Weekend Leave

Parents can request weekend leave through the Houseparents. The cut off for weekend leave is the Wednesday before the weekend. Weekend leave begins after classes, sports and other school commitments on Saturday and return to campus is by 10:00pm (PST) on Sunday. Weekend leave typically enables boarding students to visit family and friends in the area.

The School will provide transportation for weekend leave to the ferry (alternating between Swartz Bay - Victoria and Departure Bay - Nanaimo). Students will be billed each direction ($40) for transportation from the list created on Thursday morning. Students are responsible for paying for their ferry ticket (additional $18.50).

If a request for weekend leave comes in after Wednesday at midnight, parents/students will be responsible for arranging their own transportation and paying the fees.

It would be very helpful, for the coordination of student pick up/drop off, to know if your child is bringing a bicycle, boxes, skis, or more than 2 bags of large luggage.
