1 GLENCORE COMMUNITY PROGRAM NORTH QUEENSLAND 2014

2 The Glencore Community Program North Queensland has supported several social infrastructure initiatives since 2005, including the development of the Mount Isa Family Fun Park, Townsville s Ronald McDonald House and the Cloncurry Community Precinct. These social infrastructure initiatives provide long-lasting and tangible benefits to the north Queensland communities in which we live and work.

3 Letter from our Chief Operating Officers In 2014 the Glencore Community Program North Queensland (GCPNQ) entered its tenth year of working in partnership with community organisations to address the areas of greatest need in the Queensland communities where our employees live and work. The program demonstrates our commitment to Queensland and our belief that communities should benefit from our operations, both in the short and long term. Since its establishment in 2005 our partnership programs have invested almost $28 million in the north Queensland communities of Mount Isa, Cloncurry, Camooweal, Townsville and Bowen and more broadly throughout Queensland, forming partnerships with charities, schools, community groups and government departments to help make a difference to people across our region. Our partnerships are supporting six key areas: Social and Community Development to develop community capacity and to address social disadvantage including poverty and homelessness Education to break the generational cycle of educational disadvantage Health to support the delivery of essential health and community services Environment to support programs focused on the protection of environmental values 1 In 2014 we re proud to announce over $1.2 million will be invested into eleven community partners who have been chosen for their projects that will improve vital services and facilities in our north Queensland communities. Enterprise and Job Creation to generate jobs and provide skills for disadvantaged people Arts and Culture to support the development of local arts and cultural programs including the protection of Indigenous languages and culture. We re confident these programs are making a real difference and look forward to seeing the success of our 2014 partners.

4 2 Living over 900 kilometres away from the closest neonatal intensive care unit in Queensland, new parents Dan and Marie Horskins from Mount Isa were faced with the challenge of delivering their newborn baby in Mount Isa at only 29 weeks. Following the birth of their baby boy who weighed only 1.55 kilograms, the Townsville Ronald McDonald House provided them a home away from home for over two months and was Marie s support system as baby Sonny grew stronger and stronger each day. Sonny is growing into a healthy baby boy. Paul Rissman, Ronald McDonald House North Queensland Chairman.

5 Ronald McDonald House Family Wing Crisis Accommodation Ninety-eight per cent of families who stay with us come from regional areas of north Queensland, and we receive daily feedback from our families that Ronald McDonald House provides them with a home away from home and a friendly and caring environment that supports the entire family unit. Paul Rissman, Ronald McDonald House North Queensland Chairman. 3 The Ronald McDonald House Charity is an independent, non-profit organisation, that helps seriously ill children and their families when they need it most, by providing emergency accommodation close by the Hospital. Glencore contributed $1 million to the Ronald McDonald House Charity in Townsville to help construct a new 12 bedroom accommodation wing at Townsville s Ronald McDonald House, to provide emergency accommodation for parents and families who have seriously ill children staying in The Townsville Hospital. The $3 million new accommodation wing was completed in late 2012, doubling the capacity of the Townsville Ronald McDonald House, making the service available to more people from rural and regional north Queensland while their children stay in The Townsville Hospital. Paul Rissman, Ronald McDonald House North Queensland Chairman, said due to growing demand for their services, the original 12 room accommodation complex was always filled to capacity with families who required this critical accommodation. Through our partnership with Glencore we have doubled the capacity of the House and we can now accommodate more north Queensland families in need, Paul says. One of those families was Marie and Dan Horskins of Mount Isa whose lives were turned upside down by the unexpected premature birth of their baby Sonny. Following the birth of their baby boy who only weighed 1.55 kilograms the uncertainty surrounding both Marie and her newborn s health was an insurmountable challenge to deal with, however the stress of what was to come was in some way relieved by the safe haven of the Ronald McDonald House and their friendly staff who feel like family to Marie and Dan. Living so close to the hospital, I was able to see Sonny as much as I wanted, and speak with others in similar situations. It helped me feel less alone with Dan at work 900 kilometres away. Everything you could think of was taken care of by the friendly staff and volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House from getting baby supplies to eating a healthy meal, the team were truly amazing, Marie says. Over 2,000 families have used the accommodation facility since it opened, many of them from Mount Isa, Cloncurry and surrounding communities, and some of them were Glencore employees and their families. Living in north west Queensland can often mean that specialist care is a long way from home, and without access to the House, a large number of families would need to go to great expense to be with their children while they undergo specialist treatment at The Townsville Hospital.

7 Cloncurry Shire Council Cloncurry Community Precinct We were proud to provide $2.75 million towards the Cloncurry Community Precinct, partnering with Cloncurry Shire Council, the Queensland Government and the Australian Federal Government to deliver this important infrastructure project for Cloncurry. 5 The $8 million Precinct lies in the heart of Cloncurry s business district and incorporates the Ernest Henry Mining Function Rooms, Bob McDonald Library, Dr David Harvey-Sutton Gallery and the refurbished Cloncurry Shire Hall, all centred on Community Open Space. This modern facility has improved existing infrastructure, which was unable to provide sufficient space and services for the town s diverse needs, whilst preserving a rich part of the community s history. Andrew Daniels, Mayor of Cloncurry Shire, says the Precinct has helped to make Cloncurry a more attractive place to live and be. Since opening in August 2012, the Precinct has hosted several major events including two balls, conferences and art shows, as well as a continuous stream of smaller community gatherings. In 2013, the building was awarded State Winner in the Queensland Excellence in Construction Awards for Sporting and Community Facilities $5 million $20 million category and was a finalist in the Regional Achievement and Community Awards for Energy and Sustainability. The facility will no doubt remain a vital part of the Cloncurry community for future generations to enjoy. With this premier facility we can not only provide top class venues and recreational and learning facilities for our community but attract new business and services to our town, Mayor Daniels says. The Dazzle Ball was one event held to mark the official opening of the Cloncurry Community Precinct

8 Partnerships In 2014, eleven north Queensland community groups have been chosen to receive over $1.2 million in funding to address the areas of most need such as homelessness, patients recovering from addiction, and school holiday programs to empower young people Partnerships THE SALVATION ARMY AUSTRALIA EASTERN TERRITORY The Salvation Army Mount Isa Recovery Services Centre The Salvation Army is one of the world s largest providers of social aid and focuses on a wide range of social support services.

9 7 Mount Isa Swim Squad member Liam Sweeney trains at the Mount Isa Pool the Mount Isa City Council to extend the heating process for the leisure pool for toddlers and young children. This enables the facility to remain open year round, meaning greater access for toddlers and young children to learn to swim and participate in other lifestyle activities, helping to increase the liveability of Mount Isa. Our partnership with the school will fund the installation of furniture, equipment and air conditioning for the Science Room and Laboratory in the Junior Secondary Building. The introduction of an additional, quality education option is expected to increase the retention and attraction rates of families to the Cloncurry community. CLONCURRY STATE SCHOOL Shade for Primary classes and Seniors Retreat Cloncurry State School is a co-educational state school with approximately 320 students from Prep to Year 12. Our partnership with Cloncurry State School will provide a pergola in the Prep play area, shade outside Primary classrooms and a Seniors Retreat outside the Year 11 and 12 classrooms. With the extreme temperatures in North West Queensland, sun protection is a priority for the school. Additional shade will encourage students to be more active and spend time outside, while reducing the risk of sun and heat-related illnesses. ST JOSEPH S CATHOLIC SCHOOL Science Laboratory fit-out St Joseph s Catholic School is a catholic co-educational school with more than 200 students from Prep to Year 9. The school expanded to secondary education in 2014, offering a second option for Cloncurry students entering Year 8 and 9. CLONCURRY PCYC Youth and Community Engagement Coordinator Cloncurry PCYC is committed to youth development and improving the lifestyle of the local community through sport and recreational activities. Our three year partnership will enable Cloncurry PCYC to employ a Youth and Community Engagement Coordinator who will develop a long term Crime Prevention Strategy for Cloncurry and surrounding communities, including Dajarra, McKinlay, Normanton and Karumba. The Coordinator will develop a holistic approach to crime prevention and will implement programs such as Drum Beat, Team UP and other recognised PCYC Youth Leadership programs. Working directly with local youth, the programs will target the causes of youth crime, including boredom, lack of supervision and lack of engagement activities.

10 8 Sport for Life is an exciting community event for the children and young people of Cloncurry and Mount Isa. We always receive a great response to our programs and it s a great way for kids to get involved in sport and learn some important healthy lifestyle messages throughout the program. Eleanor Cesari, Program Manager at Stride Foundation

11 Stride Foundation Sport for Life program My son is young but loved all aspects of the program. He was excited and keen to attend every day. Having structured programs that cost the lower socio-economic families in our community nothing are amazing. Being geographically isolated makes these programs even more invaluable to us. Heidi Rix, Parent 9 Stride Foundation is a non-profit, non-government organisation dedicated to helping improve the physical, mental and social well-being of young people and their communities. Stride works with young people in communities across Australia who may be disadvantaged through poverty, suffering, distress and helplessness. Through the GCPNQ, we have partnered with the Stride Foundation to deliver the Sport for Life program in Mount Isa since The program is aimed at young people aged years and uses high profile sporting role models to deliver health education and life skills workshops to young people living in remote communities. Sport for Life workshops were held each term with students from Sunset Primary School, Healy State School, Central State School and Townview Primary School attending hip hop, soccer, basketball, ball skills and yoga workshops throughout The hip hop workshops, delivered with the Indigenous Hip Hop Project (IHHP), were led by local resident and recent IHHP recruit, Jericho Young. Jericho s involvement was well received by students who were excited to recognise a local as their mentor. Lauren Colthorpe (Australian Matildas), Rachel Flanagan (Australian Opals) and Sophie Smith (Olympic Bronze Medallist Water Polo) led the soccer, basketball and ball skills workshops, respectively, as well as Healthy Habits and How Feelings Effect Behaviour interactive activities, reinforcing the importance of leading healthy lifestyles and introducing simple and manageable habits for students to enjoy. Healy State School children meet Olympic swimmer Chris Wright and be inspired through engagement with role models from the Australian Institute of Sport. Working with Cloncurry PCYC to deliver On the Ball in Cloncurry, more than 40 youth attended the first program during the April school holidays. This number grew to 51 for the December workshops, demonstrating the successful introduction of Stride Foundation and their programs to the community. Due to its success, we will continue to support the Sport for Life program in Cloncurry and Mount Isa in 2014 with an additional $85,000, taking our total funding contribution over four years to $375,000. Eleanor Cesari, Program Manager at Stride Foundation, said Sport for Life had received fantastic feedback from North West communities and Stride is excited to bring the program back for another year.

The GCPNQ partnered with Act of Kids for the Learn to be Safe with Emmy program which is a protective behaviours program delivered to grade one students in a classroom setting for one hour each week, for five weeks. The focus of the program is to reduce the risk and consequences of harm for children by providing them with the skills to speak up if they experience harm or feel unsafe. Using early learning principals, Learn to be Safe with Emmy helps kids to identify their feelings in situations where they feel safe and unsafe, and most importantly, what to do if they feel unsafe or find themselves in unsafe situations. BOOKS IN HOMES Empowering children through reading Books in Homes Australia is a registered notfor-profit charitable organisation that helps underprivileged children improve their literacy skills and develop and maintain a love for reading. The GCPNQ partnered with Books in Homes to provide books to students across ten schools within the north Queensland communities of Bowen, Cloncurry, Mount Isa, Camooweal and Townsville. Through the program every student at these schools receives nine books a year, over two years, to take home and start building their own home libraries, increasing their exposure to quality reading material and fostering a greater love of reading that will hopefully last for a lifetime. Students choose books from a Preview Pack of 48 books which is donated to each school library each term. Due to the success of this partnership, and demand from students, families and teachers alike, this partnership will continue until SOUTHERN GULF CATCHMENTS Environment and Community Project Officer Southern Gulf Catchments is a communitybased organisation responsible for strategic and sustainable natural resource management, planning and implementation in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria region of north west Queensland.
