for our students both in the school and
with the community.
A strong Student Success Team heads up our
literacy and numeracy initiatives, including the
promotion of the Brookfield Reads Program,
the Boys Reading Club, and improved Literacy
Test scores.
Our Arts Program continues to grow as we
promote the integration of Music, Drama, and
Arts across the curriculum. Our World Voices
Choir is a highly sought-after group performing
for national organizations and international
dignitaries.

9 per cent of our 2011 graduating students.

of thousands of dollars in scholarships
