Australian Air Force Cadets 306SQN

Our girls continued their strong involvement with the Australian Air Force Cadets 306 Squadron this year and have undertaken a wide variety of activities alongside their weekly Friday afternoon parades. This Friday afternoon (24 November) at 4pm 306SQN have their annual Ceremonial Parade at Wiegall Playing Fields if any of the SCEGGS community would like to come and watch.

The cadets have had the opportunity to participate in overnight experiences at Richmond air base, firearms courses (where four SCEGGS cadets qualified on the .22 rifle) as well as promotions courses that have seen promotions to Sargent and Corporal as well as other Bivouacs.

In August this year 306SQN had teams compete in the metropolitan 3 Wings Competition against 14 other squadrons. The teams performed strongly across various subjects (individual drill, flight drill, aircraft recognition, fieldcraft and service knowledge). With some outstanding results achieved in:

Service Knowledge: 306SQN placed 2nd with a team including:

• Simone Turner (Year 11)
• Florence Furness (Year 9)
• Juliette Clark (Year 9)

Aircraft Recognition: 306SQN placed 3rd with a team including:

• Florence Furness (Year 9)
• Juliette Clark (Year 9)
• Madelyn Hung (Year 8)

The Squadron is looking forward to another successful year in 2024 and is always keen for new recruits.
