Students inspired to celebrate strengths

Principal Anthony Green with students of Nambour State College ... “We work hard to empower our students with choice.”

For decades Nambour State College has been the largest education provider in Nambour and with each year it has gone from strength to strength.

“We work hard to empower our students with choice,” said Principal Anthony Green. 

“From the moment they step through our gates, as either a toddling preppie, a fresh-faced Grade 7 student or other, our 1400 students have access to subjects, programs and pathways significantly more diverse, supportive and real-world based than many of them realise,” he said. 

“For decades we have embraced and harnessed the many skills our students arrive at school already equipped with (academic or otherwise), and then we help them to learn new ones,” said Mr Green. 

“This is achieved through not only the traditional classroom, but also our academic, creative arts and sporting acceleration programs, our lunchtime clubs (including our Kitchen Garden program), our direct-to-industry careers officer and academic coaches, our hands-on working farm and our celebrations of excellence in all its forms.”

From Prep through to Grade 12, students are encouraged to develop and celebrate their strengths through the school community celebrations and showcases. 

“These include PBL Assemblies with class of the week, Junior Campus and Junior Secondary Celebration Assemblies (which also celebrate outstanding individual improvement), College Awards Evening, Extravadance, Music Nights and many more,” Mr Green said.

“Every year we are excited about welcoming new families to our college,” he said. “And to those who are already part of our community, we are so proud to have you.”
