A warm welcome back to Term 3 to our Brookside community. It has been wonderful to have all of our students return after the holidays and settle so well back into their routines and learning. We hope that everyone enjoyed the break.

2026 Annual Book Week Parade

This year, our annual Book Week Parade will take place on Tuesday 25 August. Students in all year levels are encouraged to dress up as their favourite book character and participate in our parade. Parents, younger siblings and staff are also encouraged to dress up to participate. This event will be held under the Hayshed from 9:00am.

There will be prizes for the best dressed students across the college. We can’t wait to bring our school community together for this event and see the creativity you all bring.

Prep 100 Days of School

Wednesday 28 July marked a very special milestone for our Prep students. This special day officially marked 100 days that our Prep students have been at school so far this year. Our wonderful Prep teachers planned a fun filled day of activities, beginning with an assembly during which we had many parents/guardians attend. Congratulations and well done to our incredible Prep students for this special achievement.

2026 Colour Run

On Friday 11th of September, we will be hosting our whole school colour run. This year we are raising money for our Health and Physical education department. This year, we are running the event through a new company, Australian Fundraising. This means new prizes are up for grabs.

We are launching our event on Friday the 7th of August, homegroup teachers will be handing out booklets with all the information you will need to get started. 

Our first competition starts from Monday 10th- Friday 14th, during which time the classes with the most profiles created will win a special prize. Good luck and happy fundraising.

Year 8 and 9 Exams

Semester One exam results are now available for you to view. Exam results can be accessed the same way you would access semester reports in Compass - in the "Academic Results" section, look for “Exam Results – Semester One” to download the pdf document with the results inside.

If you have any questions about the results, or would like further details about the exam process, please reach out to your child’s English or Math teacher. The name of this teacher is included in the exam results.

We would like to take this chance to congratulate all the students on the effort that they put into this exam experience.
