This is a list of schools in the Shire of Noosa (Noosa) and the Sunshine Coast Region (Sunshine Coast) of Queensland, Australia, including both the urban areas and surrounding hinterland. Prior to 2015, the Queensland education system consisted of primary schools, which accommodated students from Kindergarten to Year 7 (ages 5–13), and high schools, which accommodated students from Years 8 to 12 (ages 12–18). However, from 2015, Year 7 became the first year of high school.

Private schools

Catholic schools

In Queensland, Catholic primary schools are usually (but not always) linked to a parish. Prior to the 1970s, most schools were founded by religious institutes, but as these institutes' membership declined, and as the Church underwent major reforms, lay teachers and administrators began to take over the schools; this process was completed by approximately 1990.

Schools in the Sunshine Coast region are administered by the Catholic Education Office, Archdiocese of Brisbane. The CEO is supported by the Queensland Catholic Education Commission, which coordinates administration, curriculum, and policy across the Catholic school system. Enrolment preference is given to Catholic students from the parish or local area, although non-Catholic students are admitted if room is available.
