Maylands Peninsula Primary School officially opened at the beginning of the 2004 school year as a result of the amalgamation of the Maylands and East Maylands Primary Schools.
Maylands is an area currently undergoing redevelopment and this has added to the significant diversity that exists within the school's student population. This diversity is characterised by student whose backgrounds include refugees from a range of African nations, students from Asia and Europe together with local indigenous students. Additionally, the school draws children from a multitude of socio-economic backgrounds.
