NCC Curriculum
Preparing students for a successful future starts at a young age. A strong curriculum combined with a stimulating learning environment has seen Nambour Christian College consistently achieve outstanding academic results.
At NCC, students develop practical skills across eight key learning areas, partake in a range of sporting, outdoor education and arts activities, and learn to live according to Christian values. While these values remain consistent with the teachings of Christ, our dynamic curriculum is always evolving to ensure students receive an education that is in sync with a fast-changing world.
We encourage students to achieve their personal best in all areas of their education and work with parents to ensure each child receives the support they need. To encourage the personal development of students, the curriculum focuses on individual work as well as teamwork.
