Year 7 Students

Program Overview

Year 7: Program Overview At Noosa Christian College, Year 7 has been part of High School since 2011. Our program features dedicated Year 7 teachers, who will assist your child with the transition into Secondary College. We believe that Year 7 students continue to need much of the support structures that a Primary school classroom provides. This is why we have purpose-built systems and structures in our Year 7 program to ensure your child does not get lost in the ‘big school’ environment.

YEAR 7 STUDENTS

NCC BENEFITS

Year 7 students at NCC enjoy the following benefits:

  • Students have a dedicated Year 7 teacher for some of the key areas of learning and students do not need to change classrooms as often as the higher grades do.
  • Students are introduced to specialist area subjects and teachers in their first year of High School. This allows students to have quality teaching and learning experiences, while getting a taste of a broad range of subject areas.
  • Year 7 students are provided with their own locker, intentionally located right outside their classroom to assist them in becoming familiar with the routine of using a locker.
  • Every student is provided with a laptop that is fully equipped and resourced with all required software; accidental insurance and accidental damage protection; access to College controlled and filtered internet and also printing services.

Students are placed in a ‘subject rotation’ system in Year 7 which allows every student to experience all areas of the curriculum. Practically, it means that your child studies specialist subject areas in the first 6 months (Semester 1), and then studies other specialist areas in the second 6 months (Semester 2).

Year 7 students also participate in the full High School sport program which includes ‘Surf Lifesaving Skills’ (Term 1) and elective recreational sports (Terms 2, 3 & 4).

Year 8 Students

Program Overview

Year 8: Program Overview

Year 8 students attend their core subject classes in the more traditional High School format, that is, with a variety of teachers across subject areas and in different classrooms according to the subject of study.

The College’s curriculum for the Core subject areas of Maths , English , Science and Humanities  for years 7-10 are based on the Australian Curriculum which was rolled out in 2012 under the joint supervision of Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA), and Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ). Other subject areas follow the Education Queensland Curriculum.
