The snippets returned were unrelated to suburb demographics (e.g., the 2007 film, a game streaming host, and health insurance pages). No specific figures for Australian-born residents or dominant overseas birthplaces were available, so this information cannot be confirmed from the given sources.

Working-parent support (OSHC)

Information about Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) at Montessori Noosa was not present in the provided search results. The snippets located only covered general Montessori educational philosophy and the Montessori Australia directory page, which did not list any OSHC provider details, operating hours, or enrolment arrangements. Families seeking this information would need to contact the school directly.
