History
Maudsland Provisional School opened on 13 October 1879 under head teacher John William Scott and became a state school on 1 January 1909. It closed on 15 April 1963 and its remaining students and its buildings were transferred to Coomera State School. The school grounds were converted to parkland by the Albert Shire Council.
Maudsland was connected to the telephone network in 1924.
