WELCOME TO KAS POKENO
Our Pokeno programme has been open since 2020.
Term 1 of 2026 will see our Pokeno Programme run from the Pokeno Community Hall, with our staff operating a walking bus to and from the venue. On Tuesday afternoons, the programme will run from the School Grounds. We have access to Pokeno School, where we can use the large school field for outside games & activities & the school playgrounds for free time fun.
โโ
We will not be running a Holiday Programme at Pokeno during January of 2026, however we will be running one again from April 2026 School Holidays.

PROGRAMME ASSISTANT
I used to work as a teacher in India, and I’ve always had a deep love for working with children. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Science, but my true passion has always been in education—especially when it comes to helping kids grow, learn, and express themselves. One of my favourite things to do is arts and crafts with children. I find it’s a great way to connect with them and encourage creativity.
