What if my cadet is sick or is unable to make it to parade night?

The cadet must register their "leave" via the Squadron Intranet Sharepoint site (Cadet Area button above) that they are unable to attend prior to the start of the parade. See: https://5squadron.sharepoint.com, login as the cadet and then find the line "Parade Night Absence".

​

What are the typical steps that happen to sign up for an activity?

For each activity, the cadet must sign up in advance on Cadetnet - typically 4-6 weeks prior to the event. The parent or guardian will then receive a request to "Approve" the activity. Typically 2-3 weeks prior to an event, an email will be sent to the cadet and parent/guardian including a briefing sheet. The briefing sheet contains vital information on what, when, where, who, and other details. The briefing sheets are generally uploaded to this website - see below for the button link.

​

Who can I contact about questions for an activity such as a Tramp or volunteering at a Marathon?

For each activity, the briefing sheet contains vital information on what, when, where, who, and other details to help prepare for the activity. In addition, the briefing sheet will contain the OIC (Officer In Charge) contact details for the particular activity.

​

Will the weather affect the activity?

If the activity is weather dependent and the weather forecast is unfavourable, the OIC will make a call on whether to continue or cancel the activity and let the parents / guardian know by email the night before.

​

Cadet Transportation?

Many cadet activities are located around the Auckland area - and cadets will need to be transported to / from the activity. A few months ago, 5 Squadron was fortunate to receive a significant grant to purchase a 9 seater van - which can be used for some activities. In addition, parents from similar areas can work together to car pool the cadets ​to either Wednesday night parade or the various activities. We encourage parents to use Team Reach to find other parents in near by areas who want to car pool.
