Are you being helpful or are you being hurtful? That is the code that guides students at Brookwood School. It’s a shared language that everyone can understand, and as a result, students learn to think about other people and the impact their actions can have. As they use their new skills in the classroom and on the playground, students are learning about their responsibilities as good citizens.
Unique Features of Our School
- Staff and parents of Brookwood are committed to working together as a Professional Learning Community, implementing a culture of “sustained school improvement efforts”. The collaborative team embraces the fundamental purpose of school, which is, “learning for all students”.
- Our school-based Professional Learning Community is working in partnership with other Spruce Grove “Early Years” schools (Millgrove School and Parkland Village) in collaborative Grade Level Professional Learning Communities, called Tri-School PLC’s.
- Brookwood is designed as an open concept facility. The result is an inviting culture which promotes teamwork by students, staff and parent volunteers.
- Brookwood staff works hard to offer many program opportunities for our children. These include curricular, extracurricular and citizenship development programs.
- Brookwood has an active group of parent volunteers averaging about 5000 hours per year in volunteer time to the school. Our School Council actively promotes a number of programs to support the students of Brookwood and their learning, including Tel-a-pal, Hot Lunch, cultural events and so on.
- We are a leader in the area of technology. Teachers actively engage students in technology projects, which offer many opportunities for students to engage in a variety of technology projects using computers, SMART Boards and other technologies.
How We Define Student Success
At Brookwood, our primary purpose is to provide quality-learning opportunities to enhance the growth and potential of each child. When we see students developing competence and confidence, we are proud of their successes. In general, we define student success as growth and learning. More specifically we look to see if students are meeting grade level curriculum expectations, as well as displaying qualities of good citizenship.
