24.01.2022 A little sneak peak of the hall in preparation for the start of next term! We have been into contact with the hall organisers and we are allowed 41 people in the hall at one time. This number has come from them marking out the hall and double checking with regulations and rules!

23.01.2022 News we have all been waiting for Discussion has been happening amongst the adult members of Mt Sugarload Division and we have chosen to resume to our lessons this year! Due to current restrictions and St John guidelines, we are putting in place a policy for the youth and members when a return date is chosen. ... We are most likely returning with the next school term but more information and personal calls will be distributed further. If any parents and carers have any further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact this page or send a personal message. Thank you, MT Sugarloaf Management Team

19.01.2022 No further news as of yet regarding the return of St John Cadet meeting nights. Although there is no news, we look forward to seeing the cadets and being able to educate and grow their knowledge of First Aid.

19.01.2022 Hope to see everyone tonight at 6:30 in full uniform, ready to start our learning!

18.01.2022 Good evening everyone, Not the news we want to be announcing but due to the ongoing risk of COVID-19 and the second outbreak in Victoria, we have decided for the well-being of everyone to push back the commencement dates for this term. Considering the circumstances, the decision is to wait it out until hopefully half way through this term or waiting until next term. ... Although we still do not have a date chosen, the management team of Mt Sugarloaf Cadet Division is commencing their training and recertification in preparation for when we can resume to teaching our wonderful cadets. Thank you for your understanding, Mt Sugarloaf Management Team.

18.01.2022 Happy New year everyone, we hope you all enjoyed your Christmas break. Mt Sugarloaf adult members are having a meeting next week to discuss the upcoming year. Further details will be released after the meeting on the 10th of February, once they are available.

17.01.2022 Tonight is the last week of term for the year! This means it is our social night. Please wear whatever you want tonight, pjs, a Santa costume, even a grinch costume! We will be playing games and doing some arts and crafts as well as supplying the cadets with dinner. ... The only thing we ask of you is to bring a pair of scissors! See everyone tonight at 6:30.

17.01.2022 Dear Cadets, Parents & Caregivers, In 2009, Mt Sugarloaf Cadet Division received a new lease of life when Scott Roach decided to become our Superintendent. In these 11 years, MSCD saw its management team form and grow, driving the division to success as cadets were recruited and the organisation brought into the spotlight of the community. It didn’t take long for Mt Sugarloaf Cadets to gain a reputation, a reputation for being one of the most active and strongest cadet divisi...ons in the area. With a division of 25-30 active cadets aged between 8-18 years of age,we conquered First Aid Competitions, attended and assisted various duties, organised duties such as V8 Supercars, held fun games nights and dress ups, interviewed for the paper, demonstrated first aid skills at public events, attended first aid courses and dutifully attended meeting nights week after week. Not to mention, the long-term friendships that were made. The Management Team are extremely proud of our cadets and the effort and enthusiasm that they put in week after week. Over the years, we have loved watching them grow and develop their confidence and are constantly amazed at the compassion that they show members of the public. Unfortunately, due to varying personal and family commitments, many of us are finding it difficult to commit 100% to MSCD. We have therefore made the heartbreaking decision to make 2020 the final year of Mt Sugarloaf Cadet Division. This decision has not been made lightly and has been extremely hard for us to come to terms with, as we see MSCD as a family. We are still in the process of finalising our transition into a mobile adult only division, so we can continue to assist in duties where we can; hence, you will probably still see us around! We would really love for our cadets to consider transferring to another local division, to keep mastering their first aid skills, make friends and have fun. We are happy to come along with you and introduce you to either of our local divisions. We have worked quite closely with both of these divisions for a number of years and feel that they will look after our cadets. The local divisions are: Wallsend Cadet Division Meets: 6:30-8:30 pm Thursday nights Address: Minmi Community Hall, 96 Woolford Street, Minmi. Contact: John Comyns: 0418 566 889 Lake Macquarie Cadet Division Meets: 6:30-8:30pm Monday nights Address: St John Hall, James Street Warners Bay Contact: Damien Wardrope: 0408 475 604 We would finally like to say a huge thank you, to firstly our cadets who constantly amaze us with their dedication and hard work to our families and community members who have stood by us, supported us and assisted us. THANK YOU!! We would not have been able to run so smoothly and successfully, for so many years without everyone’s help. Please feel free to keep in touch, we would love to hear how everyone gets on and progresses in the future. Yours Sincerely, Mt Sugarloaf Cadet Management Team.

16.01.2022 I hope everyone is doing well and embracing yet another change. Numbers in establishments are increasing as well as opening their doors back open as of today, not tomorrow. (1st June).

I ask that everyone continues to perform high levels of COVID-19 safe hygiene practices.
