The Maleny State School P&C Association are committed to providing children with quality learning opportunities delivered in a safe, secure and stimulating environment, while aspiring to deliver the highest standard of care. All our endeavours support the values and mission of Maleny State School, benefiting the educational experience of all students. Our school averages approximately 400 enrolments and our OSHC is licensed for 80 places for Before School, After School and Vacation Care. We are committed to being a Child Safe Organisation and embedding the National Child Safe Principles and providing an environment that ensures cultural safety.
Our OSHC is owned and operated by the Maleny State School P&C Association. This is an existing OSHC service that opened in July 2022 and is managed by the P&C association. The service operates from a stand‑alone and purpose‑built space with close proximity to the hall, large playgrounds and other school facilities. This is an excellent opportunity to continue to grow Maleny OSHC and have a positive impact on the operations of a high‑quality service.
