SUNSHINE COAST BIOSPHERE
Our Centre is situated in Meridan State College - a dynamic P-12 community of learners on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. Mirroring the natural beauty of our environment which has been recently declared a UNESCO Biosphere, our school community learns around and in our own forest.
After an extensive community consultation process, our school is embarking on our preferred future as a school committed to innovation and excellence in the areas of sustainable futures and emerging technologies. As part of this goal, our school is embracing the challenge of transforming our school environment to be a living, learning model of a sustainable school.

On behalf of the community, Sunshine Coast Council developed a nomination for our region to be recognised by UNESCO as an international site of excellence, known as a biosphere.
Our region has gained international recognition as a special place, joining a world network of UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. The region now proudly stands as an international site of excellence and an area of natural beauty.
Being a biosphere gives the Sunshine Coast further national and international recognition as well as generate niche markets for products, services, facilities and practice.

According to the Sunshine Coast Council website, leading social commentator Bernard Salt recently called the Sunshine Coast the entrepreneurship capital of Australia, based on the proportion of the workforce who owned their own business.
Our region has a unique entrepreneurial ecosystem network of education programs, business incubators, coworking spaces, advocacy events and meetups which actively support and encourage innovation, new ideas, entrepreneurs and startups.
