NPPS Prep Enrolment
Every parent wants to leave a school tour feeling like "you have found the right one".
Thank you for considering Nichols Point Primary for your child and family as you begin the wonderful journey of primary education.
Here at The Point, we understand that starting school is an exciting and important time for families. Understandably, there are many questions and often unknown aspects to consider when choosing a school. To help you in this process, NPPS offers guided Principal tours where our Principal or Leadership Team will escort you on a private tour of our school. Tours take approximately 30 minutes and we encourage children to come along to meet our staff and explore our vibrant school.
Please phone 03 5023 1633 to book your Principal tour.
