Australian Air League Riverwood Squadron

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (21:46):

:18 I commend the Australian Air League Riverwood Squadron for being named as Best Squadron in Field at the Australian Air League's State championships in September. The Riverwood squadron has been preparing tirelessly in the lead-up to the competition and placed first in numerous events such as Junior Section Drill, Flight Drill, Squadron Drill, Best Band and Best Drum Major. The Riverwood squadron offers its cadets the opportunity to undertake leadership development, learn teamwork and collaboration skills and take part in other community service activities. Squadron membership continues to grow and it provides a great chance for young people to make new friends while developing vital skills. I extend my congratulations to all members of the Riverwood squadron. The squadron has a fantastic presence in the local area and gets behind a lot of community events like Anzac Day ceremonies. I recognise in particular the commanding officer, Mr Chris Bailey, for his continued dedication to the squadron.
