History

Brooks High School opened in 1948. The school originally centred on a large blue gum tree, where it held assemblies. In 1990, the University of Tasmania incorporated these grounds and the school moved to its present site in Rocherlea. The present site resembles the original grounds; both feature large open spaces and separate buildings.

In 1995, the school established the No Dole Program. The program's success led other Australian high schools to found similar programs. Speakers at the Program have included former prime minister John Howard, former education minister Brendan Nelson, former Labor Party Leader Kim Beazley, Hawthorn footballer Dermott Brereton, late motor racing driver Peter Brock and former Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting. Ponting also attended the school.
