Bramalea staff cultivate confidence and respect for others, and provide the knowledge, skills and values needed for success in future studies and/or the world of work.
The Avondale neighbourhood is in south central Brampton, and the southern part was the first residential development phase for then-Bramalea, in the 1970s. The "A" section featured street names beginning with A, and subsequent sections followed alphabetically, so other areas in the northwest, north, and northeast parts of this neighbourhood have street names beginning with B and C. Avondale features park lands and trails, schools, and a commercial plaza, as well as an industrial and business area in the south. Housing is a mix of single-detached homes in various styles, semi-detached homes, 2 high-rise buildings, and townhome complexes.
