History Club member Passes Her Sergeant's Course in the Australian Army Cadets
During the recent school holidays, History Club member, Bronwyn Z in Year 12, passed her Sergeant's course in the Australian Army Cadets.
The course involved nine days at Holsworthy Barracks which involved 5.30am starts, rifle drills for 3 days straight and completing other complex assessments throughout the week. The course was as much a mental challenge as it was physical and Bronwyn has said 'it was really good preparation for the Army and I think it has made me a lot more mentally resilient and mature.'
One of the lessons Bronwyn has taken from the challenges of the course is that making mistakes makes you learn and become more resilient. Brownyn said, 'It made me tougher as I fainted from the heat but I had to teach a completely memorised drill lesson about 20 minutes later. However, I passed with flying colours and the March Out Parade was excellent. I got to talk to a Major General from the Second Division.'
Bronwyn said ' It was definitely worth it and I made connections with people from all around the state (even Norfolk Island & Cobar!)'
Well done Bronwyn and we wish you every success with your military career!
