History
Principal Ross Reid established the school in 2003. It has grown into a Kindergarten to Year 12 school with a one-to-one laptop program for the Secondary College (Years 7 to 12).[5] In 2011, the school celebrated its first graduation of a year 12 class.[5]
In 2011, the John Hogg, Senator for Queensland and President of the Australian Senate, officially opened a new A$2 million library funded entirely by the Australian Government Building Education Revolution (BER) scheme.[5] Noosa Christian College is one of 55 Adventist schools in Australia. These Adventist schools have received A$100 million as part of the Australian government's education modernisation program.[6]
