Our teams are unmatched in experience and quality of offering and our sessions are seriously fun, with activities designed to spark curiosity and enhance learning.

For Schools

At Fun Squad, we ensure that every service we open is a seriously fun experience. We work through the process of opening a Fun Squad like a well-oiled machine, and your school will benefit from our efficiency. Our process includes communicating effectively with parents around enrolments, bookings, invoicing, fee collection and minimising any effects the transition may have on the children.

We also know it’s important to schools to support their community. As a not for profit and registered charity the income generated from Fun Squad goes back into supporting the service and local community; every dollar we spend goes into enhancing communities through youth development. We offer a true partnership with schools and the community by supporting school events and ensuring our Fun Squad program supports the school curriculum policies and culture.

Join us on this exciting journey where your experience of us, children’s learning, laughter, and the community are our key priorities. If you would like a PCYC Queensland Fun Squad service to work in partnership with your school, please contact us.
