Congratulations Bronwyn Z, Year 11 | Cadets

History Club member Bronwyn Z from Year 11 attended the 2023 NSW Australian Army Cadet Brigade Promotion Courses from 1-8 July at Holsworthy Barracks. The course required Bronwyn to build upon her leadership skills and successfully completing the course enabled her to be promoted to the rank of Cadet Corporal. 

Bronwyn was  assessed throughout the entire week completing assessments including displaying leadership skills, leading a section on a navigation leg, teaching a lesson on first aid, delivering orders and the management of an observation post in a military environment.  Brownyn reflected,  ‘The course gave me a clearer understanding of who I am as a leader and helped me develop my own leadership style that I could use in my everyday life. I learnt that I don't have to demand my subordinates to follow my orders because I have seniority over them, however, to treat them with kindness and therefore they will be willing to follow me as their leader. A quote that was frequently used on the course was "As a leader, you should never ask someone to do something you wouldn't do yourself" meaning that as a good leader, you should exhibit compassion towards your team and show them respect by holding their values in high regard.’ 

Well done to Bronwyn!
