Activities
Members of SHSCU have unique experiences. Each year they spend up to a week in the bush spread over several camps. They are also offered specialist or leadership courses. All our cadets enjoy the activities listed below:
-
Bivouac
- AFX (Cadet Outdoor Camp)
- Shooting at a rifle range
- Overseas Trips to Bisley
Battalion Bivouac is normally held during Term 1-2 holidays and AFX is usually held in the September holidays. If a cadet has shown potential to assume leadership roles, he can be chosen to attend a leaders promotion course which will teach him the qualities required to move onto the next rank.
