Finding new ways to speed up school construction so more students can learn in positive, engaging and inspiring classrooms was the focus of the most recent Surrey Summit between the Ministry of Education, Surrey School Board and City of Surrey.

Approximately 200 students, teachers and parents from around the world gathered at Government House in Victoria to share their unique perspectives on the role youth can play in protecting and restoring life on land for the benefit of future generations.

Parents and guardians will be expected to provide public health units with immunization records for students enrolled in the provincial school system.

Thirty education professionals from throughout the province have been named as finalists in this year’s Premier’s Awards for Excellence in Education.
