<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 />

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

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.

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 />

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.
