Noosa Pengari Steiner School is one of only two schools in Queensland to offer a Certificate of Steiner Education (CSE) as our senior secondary qualification.
This qualification has been endorsed by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) as the equivalent of the QCE and is currently offered in over 25 schools around the world.
At NPSS, this qualification allows us to continue with our nationally approved curriculum from Prep through to Class 12.
Consistent with our goal to provide a broad curriculum intended to develop well rounded individuals, the CSE allows us to continue to bring all curriculum areas to the students over Classes 11 and 12, whilst still allowing for students to select from a field of 12 specialist elective subject areas to focus on.
Additionally, in Class 12 our students are given the opportunity to pursue any area of interest and explore that from a practical, theoretical, or artistic perspective. In their process they are guided by a school-based supervisor and an external mentor who specialises in their chosen field of endeavour.
At the end of this, the students then present their learning journey to the school community and this year we are excited to be extending an invitation to the broader sunshine coast region.
This wholistic programme mediates between a classical education and a targeted and self-directed course, and takes our students on a journey focused on personal development and awareness; moral development and; community and environmental awareness – whilst meeting rigorous academic standards.
