In the recent school holidays, one 206 ACU Cadet participated in a week-long Public Affair Course, together with Navy and Army Cadets from across the country. The Cadets were able to learn and develop their public affairs knowledge and skills in writing articles and social media content, as well as how to capture professional and memorable photos that will help boost the awareness of Cadets in the community. To give the Cadets challenges and tasks, the Public Affairs course joined the 140 Navy Cadets participating in their annual Fleet Engagement Camp (FEC).

From12th to 19th April 2024, Cadet Corporal Scarlett Gilmore from 206 ACU took part in the course with 16 other Army and Navy Cadets, based all across Australia. Over the first few days, the Cadets were at the RAAF Base Glenbrook participating in Public Affairs Course One, before moving to Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour, where they joined up with the Fleet Engagement Camp 2024 and participating and photographed activities with the Royal Australian Navy and the NSW Police Marine Area Command, including visits to Fleet Base East, HMAS Waterhen, HMAS Penguin, a tour of the guided missile destroyer, HMAS Sydney (V), and with a visiting Royal Australia Navy Sea Hawke helicopter. The course concluded by spending the final day and night aboard amphibious assault ship and flagship of the Royal Australian Navy, HMAS Canberra (III).

The Public Affairs Course One provides knowledge and skills to the Cadets, to be able to promote the AAC activities through the Cadet Program but also the wider community, through capturing and editing professional photographic images and writing appropriate and correct captions, Public Affairs Course Two is solely focused on advanced photography techniques as well as videography, editing techniques and the composition of article pieces for media releases. On the week-long course, the Navy and Army cadets were taught the skills of a Public Affair Officer beginning with beginner photography skills, and how to write captivating captions and articles that show the communities. At the end of the week, the 16 cadets accomplished advanced photography skills and were awarded certificates on becoming a Public Affairs Officer. 

Not only did the 16 Cadets grow and learn the skills to become Public Affairs Officers, but they were also able to bond and work with each other to make lasting memories on camera and also in person. CDTCPL Gilmore said “I found that when it came to working with the Army and Navy Cadets I was able to freely grow and learn with the other Cadets to improve my skills in the Public Affairs Course”

“I met so many people, formed connections through our experiences during the course and it was amazing to work with Cadets that share similarities in our journey in the ADF Cadets despite the different Cadet programs,” said CDTCPL Gilmore. “I will be taking the skills and knowledge I was able to gain from the Public Affairs Course to use for the rest of my Defence Force journey”

“After completing this course, I’m thrilled to say that I’m able to bring my knowledge and the role
of Public Affairs Officer back to my Unit, so the community and families of the Cadets can see
what the unit is doing and how far a Cadet’s improvement in their training is going,” said CDTCPL Gilmore.

At the end of the week-long course, the 16 newly appointed Public Affairs officers were able to go back to their home units with the skills and experience they gained while on the Public Affair Course and continue to grow and expand the awareness of ADF Cadets to local communities and promote and show what Cadets have to offer.

Dear parents, new recruits and staff

Firstly our sincere apologies for the last minute change but due to unavoidable circumstances we are no longer able to stage our planned activities this weekend at Timor Barracks (Dundas) and have been forced to move location for both days to Marist College (the same location of our regular weekly parades).

In addition to this notification I have emailed all parents of new recruits (on email supplied during enrolment) with this same message and an updated copy of the handout for the weekend.

All timings and what to bring remain as per the original handout given (see email this afternoon for revised copy). The only thing we are changing is the actual location for each day. We will be at Marist both days.

Again we are sorry for having to make this change. It’s a very rare event that we change dates/location of our planned unit activities, especially last minute however this was out of our control.

As all of you should already know, this weekend (23-24th March) we are staging a New Recruit Induction Training and Equipment Issue. A handout detailing all timings, locations and equipment required for the weekend was given out last night at Closing Parade to all new recruits.

There is no change to timings or locations as outlined in the handout to be given out at parade tonight.

If you were absent from Parade tonight (or have lost it) and need a copy of the handout for the weekend please email staff(at)206acu(dot)org(dot)au and we will email you a copy.

Its not too late to join the unit just because you missed the new Recruit Info Night but you will need to act quickly as available positions are filling fast. We have had very strong demand this cycle however there are still places left if you act quickly. If you dont join the unit now then you will need to wait until Aug 2019.

As all of you should already know, this weekend (11-12th March) we are staging a New Recruit Induction Training and Equipment Issue. A handout detailing all timings, locations and equipment required for the weekend was given out last night at Closing Parade to all new recruits.

There is no change to timings or locations as outlined in the handout given out last night for this weekend.

If you were absent from Parade on Tue (or have lost it) and need a copy of the handout for the weekend please email staff(at)206acu(dot)org(dot)au and we will email you a copy.

As we mentioned on New Recruit Info Night, we have experienced very strong demand to join the unit this cycle. We would love to take everyone however, we have limited equipment available to issue. Available places will go first to new recruits who have both submitted completed Joining Documents as well as having paid the unit joining fee.

We appreciate your ongoing support and we will do everything we can to ensure the maximum number of new recruits can join the unit this cycle. We are continuing to chase up kit returns from ex-cadets who have recently left the unit and our success in that will open additional positions this intake. We will have a clearer idea over the next 2-3 weeks of the max. final numbers we can accept. We will advise the max. positions available this intake by no later than Thur 9th March.

At this stage we recommend all potential new recruits parade with the unit up until Tue 7th March to ensure that you don’t miss any training.

Its not too late to join the unit just because you missed the new Recruit Info Night but you will need to act quickly as available positions are filling fast. We have had very strong demand this cycle however there are still a few places left if you act quickly. If you dont join the unit now then you will need to wait until Aug 2017.

Fill in an online nomination to express interest in joining ASAP and then download the official joining documents by clicking here. Once completed electronically the documents must be saved and then emailed to enrolment@206acu.org.au from a parents email address. We can only accept electronic copies of the joining documents not printed hard copies.

The unit is staging its first open night for 2017 on Tue 14th February as per details listed below. The night will showcase 206 Army Cadet Unit and highlight a sample of training activities conducted. At the conclusion of the Info Night, those who are interested will be invited to join the unit. If you or your friends want to join 206 ACU as a new recruit and become an Army cadet be sure and complete an online expression of interest to reserve a spot as we have limited places for new recruits.

Before you can join the unit you will need to email in all your completed joining forms and pay the joining fee. The joining forms can be downloaded by clicking here.

We apologise for difficulties in accessing the documents – this was particularly highlighted during tonight's Parent Info Session.

Thanks to parents who attended tonight's Parent Info Session. 

For cadets who are still experiencing forums problems, please see the previous post for actions to take.

– CPL (AAC) A. Yeung

Despite our best efforts, a number of new recruits' forums accounts are reportedly inaccessible due to issues with provided password. Some of these have been rectified since Tuesday and if recruits were having difficulty logging in, here are some steps to take:

1. Try your issued password again – some accounts were reset back to those passwords & manually tested
2. Attempt a self-service password reset. Many recruits are using their parent's email address – so make sure to look in the parent's email inbox, or otherwise the recruit's own
3. If neither of these work, please email staff@206acu.org.au to request a reset.

Be advised that as previously advised we still plan to restage that Biv this weekend as planned.

Be advised that the unit will recommence parading for 2016 as from Tue 2nd Feb 2016. The dress for the entire company is DPCU Barracks.

While this is our first official weekly parade of the year, be advised we are restaging the postponed Biv-4/15 this weekend (ie 30-31st Jan) prior to our first weekly parade. Please see the update below for more details.

As we are all aware Biv was postponed, because of this we will be proceeding with a normal full unit parade parade this Tuesday. This means you are REQUIRED TO BE AT CADETS TUESDAY 24 NOV 15. PLT Training has not finished and I’m sure your PLT has plenty of things to do.PLT CMD’s and PLT SGT’s this week is a great opportunity for retests to be done and also inspecting your PLT’s Ceremonial Dress, reinforcing drill for ceremonial parade. There will also be some Ceremonial Parade practice.If you have any questions cadets are to PM your secco’s/2IC’s and Snr Comd team are to PM Coy Cmd or CSM.

Be advised that unfortunately it looks like we will need to postpone the Bivouac this weekend to a later date in the to be advised. For more details you can refer to the forum Bivouac topic here - Bivouac topic updateObviously this news is disappointing and inconvenient for all of us but we cannot proceed on any activity without having formal approval by HQ.Check the website homepage and/or this topic again tonight before sleeping and tomorrow morning after waking to check to see if there is any further update. I will post to the website and forums again if we are ok to proceed as planned.

Sadly, we have been unable to get confirmation of our approval for the  Bivouac this weekend so unfortunately we will be postponing and the Bivouac will not go ahead tomorrow. As a result do not attend the form up tomorrow morning.

Once Ive had a chance to discuss alternate dates to restage the Biv with the adult staff we will publish the alternate date.

Dear parents,

We will begin refunding the payments made for Unit Jerseys/Hoodies, beginning 05 Aug 2014. These will be delivered to your son/daughter in a marked envelope.

Regrettably, unit members were unable to reach the 25 items minimum order, even though over 25 expressions of interest were received.

Towards the end of the year we hope to restart a 2015 Jerseys drive, hopefully with better group participation.

Parent queries please contact alan.yeung [at] 206acu.org.au

If you are a new Recruit and go to Marist you will be aware that you need to complete 2hrs of Expo service before coming out to the New Recruit Induction Weekend. This previously meant that you couldnt leave with the rest of the unit on Sat morning and your parents would need to drive you all the way out to Banksmeadow after your 2hrs of Expo service was completed Sat am.

As a result of a special arrangement with the Deputy Headmaster you can now complete your 2hrs Expo service on Friday afternoon. If you do that it means you can form up and leave with the rest of the unit on Sat and your parents will not need to drive you.

Comd Team members who are at Marist are still required to complete their Expo service Sat am.

Unfortunately, due to the large volume of rain in our activity area during the past 4-days Ive had to make the difficult decision to postpone Bivouac-2/11 from this weekend until either 23rd - 24th July (1st weekend term-3) or 30th - 31st July (2nd weekend term-3).

As a result of the postponement of Bivouac-2/11 this weekend the entire unit will parade as usual next Tue 21st June and the training scheduled for Tue 28th June will now be staged on 21st June. 

Unfortunately, due to the large volume of rain in our activity area we had to take the difficult decision to postpone Bivouac-2/11 until the weekend of 23rd - 24th July (1st weekend term-3). If you have already submitted your documentation and paid you only need to submit the new Permission Note on Tue 19th July.
