Nambour State College Pinnacle Program: Reach the peak of your passions
To foster the talents and passions of its students, Nambour State College proudly presents the Pinnacle Program.
The Junior Secondary initiative runs for Years 7, 8 and 9 and offers young minds a platform to explore special interests and reach their potential.
While students learn together for core curriculum areas such as English, Maths, Science, and Humanities, they also benefit from an additional lesson dedicated to their specific strand, ensuring a well-rounded and engaging experience.
