Grandview Heights Secondary Information Package

School design and renderings by CHP Architects

Grandview Heights Secondary is under construction in the Grandview Heights area of Surrey (16988 25th Ave.). This is

an exciting time for students, staff, parents, and the Surrey Board of Education as new secondary schools do not come

about often. Currently, all students in South Surrey/White Rock are served by three secondary schools. Joining Elgin

Park, Semiahmoo and Earl Marriott, the newly constructed Grandview Heights Secondary will serve 1,500 students.

This is a rare opportunity to define the culture and character of a new school community. Grandview Heights Secondary

will address the overcrowding at Earl Marriott and Semiahmoo, with these two schools currently a combined 700

students over capacity in a rapidly growing area.

To prepare for the opening of the new school, new catchment boundaries need to be established to balance student

capacity at the four secondary schools. This review will include an analysis of Choice Program locations as well as the

natural feeder elementary schools for secondary schools. Every “family of schools” will be impacted by this consultation.

How can you be involved?

Surrey Schools believes parent and student input and priorities for transitioning to the new school are an important part

of this process. Please review the information regarding the catchment boundary options in this package. Further

information can be found on the consultation website: www.placespeak.com/sd36capitalplan

We encourage parents and students to provide feedback by completing the survey on the consultation website. This

survey is also printed on the last page of this information package if you prefer to fill it out and return it to your school.

The consultation period runs until June 15, 2018.

In addition, a series of evening forums will be held for the district to share information about the potential boundary

changes. Each forum runs from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.:

April 30 at Earl Marriott (East Kensington, Hall’s Prairie, Jessie Lee, Laronde, Morgan, Pacific Heights, Peace

Arch, Rosemary Heights and South Meridian)

May 14 at Earl Marriott (Earl Marriott)

May 15 at Elgin Park (Chantrell Creek, Crescent Park, Elgin Park, Ocean Cliff and Ray Shepherd)

May 16 at Semiahmoo (Bayridge, H.T. Thrift, Semiahmoo, Semiahmoo Trail, Sunnyside and White Rock)

Families are encouraged to attend the specific evening for their own school in order to balance forum attendance

numbers for each meeting. However, as the information presented at each forum will be the same, if you cannot attend

on your evening, you are welcome to attend any one of the meetings if the times suit you better.

Introducing the options

All four options presented in this package aim to balance enrolment now and in the future, and reduce the need for

temporary space. These options leave some space in the South Surrey-White Rock secondary schools to

accommodate students from future residential development.

In preparing these options, the school district was guided by Surrey Board of Education policy, specifically, Policy 9200:

School Catchment Areas, and Policy 9320: Registration and Placement of Students.

In all four options, the following elementary schools would transition their students into the following secondary schools:

Grandview Heights Secondary: East Kensington, Morgan, Pacific Heights (¾), Rosemary Heights, Sunnyside

Earl Marriott Secondary: Hall’s Prairie, Pacific Heights (¼), Peace Arch, South Meridian

Elgin Park Secondary: Chantrell Creek, Crescent Park, Ocean Cliff, Ray Shepherd

Semiahmoo Secondary: H.T. Thrift

The options vary in which secondary school they propose students from Bayridge, Jessie Lee, Semiahmoo Trail and

White Rock elementary schools attend, as well as placement of the secondary French Immersion program, which would

impact Laronde.

No matter what option is selected, students in their Grade 12 year will not be required to change schools. Furthermore,

a transition committee with parents and student representation from the affected schools will be established once new

catchment boundaries have been approved to identify issues and opportunities and help facilitate the transition.

There are minor administrative elementary school catchment boundary changes indicated in the options but these

would not affect students as they do not include residential areas.

While Surrey Schools has presented four options that have been explored and it has preferred one, the district is open

to hearing other suggestions. Please use the final question in the feedback form or the online survey to share your

suggestions.
