As a parent of a
potential cadet you will have certain
commitments to the organisation. These are
similar to the commitments you would have to
any community organisation your child might
join.
Your child's safety
has top priority.
All Officers undergo
formal training in risk management on their
Commissioning course. This course includes
NZQA risk management unit standards.
Before they are permitted
to take groups into the bush all officers
have to qualify on the NZCF Outdoor Leaders
coarse. This course also incorporates First
Aid training.
Our Cadet Officers
undergo Activity Supervisors courses
which contribute to their instructor certificate.
All officers are required
to qualify on NZ Defence Force conducted
firearms safety, range safety and shooting
coaching courses before they are allowed to
conduct any form of firearms safety
training.
All cadets complete the
same firearms safety course before they are
allowed to handle and shoot with NZCF
firearms.
Regular Officer up-date
training weekends are conducted to ensure
officers remain current with their skills
and their knowledge.
However, no activity can
be completely risk free. Cadet Forces
officers are trained to recognise and
minimise risk to a point where it does not
impact negatively on your child's learning
experiences.
Cadets have the opportunity to participate
in a wide range of weekend activities
throughout the year:
Power Flying ~ Gliding ~ Camping
~ Tramping ~
Overseas Cadet Exchange ~ Leadership
Courses ~ Shooting ~ Navigation ~
First
Aid
