Phil & Jennie Gaglardi Academy
Rationale
- Student care and safety at Gaglardi Academy is a priority.
- School liability insurance does not cover student drivers while off-campus.
- School liability insurance does not cover students riding in other student vehicles (regardless of parental permission).

- Sports B.C. covers student liability during sport extra-curricular activities both on and off-campus provided the event is sanctioned by Sports BC.
- The school liability policy does not extend to students driving their vehicles during school hours or for extra-curricular activities.
- ICBC liability coverage is limited to whatever the insurance amount purchased by the vehicle owner at the time of policy renewal.
Scope
- This policy extends to:
