WHO ARE FGPMORETON?

FGP Moreton Inc. is a registered not-for-profit charity run by a Board of volunteers:

Dr Kay Brumpton, Lauren Newton, Mark Silvester, Pauline Newton, Lex Newton and Dr Spencer Toombes

The board members have strong links with rural Queensland with Pauline Newton and Kay Brumpton having attended Mitchell State School from Grades 1-10; and Mark attending school in Roma.

Pauline is now a head of curriculum at a primary school in Toowoomba and is passionate about rural children having equal opportunities to achieve their God-given potential. Kay is a medical doctor at an Aboriginal Medical Service in Toowoomba and and works for a medical school. She believes to help rural communities we have to address what is called the social determinants of health care and improve the education for all. Mark is a certified public accountant working in the field of self-managed superannuation with his company ‘Align Super Audit’ in Toowoomba. He also holds a Bachelor of Business and a Master of Commerce.

Lex and Lauren (Pauline’s husband and daughter respectively) and Spencer (Kay’s husband) have supported their mission and vision.

Gordon and Gabi Gillmore were original board members of Mitchell early childhood centre management committee until they stepped aside in 2020. Their like minded ideals meant a perfect partnership for starting FGP Moreton Inc.

The whole team want to see and advocate for all children, no matter where they live in Queensland or what their circumstances, to have access to a quality, inclusive early childhood education.

We are passionate about living out our Christian beliefs, social justice and providing support for rural, remote communities to improve local community, education, health and employment.
