It is home to two playgrounds, including one that is geared specifically towards primary students, and sits on a large piece of property that comprises of a full-sized soccer field, gaga ball pit, and forested area for students to play in and enjoy. We have an Outdoor Kindergarten and an Outdoor Grade 1 program, a large gymnasium, and a variety of extracurricular activities available in athletics, music, reading, writing, and leadership development. Grade 5-7 students meet two mornings a week in their cross-grade CREW groups where we build community and provide students with leadership development opportunities

“My deep hope is that the Fleetwood Campus is a calm and tranquil space that contrasts with an increasingly chaotic world – and that students have a sense of peace about their learning”

Tom Williams, Principal

Music

Fleetwood Campus Music
Our deep hope is that Surrey Christian School musicians embody wonder, creativity, craftsmanship and humility; sharing beauty through music for restoring God’s world.

Kindergarten – Grade 3 Music

SCS Fleetwood Campus Kindergarten through Grade 3 students become fully alive in God’s story as they engage in Orff-inspired musical learning, rooting their practice in collaborative play and joy-filled discovery. Primary musicians sing, move, and explore instrumentation that includes xylophones, Boomwhackers, and non- pitched percussion as we celebrate and share our deep hope of making a “joyful noise unto the Lord”.

Grades 4 – 7 Music

SCS Fleetwood campus grades 4-7 musicians become fully alive in God’s story as they engage in Modern Band to “Address the Mess” in their lives and in the world by creating beauty through music. Our musicians are empowered to share their music in the school community and beyond, doing real work that meets a real need for real people.

Through Modern Band, students learn to perform, improvise, and compose using the popular styles that they know and love including rock, pop, reggae, hip hop, R&B, other modern styles and worship music. Modern Band classes feature guitar, ukulele, bass, keyboard, drums, vocals, technology, and computers.

The Fleetwood Campus intermediate musicians have eight beautifully hand-crafted, locally made marimbas, one of which we made together with local marimba maker Barbara Durno. The marimba is an important part of the Shona people of Zimbabwe and is one of the best types of music in the world for developing musical ability in children.

Our grades 4-7 music classes feature a fusion of Modern Band and marimba: a sound that is unique to SCS Fleetwood Campus and inclusive of all learners.

Outdoor Learning

From an early age, children are curious about nature. Being outside in nature can stimulate a child’s sense of wonder and discovery. Our outdoor education supports inquiry and play based learning. Our kindergarten and grade 1 students go outside 1 morning per week to local parks like: Godwin Park, Derby Reach, Tynehead Regional and Green Timbers. Our deep hope is to invite students to ignite their excitement and curiosity for the natural world. We have a great opportunity to immerse our children in the awesome creation that God has given us to take care of.
