Please take the time to welcome Patti to her new role at the Cloverdale Campus.
Pamela Zuidhof will be the new vice principal for the Cloverdale Campus. Pam has both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in education from Dordt University.

He is married to Lauren (a graduate of our Cloverdale Campus!) and they have a 2 ½ year old and a baby due at any moment! Tom has a strong leadership background that includes serving in schools, a variety of athletic areas, and Christian summer camps. Tom has a reputation as an effective administrator with strong interpersonal skills. He and Lauren currently live in the UK and will be arriving in the lower mainland mid-summer.

Danny began his education career as an education assistant at Fraser Valley Christian School before he joined SCS. Danny is a graduate of Trinity Western University and holds a Master of Arts Degree from TWU as well. He is married to Heather and they have 5 children. Danny has earned deep respect in the SCS community from staff, students and parents for his personable approach to leadership and for effectively managing much of the change at the Fleetwood Campus over the past 4 years. It is my hope that the Fleetwood community will send Danny on his way well, and that the Secondary community will welcome him into his new role!
