TS Cockburn Navy Cadets

The Australian Navy Cadets (ANC) is a leading provider of youth development experiences. The ANC is sponsored by the Royal Australian Navy and aims to build leadership skills in young people through adventure and exciting learning activities.

Becoming a Navy Cadet means making new friends, being part of a team that values you and experiencing challenges that will develop your potential as a leader. Adventure and fun are the key ingredients for all camping, water sport and team challenge activities. Navy Cadets learn how to sail, navigate and gain skills in everything from IT, communications, cooking and first aid to drill and seamanship.

Becoming an ANC Staff member is equally challenging and rewarding. Cadet Officers and Instructors are volunteers with a keen interest in working with young people. ANC Staff are highly respected members of their communities who undertake comprehensive training in youth leadership and safety management to become Unit leaders.
The ANC is a growing organisation with 91 Cadet Units called 'Training Ships' around Australia.

The ANC is continually evolving to meet the needs of Australia's youth and community expectations. The life skills that Cadets learn complement their academic achievements and stand them in good stead for rewarding careers. Many former Cadets return as ANC Officers and Instructors to pass on their knowledge and experience to inspire future leaders.
