Cadet Routine Orders for Home Training – Friday, 1 March 2019
Dear Cadets, Recruits and Parents
- Attached are this week’s Routine Orders for Home Training for your action.
- Dress for this week is DPCU Field and all cadets in 2 & 3 Platoon are to be in Patrol Order (Webbing required).
- Recruits will be issued their second issue of uniforms this week and next week we will be issuing field equipment.
- If you cannot attend training this week then please book an appointment at the Q store or present yourself next Wednesday after school to collect your gear.
- Warning Order – On Friday 15 March we will have a guest speaker, Adam Holloway who is a Brisbane author. He has written a book about his great grandfather who was on Old Boy of Toowoomba Grammar School who joined the AIF in 1917. He will be presenting his book here at Cadets from 1600-1700h in the Hugh Rose Centre and parents are welcome to join us. For many new and old parents the school now has a Commemorative Website which honours TGS Old Boys that have paid the supreme sacrifice. You can access this by going to: TGS Old Boys Commemorative Website. With ANZAC day approaching and with the TGS school service commemorating First World War Old Boys, you may wish to look at the information on the Honour Roll.
- You are REMINDED that forms for the upcoming bivouac/camp for this term are due to be returned to myself either by email or by hand to the Orderly Room.
Thank you
Ma’am Hallam

Round 4 Cricket wrap TGS v TSS
Dear Cricket Community,
After a week of uncertain weather, it was a tough round of Cricket against The Southport School. Playing against TSS means an extremely early start for those playing away, and after a 2 hour plus bus ride, it’s quite often difficult to switch over to Cricket mode. This proved a challenge as the majority of games played were won by the team playing at their home venue.
