Celebrating 16 Years of Bombala High School Cadets
This year marks a remarkable milestone for Bombala High School’s Cadet Program as it proudly celebrates its 16th anniversary of operation. Over the years, the program has grown into a cornerstone of leadership & resilience for local students, and 2025 is no exception.
We are especially proud of this year's Year 9 cadets, who have demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication in first aid, firefighting, and leadership. Their commitment and capability reflect the strength and legacy of the program, and they’ve truly set a high standard for future cadets to follow.
A heartfelt thank you goes to Group Captain John Reed, whose unwavering dedication and leadership over many years have shaped the program into what it is today. His service and guidance have been instrumental in developing the next generation of confident, capable young leaders.
We also extend our sincere thanks to Ms Donna Shelly
Cadet Coordinator - Bombala High School.
And wish to acknowledge District Officers Danny Barker & Tom Phillips for sharing their time, experience, and knowledge. Your mentorship has proven invaluable in guiding and inspiring these cadets every step of the way.
Here's to the continued success of the Bombala Cadets for many years to come!
