| BROOKS HIGH SCHOOL:'We do anything' |
 |
The belief that 'It's all curriculum' partly explains why Brooks
embraces opportunities as they arise, even if 7-10 high schools would
not normally be involved. Other reasons are that innovation, risk
taking and energy are part of Brooks' way of life.
"One
of our senior staff just attended a JAG North (Job Action Group)
meeting just up the hill at Rocherlea. There’s funding to teach people
to refurbish public housing in the area while learning VET Cert. 2
skills. We’re not a partner and don’t want to be, but we guess there
might be possibilities for the school, our staff, new clients or
funding."

At the time of writing, just 18 days into the new school year, Brooks
has also become involved in the following 'opportunities':
• Youth Commitment meetings
• Meetings about the new Australian Technical Colleges
• Two case studies
• 'Becoming Numerate in the Middle Years', a PL program
• Media Skills training
• Jointly submitted for DEST funds for “Cultivating Futures”
• Jointly hosting a Learning Choices Regional Forum
• Sent 5 students and 5 parents to meet Crown Prince Frederick and Crown Princess Mary.
