Noosa Christian College is a co-educational Primary and Secondary College, located in Cooroy, near Noosa, Queensland, Australia. The college is owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church and its sister college, Northpine Christian College, is located in Dakabin, Queensland, approximately 1 hour south of Cooroy. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system.[1][2][3][4]

History

[edit]

Principal Ross Reid established the school in 2003. It has grown into a Kindergarten to Year 12 school with a one-to-one laptop program for the Secondary College (Years 7 to 12).[5] In 2011, the school celebrated its first graduation of a year 12 class.[5]

During the 2011 year, the Hon John Hogg, Senator for Queensland and President of the Australian Senate, officially opened a new A$2 million library funded entirely by the Australian Government Building Education Revolution (BER) scheme.[5] Noosa Christian College is one of 55 Adventist schools in Australia. These Adventist schools have received A$100 million as part of the Australian government's education modernisation program.[6]

Spiritual aspects

[edit]

All students take religion classes each year that they are enrolled. These classes cover topics in biblical history and Christian and denominational doctrines. The student body meet once a week for a chapel service in two groups, one for primary students and the other secondary students.

Sports

[edit]

The college offers touch football for Year 1 to Year 12, senior and junior boys and girls teams.
