Commanding Officer Parades
The cadets will participate in a Commanding Officer's Parade (CO's Parade) on the first Tuesday of every month. These parades aim to demonstrate the cadets' dedication to learning and practicing drill. CO's Parades will also serve as opportunities for special presentations, awards, and promotions. We strongly encourage parents to attend these parades to show support for the cadets and celebrate their accomplishments. CO's Parades commence at 20:50 hours (8:50pm).

Star Level Training Program
The Army Cadet training program in your community is structured into five different levels. Green Stars being the new recruits and the Master Cadets are the most senior cadets in the corps. If an individual attends the necessary training, and meets the standard to qualify for their star level, they will move on to the next level the following training year.
Please be aware that the Support Committee does not play a direct role in the cadets' training program, including its planning, execution, evaluation, or promotion. If you have any questions or concerns about the training program or a cadet's progress or performance, please direct them to the Training Officer. The best time to discuss these matters is at the end of the training night, once the cadets have been dismissed from the parade square.
