The Village School Gold Coast

Coolangatta, QLD

Suburb socio-economic profile

Coolangatta is a coastal suburb in the City of Gold Coast, Queensland, and is the Gold Coast's southernmost suburb, bordering New South Wales. The 2016 census recorded a population of 5,948, but the provided sources do not include data on income levels (median weekly household income), age distribution, or the proportion of families versus singles, so a definitive socio-economic classification (affluent/middle/working-class) cannot be confirmed from these results.

Most common foreign country of birth

The most common foreign country of birth for Coolangatta residents is not mentioned in any of the provided search results or page contents. No data on birthplace demographics, including the percentage of Australian-born residents, is available in these sources.

Working-parent support (OSHC)

No specific Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) provider or hours are listed for The Village School in the provided sources. A search for OSHC returned information for Canterbury College (a different school), which offers Before School Care from 6:30–8:00 am, After School Care from 3:15–6:00 pm, and Vacation Care from 6:30 am–6:00 pm, but this does not apply to The Village School.

School culture

The provided sources contain no information about The Village School's culture, values, or extracurricular activities. The search results for "Extracurricular" returned unrelated content about US administrative villages and a Colorado bagel shop, so no specific activities or clubs at The Village School (e.g., sports teams, music, drama) could be identified.

Suburb vibe and groceries

Coolangatta is described as a coastal suburb, but specific family amenities (parks, playgrounds, community centres) are not listed in the sources. For groceries, no specialty or ethnic supermarkets (e.g., Asian, Indian, or health food stores) in or near Coolangatta are identified; the only Australian grocery chain mentioned in the results is IGA, but its presence in Coolangatta is not confirmed.

Commute

Public transport in the region is coordinated by Translink, with train services operated by Queensland Rail. Coolangatta is not directly served by a heavy rail line; the closest Queensland Rail line is the T5 Varsity Lakes line, but the specific bus route and estimated travel time to Brisbane's Central Station are not provided in the sources. The L1 tram line (Helensvale to Burleigh Heads) also does not extend to Coolangatta, so no exact transit time can be stated.
