Middle School
Security, Support, Success
NCC Middle School aims to combine fresh and relevant academic challenges within a safe, nurturing environment. The emphasis is on security, support and success. As the first school on the sunshine coast to offer Middle School, we know how to nurture and support students through this exciting and challenging phase of life.
Security, Support, Success
In 1999, in recognition that adolescence has its own characteristics, elements and challenges, Nambour Christian College opened its Middle School, the first school to do so on the Sunshine Coast.
The Middle School for Years 7, 8 and 9 is part of an integrated learning program that begins at NCC in Prep and flows through to Year 12. However, because adolescence is a distinct developmental phase, it requires a unique response. Being the bridge between Junior and Senior schooling, Middle School aims to nurture, stimulate and challenge students.
To assist all students to learn effectively, the curriculum has been written to the Australian Curriculum and re-designed with an innovative, integrated and practically oriented focus. As much as possible, learning is made relevant to the lives of young people and the activity-based emphasis more adequately meets the needs of young adolescents.

John Flynn Learning Centre
A significant milestone for the NCC Middle School was the opening of the John Flynn Learning Centre in 2009. Comprising nine classrooms, each with their own extension areas and rainforest fringed balconies, this building has further enhanced the special sense of identity for our Middle School students. In 2015 two flexible learning classrooms were added to the Middle School where teachers and students can use the learning space in a variety of ways.
Complementing the John Flynn Learning Centre is a large undercover recreation area for the Middle School that is used extensively for assemblies, rehearsals, sport and social interaction.
