The Year 7 TRIBE Program supports a smooth transition from Primary to Secondary and childhood to teenage years. Recognising there are fundamental physical, cognitive, social and emotional shifts at these times, and that our learners may require specific skilling to enable them to function effectively.
The Wellbeing Program is part of the College curriculum and involves bush walking, abseiling, hiking, camping, service projects, learning new skills and team building. Our Year 9 students learn to stretch, develop and grow their ability to adapt, create and persevere. There is also an annual Year 9 Survivor Camp.
Work experience placements during Year 10 offer a valuable opportunity for students to explore career options, develop essential skills, build professional networks, and make informed decisions about their future pathways. It complements their academic learning and contributes to their wholistic development as they transition into the workforce.
Here are some words from employers about a couple of our 2024 students:
The senior years of secondary school offer students incredible opportunities for experiential learning and personal growth. Here’s a breakdown of the unique experiences provided to students in Year 10, Year 11, and Year 12:
Year 10: RAW Impact Service Trip to a Southwest Queensland Indigenous Community
Year 11: Exploration of University Life, Cooranbong, and Sydney
Year 12: Service Trip to Aore, Vanuatu
These experiences not only complement students’ academic studies but also foster personal development, cultural appreciation, and a sense of social responsibility, preparing them to navigate the complexities of the world beyond secondary school.

Noosa Adventist College proudly supports students who participate in Interschool Equestrian competitions.
Each year, students have the opportunity to compete in two non-official interschool competitions held at the Maryborough Equestrian Centre. These events cater for young riders across a range of grade levels and provide a supportive, enjoyable introduction to competition.
Each year in June, the first competition is hosted by Aldridge State High School.
The August competition is hosted by Riverside Christian College and information can be found via the Fraser Coast Interschool Equestrian Competition Facebook page:

Many of our younger riders begin with the unofficial Maryborough competitions, which provide a fun and inclusive environment where students can try a variety of events they may not otherwise experience.
Families interested in unofficial equestrian events are welcome to be added to our equestrian email list. This ensures you receive notification of competition updates.
Students may also participate in official competitions, which include:
