Cadet Camp builds resilience and leadership

Cadets is an essential part of the experience of attending Knox; all Year 8 students participate in a year of Cadets from Term 4, with most students continuing beyond the compulsory first year. The Cadet program is co-educational, with students from Knox and Ravenswood School for Girls participating in activities together.

The Cadet Unit was established in 1929. Cadet Unit goes beyond the provisions of outdoor recreation, fun and leadership. It is a crucible in which the traditions and heritage of the Schools are distilled and perpetuated. Our Cadet program forms a distinctive and essential part of the character and ethos of the School in assisting to make each Knox boy a well-rounded person.
