From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] History
Brooks was first opened in 1948, centred around a large blue gum tree where assemblies were held. After the University of Tasmania incorporated the grounds in 1990, the school moved to a new site at Newnham, based somewhat on the old school with large open spaces and separate buildings.
Current Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting attended Brooks High School.
