched a free, on-line, on-demand tutoring service for job-seekers and adult learners and<br />

is holding demonstrations at six regional libraries.<br />

Lifelong Learning builds on the success of the library’s popular yourtutor service for school and TAFE students, initiated eight<br />

years ago as a free, after-school homework centre.<br />

IRC Chief Executive Officer Mark Crawley said the online service could help people write and format resumes and job<br />

applications; gain literacy and numeracy skills from maths to writing better emails and reports; and seek writing appraisals.<br />

“Lifelong Learning is for people who want to continue learning or simply brush up on a particular area such as public<br />

speaking, grammar, punctuation and writing skills,” Mr Crawley said.<br />

“Anyone seeking a new job or wanting to re-enter the workforce can use the service to learn, without cost, the<br />

necessary skills.<br />

“Adult learners can improve their job-readiness, increase experience with online tools and learn literacy and numeracy skills.<br />

“Lessons are delivered on-line in a virtual classroom, with live teacher instruction.”<br />

Qualified teachers are available on-line between 6pm to 10pm weekdays.<br />

With a library card, residents can sign in and access Lifelong Learning at www.yourtutor.com.au

Avoid Piling on the Pounds this winter<br />

As winter approaches there<br />

is always the temptation to<br />

warm ourselves with comfort<br />

food and oversized coats but<br />

maintaining healthy habits in<br />

the cooler months can set the<br />

tone for the rest of the year.<br />

Queensland Country Health<br />

Fund General Manager,<br />

Aaron Newman, said recent<br />

cold weather should not<br />

stop people exercising and<br />

maintaining a good diet.<br />

Mr Newman said blowing out<br />

on our health regime during<br />

one particular time of the year<br />

could leave us with a lot of<br />

work to do to catch up when<br />

the cold weather was gone.<br />

“It is hard to get motivated<br />

when it starts to get a bit cold<br />

outside but the extra effort will<br />

put you in a better position for<br />

the remainder of the year.<br />

Adults should aim to get 30<br />

to 60 minutes of exercise<br />

nearly every day to maintain<br />

good health.<br />

“There are a range of indoor<br />

and outdoor activities you can<br />

participate in during winter<br />

and they don’t have to cost the<br />

earth,” Mr Newman said.<br />

qccu.com.au | qldcountryhealth.com.au<br />

“You could try finding a heated<br />

pool for swimming; local PCYCs<br />

also offer a range of activities<br />

which are worth checking out.”<br />

Increasing activity levels is the<br />

first step in preventing winter<br />

weight gain, however having<br />

a healthy diet also plays an<br />

important part.<br />

Nutritionist Lauren Nugent said<br />

comfort food didn’t need to be<br />

fat and carb rich<br />

“Many winter foods can be<br />

nutritious, warming and keep<br />

that body beach ready.<br />

“Breakfasts like porridge,<br />

poached eggs or baked<br />

beans give you a great start<br />

and if you need something<br />

sweet throughout the day<br />

try poached fruit with low fat<br />

custard or a hot chocolate on<br />

skinny milk.”<br />

Significant weight gain can lead<br />

to serious health risks such as<br />

diabetes, heart disease, stroke<br />

and some cancers.<br />

The Mackay Marina Run, a community running event including a half marathon, 8km fun run and 5km corporate challenge was held in<br />

Mackay on Sunday 3rd of June. Newlands Coal sponsored 34 individuals that competed in the corporate challenge as 4 teams.<br />

Over 839 people participated in the 5km corporate challenge and the four Newlands teams finished in 5th, 20th, 40th and 86th place<br />

on the team’s ladder. There were some fantastic individual results as well with several male and female runners finishing in the top 20<br />

individual times.<br />

The event is a major fundraiser for the Mackay West Rotary Club and local branch of the Leukaemia foundation. Congratulations to<br />

the Newlands Coal teams and all individuals that participated in any of the events.

Private piano lessons have begun in <strong>Glenden</strong>. I would like to welcome all children who have a love or<br />

curiosity for music and learning to have a free introductory lesson!<br />

Specialising in young beginners through to intermediate pianists I make sure that lessons are a fun<br />

learning experience for all my students.<br />

I have been teaching individual and small group lessons for 5 years now and have a great enthusiasm<br />

for bringing my love for music into the lives of others.<br />

All lessons will take place after school. Please call me on 0402932647 to organise a time<br />

and day for your child’s first lesson.<br />

Happy learning,<br />

See the world differently.<br />

We’re Different. We’re Xstrata.<br />

We’re different to most mining companies, younger,<br />

with less bureaucracy. We think differently, act<br />

differently, add value differently. But our hunch<br />

is you’re different too. You sustain long-term<br />

friendships as well as growth. You believe in your<br />

ability to succeed and achieve. And we believe in<br />

you too. We encourage you to take responsibility.<br />

Challenge the status quo. Ask questions. Make<br />

decisions. Be accountable. In this way you’ll grow as<br />

a person and valued long-time employee. You’ll get<br />

the recognition you deserve, as well as the rewards.<br />

You’ll enjoy security and success. Because the<br />

resources we value most are the people we employ.<br />

Xstrata commitment to sustainable<br />

development<br />

we are committed to the goal of sustainable development. we<br />

balance social, environmental and economic considerations in how<br />

we manage our business. we believe that operating to leading<br />

standards of health, safety and environmental management,<br />

contributing to the development of sustainable communities,<br />

and engaging with our stakeholders in two-way, open dialogue,<br />

regardless of our location, enhances our corporate reputation and<br />

is a source of competitive advantage. this enables us to gain access<br />

to new resources, maintain a licence to operate, attract and retain<br />

the best people, access diverse and low-cost sources of capital,<br />

identify and act upon business opportunities, and optimise our<br />

management of risks.
