From the Brookfield Primary School
Greetings from our school. We are incredibly proud of Brookfield. We consider it to be the hub of the neighbourhood, and we all work hard to meet the needs of the parents and children here. We set high standards for behaviour and performance and have high expectations for everyone. The town of Brookfield is a joy to be in. Children learn best when they are at ease and aware of the expectations placed upon them. When employees feel respected and supported, they perform effectively. When parents are aware and involved, they are supportive. To ensure that the kids have the best possible start to their education, we must all work as a team.
