Student Events
WHAT’S COMING UP!
Surrey Schools is excited to announce its upcoming Arts Education Festivals and Events, spanning from November to June. These events are a great way for students from kindergarten to grade 12 to showcase their talents and skills in various art forms. With a variety of schools and community venues hosting, the festivals offer an inclusive and diverse platform for students to perform in different disciplines of the arts.
The festivals provide an excellent opportunity for students to build their confidence, develop their creativity, and hone their artistic abilities. They can participate in a range of disciplines such as music, dance, drama, and visual arts. These events offer a chance for students to engage with other young artists, share their passion for the arts, and gain inspiration from their peers.
Surrey Schools is committed to promoting arts education and nurturing creativity in its students. The Arts Education Festivals and Events are just one of the many ways in which the school district encourages students to pursue their passion for the arts. We look forward to seeing the amazing talent that our students will bring to the stage!
