📚 Debbie Wells
Sprinter Debbie Wells attended Emmaville Central School, giving her a specific educational connection to the Glen Innes Severn district. At the 1976 Montreal Olympics she ran in Australia’s women’s 4 × 100 metres relay team, which finished fifth. Her athletics record also includes individual sprint competition, with a 200 metres best of 22.98 seconds recorded in 1984.

🏛️ Maurice Timbs
Maurice Timbs was born at Glen Innes in 1917 and attended the local St Joseph’s Convent before winning a bursary to continue his education at Armidale.

His responsibilities also reached the arts: he served as a director of the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust and deputy chairman of the Australian Opera. Glen Innes provided his birthplace and first schooling, preceding a working life that ranged from nuclear policy to helping sustain theatrical and musical institutions.
