Pokeno Primary School

Pokeno Primary School now boasts a brand-new, two-level building featuring six spacious classrooms.

Each level is equipped with separate boys’ and girls’ restrooms, as well as meticulously designed staff offices, convenient kitchenettes, and comfortable sitting areas. This environment encourages open learning, complemented by breakout spaces tailored for focused individual work.

Constructed primarily with structural steel, the building incorporates a ribbed timber mid-floor and precast stairs. The exterior showcases a harmonious blend of steel cladding and weatherboards, accentuated by a vibrant coloured wall cladding system that enhances its aesthetic appeal. Thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces feature seating areas, pathways, and drinking fountains, while the building’s water supply is fully filtered for purity.

Inside, every classroom is equipped with cutting-edge heating and cooling systems, seamlessly integrated with CO2 sensors that automatically adjust windows for optimal ventilation. The installation of top-grade smoke detectors, fire suppression systems, and high-speed data connections ensures the utmost safety and connectivity.

Additionally, Astley has delivered two new car parks as part of the project, comprising approximately 350 meters of retaining walls, stairs, and access ramps. These facilities accommodate around 40 vehicles, catering to the needs of Pokeno’s rapidly expanding community. Astley takes great pride in its contribution to both stages of this important project for Pokeno School.
