L-R Sharon Devery, (Business Manager) Rob Jennings (Principal) & Sarah McDonagh (Deputy Principal – Jnr school)

EUMUNDI WELCOMES NEW SCHOOL PRINCIPAL The school term is back in full swing, and Eumundi State School (ESS) has warmly welcomed its newly appointed principal Rob Jennings.

Rob has worked as a primary school educator for over 30 years throughout Qld, including as principal at Old Mapoon, Lockhart River, Kuranda, Beerburrum, Yandina and most recently

Tewantin State School. As father of 2 children, he has a good understanding of the importance of a good education and the transformational power of strong school communities.

Rob said, “I am passionate about providing students with a positive learning environment Cont. p3 to nurture and inspire students to

Cont. from p1 reach their full potential, a place where students are encouraged to be kind, curious, resilient and confident individuals.

“It is important as educators that we have a good relationship with students, to provide them with skills for the future. Children will need to have skills in critical thinking, be able to think on their feet, make good decisions and apply logic.

We aim to produce children who have a broad spectrum of knowledge and ideas – along with a good understanding of themselves.”

Despite his long career in education, Rob did not initially complete Yr12. At 16yo he left to work in the local meat works, before being promoted to work in the office as an administrator. He then worked as a bricklayer and concreter before hopping in his car and travelling around Qld with his surfboard. It was not until he was 22yo that he decided to become a teacher.

When asked what his favourite subject at school was, Rob jokingly answered, “Lunch! No seriously, I loved sport and played cricket and rugby. I also loved modern history.”

His favourite subject to teach is mathematics. “It was not my strongest subject in school, so when I went to do my teaching degree I majored in maths because I wanted to improve myself and I ended up really loving it!”

Rob believes that the most important achievement upon completion of a child’s primary education is happiness. “I hope that when a child leaves school, they have good morals, are kind, have a belief in themselves and dreams they want to follow. I hope they are good communicators, have socially acceptable behaviours and are adaptable to change.”

Rob is looking forward to collaborating with students, families and staff to build upon the school’s strengths and explore new opportunities for growth and innovation: “Thank you for welcoming me to this wonderful community. I am confident that together we will continue to make ESS a place where everyone feels valued and inspired to thrive.” Tania Watson

Clean Up Australia Day 2025 Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Eumundi and interested community members will be participating in Clean Up Australia Day on 2 March. The clean up event will be held throughout the Eumundi township. Participants will gather on the boardwalk diagonally opposite the Post Office on Memorial Dr just prior to 8am for registration, a safety briefing and risk warning. All are welcome to join, however volunteers under 15yo must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Clean Up Australia will supply some gardening gloves, but participants are encouraged to bring their own gloves and garbage bags and to wear sturdy, enclosed shoes.

Last year’s focus – the 5 tunnels of Eumundi – proved fruitful and we will be following the same path this year. Where possible we would like to recycle much of what we find by separating items, as we find them, into different bags. The event should conclude by 10am.

Participation in the event will contribute to the certifying process for Eumundi being recognised as the first Kind Community in the world.

Eumundi streetscaping works Stage 1 of Eumundi’s streetscaping works remain on track for completion by March 2025. The area adjacent to Dick Caplick Park and near the Etheridge St/Memorial Dr intersection are the current focus of construction.

Construction of the raised pedestrian crossing and new kerb and footpath works adjacent to the Imperial Hotel is almost complete. The area will include new public seating, wayfinding signage, upgraded footpath and new pram ramps, landscaping, a heritage interpretation 'Bullock Circle', bicycle racks, water fountain and bins, drainage and lighting. As each area is completed, landscaping will follow progressively with over 1,400 new plants, including 26 street trees.

Traffic control and detours are in place for safety reasons, with temporary signage to help direct motorists and pedestrians. At times, on-street parking areas will be temporarily unavailable for use for safety reasons. Free temporary parking remains available at the upper carpark area near 10

The Eumundi Residents Association (ERA) Inc was established last year by a group of enthusiastic locals to keep the 10,600 residents in our area informed about major development applications, changes in council and state planning policies and other issues which affect our liveability, amenity and wellbeing.

President Jutta Guenther said the association’s objectives included writing submissions which reflected the majority voice of Eumundi residents, lobbying all levels of government to improve infrastructure, and to source grant funding for community projects. Jutta is supported by Suzie Campin, Secretary and Lyn Johnston, Treasurer and the inaugural committee.

Issues ERA is currently looking into include: the council’s 20-year Dog Exercise Area Plan and lack of inclusion of Eumundi in its draft plan; sprucing up the Eumundi signage at the Caplick Way/Noosa-Eumundi Rd roundabout; getting footpath upgrades and road crossings included in the SCC Walking Network and Active Transport Network Plan; providing logistical support for the inaugural 2025 Eumundi Writers Festival to be held from 22-24 August this year.

Hinterland transport Zero Emissions Noosa is hosting 2 public discussions on ways to improve transport in the Noosa Council area and reduce transport-related carbon emissions. On 1 March at the Cooroy Memorial Hall from 10am-12noon, the focus will be on transport in the hinterland including Cooroy, Pomona, Cooran and Kin Kin. The other consultation will be on the 8 March at the Noosa Parks Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Dr from 10am-12noon, which will focus on the Noosa Shire as a whole. Both are free but registrations are sought: zeroemissionsnoosa.com.au.

Free weekend buses discontinued The Go Noosa free weekend and holiday buses ceased from 11 February 2025. This decision was made by Noosa Council due to Qld State Government’s announcement that the 50c public transport fares are being made permanent.

Council funds will now be redirected to support other transport priorities across the shire.

12

According to the council, the 50c fares have increased usage of public transport in the Noosa area by 22% during the week and by 9% at weekends. The Go Noosa Holiday Program – which included the free weekend buses – is funded through the Noosa Council’s Sustainable Transport Levy.

New initiatives for the redirected funding could include improved park-and-ride services, supplementary local bus services, enhanced pedestrian and cyclist pathways and e-transport options. Visit: t.ly/4IkD-.

Noosa FM 101.3: 30 years of serving the community Noosa FM 101.3 recently marked 30 years of service to the Noosa and Sunshine Coast communities. The first broadcast aired on 17 January 1995, and throughout its 30-year history the organisation has welcomed over 2,000 members, playing a vital part in local life.

The station's dedicated volunteers produce an impressive 8,736 hours of programming annually, offering free music, information, entertainment and emergency broadcasts.

Their vision is to amplify local, indigenous and Australian talent.

Despite many challenges, Noosa FM 101.3 has evolved into a powerful local broadcaster relying on volunteers to manage operations and raise funds through sponsorships, such as Noosa FM’s Super Sponsor – the Bendigo Bank.

Community support with initiatives such as the containers-for-change program and weekly raffles allows locals to contribute directly, which is crucial in order sustain their vital work. A Noosa council grant officer noted, "Noosa FM is one of the most important pillars of our community."

From its humble beginnings over 30 years ago, Noosa FM 101.3 is now an indispensable part of Sunshine Coast life. Here's to 30 more years of community service! Kate Rider

Buchi Fermentary - wild cultured foods A new store is set to open on Memorial Dr Eumundi on 22 February, with the launch of a retail outlet for the Buchi Kombucha crew called the Buchi Fermentary.

Local charity open day On 1 February the not-for-profit organisation Events 4 Greater Good (E4GG) hosted an open day at their new office at 87 Poinciana Ave, Tewantin.

E4GG’s aim is to create a family of volunteers and businesses that support the charity and raise money, so that 100% of all public donations genuinely go directly to the cause.

Event founder and chairman Oz Bayldon explained the charity’s goals and invited locals to register as volunteers. Activities include assisting individuals with finding accommodation, furniture, food and school supplies for those in need. Planning is also underway for this year’s Noosa Come Together festival, with a new initiative called Comedy with a Cause. The aim is also to host more OzFest music events.

From the new community hub, E4GG plans to deliver a range of wellness and lifestyle workshops for homeless people, domestic violence survivors and those with disabilities.

The events will include silent discos, markets – including car boot, garage, vintage, and record fairs – and networking days for people who can’t afford to live on their own, so they can get to know each other and find people they can

happily share with.

“If you’re passionate about our community, festivals and events, marketing, or building and can donate any amount of time – even if it is for just one event, it doesn’t matter because the more people we have the more voices we have to be heard, to make sure we are delivering as a community, making positive changes both here and further afield,” said Oz. Eumundi Voice is proud to have recently donated funds towards improving E4GG’s website to attract more donations and advertise their activities.

If you’d like to help, email Oz at oz@e4gg.org and request a volunteer registration form.

COUNCILLOR DIV 10 - CR DAVID LAW Safer roads: We’ve completed the resurfacing of Alice, Cook and Ward St and Cash Rd in Eumundi.

Thank you for your patience while we improved these roads for our community.

Eumundi streetscape update: February's focus for the Eumundi Streetscape has been continuing work on the areas adjacent to Dick Caplick Park and near the Etheridge St-Memorial Dr intersection.

Council is continuing to work with local families regarding the existing memorial plaques and benches. More information about the Eumundi Placemaking Memorial Dr Streetscape Project can be found on the project website.

I hope those who registered for the free business support mentoring and business support session to be held on 25 February will benefit from the session provided by the Qld Government's Mentoring for Growth program.

I hope everyone had great start to 2025. Blair and Dave worked on New Year’s Eve but spent most of their time helping our neighbouring division of Noosa, which sees a mass influx of New Year revellers – most of which are youth congregating on Noosa Main Beach.

January saw Eumundi Police respond to 164 calls for service. The number of calls for service has remained constant over the months, and not all these calls for service require intervention.

Some can be as simple as a phone call to address the issue.

Over the last few months, Eumundi Police have been working closely with the Cooroy Police.

The 2 stations are very close and have similar policing duties, which allows both stations to work as a crew of 2 officers. As most policing jobs require at least 2 officers to manage the situation, this model not only provides better safety for our officers but results in a better policing response.

22

Please be mindful when you contact police for assistance it may be the case that our Eumundi officers are not rostered on for that shift, and the call may be covered by the Cooroy Police. If you call police during these times and it is not urgent, our Eumundi officers will be more than happy to follow up and assist when we are back on duty.

Rest assured if it’s urgent, police will attend!

Eumundi Police are always keen to hear from the community regarding any illegal activity.

It may be as simple as something like regular hooning or more serious issues like suspected drug activity. We only see the tip of the iceberg and can’t be everywhere all the time. Either come and speak to us at the station or report it via Policelink on 131 444 or Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000. The Eumundi station is open every Monday and Wednesday 8am-4pm and Friday from 12.30pm-4pm.

My relieving stint as the Officer in Charge (OIC) at Eumundi is coming to an end. The position is still to be filled and hopefully the new OIC will be on deck from mid-April. I am heading back to Noosa Heads Police Station but will be back to

help on a few shifts here and there. I have really enjoyed my time at Eumundi and the challenge of taking on the OIC role. Dave will be relieving for the near future until the position is filled.

Stay safe, look after yourself, your loved ones and the wider Eumundi Community.

COMMUNITY

Grant writing is 20% skill & 80% perseverance Not-for-profit community groups can apply for grants to fund projects, activities and events. Close to home, local councils offer a range of grants, and you can subscribe to their

notification list. Both state and federal members will also put you on a list to notify when grant funding becomes available.

Closer to home, several community groups also offer grant programs such as Experience Eumundi, Eumundi District and Community Assn (EDCA) and Eumundi Voice. It is amazing what volunteers in Eumundi offer other volunteers!

Key tips when writing a grant proposal include thoroughly researching the funder and their guidelines, clearly defining your project goals, being concise and specific in your language, aligning your project with the funder's priorities, providing a detailed budget, and carefully proofreading your application to ensure accuracy and adherence to submission instructions.

SCC offers free grant planning and writing workshops. The next workshop is on 25 February from 12-1pm. These are valuable with ideas from many experienced sources. Bookings are essential. Visit: t.ly/-Cphe.

EUMUNDI ROTARY CLUB

The Science Experience Prior to embarking on their Yr10 and Yr11 school years, 7 fortunate students from the Eumundi region – Jack Bennett, Abigail Bramson, Finn Brimelow, Emmelyn Josika, Liam Langstaff, Frankie Watson and Hannah Young were sponsored by the Rotary Club of Eumundi to participate in The Science Experience.

Spanning 3 fun-filled, knowledge intensive, insightful days, the students – together with around 60 others from across Qld – visited the University of Qld, Qld University of Technology and Griffith University to experience each

24

institution’s science, engineering and technology faculties.

Throughout the experience students performed experiments, participated in workshops and attended lectures which showcased the universities’ unique approaches to tertiary science learning.

The sponsored students were very grateful for the experience provided by Eumundi Rotary.

Highlights included being able to conduct experiments in university laboratories, meeting and talking with senior lecturers and getting a general feel for how life would be at the different university campuses.

Learned scientists and current university students shared valuable information about the wide range of careers and opportunities available to students when interests in science, engineering and technology are pursued. This was inspiring, and helped many of the students determine the future tertiary pathways they wish to follow.

At the Rotary Club’s February meeting students

spoke about their experiences. All agreed that The Science Experience was extremely valuable, and noting they would encourage future students entering Yr10 and Yr11 to participate in the event.

The 7 students would like to thank Eumundi Rotary sincerely for enabling their participation in The Science Experience and for all the ways they support youth across the Eumundi region.

YOUTH

Join the ESS P&C! Eumundi State School (ESS) has a well-earned reputation for engaging students in meaningful learning experiences in a nurturing environment that aims to allow each child to reach their full potential. The learning outcomes in comparison to other schools demonstrate the quality of education at ESS is high and is one of the reasons why many young families have moved to the Eumundi area.

ESS P&C is made up of parents and citizens who wish to make a difference for the children. The school has no problem getting support from parents for the activities and functions required

of the parent body, however management positions are more difficult to fill, as many parents are working and/or caring for children.

If you have an interest in supporting the school community, your skills and knowledge would be a welcome addition to the growing and dynamic parent body. Guidance is available on the P&C Qld website which contains a manual of exactly what is required.

The new principal Rob Jennings assures volunteers: “Getting involved in our school community offers numerous benefits for both parents and citizens and the school. Your involvement will provide you with a unique scope of information about key aspects of education and what makes the school successful.”

The P&C’s role is to: • Work together for the best interests of the children, promoting parent and community engagement, and supporting Eumundi school in every way possible.

• Engage with educators, administrators, and policymakers to ensure our schools are safe,

Join us in 2025 a year of growth, success, and community spirit.

• Provide volunteers with an opportunity to be valued and considered on matters relating to the education of children.

The opportunity awaits! Rob concluded by emphasising that, “being involved in the P&C is an exciting way to collaborate on innovative ideas, discuss important issues and create opportunities to make our school even better.

Cont. from p27 Room at the Pomona Railway Gallery. This has led her to participate in a number of exhibitions on the Sunshine Coast and in Brisbane. She will be the first feature artist at Cart & Co, a new art and homewares space in Cooran where she will exhibit 10 of her oil paintings.

“I have always been interested in art. My mother is very creative and passed her love of art on to me. Ever since I was a toddler I was painting and drawing. This has continued all the way through to my teenage years, where I discovered the magic of oil painting. I started oil painting at 15yo and was completely hooked,” said Ellenie.

Ellenie is planning on going to Florence at the end of the year to continue her classic art training.

“I have always adored the old masters, specifically the works of John William Waterhouse, John Singer Sargent and Alfred Munnings. The modern masters Burton Silverman, Zhaoming Wu and Ruth Fitton have really influenced my style and approach to painting. I am drawn to an "alla prima" approach to painting – which is Italian for at the first try – so instead of layering the paint over many weeks I generally complete the piece in one session.”

The exhibition will open at Cart & Co at 3/2 King St Cooran from 5pm on 28 February and runs until 27 April. Cart & Co is open on Thursday to Sunday from 12noon-4pm, and Saturday 10am4pm. Wendy Birrell

HEALTH

What’s in my medicine?

You know the little, tightly folded pamphlet that is included in your medicine packet, that’s in an eye-watering tiny print size? Well, help is at hand to make it easier to get the information.

You can ask your pharmacist to provide a Consumer Medical Information (CMI) leaflet or download one from the Australian Government’s website called NPS Medicinewise which has a section called Medicine Finder. Simply type in the brand name or the active ingredient and get accurate and useful information about the medication.

The site is hosted by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care.

Descriptions are prepared by manufacturers, so NPS MedicineWise is not responsible for the content. Large text versions are also available …

so no more squinting at the little folder leaflet.

Alternatively, for those without access to a computer, you can call the Medicines Line on 1300 MEDICINE during business hours and speak to a pharmacist to access information about prescription and over-the-counter medicines.

It’s important to find out about your new medicine and revise the information about one you may have been taking for a while.

Your doctor will have explained the purpose of your medicine and determined whether it’s right for you … but we all forget or misremember especially when we take a few different medications, so it’s good to do your own review as well.

This type of review is not self-diagnosis, and it’s not a Dr Google search for symptoms – it’s a way to contribute to looking after yourself by taking an active interest in your health.

For example, I was prescribed Clonac for arthritis.

Its active ingredient is diclofenac sodium. The site lists what Clonac is used for (arthritis is one), when you must not take it (e.g. hypersensitive to aspirin), how you must check with your doctor if you are taking any other medications on the list (e.g. ibuprofen), symptoms of allergic reactions (e.g. swelling of face), and a clear list of medical conditions (e.g. kidney problems) which means you should not take Clonac.

Visit nps.org.au and look for the Consumers tab, then Medicine Finder. Alternatively, request a CMI from your local pharmacist or call the Medicines Line on 1300 MEDICINE (1300 633 424).

ON THIS DAY FEBRUARY 2025

Clean Up Australia Day Clean Up Australia Day occurs on the first Sunday in March each year. It began 35 years ago when Ian Kiernan AO decided to do something about the amount of rubbish lying around. Today Clean Up Australia Day is the country’s largest community-based environmental event.

The idea was born out of an Australian Bicentenary event to Clean Up Lake Macquarie, which was subsequently followed in 1989 by a day to Clean Up Sydney Harbour – initiated by Kiernan and Kim McKay AO. More than 40,000 volunteers collected 5,000 tonnes of rubbish from around the harbour. In 1990, then Prime Minister Bob Hawke launched Clean Up Australia Day. In 1990 94% of rubbish came from discarded packaging and the focus shifted to sorting out what was recyclable. Kiernan campaigned for legislation to reduce packaging and recycle, and in 2008 turned his attention to bottled water – advocating the need for container deposit refunds in Australia.

Kiernan and McKay’s work led to the United Nations Environment Program declaring a Clean Up the World campaign from 1994. Today, volunteers from around 120 countries participate in an annual Clean Up the World weekend held on the third weekend in September.
