National Cadet Week gives us the opportunity to reflect on the amazing organisation we represent. From the volunteers running parade nights to the cadets showing up come rain or shine, we truly are a community. Many of our ex-cadets are now thriving in civilian and military careers thanks to the skills and experiences they gained through the cadets.

Last week we opened our doors to 14 potential new 361 cadets. We showed off our facilities, the activities we've been up...

361 has made it to the VEX national finals for the 2nd year in a row!

We competed in qualifiers and despite many mechanical challenges finished our final game of the pushback season

We got to meet Al Lewis and celebrate the joining 361 and 1313 for season 3

As the VEX National Finals were held at National Air and Space Camp, we had to take the opportunity to show our robot some aircraft

They're a little late, but we wanted to share the pictures taken at our most recent Passing Out Parade for Intake 19.

Congratulations to the 6 cadets who completed their first class training and are now officially a part of 361 Sqn! 🎉

We'll be having our next intake in September, so if your child is aged 12+ or in year 8, and wants to try something a little bit different, please reach out!

Massive props to Cadet W for achieving his Leading classification! Our classification syllabus is no mean feat, and cadets must study for and pass several exams before achieving this. Great work! ✍🏻💡

Cadet P, Cadet D and Cadet A managed to snag their blue radio badges this week - well done to them for the achievement. 🎉

Blue Radio gives you an introduction to using a radio, including callsigns, the phonetic alphabet, and how to safely and securely transmit information. A valuable skill!
