Cadet Platoon

Today our Cadets attended the opening ceremony of the New Cadet Training Camo in Mullaitivu. It was the first time they were in Cadet Uniform.

During the ceremony we were handed the License to establish a Defense , enlist studetns as Cadets and train them.

The National Cadet Corps was established in Srilanka in the year 1881.  to train and inspire cadets using effective training curriculum, so that each cadet shall develop character, courage, sportsmanship, self-reliance, discipline, and civil mindedness, spirit of adventure, responsibility and comradeship to be a human resource of well-trained youth, capable of providing leadership in all aspects of life. As such it is important to realise that establishing such a platoon does not indicate an attempt to militarise the students, and parents have given their permission in writing. Cadet Plattons exist in at 13 schools in the Northern Province and activities are endorsed by the Minstry of Education.

Our Cadets belong to the 20th Battalion.
