Located in a key growth area of Perth, Aveley North Primary School provides a cohesive and inclusive environment with integrated kindergarten facilities and educational support building.

Carabiner was initially engaged to develop a masterplan for the new 565 place primary school, guiding the development of the campus across two key stages. The brief required the fast-tracked development of a temporary pre-primary and kindergarten ‘annexe’ on the campus in order to fulfil immediate need, then the delivery of the full primary school as a second stage in readiness for the commencement of the 2019 academic year. The new Primary School comprises 3 general learning buildings, an adminsitration building incorporating a dental therapy centre, a specailist learning building accommodating Visual Arts and Science, a covered assembly building and extensive sporting facilities including multi-purpose courts and an oval. An additional educational support building was added to our scope once the project was underway.

We retained a stand of mature trees that form a feature through the centre of the school and achieved the seamless integration of the pre-primary and kindergarten annexe and the education support building with the other permanent school buildings. As a result of our careful masterplanning, the ‘temporary’ annexe facility has been retained as a well utilised, permanent fixture.
