Cadets competed in a wide range of disciplines, including:

• Shooting
• Space
• Cyber

• First Aid

Their dedication and teamwork were evident across every challenge, and the squadron is immensely proud of their achievements.

Cadet Reflections

Cdt Turtle, who took part in the Shooting section, shared:
“We lay down and shot at targets 2–3 metres away with a rifle. It was an extremely fun section to choose! I’m very happy that I've learnt this new skill.”

Sergeant Corvi, who led the command task, added:
“I really enjoyed leading the command task, and it felt so good to win it with the team! I couldn't have done it without the amazing teaching and every amazing team member. I feel like we all gelled together so well and worked so well together to produce an amazing result!”
