Expectations
This is an optional experience for students and therefore there are high behavioural expectations of those attending. Any misconduct will result in parents immediately collecting their daughter from Drummoyne Sailing Club. As with all Santa Sabina College-sanctioned experiences, the College staff take very seriously the safety and wellbeing of our students and require all those who will be joining this experience to adhere to our student safety protocols. Therefore, it is incumbent upon all students, staff, and parents to avoid any situation that may endanger and/or compromise the students or the College. This includes (but is not limited to) a complete ban on alcohol, smoking/vaping, and other illicit materials whilst on this experience.
Cost
The cost of $500 will include four days of sailing lessons and various related sailing experiences.
