Civil Aid Service Cadet Corps holds 138th New Cadets Passing-out Parade (with photos)
*************************************************************************************
Over 100 cadets were reviewed at the parade this year. Some of them are from schools participating in the 2023-24 School Partnership Scheme.
Before and after the parade, the Guard of Honour and the Bicycle Demonstration Team of the Cadet Corps performed a flag-raising ceremony and a bicycle show respectively for the guests and parents who came to support the new cadets, showcasing their talents and skills.
Speaking at the parade, Mr Wong commended the new cadets for their remarkable endurance, perseverance, and co-operation skills. He said he believed that they will become contributing and responsible members of society in the years to come. He also thanked CAS members and instructors for their hard work in nurturing young leaders.
Celebrating its 55th anniversary, the CAS Cadet Corps has been encouraging young people over the years to participate in activities and training that are beneficial to the development of the mind and body, so they can acquire multifaceted skills while building their confidence and sense of responsibility. The CAS Cadet Corps has spared no effort in promoting national education and national security education as always this year. Apart from fully adopting Chinese-style foot drill and flag raising, it also organised over 30 relevant events for over 3 000 cadets to deepen their understanding about the country and its latest development, thereby fostering their sense of national identity and enabling them to contribute to the future of Hong Kong and the country. The events include Mainland exchange and study programmes, visits to the Ngong Shuen Chau Barracks, coastal cleanups by kayaking, and promotional activities on ecological security.
Recruitment of CAS cadets is open for applications throughout the year. Recruitment details and application forms are available on the CAS website (www.cas.gov.hk).
