During the pandemic, the hallmarks of a memorable open house \u2014 loud music, enthusiastic students and crowds of curious parents and teenagers \u2014 gave way to a more subdued occasion. Amid heightened Covid-19 restrictions, schools relied on hybrid methods to reach out to prospective students in 2021 and 2022. Try as they might, a virtual open house could never beat the lively atmosphere a full out open house provided.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that open houses are back in full swing for the first time in three years, NP is buzzing with activity as it gears up to welcome students and parents from Jan 5 to Jan 7.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[This year\u2019s Open House is] really about bringing the pre-Covid Open House vibes back to campus. The vibes will be different: more people, hopefully more music and most definitely more activities!\u201d says Izlynn Margono, 19. The Year 3 Business Studies student is part of NP Ambassadors, the organisation responsible for NP\u2019s official outreach events. She is also managing the event as the Overall-In-Charge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Andrea Lim, 18, it’s her second rodeo with NP\u2019s Open House as an NP Ambassador. The Year 2 Business Studies student notes that the upcoming Open House will be \u201con a larger scale and more free and easy for visitors\u201d as compared to <\/span>last year\u2019s<\/a> as there will be no Covid restrictions in place this time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over a whopping 15,000 visitors are expected across the first three days, and you can be one of them. Here is what visitors can look forward to at our 2023 Open House!<\/span><\/p>\n

Telegram Chats<\/b><\/p>\n

Undecided on what course suits you, or have questions about school life? There is no one better to answer those questions than students who have experienced it themselves! NP Ambassadors across different courses and schools are prepared to answer your questions and concerns via <\/span>Telegram Chats<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The chats are accessible from the <\/span>Open House page<\/a> on each day of the Open House, from 6pm\u20139pm. Those who are interested can pick the school of their choice from the above mentioned Open House page, and they will be connected to an Ambassador from said school. This means that even after the festivities on campus draw to a close, the Ambassadors are still within your reach to answer your questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

School Tours<\/b><\/p>\n

Want to discover our campus but not sure how? Hop on the <\/span>Explore XTRA Tour<\/b>, where you\u2019ll get a look at facilities such as classrooms and hangout spots on<\/span> campus. The tour requires no pre-registration and is only available on Saturday, Jan 7, from 10am\u20134pm. Visitors can approach the booth and pick three out of the six tour spots available, and an Ambassador will bring them there. The booth is located at the Student Plaza, behind the NP bus stop.<\/span><\/p>\n
