Hello Parents

Have arranged with Dave Shuttleworth to be available for us at DEB after school Tuesday til 6pm. This applies to any cadets that qualify (that joined from the start of the year, only) to collect uniforms, ceremonials, sashes etc, required for Saturday, Anzac Day parade.

Those cadets that have only been with us a week or two don’t qualify.

Head to the Q Store, Tuesday at DEB
Time: 1500–1800
No access will be available after 1800.

This way cadets will get the best outcome with their needs & they can focus on their requirements for Saturday at Wednesday parade.

As all parents are not on signal yet, if you are in contact with any of them please let them know also.

Could you respond to this message if you will be attending.

Thank you
