The new cadet program has been designed based on feedback from cadets with a more contemporary design that build life skills and positive relationships, combined with a strong sense of belonging and unique identity.
The core subjects such as seamanship and drill have been updated; there’s a greater focus on waterborne activities, and new subjects have been introduced including Drones, Robotics, Bridge Operations and Physical Health and Wellbeing.
Greater bonds to the contemporary Royal Australian Navy have been developed and forged through new cadet category courses, and promotion training at all levels. The program has been transformed to provide cadets with greater leadership, teamwork, mentoring and instructional techniques.
