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.

The program, which has been met with enthusiasm from students and parents alike, provides an opportunity for learners to connect and learn with like-minded peers in one of five Pinnacle interest strands: Athletes, Creatives, Cultivators, Future Leaders and Innovators.
