Sea Cadets from TS Achilles were privileged to be invited to raise the flags on the roof of Auckland Museum during the Anzac Day Dawn Service at the Cenotaph. After the ceremony, the Cadets got to meet Willie Apiata VC and have their photo taken with him. What an honour! Senior Sea Cadets from the Auckland area took part in a Powerboat Training weekend recently. This course teaches Senior Cadets how to drive Powerboats safely so they can support younger Cadets while out Sailing. Sea Cadets from Training Ship Achilles helped to man a stand all about Sea Cadets at the Devonport Navy Base Open Day. During their breaks, they went off and explored other areas of the Open Day, which included visits on board New Zealand Navy Ships and First Aid demonstrations by Navy Medics. It was an awesome day - check out the photos below... Things are very busy at TS Achilles at the moment.
