A four-storey addition to a Surrey high school will create hundreds of new seats because of new funding from the Province.
“We continue to make record investments to ensure families and students in Surrey have access to the services and classroom spaces they need to thrive,” said Rachna Singh, Minister of Education and Child Care. “We are responding to the growing demand for student seats in Surrey and we’re building this school addition with the learning and child care spaces that people in this community need.”
A new expansion at Fleetwood Park Secondary will add 800 new student seats to the school. The addition is expected to be ready for students in 2029. It will include a neighbourhood learning centre with an Indigenous learning and meeting space, as well as a separate space for child care for families in the community. With sustainable and energy-efficient designs, the addition also aligns with the Province’s CleanBC targets and meets B.C.’s enhanced energy requirements.
“As one of B.C.’s fastest-growing communities, it’s more important than ever that we invest to bring the much-needed classrooms students need to Surrey schools,” said Jagrup Brar, MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood. “This new addition will benefit families in our community for decades to come.”
