Camps, Excursion & Incursion Payments
We are continually trying to improve the way we organise and communicate events to the Brookside community. Part of this process is to ensure that Parents/Carers are given sufficient time to provide payment and consent for upcoming excursions and incursions.
The safety of our students is paramount and having these processes in place helps ensure that we have all of our bases covered when students leave the College under our care.
Visitors to the College
A reminder that all visitors to the College (including Parent Helpers) must report to Reception prior to signing in to the visitor register. In 2018, all Parent Helpers must compete a volunteer induction program and have a valid Working with Children card prior to being allowed to assist in the classroom. For further information on what this involves, please contact the General office or Mrs Seral Fehmi.
Updating contact details
Have you or your family circumstances changed? Mobile phone and email addresses can be updated on Compass. For all other changes, please notify the General Office either in person or via email at

Little Monsters Dance Club @ Brookside
LMDC has landed at Brookside College with their afterschool program, The Travelling Monster Drama and Dance Program.
The program was designed to give all children the chance to use performing arts as a platform for building confidence, creativity and community.
So far the classes have started in Term 4 with a bang! Children involved will have opportunities to perform and share their talent with the community.
They will be performing for the Morton Homestead Planned Activity Group (elderly), the kids will also be performing at the Frank Fitzpatrick Auditorium in Essendon for the Little Monsters Dance Club Recital “It’s Stage Time!”. They will also make a guest appearance at the BEST FEST FESTIVAL!
So many wonderful opportunities
If you would like to support Little Monsters Dance Club live onstage in their end of year recital on Friday December 7th at 6pm, tickets can be purchased via Try Booking at: www.trybooking.com/YTEP,
Keep an eye out on compass for 2019 classes, as places are limited and fill up very fast!
We also have a little something for the mum’s, our Dance Date Series is a Tuesday Session run at the Brookside Community Centre 10:15-11:00am, $10 a session. This is a great way to keep fit, have a dance, laugh and make a friend or two!
