HOMEPAGE

This page contains information regarding weekly parade times and the location of the Squadron. You can also find a contact number and an email address for the Administration Officer.


HOW TO SUBMIT LEAVE

(New Process)

The Squadron has a new protocol for submitting leave applications from weekly parade nights.

The preferred method to submit leave is through the form on the website (explained below), however leave can still be submitted via email if need be.


Process:

Navigate to the website → Click on [SUBMIT LEAVE] → Fill out the web form → Click [Submit]

Make sure that you follow all of the directions in the form so that we are able to process your leave application.

Leave must be submitted by 1700hrs (5pm) on Mondays for it to be valid.

You must also have a valid reason for requiring leave, i.e. Academic Reasons, Sickness, etc.

If you do not show up to a parade night, and have not submitted leave, you will be marked as absent on CadetOne.

If you are marked as absent too often, you will need to have an intervention with the Commanding Officer where he will discuss your options.

The best policy is to ensure you have submitted leave early and correctly.

PLEASE NOTE: Leave must be submitted by the cadets only, as it is their responsibility, not the responsibility of parents/guardians.
