A unique learning environment

PROVIDING A HOLISTIC EDUCATION

Situated in a delightful semi-rural setting just 20 minutes from Noosa Heads, Hastings Street and beaches lies Noosa Adventist College. The College was established to provide Christian education to the families of the Sunshine Coast and Hinterland. The College commenced operations in January 2003 with a 30 acre site at the western edge of Cooroy, a charming and rapidly growing town located on the Bruce Highway just 30 minutes drive north of the Nambour/Maroochydore region and 35 minutes south of Gympie. The College currently offers Kindergarten to Year 12.

Our Mission

To actively build relationships and provide students with a holistic education, engaging them in a community of faith and learning to develop character, values and skills for life.

Our Vision

To inspire and lead students into a personal relationship with God through Adventist education.

Our Guide

Matthew 7:12 “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you…”

Philippians 4:8 “…whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.”

Adventist Education

Philosophy Statement

The Seventh-day Adventist philosophy of education is Christ-centred. We believe that Jesus is the ultimate example of ‘love in action’ and He wants us to do likewise. As such, Adventist Education is a vital ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and is committed to sharing God’s life-transforming love.
 
We believe that Jesus relates to us on a personal level, presenting His character as the ultimate example. His love and grace are the foundation of our relationship with Him. Therefore, Adventist Education seeks to reveal Jesus and nurture all “… to act justly, to love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8 CSB). We are children of Christ and He says to us all, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.” (John 15:4 ESV).
 
By daily abiding in Jesus, we can find purpose, hope, and joy, even during difficult times. As such, Adventist Education strives to be transformative. It seeks to impart more than academic knowledge through the balanced development of the whole person: spiritually, mentally, socially, and physically. It seeks to develop a life of faith in God and a respect for the dignity of all people. It seeks to guide students “to be thinkers, and not mere reflectors of other people’s thoughts” (White, E. Education,1903). It promotes loving service rather than selfish ambition; and it embraces all that is true and good.
 
Our schools and early learning services seek to be thriving, nurturing, learning communities where Jesus is central, and where our students and young children may become all that God intends them to be.

Building Pathways to Success

At Noosa Adventist College, we are the very essence of a small school with a big heart. We believe that the success of your child is dependent upon the development and nurturing of positive and proactive relationships and partnerships between our staff, yourself and your child. Our College provides students with opportunities to pursue success along a variety of pathways, be they spiritual, academic, physical, artistic, emotional or social.
