School Groups and watersports on Sydney harbour

            

    Brochure for your interest  

 

 

 

 Generally schools participate in one session per week with us. Some schools like to focus purely on sailing so that the students can progress in their skills over the term. Other schools prefer more of a ‘taster’ programme where the students swap activities each week, alternating between catamaran sailing, dinghy sailing, kayaking, windsurfing and paddle boarding.

Our school watersports programme is an excellent opportunity for kids to learn new skills, increase their knowledge of the weather and the ocean, work as a team and it’s an exciting change from the usual school sports!

We take children of all ages and have specific equipment for kids. The programmes include all equipment, buoyancy aids, wetsuits, and tuition by our experienced Yachting Australia and Royal Yachting Association instructors. There are also hot showers and changing rooms available.

OUR MISSION – At Balmoral Sailing School we want the kids to come down and enjoy themselves, not be bored and most importantly finish a session with a sense of achievement.

 

SAFETY – We are a Yachting Australia registered sailing school and as such we adhere to strict safety guidelines and ratios.  Safety comes first with us in all our procedures. We consider radio communication to be essential for safety, and all our staff & safety boats are linked together to our office by radio. We are proud of the level of safety within the organization, but never complacent. We are inspected from external authorities regularly.  This includes NSW Maritime (HD0403) and Yachting Australia.

 

QUALITY OF STAFF - The school biggest asset is its staff.  As well as a high level of qualifications across multiple disciplines, you will find polite, efficient professional and enthusiastic staff at all times.

SESSIONS - We can organize a session that suits you, group sessions can run from 2 hours to an all day event depending on what you want.  This might be a one off, every week during term time, or for a few days during a camp away from school.

 

Single Taster sessions - 2 hours of sailing, windsurfing, kayaking or paddling - ideal for a quick try - we will get the kids up and going in this time.  It’s best to choose just one sport for this session, although we can offer all 4 options at the same time and the kids will have to choose which one they want to try.  This option can be run as a one off or offered as part of term time activities with the sessions running in a round robin style to make sure everyone has a go at everything!

 

Yachting Australia Course - This is the best way to learn to windsurf or sail. This course can be run over a day, a week or broken down into a number of 1 or 2 hour sessions - leading to internationally recognized certificate.  This option can be offered as part of term time sailing but the kids will have to sign up for their chosen option for the whole term.

 

Multi Activity Sessions - Combine a number of activities (sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, stand up paddling and team building) into a half day, full day or week long event.  Half day and 2 hour sessions can be run over various time frames including term time.  This popular option can be offered as part of term time activities with the sessions running in a round robin style to make sure everyone has a go at everything!
