Holbrook is a happy, vibrant, aspirational place where each and every person feels valued and inspired to do their very best every day.
Holbrook is a school for everyone – we welcome all children from across the peninsula and beyond and we treat each child as an individual.
We are an ambitious independent academy with a staff team who are determined and passionate about their work. We want to make sure each student achieves their very best from their time with us and grows into an exceptional and confident young adult ready for the next stage of their life.
We are a small school which means we really get to know our students, our staff, our families, friends and our community. Holbrook is a caring and compassionate place, where our students have the space to flourish and feel nurtured.
