Glenden state school 

Firstly I would like to thank 

everyone for the warm and 

courteous welcome that my 

family and I have received on 

our arrival here in glenden. 

to share with you a little of my 

background, I have spent the 

past three years as Deputy 

Principal at Mackay state High 

school. We had close to 1000 

students and 100 staff so I am 

enjoying the personal nature and 

rapport that comes with working 

within a close knit community at 

glenden state school. My wife, 

Lisa will also be working at the 

school two days per week. Our 

eldest son Lucas is in Prep whilst 

Blake and Dane are still a couple 

of years off joining us at school. 

Prior to moving to Mackay, 

my wife and I have spent time 

teaching in Innisfail, Moranbah, 

Biloela and in the international 

port of London, England. 

We have also had another 

staffing change to share with 

you. We congratulate and 

farewell Cathy taylor who has 

moved to Blackwater North 

state school over the break to 

take up the position of Deputy 

Principal. Replacing Cathy is 

sarah-Jane Clark. We realise the 

wealth of talent, knowledge and 

experience that we will lose with 

the departure of Cathy and thank 

her for the time and effort that 

she has put into her role whilst 

here at glenden state school. 

On thursday 19th July glenden 

state school participated in 

“A Day for Daniel”. the Daniel 

Morcombe Foundation was 

established by Bruce & Denise 

Morcombe in 2005 following 

the tragic abduction and murder 

of their son in December 2003. 

glenden state school had the 

privilege of Daniel’s parents 

Bruce & Denise attend our 

school as part of this event. 

students were encouraged to 

wear red in recognition of this 

day and we held a full school 

Principal Cameron Wayman, Bruce & Denise Morcombe, glenden Adopt-a-Cop 

Brenton O’Brien 

Day for Daniel students were encouraged to wear RED in support of this event 

parade with many parents 

and community members in 

attendance. Bruce & Denise 

spoke to the students in regard 

to staying safe in our community. 

they also recommended many 

great tools that children and 

parents can utilise to recognise 

a potentially harmful or unsafe 

situation. We thank Miss Natalie 

Richardson for organising this 

event for our community. 

the 200 Club is coming at us 

at a rapid rate. glenden state 

school continually appreciates 

the support that we get from 

the community and this event 

is the main fundraiser for our 

P&C. All funds raised go directly 

back into the school to improve 

the learning outcomes and 

opportunities for our students. 

If you don’t already have your 

ticket, get in contact with the 

school office before Friday 10th 

August to purchase your ticket. 

It is exciting to see our next 

intake of students making 

regular visits to the school as 

part of our Pre-Prep transition 

program. Madonna and 

Hayley from C&K with our Prep 

teacher Mrs Leanne Kulmar 

have constructed an engaging 

and informative program that 

familiarises our 2013 Prep 

students with our school. 

As part of the Flying start Pilot, 

which sees the Year 7 students 

become part of High school, we 

have been provided with a new 

general Learning Area and a new 

Flexible Learning Area. this was 

meant to arrive over the June/ 

July holiday break however due 

to the rain, delivery was delayed. 

the construction phase is well 

and truly underway and our 

staff are continually undertaking 

Professional Development within 

their roles preparing themselves 

for this transition.


August, 2012 1 

renae’s shave for a Cure 

My quest to take part in 

the World’s greatest shave 

started a few years ago. Apart 

from being on my ‘Bucket List’ 

(as something I could positively 

put my energy into and raise 

much needed funds for vital 

research) I had also personally 

witnessed a number of families 

close to me have to endure the 

wrath of Leukaemia. 

why this cause is so 

important 

today 31 Australians will be 

given the devastating news that 

they have leukaemia, lymphoma, 

myeloma or a related blood 

disorder. that’s more than 

11,500 people this year. 

Although survival rates are 

improving, blood cancers like 

these are the second biggest 

cause of cancer death in 

Australia. 

the Leukaemia Foundation 

receives no ongoing government 

funding, so supporting this event 

makes our Vision to Cure and 

Mission to Care possible. 

the money I raised will go 

towards research, which is 

needed to find better treatments 

and cures for leukaemia, 

lymphomas, myeloma and 

related blood disorders. 

Your donations and 

sponsorship will also support 

families when they need it 

most, providing leukaemia, 

lymphoma and myeloma 

patients with a free home-away-

much practical assistance and 

emotional support as we can, 

all free of charge. 

I made the decision on saturday 

10th March. the shave was to 

take place the following Friday 

16th March. so I plastered it all 

over Facebook and sent e-mails 

to everyone on my contact list, 

to round up as many sponsors 

as I could in a week. About 

1.36 seconds later I received 

a text message from Hayley 

Barker asking “just how much 

hair do you think you’ll have for 

the wedding??”..... 10 weeks 

later!!! Oops, it was then clear 

that I had forgotten one very 

important date that I would 

most definitely need my hair 

for... her wedding in late May.

Club 7pm 

so the shave was set for Friday 

1st June. I had set myself a 

goal of $10,000 and 11 short 

weeks to achieve this. 

Presently I have raised 

just under $11,000 with 

donations still coming in. 

Donators have included 

Xstrata Newlands and C-Crew 

CFMEu social Club. All other 

donations have been kindly 

donated from individuals. 

I ran a Raffle on the night with 3 

prizes 1st Prize was 5 tickets to 

the Cowboys Vs tigers game 

(kindly donated by steve & 

Heather Clarkson) and a $100 

Personal training card pass, 

won by shari Armstrong, 2nd 

Prize was a gorgeous Leather 

Handbag (kindly donated by 

Connie Rothery of Harlow 

Collections) and a $100 Personal 

training card pass, won by 

Queensland Fire 

& rescue services 

Please note that the QFrs will be 

undertaking burn-offs in the next 2 – 3 

months within the Glenden township. 

Jaime Maltby, 3rd prize was a 

Hair Voucher from Wiltwood 

Hair (kindly donated by Melda 

Wiltshire) and a $100 Personal 

training card pass (kindly 

donated by Kerri Prior), won by 

tove sparks. 

I was and still am completely 

overwhelmed and amazed 

by everyone’s generosity. 

I even had a young high 

schooler donate $200 of his 

hard earned cash (which I’m 

sure he could use on other 

things). I would like to take 

this opportunity to sincerely 

thank from the bottom of 

my heart, everyone that 

supported me both on 

the night and in the weeks 

leading up to my shave. Also 

to my family who all thought 

I’d gone mad, (especially 

scott, who grew his hair as I 

was about to shave mine). 

As a courtesy to all residents, the QFRs will arrange for 

the station siren to sound 3 times a half hour prior to 

burn-off commencing. 

If any glenden residents have allergies, please take the 

necessary precautions. 

Please ensure that all residents keep well clear of any area 

that is undergoing a burn-off.



workshops 

Ballet and contemporary 

students were also very lucky 

to attend workshops with Miss 

Lane. Miss Lane choreographed 

pieces towards our end of year 

concert. We thank Miss Lane 

for travelling to glenden and 

for her wonderful work in the 

exams and workshops. 

tap students attended a 

workshop with Miss Lizzie and 

Miss Nat for a big group number 

in the end of year Concert. 

Our Concert has been 

scheduled for 10th November 

2012 and is going to be “our” 

version of Clara and the 

Nutcracker. Hope to see you 

all there!!!!

Our Pre-primary Exam students with Miss Lane. Left to right: Miss Ruth Lane, Poppy-Jo 

Nobes, Ayla Markcrow, Eloise Decker and taylah swanson 

It has been a busy few weeks for the students of time to Dance. this year we decided to 

introduce the students to Ballet and tap exams process. We invited Miss Ruth Lane to glenden 

to examine the students. Miss Lane has extensive years of teaching, adjudicating and examining 

experience, and is a founding member of the Central Queensland Dancers Company. Even 

though we undertook ‘mock’ exams, Miss Lane did not compromise her high standards and 

expectations just to pass our dancers. It is not in her professional interest to put her signature 

to a dancer’s exam report if it is not up to RAD, or gWt examination standards. Miss Lane trains 

teachers for the Royal Academy of Dance, and is aware of the standard dancers need to attain 

to pass an official exam. Dance exams, like any exam, are very daunting. By offering Mock exams 

we are offering different experiences to the students. students who wish to sit their exams would 

need to travel away. this is also a fantastic opportunity for the students and teachers towards 

personal development. 

Exams that were offered this year follow the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Ballet syllabus, 

and the glenn Wood tap (gWt) syllabus. Both syllabi are taught, examined and recognised 

internationally. 

All who participated in the Exams attended extra classes in preparation. there were sweat, tears 

and sore muscles all around, and we are proud of all the students who participated. they worked 

so hard and have shown HugE improvements. I thank Miss Mel and Miss Lizzy for their hard work 

in preparing the students. 

There are still places available for the 2012 year! 

Classes available include… 

� shooting stars Jazz (5 – 6 years of age) 

� Junior Jazz (6-8 years of age) 

� intermediate Jazz (9-12 years of age) 

Also introducing a new class….

Bowls Club 

the bowls club is currently enjoying very healthy bowling activities. 

Many of the Club Championships are concluded, with only the 

Men’s 2 bowl triples Final, the Mixed Pairs and Mixed Fours 

Championships to complete. In the Men’s events their has been a 

good spread of players winning Championships with several new 

bowlers playing extremely well. It has been extremely pleasing to 

see the ladies events well supported, with singles, pairs, triples and 

fours championships being contested. All champions for 2012 with be 

presented at our Presentation Night later in the year. 

Men’s pennants went well again this year with glenden finishing 2nd 

in its group. It was very pleasing to see new faces playing pennant 

and even more pleasing to fill teams every week comfortably. We 

lost only one home game, and unfortunately, in the end this cost us 

winning our section. A big thank you to the few ladies who helped out 

with our pennants catering needs, and to Amber for her organisation 

and efforts around the club.

State School Parents & Citizen’s annual fundraiser the “200 Club.” Come dressed in your finest, or maybe as your favourite

important event on the P&C calendar to raise funds for the year. 

The major cash prize draws of $5000, $2500 and $1000 are always a big draw for the event. Mackay band “Hot, Hot, Hot” 

will entertain the crowd. Ticket purchases include dinner consisting of Canapés, sit down main meal and buffet dessert, drink 

vouchers, dancing, and lots of fun and prize draws. Sam from Pixzel images will be there to capture the night’s frivolities. 

Tickets cost $140.00 per couple ($70 single) and are available for purchase from the Glenden State School office (P: (07) 4964 

2333). Can’t make it on the night – then purchase a $100 ticket which will still entitle you to be in the draw for the major cash 

prizes. The Red Carpet will roll out at 6.30pm, so purchase your tickets and come and have a fantastic night out. 

If you wish to keep the number you had last year, you need to purchase your ticket by next wednesday 18th July.

national tree Day 

National tree Day is Australia’s 

largest community tree 

planting and nature care event, 

where kids and their families 

can get outside and have fun. 

It’s a safe day out for families, 

giving them the opportunity to 

do something positive for their 

health and wellbeing, as well as 

the health of the environment. 

With thousands of sites at 

schools, parks, gardens and 

other locations across the 

country, National tree Day 

and schools tree Day are the 

perfect first steps to getting 

Aussie children and families to 

connect with nature. 

In 2011, thousands of Australians 

planted over 1 million native 

trees, shrubs and grasses at 

nearly 3000 tree day events. 

Planting trees gives a range of 

benefits to the environment to 

help sustain and care for our 

country. It helps us to maintain 

our biodiversity and help

leave you in fits of laughter.
