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 w wha
Turanga rere taku kainga
He turangawaewae o matou
Brooklyn My Home
With views over the Wellington
Standing guard over Tara's great Harbour
Standing strong against the four winds
Brooklyn my home
The place where we belong

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 XMAS 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! |
