What Will I Gain as a Cadet of TS Perth?
As a Navy cadet, you'll get to explore your full potential, develop confidence, self-discipline, learn a range of skills, make friends and along the way have some serious fun. The skills and experience you learn from Navy cadets will stay with you for life.
"When I first joined cadets I was very shy and wouldn't talk much. Now, if you ever get the chance to meet me, I can't be quiet. I'm a lot more self confident about who I am and my strengths and weaknesses. Cadets teaches us how to embrace your strengths and develop your weaknesses."
"Cadets has given me so much!!!!!!! Such things as friends, leadership skills, sailing and boating qualifications, communication skills and a First Aid Certificate just to name a few. It is so beneficial to everyone."
