Celebrate with us
We are celebrating the 10th anniversary of our school this year and
to mark this special occasion we are hosting our very own and first
ever interschool cultural fest STARBURST. One whole, grand fun
filled day of festivities.
This is the first affair of this kind and this magnitude in the whole of
Navi Mumbai. Providing a platform for students to compete with
peers, a place where students can showcase their talents and skills
through a wide array of events. A place where students can move
away from monotony! Where they can have fun! A fest of the
students, for the students and by the students! Organised and
presented to you by the North Point School Alumni Association
"Aurora".

The interschool festival calendar has begun. Participating schools will
compete in 7 events to win one glorious trophy. Starburst will host
some of the most prestigious schools from all over Navi Mumbai.
The events include fine arts, literary arts, performing arts, sports and
more.
Set for the 29th of JUNE, STARBURST promises one day of high-energy
events and performances.
All the details with regard to registration and all the queries will be
answered on the registered phone numbers (page 12). Identity cards
