CAS Cadet Corps holds 107th New Cadets Passing-out Parade (with photos)
************************************************************************
     The Civil Aid Service (CAS) Cadet Corps held the 107th New Cadets Passing-out Parade at the CAS Headquarters today (December 16). The Under Secretary for Security, Mr Sonny Au, officiated at the reviewing ceremony.

     Addressing the Passing-out Parade, Mr Au said that the School Partnership Scheme introduced by the CAS Cadet Corps in 2017 has provided tailor-made disciplinary training for students in co-ordination with the school schedule so as to allow more students to join the CAS Cadet Corps.

     So far, 21 schools and over 1 000 students have participated in the scheme, with 250 students from six participating schools joining today's parade as new cadets. The event demonstrates that the local education sector attaches great importance to disciplinary training for young people, and that the CAS Cadet Corps continually strives to enhance its efforts and achievements in adolescent training.
 
     Established in 1968, the CAS Cadet Corps aims to encourage young people to develop skills and leadership and to build their confidence and sense of responsibility by participating in group activities and training which are beneficial to the development of the mind and body. Adhering to its founding objectives, "To Learn, to grow, to explore, to serve", the Cadet Corps aims at nurturing young people to become future community leaders and to spare no effort in serving the community.
 
     The CAS will soon launch the School Partnership Scheme for 2018. In addition to disciplinary training camps, training covering cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of automated external defibrillators, as well as seminars on mountaineering safety, will also be arranged for participating schools, providing more diverse activities for students.
