The Final Cadets Passing Out Parade was held last Friday 20 August. This Parade is a tradition that dates back to the late 1800s where we recognise the contribution of our Cadet Leaders in particular, the current Unit Leaders in Year 12 who have served in Cadets over the past four years. At the conclusion of the parade, the retiring Unit Leaders return their sword or stick and are congratulated on their efforts.

The Australian Army Cadets Corps is dedicated to the development of student leadership and it is our aim to further this commitment by offering cadets the opportunity to use their skills, both at school during Home Training and at Camps.

I look forward to the opportunity of working with all cadets during camp in a little over two weeks time, and wish the retiring cadets all the best on their exams and future endeavours.

Head of Newington College Cadets Unit
