25.01.2022 This weekend our unit - 233 St George held ‘Exercise Rebel Dragon’ bivouac (camp) which was located at Holsworthy Military Barracks. The 233 St George army cadets endured a range of lessons such as first aid, field navigation, ratel, and field signals. Following the lessons, cadets completed field activities with a special focus placed on navigation. A mission was given and the cadets within their section of eight, navigated through the bush to reach each check point. It was... intense however the cadets navigational and cadet skills were put into real practice. All in all, the weekend was a success and we appreciate the staff along with the NCOs for their efforts. Thank you to all the cadets for coming and for the great morale. ~ 233 St George Army Cadet Unit

25.01.2022 Meet Our People CDTLCPL Jacky Zhuang enlisted in 2015. He went onto his Junior Leaders Promotion Course in 2/2018. He also attended the Adventure Training Award in 2018 and was awarded the ATA badge, the highest commendation within the Australian Army Cadets. -Cadets for me has been an extremely enjoyable experience, teaching many life skills, respect, courage, initiative and teamwork. Cadets has taught me fundamental skills that aid my daily practices. Within cadets, I ha...ve attended ATA which was located in Canberra. During ATA, I had the opportunity to interact with cadets from across the country, share our experiences and exchange our knowledge. Cadets has also given me the opportunity to fly on a C130 Hercules which was an exciting new experience. Cadets is a great opportunity for anyone willing to step outside their comfort zone, it provides many opportunities and fun experiences, it provides a strong foundation that everyone can build their future off, especially for anyone thinking about the possibility of entering the defense force. Overall, cadets is a wonderful new experience that showcases the defense force, with unique opportunities that cannot be found anywhere else. See more

This year, on the 29th June fourteen cadets participated in a age care nursing home visit at Fairmount Age Care Centre, Bexley.

He has attended AFX and is a capable cadet, striving for opportunities within the Australian Army Cadets. - Hi, i’m cadet Li, one of the cadets in 233 Army Cadet Unit striving to reach great opportunities the Australian Army cadets have provided us with. I have been in cadets for just a little over a year now and I have learnt many things and looking forward to learning more. Although t...hings might have a learning curve, the time you put into learning is time well spent. It is both fun and enjoyable and after each parade night I go home with a smile. The AAC has provided me with great confidence and knowledge both in the field and in real life. The experience you obtain while in the AAC is absolutely amazing and even better with a great unit, excellent leaders and friends you gain along the way. Cadets have given me opportunities to participate in incredible activities such as AFX (Annual Field Exercise). Although it was a week of hard work, the AAC has made it an unforgettable experience and one worth going to again.

02.01.2022 #Throwback 233ACU cadets were able to visit the Army’s Black Hawk during the 23 Battalion Bivouac back in 2016. Cadets gained a deeper understanding in the role of Army Pilots and the equipment used on the job. The Sikorsky Black Hawk is a utility helicopter ideally suited to its primary role of providing air mobility for troops and equipment in the battle zone. Black Hawks can also carry out aerial reconnaissance, observation, direction of artillery fire, casualty evacuation and aerial fire support. When required the aircraft plays a vital role in community support tasks such as search and rescue and the provision of flood relief.
