We are very proud of our Senior Cadets for the leadership and roles they have taken on since the beginning of the year. There is never a shortage of Cadets putting their hands up to help out, which is a credit to the group.

Sessions that have been run include knots, phonetic alphabet, radios, compasses and search techniques. The visit to the Quinns Rocks Bushfire Brigade was a huge success, with Cadets getting an insight into the operations, especially since some fires have been very close to homes this season.

The Senior Sailing Camp thus far has been a real highlight. Observing the growth in confidence and skills of the Cadets from Friday afternoon practicing the capsize drill to Sunday morning being able to ‘sail into the wind’ via tacking. Having the opportunity to put some of their knot-tying skills into practice, as well as learning a few new ones and working on their problem-solving skills, showed the character of the group. A major ‘thank you’ goes to Laurance Adams and Dave who were happy to take us on as a group.

Please note that we will not be running a training session on Thursday 13 June as we have our Term 3 Planning Meeting. Our calendar will be updated on SEQTA soon after.

If you have any queries relating to the Cadet program, please contact Mrs Jenny Pontarelli on 9300 744 or via email Jenny.Pontarelli@ljbc.wa.edu.au.
