New school year. Same classrooms? Not necessarily.
With Term 1, 2027 just around the corner, schools across New Zealand are preparing to welcome students back.
But what happens when your school needs a major upgrade, and there's nowhere else for students to go?
That was the challenge at Omakere School. With existing buildings being replaced on the same site, Portacom delivered a temporary school setup, complete with three classrooms, administration space and bathroom facilities. The buildings were prepared off-site, helping minimise disruption and allowing teaching to continue while the permanent school took shape. Because a school building project shouldn't mean putting learning on hold.
Take a look at how we made it happen 👇
