Brentwood is a vibrant learning community where all students are encouraged to achieve success and to pursue excellence. Students are supported in their intellectual, emotional, social and physical development by a highly professional group of 134 staff including 4 principal class, 101 teachers and 29 education support staff. The belief that happy, healthy, resilient students learn best and are therefore able to achieve their best is a guiding philosophy. A Brentwood education will provide every student with the opportunity to develop their talents, to nurture a passion and to grow in confidence about their future. An innovative junior school curriculum includes the year 7 Thinking, Learning and Creativity (TLC) program which integrates English, Humanities and ICT. A broad range of electives at year 8 and 9 promote individualised learning pathways with opportunities for support and acceleration. The senior school curriculum, years 10, 11 and 12, provides opportunities for advanced placement and university enhancement studies. An education and/or training pathway beyond Brentwood is a priority for all students. The academic program is supported by a strong commitment to pastoral care and a co-curricular program that promotes high levels of participation. Student leadership opportunities are spread across a broad range of activities and services. High expectations are the norm at Brentwood. However, it is the quality of relationships within the Brentwood community that contribute to the sense of belonging and pride that students take in themselves and their college.
