Personal Health & Safety
of Others
If you have concerns or become aware of someone you know who may
have their personal health or safety at risk, please contact
the counsellors or administrators so assistance might be provided.
During the year the pressures of school, home, friends and community
can sometimes generate a great deal of stress on students. Your
awareness and actions might help a friend or fellow student in
the school.
Financial Assistance
Brooks is fortunate to have a grant from the Kiwanis Ian Cowan
Fund which makes money available to any student in financial
need. With the consent of the parent or guardian, assistance
has been given for such things as school supplies and course
materials. Students may make requests for financial help through
a counsellor.
Work Experience Program
The Work Experience Program provides an opportunity for students
to visit an actual work place in order to find out more about
a career choice. Visits can last from a few hours of observation
to five days ofhands-on experience. Examples are a few hours
observation in an accountant's or lawyer's office, three days
with a mechanic or cook or five days with a preschool teacher
or veterinarian. See Mr. Paul or Mr. Smith in the Work Experience
office if you are interested. All students must do 30 hours of
work experience in order to graduate.
Extra-Curricular Activities
Students are encouraged to participate in the extra-curricular
program. Teams, clubs, and groups can be organized to meet the
needs of students who wish to become involved in any activity
suitable for a secondary school. A staff sponsor is required.
We are proud of our extra-curricular program and hope that you
will become involved and help maintain the fine traditions of Brooks
Secondary School. The following is a list of the teams, clubs,
