Advice from Brooks Students
“I wish I would have asked my teachers for more help in Grade 9 and 10.” “If you do your work in class and hand in your homework, you’ll be fine.” “Join a team or a club. It’s so worth it!” “Try and keep your binders organized from the start, and then keep them organized.” “Ask for help. There’s lots of people at Brooks who can help you like a teacher or a counsellor.”
