Excellent Facilities

Nollamara Primary School offers excellent facilities that support students’ educational, social and physical needs. The school features spacious, well-planned classrooms, all of which are air-conditioned and equipped with interactive whiteboards to support engaging, modern teaching and learning.

The school features a full-sized oval for general play and sporting activities, a modern library, and a fully enclosed undercover area used for assemblies and whole-school events. At the centre of the school is a quad, which provides a welcoming and functional hub for students and staff. Our purpose-built Early Childhood block is designed to support high-quality teaching and learning in the early years.

In addition, our Student Services Hub, located in Room 27, provides office space for our AIEO, Community Support Worker and School Psychologist. This space also hosts a range of community initiatives, including Coffee Connect, visits from the Westminster Child and Parent Centre, Foodbank collections, and other community-focused activities.
