Invitation to join the 206 Army Cadet Unit

(For students in Year 8 and above)

206 ACU (Army Cadet Unit) is currently recruiting. Australian Army Cadets is a leadership program for teenagers in Year 8 and above. It provides young Australians with the opportunity to learn, develop and practice many interesting, fun and valuable skills. It is the only government sponsored youth group in Australia.

206 ACU is the regional unit closest to St Pius X. We parade every Tuesday night of the school term from 5:30-8:40pm and we attend one bivouac (weekend camp) at the end of each term.

As a cadet there are lots of other activities you can participate in such as an annual camp (one week); leadership, abseiling and watercraft courses; military marches (such as on ANZAC Day) and much more. We learn lots of skills such as first aid, navigation and organisational skills as well as obtaining real leadership experience and many new friends outside of school.

You are all welcome to join us on Tuesday 19 February for Unit Sport where any and all of your questions can be answered without making any solid commitment.

If you are interested in finding out more please check out our website 206acu.org.au

If you have any questions you can contact CAPT Tim Wark on 0400 369 312 or myself, William Oner, at oner01@stpiusx.nsw.edu.au

Volunteering with 'At Home with Willoughby'

• Do you have some spare time now the school year has started?
• Is volunteering one of your new year’s resolutions?
• Could you give a couple of hours a month to help support Willoughby City Council’s services for elderly members of our community?

Volunteering is a fantastic way to make new friends, learn new skills, and ‘give back’ to your community. We have volunteer roles Monday – Friday, assisting with services like Meals on Wheels, taking an elderly client out to the shops or for a coffee, helping change bed sheets for someone who is no longer able to, or assisting with social lunches or outings.  Join a great team and make a real difference to others!  

To find out more about our volunteer roles please contact Tara Russell, At Home with Willoughby Coordinator Tara.Russell@willoughby.nsw.gov.au or 02 9777 7831.
