Fourteen graduating students from Noosa Pengari Steiner School will present the culmination of a year of inquiry, creativity and personal growth when they showcase their independent research projects to the community this November.
After completing their elective studies and external examinations, the students' final task is to present the findings of a year-long self-directed project inspired by a question, vision or goal of their own making. The Class 12 Project is a cornerstone of the Steiner curriculum worldwide, encouraging students to pursue areas of genuine interest while developing independence, resilience and initiative.
Community members will have the opportunity to experience the students' work during the Class 12 Project: Independent Research Presentations. The presentations will be held at the Noosa Pengari Steiner School Hall, 86 Nyell Rd, Doonan on 13 November from 5.15-7.30pm and 14 November from 8.15am-5pm.
The project is a compulsory component of the NZ Certificate of Steiner Education, a fully accredited senior school qualification that provides pathways to tertiary study and vocational training.
Visitors are invited to attend either session and celebrate the achievements of Class 12 as they share their stories of discovery, determination and growth. Visit: noosasteiner.qld.edu.au. ...

Young Cooran metal artist Banjo Brown has added another achievement to his growing creative journey, winning the Junior Noosa Art Prize 2026 for his striking Swamp Banksia sculpture. The award ceremony at The J Noosa was packed to the rafters, with Banjo and his work receiving high praise from those attending.
At just 14yo, Banjo has already impressed Eumundi Voice readers with his remarkable ability to transform steel into intricate, nature-inspired works. “The Swamp Banksia was a very ambitious and challenging project, and I loved every bit of it,” he said.
Swamp Banksia is his largest sculpture to date, a vertical interpretation of the cross-section of the distinctive Australian native. Banjo spent more than 100 hours creating the piece, using structural welding, blacksmithing, and copper work. ...

From 1 October 2026 to 30 April 2027, a small section at the southern tip of Maroochy North Shore will be temporarily closed to dogs to help protect migratory shorebirds during their critical feeding and resting season.
The seasonal exclusion zone aims to support some of the world's most threatened bird species, whose populations continue to decline. By reducing disturbances, the birds will have a better opportunity to rest and build energy reserves for their long migration back to the Arctic.
Importantly, dogs remain welcome at North Shore. The extensive off-leash beach area from Pincushion Island to Beach Access 132 remains available year-round, along with the off-leash river-side area at Beach Access 136. To maintain access for walkers, council has formalised the new Pincushion Trail, linking the beach and river sides of the spit. All conservation area access tracks and trails remain on-leash zones.
Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) says North Shore was once a major shorebird roosting site, but increasing disturbances from people, dogs, vehicles and watercraft have caused birds to relocate to nearby Goat Island. The seasonal closure is designed to encourage birds to return by providing a safe resting area. A monitoring camera will track the program's effectiveness over time.
The initiative follows extensive community consultation conducted with the University of Qld in 2023. More than 2,000 participants contributed feedback, with many supporting seasonal dog restrictions as a practical way to protect migratory shorebirds. Most respondents also highlighted the importance of shorebird conservation and called for greater education and awareness.
