Evie Whitworth (Yr 10) extends our school values of Excellence, Courage, Respect, and Responsiveness within her Navy Cadet training of the Sea Cadet Corps.

Evie has been a member of the TS Achilles (Auckland) for the past two years, and she says she really enjoys the self-confidence, discipline, and teamwork that the cadetship offers.

"It is really supportive, I encourage others my age to get involved," says Evie, who has brought some pamphlets with more information to school, located in Student Reception, for students interested in joining.

Activities include sailing, kayaking, range shooting, and marching drills. Navy Cadets also have the opportunity to experience life in the RNZN, through Ship and Base visits.

"Trainings are every Thursday during the school term," says Evie, adding "We also do activities like sailing, kayaking, range shooting, and marching drills."

Training Ship ACHILLES is a Sea Cadet unit of the New Zealand Cadet Forces. Navy Cadets also have the opportunity to experience life in the RNZN, through Ship and Base visits.
