Emergency Services Cadets is open to all students from Year 7 to 12 and follow the training and service ideal of the Bush Fire Brigade, Fire and Rescue Service, State Emergency Service and Volunteer Marine Rescue Service. We endeavour to provide Cadets the opportunity to learn practical life skills, develop leadership, teamwork and initiative as well as foster community responsibility and service.

We have a great start to the year planned with some water slides and a sausage sizzle on our first Thursday afternoon starting in Week 2. Cadets will need their board shorts and rashies over their bathers.

Our first camp is an introductory night away at Kerem Adventure Camp. Cadets will be erecting their own tents and catering their own meals. We will also have other fun activities for everyone to participate in, with the SES visiting to run an activity in the evening.

Due to its popularity last year, we will once again spend a day on the water visiting the Hillarys Yacht Club and aim to get to Ningaloo for our major camp later in the year.

To join Cadets, students need to return a completed enrolment form and uniform agreement collected from the House Centre.

Please take the opportunity to look at the photos of some of the highlights from last year!
