Army Cadets provides a great introduction to living in the field, navigation, basic first aid, self-discipline, teamwork, and a host of other skills. We also engage in fun activities such as abseiling, rock-climbing and kayaking.
Certainly, one of the greatest strengths of Army Cadets at Sydney Grammar School is the opportunity for the older boys to exercise genuine leadership and command. The older boys design our training programmes and oversee the running of the unit.
Army Cadets is structured into three basic areas. Firstly, all boys in Form II, who are managed by a handful of boys from Forms IV to VI. Secondly, the boys in Form III, with a large number of them having participated in Cadets in Form II, but also boys who did not. They are also managed by a handful of boys in Forms IV–VI. Thirdly, the elite group of boys who are not directly involved with the Form II or III boys. These boys fulfill key roles in specialist areas as well as deliver high-end training.
