Dear Parents/Guardians,

As you are aware, Surrey Schools continues to face mounting enrolment pressures throughout the district as rapid development and accelerated growth brings thousands of students to Surrey and White Rock every year.

The City Centre community is one area that is feeling the effects of these pressures, and as a result, the district is faced with tough decisions to manage enrolment in neighbourhood schools.

The district is proposing amalgamating the cohort of students from the City Central Learning Centre with the North Surrey Learning Centre, to make better use of the available capacity at NSLC and use the existing space at the CCLC to re-establish an elementary school with its own neighbourhood catchment area. This proposal would take effect at the start of the 2025-26 school year and would help to reduce overcrowding issues at nearby École K.B. Woodward, Forsyth Road and Old Yale Road elementary schools.

As parents and guardians of the City Centre Learning Centre community, the district is inviting your input and feedback on the amalgamation of the CCLC and NSLC student cohorts. The district is coordinating a consultation process in April and May so you can easily contribute your views and suggestions.

In addition, an evening forum will be held Wednesday, April 24 from 5 to 7 p.m. at City Centre Learning Centre for the school community to share their feedback and ideas about the potential cohort amalgamation.

The consultation period begins today and concludes May 15. Community contributions and comments will be summarized by staff in a report to the superintendent, which will be presented to the Surrey Board of Education on June 12, 2024. Please feel free to share your input and suggestions during the consultation process.
