Icon for news item #137 **URGENT UPDATE** Change of Location this Weekend

New Recruit Induction Weekend (23-24th March)

 

Dear parents, new recruits and staff

Firstly our sincere apologies for the last minute change but due to unavoidable circumstances we are no longer able to stage our planned activities this weekend at Timor Barracks (Dundas) and have been forced to move location for both days to Marist College (the same location of our regular weekly parades).

In addition to this notification I have emailed all parents of new recruits (on email supplied during enrolment) with this same message and an updated copy of the handout for the weekend.

All timings and what to bring remain as per the original handout given (see email this afternoon for revised copy). The only thing we are changing is the actual location for each day. We will be at Marist both days.

Again we are sorry for having to make this change. It’s a very rare event that we change dates/location of our planned unit activities, especially last minute however this was out of our control.

Commencing Cycle-1/2017

As we mentioned on New Recruit Info Night, we have experienced very strong demand to join the unit this cycle. We would love to take everyone however, we have limited equipment available to issue. Available places will go first to new recruits who have both submitted completed Joining Documents as well as having paid the unit joining fee.

We appreciate your ongoing support and we will do everything we can to ensure the maximum number of new recruits can join the unit this cycle. We are continuing to chase up kit returns from ex-cadets who have recently left the unit and our success in that will open additional positions this intake. We will have a clearer idea over the next 2-3 weeks of the max. final numbers we can accept. We will advise the max. positions available this intake by no later than Thur 9th March.

At this stage we recommend all potential new recruits parade with the unit up until Tue 7th March to ensure that you don’t miss any training.

Posted on 02/09/2016

Despite our best efforts, a number of new recruits' forums accounts are reportedly inaccessible due to issues with provided password. Some of these have been rectified since Tuesday and if recruits were having difficulty logging in, here are some steps to take:

  1. Try your issued password again – some accounts were reset back to those passwords & manually tested
  2. Attempt a self-service password reset. Many recruits are using their parent's email address – so make sure to look in the parent's email inbox, or otherwise the recruit's own
  3. If neither of these work, please email staff@206acu.org.au to request a reset.

    Posted on 04/08/2014

    Dear parents,

    We will begin refunding the payments made for Unit Jerseys/Hoodies, beginning 05 Aug 2014. These will be delivered to your son/daughter in a marked envelope.

    Regrettably, unit members were unable to reach the 25 items minimum order, even though over 25 expressions of interest were received.

    Towards the end of the year we hope to restart a 2015 Jerseys drive, hopefully with better group participation.

    Parent queries please contact alan.yeung [at] 206acu.org.au

    Posted on 03/09/2014

    We regret to inform everyone that we are not able to proceed with the Bivouac this weekend (6-7th September) as we had hoped. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience.

    While its not the only reason we needed to postpone the Biv, given the expected very low temperatures, strong winds and rainfall predicted postponing is probably for the best anyway.

    We are proposing to reschedule the Bivouac for the weekend of 4-5th October. A revised permission note will be published once we have the revised date confirmed.

    As a result next Tue 9th September will be a full parade for the entire unit.

    If you are a new Recruit and go to Marist you will be aware that you need to complete 2hrs of Expo service before coming out to the New Recruit Induction Weekend. This previously meant that you couldnt leave with the rest of the unit on Sat morning and your parents would need to drive you all the way out to Banksmeadow after your 2hrs of Expo service was completed Sat am.

    As a result of a special arrangement with the Deputy Headmaster you can now complete your 2hrs Expo service on Friday afternoon. If you do that it means you can form up and leave with the rest of the unit on Sat and your parents will not need to drive you.

    Comd Team members who are at Marist are still required to complete their Expo service Sat am.
