Vision

Every Brooksian a Champion, Impacting the Community

Mission

To empower Brooksians to develop a passion for learning, strong moral values and a keen sense of duty and community.

Philosophy

Our school motto, Soaring Yet Rooted, challenges our students to SOAR to greater heights whilst staying ROOTED in strong values and to be motivated to excel, lead and serve. We aim for all students to strive for their very best in whatever they do and always be grateful to the people who have helped them in their journey. The school aims to imbue in every Brooksian our core values of Graciousness, Integrity, Fortitude, Teamwork, Empathy and Discipline (GIFTED) in their Brooksian education experience. Guided by this core mission, our purpose is to make a conscious effort to design a plethora of deep learning experiences and quality interactions within the school and beyond for our students to explore, and thereby discover and ultimately maximise their potential.

The school's distinctive Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in Aerospace provides our students an edge when applying for aerospace-related courses in ITE and the Polytechnics, which in turn opens a career pathway for them in the rapidly growing aerospace industry. All Lower Secondary students are equipped with basic knowledge in general aerospace topics and essential ICT skills. Students who demonstrate passion in this field of study would be further engaged/stretched in related external competitions and programmes. Through a three-tiered programme that is based on nature and the outdoor, our Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in Outdoor Education (Adventure, Character, Environment - A.C.E) aims to inculcate values, develop character and build leadership skills of all our students. Through programmes such as orienteering, rock wall climbing and Values-In-Action (VIA) activities, we hope to cultivate students' love for the outdoors and a heart for the environment. Annual camps that emphasise experiential learning, values education and self-leadership are held for every level concurrently. The school offers a variety of enrichment programmes to widen the students' learning experiences for greater development in cognitive, physical and aesthetics domains. For example, the Stained Glass Art Programme empowers the students to express their creativity and to develop their spirit of innovation and enterprise. As the making of stained glass artwork is rather intricate and requires skill and patience, students working in teams will develop fortitude and resilience while learning to value each other's strengths. The Whole-School Approach to Effective Communication (WSA-EC) aims to build students' competencies in communicating in English by raising students' interest and motivation in reading and speaking good English through specific learning activities in their various subjects.
