School District #36 (Surrey)
To provide safe and caring environments in which all learners can achieve academic excellence, personal growth and responsible citizenship.
Surrey Board of Education assumes its responsibility to provide leadership and direction to School District No. 36 (Surrey). In so doing, the Board subscribes to the following statements of beliefs and guiding principles.
Beliefs & Values
We believe that schools exist for learners and that education is a shared responsibility among home, school and community. We value the pursuit of excellence in teaching and learning, the accomplishments of our learners, the role of parents in the education of their children, collaboration and cooperation in setting, achieving and evaluating the goals of education, the contributions made by all employees, parents and community, and the involvement and support of our diverse communities.
Responsibilities & Commitments
We seek to instil in learners a respect for knowledge and an appreciation that learning is a lifelong process, and to prepare all learners to assume responsible citizenship and career roles as adults in society. We commit to making decisions in the best interest of all learners, to providing safe and healthy learning environments, to demonstrating accountability (both educational and financial), to listening and responding to the needs of our community, and to pursuing appropriate and equitable financial resources.
Promotions
We promote tolerance and respect for diversity, and dynamic leadership at all levels of the organization.
