KSCC SCHOOL NEWS 

Iam honoured to introduce myself as the new principal, of Kenilworth State Community College and to join this excellent school community. I can assure you that I share in this school community’s dedication to caring for our students every day while providing them with a meaningful learning environment. I have been a resident of Kenilworth for the past eight years and will commence duties at Kenilworth State Community College as the new principal term one 2022. I have had an eye on the Kenilworth principalship for many years and am thrilled that I now have the opportunity to work with the students’, staff and community to build a school atmosphere for continuous improvement, and ensuring our young people have a life of choice not chance. Although I am an educator, I am also a father and grandfather. We live together on a small property just out of town where we run a small herd of beef cattle. I have not always been in education and have had careers in hospitality, agriculture and with the Royal Australian Navy. My wife Susan is retired and helps with our three wonderful grandchildren Lilly aged 4, Savanah 2 and Archer 1. Both our sons and their families also reside on the property. I am looking forward to introducing my family to the KSCC community. The 2022 school year marks my 17th year in education – 15 years as a small school principal. I have travelled the state and been principal of several schools around Bundaberg as well as schools at Ilfracombe, Hopevale, Wheatlands and most recently Beerburrum. I firmly believe that every child can exceed and that the cooperation between home and school builds trust and self-esteem in students, allowing our students to use their highest potential to shape their future, and the future of our community. My goal is building a culture of every child succeeding at Kenilworth State Community College, and I am devoted to continually exploring new ideas to meet the needs of all students and to interact with parents and community members more efficiently. We will be meeting as the staff, and with parents and students throughout the year to identify specific goals in the areas of student achievement, school climate, and parent communication. To the students, I cannot wait to meet you all! I hope that you are excited for this coming school year. It is going to be a meaningful and fun year. We will be learning together to achieve the highest accomplishments. If you see me in the school over the holidays, please stop by and say hello! To conclude, please remember that my door is always open to you. I sincerely welcome your conversation and input during this year. Let us keep our students the primary focus of our work. I can’t wait to celebrate our collective successes during the 2022 school year. Enjoy the Christmas break – remember to be safe on the roads.” Adam Head, Principal.

KENILWORTH AND IMBIL POLICE

The festive season is here and we’re sure everyone is looking forward to Christmas and the new year in 2022. We want to thank everyone for their support through a tough year dealing with the ongoing COVID restrictions. Crime, in general, in both the Imbil and Kenilworth divisions is currently quite low. Drink driving is a constant concern and a recent intercept caught a driver with a breath alcohol reading of 0.193%, which is nearly four times the legal limit. Another driver failed to supply a specimen of breath which resulted in a three month prison sentence. • Our Highway Patrol officers have also been very active in our divisions and have intercepted a few positive drug drivers. • Traffic crashes involving motorbikes are continuing to be a concern, a recent crash in the Kenilworth division tragically claimed the life a motorcyclist. This festive season please do not drink and drive, ask a mate to take you home or sleep over. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Pierre, Bill and Rhys.

REMEMBRANCE DAY 11 NOVEMBER 2021

Remembrance Day was again commemorated at Kenilworth with a small but loyal crowd in the uncertain weather. On the day before, a group pf ladies gathered to make wreaths using flowers and greenery from their own and friend’s gardens. Beautiful flowers donated by two of the leading supermarkets in Nambour who regularly help out the Kenilworth RSL helped make fantastic colourful creations for the voluntary organisations in town as well as for families. The ladies who make the wreaths have a lovely afternoon, and are very proud of their work as they gain in confidence in making the wreaths for both Remembrance and Anzac Days for the past few years. A huge thank you to them, and to the ladies who provided the morning tea after the service.
