25.01.2022 - [[Wattle Park Commemoration Service]] - On Sunday the 18th of April MHSACU participated in it its first ceremonial event of the year, the Wattle Park Anzac Commemoration Service. The unit provided 5 select cadets to form the catafalque party for the service, one which honours the cultural, historical and emotional significance of the ANZACs and the nation’s oldest Gallipoli lone pine. Thank you to the cadets that participated in the catafalque party and congratulations on a job well done.

24.01.2022 -[[SURVIVAL CAMP]]- Over the weekend, the Unit has conducted the highly-anticipated Survival Camp along with a few cadets from 415 Squadron - Australian Air Force Cadets. This is by far the most challenging camp offered by the Unit, and it aims to push the mental and physical boundaries of the participating cadets. The cadets were faced with numerous challenges throughout the four days of the camp, and could only rely on minimum resources to survive. They also had to put thei...r most advanced skills into use, including shelter building, fire lighting, navigating without compasses, snare building, and many more. In the process, the cadets will have to endure the harsh weather and lack of sleep, while forming strong friendships along the way. Photos from the camp can be found in the "Photos" section of the Page. Here is what the candidates think about the camp: Survival camp was only my third cadet camp and I knew I was in for a big challenge. The camp was a much more physically intensive than previous camps, proving to be a challenge. We had to erect a small shelter using logs from the forest in order to keep us warm in the night. We also only received minimal sustenance which mostly came in the form of raw fruits and vegetables, which we would have to cook over the fire. In spite of all these challenges we faced, the camp allowed us to build stronger bonds with our fellow cadets as we worked together to survive in an unforgiving environment. In the end, all the physical pain and mental stress was worth it. - CDT Aziz Survival was one of the hardest camps cadets has to offer but also one of the most rewarding. Doing long walks in the freezing cold and spending hours collecting firewood during the night aren’t fun, but they make every other camp seem easy. - CDT Mann It was cold and wet, but our morale was surprisingly not at rock bottom. The best part was definitely the homy feel I had while sharing a simple meal with my fellow section members next to our shabby dwelling. If I had the choice I would probably go again. - CDTLCPL Su Survival camp was challenging but very rewarding. It tests you on your ability to lead a team and make quick decisions while keeping a clear mind and staying calm in tough situations. Definitely an experience to remember! - CDTLCPL Marañon Expect to make friends, use sticks and stones and deforest entire forests. Anything else? ‘You'll find out.’ - CDT Bhatia

24.01.2022 -[[ANNUAL PARADE]]- On Thursday the 18th of October, the Unit took part in the Melbourne High School Annual Parade along with 415 Squadron - Australian Air Force Cadets and Tattam Ceremonial Band. The Reviewing Officer of the parade was MAJGEN Bilton AM CSC of the Australian Army, who graduated from Melbourne High School and MHSACU in 1982. The principal of Melbourne High School, Mr Jeremy Ludowyke, joined the Reviewing Officer to inspect the parade. The parade then saw a mar...ch past in both slow and quick time accompanied with music by the band. Awards were distributed to the outstanding members of the Unit, Squadron and Band. Nearing the conclusion, the Class of 2018 fell out and performed a march past through the ranks in slow time for the last time. We farewell the cohort, and thank them for all their dedication and contribution towards the Unit, Squadron and Band. We also wish them the best of luck for their upcoming examinations. Well done to every cadet from the Unit, Squadron and Band for a spectacular parade.

23.01.2022 -[[WELCOME TO 2019]]- Today, the Unit saw its first Home Training of 2019. We are all thrilled to see the new recruits of the Unit, and we are eager to develop them into future leaders by allowing them to reach their maximum potential. The new recruits were given an introductory lesson on the Unit, where they learned the what it takes to be a cadet, as well as the opportunities they have within the organisation. Then, the cadets met their SNCOs, who taught them some basic dr...ill movements including Standing at Attention and Standing at Ease. The senior cadets were also greeted with a warm welcome back from their Platoon Commanders. The retention rate is especially high this year, and it is obvious to all that everyone is excited for another year at Cadets. We would like to welcome everyone to 2019, and we look forward to a great year ahead!

22.01.2022 -[[LEGACY SERVICE]]- On Wednesday the 3rd of April, cadets from MHSACU along with 415 Squadron Airforce Cadets formed the Guard of Honour for the 88th Legacy Anzac Commemoration Ceremony for Students, accompanied by music from the MHS Ceremonial Band (Tattam Band). Held at the Shrine of Remembrance, the Commemoration Ceremony allowed students from both primary and secondary schools across Victoria to pay respects and remember the service of military personel. ... Thank you to the cadets who formed the guard for the ceremony and attended the rehearsals prior.

21.01.2022 -[[RECRUIT TRAINING WEEKEND]]- On the 1st and 2nd of March, the Unit ran a Recruit Training Weekend. The training weekend aims to develop and consolidate skills within the new recruits of the Unit. Recruits were taught basic skills across various areas, including Radio Telecommunications (Ratel), Navigation, First Aid, Field Craft, Camouflage and Concealment (Cam and con) and more. Overall, the Training Weekend was a success with all recruits developing crucial experiences a...nd learning new skills. It was also marked a major milestone for them as it was the first time they put on their uniform. Thank you to all those involved in the successful training and operation of the weekend!

20.01.2022 -[[ANNUAL FIELD EXERCISE]]- Over the weekend, the cadets in the unit, along with some members of 415 Squadron - Australian Air Force Cadets, participated in Annual Field Exercise (AFX), the most anticipated camp of the year. The centrepiece of this camp is the exercise itself, a large-scale game of capture the flag which has been run yearly for the last twenty-eight years. The unit is divided into sides and each side takes control of a large territory. Cadets then set up the...ir flags, known as assets, and attempt to steal the enemies assets without being caught. Cadets avoid being caught by being as quiet as possible and, at night, avoiding the use of flashlights. All the skills that cadets had accumulated throughout the year were put into practice, be it constructing assets or raiding enemy areas. It was all done under highly adversarial conditions for cadets who had very little sleep throughout the exercise and were constantly working to try to get the competitive edge. At the end of the exercise, both sides gathered in front of the whiteboard and the scores were written up. Once everything had been accounted for, South Side narrowly won by two points with the final score being 847-849. Both sides performed very well and had a very relaxing afternoon once the exercise had ended. For the class of 2019, this was their final camp after a long and fruitful cadet career. They have all devoted countless hours to planning this and other camps to ensure they run as smoothly as possible. Now as the transition of leadership to the class of 2020 starts, we hope that next years officers can live up to the extremely high standard set this year. Well done to all cadets involved for a very fierce competition!

20.01.2022 -[[SURVIVAL CAMP]]- Last weekend, selected candidates attended the unit Survival Camp. This is the most challenging experience offered in the unit and it aims to test, not only the skills used during regular camps but also how the cadets operate under highly adversarial conditions. Over the four days, candidates were constantly under pressure to apply advanced skills to complete challenging tasks with minimal resources. Their challenges included survival shelter building, fir...e lighting without matches, snare building and navigation without compasses. Throughout the whole experience, candidates endured harsh weather, limited food and limited sleep. After an intense four days, and impressive displays of resilience from all candidates, they had all completed the camp and collected the much desired survival patch which they may now wear on their uniform. Here are some candidates’ thoughts about the camp: For all it’s worth, survival camp is the most memorable and worthwhile camp the unit has to offer. All aspects of cadet skills are put to test and both our mental and physical endurance are stretched to the limit. This experience has taught me things that I won’t forget for the rest of my life. -CDTLCPL Taige Dong Survival camp was a camp that I personally would never forget. As candidates, we embraced the challenges thrown at us and fought through them as a team. The camp tested our teamwork and cadet skills in the most harsh conditions. It is certainly the hardest and most rewarding camp that MHSACU has to offer. I would recommend this camp to every aspiring cadet. -CDT Nicholas Xavier Once in a lifetime opportunity. It is most literally the epitome of cadets. Grab hold of your sticks and stones, build your fire and push through. Many surprises to come. Keep your head up. Never leave a man behind. Survive. -CDT Benson Lin "Survival camp pushed my mental and physical capacity to the very extremes. It is one of (if not the) toughest challenge I have faced at MHSACU and tested my field skills, morale, cooperation, teamwork and most importantly, persistence. " -CDTLCPL Pranit Parashar Survival Camp was by far the most physically and mentally challenging camp I have ever participated in. However, the hours spent creating your survival shelter, collecting firewood in the dead of night and having cooked conversations with your section mates made it an overall rewarding experience. -CDTLCPL Richard Zhang Survival camp was extremely hard physically and mentally. Having barely any food and going on long hikes exhausted us but we kept pushing till the end. It felt incredibly rewarding and brought all of us closer together. It was truely a experience worth going through. -CDT Ryan Gumanti Congratulations to all candidates for completing this extremely demanding camp!

19.01.2022 -[[OFFICERS DINNER]]- Last Friday (19th October), the NCOs, CUOs, Adult Officers and several Old Boys attended the annual Officers Dinner at the Kelvin Club.

18.01.2022 -[[NCO TRAINING CAMP]]- From the 14th of February to the 16th of February, a joint activity was conducted with 415 squadron - Australian Airforce Cadets, the NCO Training Camp. NCO camp is a camp aimed at training leaders of all ranks to fit into their new roles, offering valuable experiences and lessons to learn from as they progress throughout the year. For the candidates, NCO camp pushed them to transition from the mindset of a cadet into that of a sectional commander. Th...roughout the camp, the candidates practised leading sections throughout a variety of scenarios and exercises such as navigation, first aid and other situations that could be faced by a sectional commander. The practice of leading sections allowed the candidates to understand the high expectations and skills required of them for the role and how they could improve for the future. For the NCOs and CUOs, the activity acted as training for the smooth running and execution of the camp. The ADS (CDTCPLs and CDTSGTs) were responsible for creating challenges and scenarios, in order to assess candidates on their navigation, first aid, ratel, fieldcraft, situational leadership and judgement and other skills in a variety of different situations. Despite the fluctuating weather conditions, the camp was an overall success. Thank you to all staff, NCOs and candidates for making this happen!

15.01.2022 -[[ Anzac Day Driveway Vigils]]- Despite the current limiting and socially isolating circumstances of Covid-19, on Saturday 25th of April communities across the country including MHSACU cadets, participated in the Anzac Day Driveway Vigils. The aim of the vigils was to commemorate the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country in the defense force. The vigils offered a unique opportunity to all individuals to come together and honour those who made and continue to make sacrifices to allow us to be where we are today. Thank you to all cadets that participated. Lest we forget

12.01.2022 -[[DRESS AND DRILL COMPETITION]]- On Monday the 3rd of September, the Unit had a Dress and Drill competition along with 415 Squadron - Australian Air Force Cadets and Tattam Ceremonial Band. The cadets have had many rehearsal sessions to improve their drill throughout the term, and they all had a spectacular performance on Monday. Congratulations to the cadets for their impressive performance on the day. Extra congratulations to 4 Platoon for coming second in the overall comp...etition, and Basic Flight of 415 Squadron - Australian Air Force Cadets for winning the event. Thanks for all the efforts put in by everyone involved in the competition. It was an amazing event which has definitely sharpened the drill skills of all cadets.

12.01.2022 -[[ANNUAL FIELD EXERCISE]]- From the 20th (19th for Advanced Party) to the 24th of September, the Unit conducted its highly anticipated Annual Field Exercise, otherwise known as the AFX. A couple of cadets from 415 Squadron - Australian Air Force Cadets also came along to the camp. AFX features an intensive ‘Capture the Flag’ style game, something which has been traditional to the unit since 1991. In the game, the cadets were split into two sides, North and South, each with t...heir own Area of Operation. Throughout the exercise, cadets were required to set up ‘assets’ in their own territory, as well as sweep for enemy assets to score points. There are also additional HQ raids and minigames which would test cadets in even more areas. In the end, the side with more points would win the game. Cadets were faced with great challenges that put everything they have learnt in the year to the test. They were required to use their field engineering skills to build various ‘assets’ throughout the Area of Operation. They also used their Cam and Con skills to try to ‘raid’ the enemy side. Moreover, they had to make sure their navigation skills were perfect as they need to get to specific areas of the enemy territory to conduct sweeps. These 48 hours proved to be even more challenging as the cadets had very little breaks and sleep in between, and therefore had to carry out their skills while being physically and mentally drained. After an intensive 48 hours, both sides managed to get exactly 710 points. This meant that the competition ultimately resulted in a draw, something which was almost unprecedented (with only one prior occurrence) throughout the 27 years of exercise. However, there is no doubt that cadets of every rank performed extraordinarily well despite the pressure, and have greatly increased their skills as a result of this camp. Thus, training is the ultimate winner! Congratulations to everyone for a great camp!

09.01.2022 -[[WAVERLEY RSL]]- On Sunday the 14th of April, MHSACU's senior cadets formed the procession of the Waverley RSL ANZAC Commemoration Service, including the banner party. Accompanied by 415 Squadron Air Force Cadets and MHS Ceremonial Band, cadets represented both the school and the Unit extremely well. This service provided an opportunity for cadets to embody the ANZAC Spirit and honour Australian and New Zealand service personnel who served and passed away in conflicts, wars... and peacekeeping operations. Thank you to those who attended this service!

09.01.2022 -[[BIVOUAC 2019]]- This year's Bivouac ran from the 20th of June to the 25th of June. Through the cold, cadets further consolidated their skills in the field and completed the confidence course, an obstacle course that all cadets undertook. The confidence course was the highlight for many during Bivouac, involving various obstacles set up by senior cadets, upon completion, cadets were rewarded with a warm shower. Recruits further reinforced their training through fun activiti...es including day navigation, round-robin lessons and night exercises. Senior cadets challenged themselves through undertaking a trek over 40 Kilometers over 3 days. Whilst intermediate cadets further developed their skills through various activities, learned about survival shelters and constructed the confidence course alongside the unit. Ultimately the camp was extremely successful and all cadets, working through the cold, developed various skills and gained new knowledge. Thank you to all cadets, NCOs, Officers and Staff for an amazing Bivouac!

08.01.2022 -[[Unit Training Camp]]- Over the weekend from the 14th to 16th of March, the unit conducted its annual TRG camp. The first unit-wide camp of the year, its aim was to develop and strengthen the skills of the recruits and the senior cadets. For the recruits, the camp was their first experience outfield and allowed them to put skills learnt over the term such as navigation, radiotelecommunication and fieldcraft into practice. This was done through exercises such as navigating ...to checkpoints by day, observation by night and lantern stalks. Being their first cadet camp, they were all challenged mentally and physically but managed to emerge with closer friendships and sharpened skills as a result. For the seniors, the camp reinforced and challenged their existing field skills. The year 10 cadets participated in things such as the river crossing and glowstick pursuits, activities which forced them to apply their skills in different, unique ways compared to when they were recruits. The year 11 and 12 cadets were confronted with further challenges in raft building, long hikes, navigation by the sun and survival shelter building, exercises which required the cadets to draw on their most advanced knowledge learnt across their cadet careers. Overall TRG camp was a complete success. It gave the cadets the opportunity to develop and strengthen their skills, setting a positive tone for the year ahead. Thank you to all cadets, NCOs and staff for the running of a smooth camp.
