The Canadian Joint Air Training Centre School began as a Special Revenue School of the Manitoba Department of Education to serve the families of military personnel posted to the Canadian Joint Air Training Centre at RCAF Station Rivers in the Rural Municipality of Daly (now Municipality of Riverdale), on the site of the former No. 1 Air Navigation School / No. 1 Central Navigation School from the No. 2 Air Training Command.
First announced by the Department of National Defence in May 1948, the school was constructed over the summer at New Sarum, the name given to the base's residential development, a nod to the Royal Air Force base at Old Sarum in the United Kingdom. In November 1949, it was established formally as the Brooke School District No. 2319. Since 1949, the affairs of the district were managed by an official trustee who was a senior ranking RCAF officer at the airbase. Among them were Flight Lieutenant M. B. C. Anderson (1949-?), Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon Charleson Corbould (1958-1960), and Lieutenant-Colonel David John Hunden (1960-?). The school's catchment area was comprised of Sections 8, 17-18, and 16 W½ [excluding the hamlet of Wheatland] of Township 12 Range 21 West of the Prime Meridian, all previously lands from the Westwood School District No. 1308.
When Westwood School, which served the community of Wheatland, closed in 1957, its students were transferred to Brooke School. RCAF Station Rivers became Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Rivers upon reorganization of the military service, and as a result, bases across the country were consolidated. In September 1971, CFB Rivers closed and the Brooke School District was designated as a Remote School District, thereby exempting it from inclusion in the surrounding Rolling River School Division.
With the departure of the military, the name of New Sarum fell out of use in favour of Wheatland, and a new use for the base and its school was envisioned. In September 1972, the land was given to the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development for use as an Indigenous industrial training centre known as the Oo-Za-We-Kwun Centre. Brooke School continued to operate as an elementary and junior high grade facility for the families of those attending the Centre and residing locally within the over-400 dwellings [as of 1967] in the former New Sarum residential quarters.
The Centre closed in 1980. School enrolment numbers plummeted so, in October 1981, the provincial government revoked the school district's remote status and, in January 1982, transferred it into the Rolling River School Division. The school closed in the summer of 1981 and the building was later demolished.
