You will find that your child will probably need a backpack for books, assignments and lunch. A washable lunch box is useful as are containers for sandwiches and snacks. We are an Eco-School and encourage the use of a re-useable container for lunches and water bottle. Please make certain that children have “indoor” shoes that they will be able to keep in their classroom – this helps us keep our school clean especially in the winter during boot wearing times.
Brookside Public School is a mandatory uniform school. Please ensure your child is wearing dark blue pants and shirt.
Our school’s Google Calendar is located here: School Year Calendar 2026-2027
Never be left in the dark about your school’s activities again!
Looking forward to seeing you on TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 8TH!
