We are Blacktown Army Cadet Unit and have a long history dating back to 1979. At this time the unit was originally formed in Shalvey High School. The Government of that day disbanded all school cadet units due to it being unfair to other youth who were not attending those schools. In 1981 we reformed at our current location in Blacktown.
We pride ourselves on being the largest community based cadet unit in our Battalion. We are also one of the largest in our Brigade. The youngest joining age is 12 turning 13 in the year of starting and you must leave at the end of the year that you turn 18.
