The Brookfield School Council is an active forum in which the school administration and representatives of parents of the students participate on a voluntary basis to collaboratively work towards enhancement of the learning experiences and social life of the school community. The Brookfield School Council has been successful in receiving the Public Reach Out Grant sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Ontario for "Networking with Parents through Highlight of Pathway to Higher Education and Global Outlook" for the year 2008-09. The Education Seminar event being organised under this grant, titled "Pathways to Higher Education: From High School to College and University" involves the general public including all the current and future parents of the Ottawa-Carleton district school board and High commissioners and diplomatic staff of countries whose students have largely come to the high schools in Canada in recent years. Subsequently, the event information will be made available on internet for the benefit of the broader community of current and future parents.
