The school will be home to 150 local and 150 international students for Grades 6 to 12.

Students at Brookes Westshore will be involved in a range of physical activities, and gain an appreciation of the positive elements of diversity through the students from 20 other countries that they live and learn with, she added.
Brookes Westshore is hosting two information sessions to enable parents to find out more about the school and its approach to learning. The format will include a presentation on the school, followed by the opportunity for interested parents and teachers to ask questions at a number of stations set up at the event.
