Brooklyn School Culture 

We are proud to be a part of Brooklyn School.
​We care for ourselves, one another, our whanau and our community.
Our School Song 
Turanga rere taku Kainga
Brooklyn, My home


Turanga rere taku kainga
Matakitakitia o Poneke (a hi aue aue)
Tautiakitia Whanganui a Tara
kia kaha ki nga hau e wha
Turanga rere taku kainga
He turangawaewae o matou

Brooklyn My Home

Standing guard over Tara's great Harbour
Standing strong against the four winds
Brooklyn my home
The place where we belong

Each term we hold a school powhiri to welcome new students and their families to Brooklyn School. 
​Due to Covid-19  restrictions, we have been unable to hold this event.

Matua Breach leads the group with his wealth of knowledge and skills. 

The Kapa Haka group participate in the Annual Wellington Kapa Haka Festival.

A highlight of the school year is our chance to celebrate Matariki with a fantastic evening of events!  We are grateful for the many parents and staff who make this event possible. 
We like to integrate this celebration into our learning in the classroom.

Artsplash & Dancesplash
Every year Brooklyn School participates in the Artsplash and Dancesplash events held at the Michael Fowler Events Centre in Term Three.  The students share their singing and dancing, working with a number of other schools and performing during the evening to their parents and friends. 
If you would like your child to 'take up the challenge' watch out for information on signing up.
​Due to Covid-19 restrictions this event has been cancelled for the last 2 years. Fingers crossed that it will go ahead this year!


End of Year Carols 
Another highlight to finish off the school year is the carols evening.
​Families from our school community gather together for this social event. Bring a picnic blanket, some dinner and have a sing along!
