    In-Catchment Waitlists:

    Notwithstanding the above, the District may make individual student placements in consultation with schools on an as needed basis.

  • If your child is currently in grade 7 in an elementary school in our school district, they will be registered into their catchment secondary school automatically. You would only need to register your child if they currently attend an elementary school in another district and wish to attend a secondary school in the Surrey School District.

    If you would like to enquire about registering for a school that is not in your catchment, please contact the school directly to ensure the school can accommodate your request.
