The cadets stood in formation awaiting the arrival of Commander Gregory and the inspecting officer.
Inspections of all three sections took place by the Inspecting Officer, Commodore Bellfield. This was an opportunity for cadets to share their experiences over the past year, discussing the camps they attended, the activities they enjoyed, and their future within the CCF. It also allowed them to reflect on how the CCF has been a crucial part of their school life over the past year.
Following the inspection, it was time for the march-past—one of the most crucial moments of the parade. The cadets marched with precision, saluting Commodore Bellfield and demonstrating the values that the CCF upholds.
After the inspection, parents and staff joined the CCF for the awards ceremony. Prizes, including trophies and certificates, were presented to cadets in recognition of their contributions to the CCF. Additionally, the three cadet heads of section delivered speeches, reflecting on their time in the CCF and highlighting their contingents’ activities over the past year, including museum visits, flying, shooting, and boat trips.
