Cadets

CAPT Sarah Byron 

Cadets has officially finished for the School year, however not for 16 lucky cadets heading to Puckapunyal to attend Leadership Courses. We wish them all the best and look forward to hearing about their adventures next year. In 2023 we have a large number of senior cadets and we look forward to working with them. They will have the opportunity to extend their Cadet knowledge as well as them being supported to become better leaders.

 

Current year 7 students have started their Cadet experiences by completing the Defence Youth Safety Level 6 as a Cohort. They have also been very busy completing their enrolment forms and uniform sizing charts to ensure that the start of next year is smooth and with little interruption.
