Grade 10-12 students from Queechy recently had the unique opportunity to visit the Youngtown Army Barracks, where they gained valuable insights into the diverse roles and careers available within the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

The excursion, held on Monday 5th of May, allowed students to explore the many roles involved in the army, navy and air force. Students learned about various job roles, from logistics and engineering to medical and communications. The students were particularly interested in the opportunities to join the
Army Reserve, which offers flexible service options alongside civilian careers.

In addition to career exploration, the students discovered the benefits of being part of the ADF, including the ability to play sports at a competitive level and access to educational programs. Many were excited to learn that they could pursue university studies while serving in the army. Thanks to the ADF's support for further education of our students.
