Under Serco's Fleet Marine Services Contract, its Creswell office instructs the basics of sailing dinghies and yachts to Naval Officers completing the New Entry Officer Course.
“We are proud to gift these two sailing craft to the TS Shoalhaven Navy Cadets," Serco Defence managing director Clint Thomas said.
"We’ve also offered to provide an initial familiarisation session about the dinghies operation and set-up by one of our qualified sail trainers who are familiar with both craft. I hope this gift provides the Shoalhaven Cadets another great opportunity to get out on the water.”
The company officially gifted the craft to the Director of Australian Navy Cadets, Commander Stuart Wheeler, at HMAS Creswell earlier this week.
Sponsored by Navy, the Australian Navy Cadets aim to build leadership skills in young people through adventure and exciting learning activities. Navy Cadets learn how to sail, navigate and gain skills in everything from IT, communications, cooking and first aid to drill and seamanship.
