Our History
Brentwood School opened in September, 1965. At that time, the metal sculpture, called The Scholar was placed in front of the school. Forty-five years later The Scholar continues to greet our staff, students and parents.
The 40th anniversary was celebrated in October 2006, to mark the 2005-2006 school term. As part of this event a time capsule was buried in the courtyard by the large evergreen tree. This capsule is to be opened in 2015 to mark 50 years of schooling at Brentwood.
Nut-Free
Our staff and students need to work together to make our school a safe place for everyone. Like a family, we need to help, support and be kind to each other. In our school, we have children who have life-threatening allergies to peanuts, nuts and nut products. Consequently, we would like Brentwood to be a "no nuts, please" school to ensure the safety of these children. Parents are asked not to send any nuts or nut products for snacks or lunches.
We cannot guarantee an environment which is 100% safe for children with allergies, however, we do want to ensure our school is as safe as possible.
