Getting young people involved!

The Cadet division is for young people from primary school to secondary school (age 7—18 years old).

Cadets not only learn to be good First Aiders but they also go through personal development in leadership, team building, independence and discipline.  They meet once a week to develop their skills and have fun.

If you or your child would like to sign up for our Cadet programme email stjohn@stjohn.org.pg for more details.
