Pacific Paradise, Queensland

Download coordinates as: Pacific Paradise is a suburb of Maroochydore in the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.

[3] Thousands of years before European occupancy, the north shore of the Maroochy River was the land resource area of the Toombra clan of the Undanbi people.

Using the natural landscape as a schoolroom, skills and knowledge were acquired by observation and through tutoring by their elders.

In the 1890s two children, Eleanor May and Harry Searle, were born to the Baker family who owned Portion 102V, Parish of Maroochy, County of Canning (the location of Pacific Paradise State School today).

However one family, the Peatlings, sent their youngest son Frederick John, 6 miles (9.7 km) to the Diddillibah Provisional School that opened in 1885.

[4] In March 1959 the chairman of Maroochy Shire Council, Arthur Low, proposed to Jack Pizzey, the Queensland Minister for Education, that sites for future schools should be acquired in the area.

In 1982 Gordon Simpson, the state government member for Cooroora, recognised the necessity for a school to cater for the growing population.
