Enrichment Program

Noosa Christian College facilitates an enrichment program for students in the Primary campus each year. This program runs during Terms 2 and 3 for four weeks at a time (1 hour per week). A variety of activities are offered, which give students opportunity to draw on their personal interests and skills, to be creative, to problem solve and to live out values such as kindness and teamwork. Students are given the opportunity to take part in two activities per year from their preferences of the activities available each term. In recent years, these have included;

 

  • Drama
  • Craft and Service – making gifts for local aged care homes
  • Gardening
  • Cooking
  • Puppetry
  • Photography
  • Singing
  • Kitchen Chemistry
4 to 10 Years

NOOSA ADVENTURER CLUB

Noosa Adventurer Club runs on the first Saturday of every month. It is based at the Noosa Christian College campus and activities include exploring nature, games, outdoor activities, camping, religious instruction and service opportunities. In South Queensland we have a simplified and condensed curriculum to provide better structure and understanding of investiture requirements.

For the Pre-Adventurer program: Little Lamb Class (age 4) and Early Bird Class (age 5), have been adapted from the world wide curriculum to suit the Australian context. Recently our Little Lamb and Early Bird Classes have been adapted to match with Busy Bee, Sunbeam, Builder and Helping Hand.

 

 

AWARDS

Awards are a wonderful way of involving parents and Church family in Adventurer ministry. Consider what skills, hobbies, knowledge and interests your club’s families (and wider church family) have that they can bring to Adventurers through an award? Many awards can be done for the whole Club, and doing them in an interactive and engaging manner (rather than completing worksheets) can make for a time of fun and fellowship.

For more awards you can also go to the GC Youth Adventurer Page.

NOOSA PATHFINDER CLUB

The Pathfinder program provides opportunities for its members to develop holistically including the importance of Spiritual values and a positive mental attitude.

The purpose of the Pathfinder organisation is to meet the needs of young people in a way that is current for this generation. It is relevant, active and develops positive lifestyle habits that will bring out the best in every young person who is involved. The active program will develop a positive well-rounded lifestyle, an appreciation of the outdoors and confidence in their attitudes to life issues. Pathfinders will supplement the home and provide a safe place where this age group can grow into thinking, caring young people who want to contribute to today’s world.

 

 

The Pathfinder Clubs in South Queensland have the choice of four curriculums

1. Traditional Card System
2. Speciality
3. ‘Way to Go’
a. Way to go Pursuits
4. Evidence Based Curriculum

No curriculum method is perfect. They all have weaknesses and the attitude of the club director, teachers and staff really make a big difference in the way they operate. Contact us to discuss how each curriculum works so that you can make an informed decision about what curriculum your club will adopt.

 

HONOURS

 

Honours are a core part of Pathfinders and provide elements of learning, fun, fellowship and self-development. Once an honour is completed, the Pathfinder is awarded a patch to sew onto their Pathfinder sash.

In South Queensland we encourage all Pathfinders and Leaders to keep the honour in Honours and to support this it is important that sufficient documented proof of honour completion is supplied to the District Director for approval.

To view a complete list of honours available to Australian Pathfinders please click here.

All SPD listed honours have workbooks and assessments provided and these honours are preferred. If you wish to incorporate honours from other Divisions, it is important that similar paperwork is completed. It is also possible to design a new honour. Check first if the honour exists if not follow this link to the South Pacific Division site that will have the documentation and process to create an honour.

Whilst we prefer that South Pacific Division honours are used in the first instance, there are many other honours available which can be found at the General Conference Youth Website here.

  • To give assistance to new Pathfinder Leaders by highlighting/focusing on those elements which are important to a club’s success.
  • To give our Leaders & Pathfinders something to strive for throughout the year.
  • To give the Conference Youth Ministries Director and District Directors a ‘big picture’ of our Pathfinder Clubs.
  • To give our Pathfinders and Leaders a sense of achievement, the fruits of which (i.e. the award) can be displayed and shared with their home church.
