Brooklyn Primary School has 13 teaching staff and caters for 188 students from Kindergarten to Year 6. The school's address is Latrobe Street BURNIE 7320. Phone (03) 6431 3975.

Schools receive an annual resource package for the purpose of providing educational programs for students throughout that year. Schools may also receive other funding from the Department as well as receiving income from other sources. Generally, like the resource package, these funds should be used in the year that they are received. However, in some circumstances, schools may need to carry funds over from one year to the next. A reasonable carry over is 25% of a school's annual resourcing package. As at January 31 2009, Brooklyn Primary School has carried over the equivalent of 59% of its annual resourcing package. Schools also receive additional funding to help reduce early years class sizes. The average class size at Brooklyn Primary School for groups containing Prep and Year 1 students is 19.

Information about Brooklyn Primary School (provided by the school)
Brooklyn Primary School is situated in a quiet cul de sac in Burnie. We currently have 198 students in seven classes from Prep to grade 6 and a Kindergarten which operates two full days a week. A varied curriculum is offered with specialist art, drama, choir and stringed instrument tuition. Music and movement sessions are also provided for junior classes. Physical education and daily fitness activities operate throughout the school. Brooklyn Primary School has always been strongly supported by our parent community and many parents volunteer and support the school in many ways. We seek to involve and support families with children from birth with specific programs and to create a culture of pride in the school within the community.
