INFORMATION NIGHT
THE NOOSA Pengari Steiner School which is located in Doonan is inviting the community who are interested in finding out about Steiner education to their information night which will be held on Tuesday, July 30 at their School Hall.
The high school information night is an opportunity to hear about the classes and programmes that are offered at Noosa Pengari Steiner School, including the centrepiece of the students’ educational journey – the Class 12 project.
Tertiary pathways will also be discussed which lead to the school’s internationally recognised senior certificate, known as the Certificate of Steiner Education (CSE). There will be presentations from several key members of the school management team, a chance to hear from the high school subject-specific teachers and a presentation from graduating students.
The Certificate of Steiner Education is an alternative senior secondary qualification and is recognised as an equivalent to the Queensland Certificate of Education and is approved by the Queensland Curriculum Assessment Authority and by the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre.
Student work is assessed against an internationally recognised standard of achievement and assessment design is varied and multimodal. Students are not required to sit high-stakes exams and students engage in a year-long self-guided personal interest project which includes practical and research elements and is known as the Class 12 Project. This has been used by students to gain direct entry into university.
The evening is open to any families, whether they are current school families or not, please bring your questions and your curiosity.
There will be canapes and a welcoming string ensemble at 6pm, with the presentations beginning at 6:30pm.
About Noosa Pengari Steiner School
Situated on 25 acres in Doonan the school has been in operation since 1996. As with all Steiner schools, Noosa Pengari endeavours to educate equally in the areas of academia, artistic expression and practical skill, (the head, heart and hands) in an integrated way.
Students are guided through their high school years by their Class Guardians who travel with the students from Class 8 to Class 12 and are responsible for student wellbeing and pastoral care. This relationship deepens throughout the years and is based on respect and reverence for the individual’s unfolding journey.
The comprehensive classical high school curriculum aims to develop well-rounded human beings with a thorough understanding of themselves and the world. Through the Main Lesson programme students learn about botany, philosophy, history, chemistry, economics, major belief systems, Australia’s First Nations history and culture, mechanics, geometry, astronomy and more. The Steiner High School curriculum offers a breadth of knowledge and values deep and critical thinking.
