Noosa District State High School Junior Secondary is a distinct phase of education that specifically caters to the learning and emotional needs of young adolescents (Years 7 – 9). Students are engaged in a holistic rigorous curriculum.
This ensures health, wellbeing and has high expectations of teachers, students and parents. Our aim is to ensure that every student can thrive as life-long, resilient learners and be successful and valuable.
We are extremely fortunate to be able to offer our school community a unique campus structure where student’s transition from primary school to a purpose built Junior Secondary Campus at Pomona just for Year 7 and Year 8 students.
The Junior Secondary Campus has ensured that we have Junior Secondary teachers with the right skills, capabilities and attributes that will effectively manage the distinct learning needs of young adolescents.
Many opportunities for students to take on a leadership role. Leadership structure link to sports house to ensure a strong identity. A structured program to develop student leadership skills. At Noosa District SHS – Junior Secondary Campus we meet the social and emotional needs of Junior Secondary students with a strong focus on pastoral care, building life skills and having personal goals.
Students are placed into a core class with a reduced number of core teachers. They are with their core class students for all lessons with the exception of Languages. Core teachers work together as a team to plan for the learning activities and welfare of the class.
Opportunities for all students to achieve success–Learning support, Advanced Learner programs e.g math extension, writers club, Leadership programs, Indigenous support, performing art programs e.g guitar club, dance group. We want parents to stay connected with their students' learning when they enter high school. Parent involvement in assemblies, special events, award ceremonies and leadership presentations will be welcomed.
