Calling our Pymble Cadet Alumni!

Pymble Cadet Alumni – can you help us shape the leaders of tomorrow?

As our Cadet Unit continues to flourish and set new benchmarks in youth leadership, we are reaching out to our talented Alumni community to be part of this exciting journey.

As the Pymble Ladies’ College Cadet Unit (PLCCU) continues to expand, we are pleased to invite expressions of interest from our esteemed Alumni to join our team—initially as Defence-approved Adult Helpers, with the opportunity to undertake additional training to progress towards becoming Officers of Cadets. The PLCCU remains Australia’s first independent all-female Cadet unit, and we take pride in the dynamic community and unique developmental opportunities it creates for our students.

With increased membership and ambitious plans for further growth, we are eager to welcome new staff members who can provide support, leadership, and supervision to our current cadets. As an Alumni, your experience and insight make you an ideal fit to inspire and nurture the next generation of leaders within our unit. Cadets experience is preferred but not essential.

About the Role

• We are seeking casual staff available to assist during our Monday afternoon parades (3.30pm to 5.30pm during term time).
• Additional support is also required during our two annual off-campus field camps (approximately 4–5 days each, typically commencing at the start of the April and December school holidays).
• There is further need for assistance at our three-day Promotions Course held on campus at the start of the June school holidays.

The primary responsibilities of these positions are to provide adult supervision, ensure the safe and effective running of activities, and offer guidance to the Cadets throughout their training, camps, and leadership development experiences.

Comprehensive training and ongoing guidance will be provided to ensure you are fully supported in your role. There will also be opportunities for further training and professional development as part of your involvement with the unit, including progression towards a formal Officer of Cadets position.

To become a Defence Adult Helper, you will be required to undergo the standard Defence vetting process, including Police and Working with Children checks.

This is a wonderful opportunity to help shape the leaders of tomorrow. Your contribution would strengthen our program and help ensure the continued success and positive impact of the PLCCU.

If you are interested in joining us or would like to find out more, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you and hopefully welcoming you back to Pymble in this important capacity. For further details please contact Mrs Chris Boland, Co-ordinator – Duke of Edinburgh and Cadets at dukes@pymblelc.nsw.edu.au.or on 02 9497 7850.
