Bentley Park Outside School Hours Care 

Welcome to Fun Squad Bentley Park! We are so excited for you to be part of our Seriously Fun family.

PCYC Queensland's Fun Squad is the biggest provider of outside school hours experiences in Queensland. We know that fun fuels minds, and that's why we take it seriously.  Our child-centric approach and fun, educational program is complemented by our highly experienced team of Educators.

Our Fun Squad is designed to ensure children are happy, healthy, thriving and having some serious fun.

Your child will be supported to thrive through fun, engaging activities that fire up their curiosity, enhance their wellbeing and boost their resilience and confidence. 

Fun Squad and PCYC Queensland

PCYC Queensland is a trusted organisation. We have experience and research behind us, and children and young people are at the centre of all we do. 

Our 750-person strong Fun Squad teams are backed by 1,529 PCYC Queensland Business Partners, Sport and Rec and Youth and Community Program team members as well as, 2,700 volunteers and the Queensland Police Service. We are strong and well-supported.

Before School Fun sets up young brains and bodies for the day of learning ahead. Early morning is a key time to set the tone for a great day, through engaging activities, sports, and games. Get the feel-good vibes in early!

After School Fun is the perfect way to top off a great day of learning, with options of mindfulness and chill-out activities – or more vigorous activities to burn off that energy. Regardless of what kind of day your child has had, and what they need to round off the day – our Educators will ensure their needs are met.

Holiday Fun is all about making the most of those longer days with friends and creating fun, memorable experiences – what childhood is all about.

School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI)

The Australian Government has established the School Student Broadband Initiative External link (SSBI) to provide free home internet until 31 December 2025 for up to 30,000 unconnected families across Australia with school aged students.

• have no active broadband service over the NBN network. Having a mobile internet service does not affect eligibility
• live in a premises that can access a standard NBN service
• not have had an active NBN connection during the previous 14 days
• have their suitability determined via an assessment conducted by the NRC.

To apply, families can directly contact the NRC or be referred by a participating nominating organisation - The Smith Family or the NRC .
