Brooks High School (Launceston, Tasmania)
- Brooks High School (Launceston, Tasmania)
Brooks High School is a high school located in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. The school is coeducational with 690 students drawn from the suburbs of Ravenswood, Invermay, Mowbray, Newnham, Rocherlea, Mayfield and the East Tamar area.
History
Brooks was first opened in 1948, centred around a large blue gum tree where assemblies were held. After the University of Tasmania incorporated the grounds in 1990, the school moved to a new site at Newnham, based somewhat on the old school with large open spaces and separate buildings.
Current Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting attended Brooks High School.
60th anniversary celebrations
In 2008 the school celebrates its 60th anniversary [1948–2008] , with a wide variety of events, a time capsule and more. This is a major milestone and current as well as past students, staff and friends of the school will all have a chance to be involved.
