Kinross College Rangers
Kinross Police Rangers is a great opportunity for students in Years 8-12 to learn leadership skills,
forge friendships and build respect and discipline. As the Rangers program is under the banner of
Cadets WA, students are able to participate in the program at a heavily subsidised cost.
The Kinross Police Rangers Unit is the current State Champion. Our teams came 1st and 3rd
in the State competition last year, winning every element (between the two teams), of the three
daycompetition. The Rangers, representing Kinross College, were from Years 8-11, ranging in ranks
from Probationary Ranger, Ranger, Ranger First Class, Ranger Senior to Ranger Sergeant. These
Rangers are now sharing skills they learned with all Rangers in the unit, through leadership activities.
Parade takes place every Monday throughout term from 3.30pm - 5.00pm. At this time the
Rangers participate in a plethora of fun, skill building activities, both practical and theory-based.
These include drill, camp skills, camp cooking, knotting, circuit training, policing, first aid, surfing,
kayaking, bike education, community service and team building skills. All units covered enable
students to develop necessary skills that will be utilised throughout the camps that take place every
term, as well as the drill competitions, Anzac Parade, State competitions and camp programs.
The camp locations and activities range from Lancelin to Rottnest, with water-based activities in
summer, rock climbing and rope courses and lastly, hikes along the Bibbulmun Track and Cape to Cape
trail. Camps range from two to four days and take place over the weekends as well as school days.
Rangers are rewarded for excelling in a range of areas. They move through the ranks throughout
their time in the unit, by passing the elements required, demonstrating team work and leadership
skills. All Rangers graduate at the end of the year, to the next rank, in a formal ceremony.
Rangers follow a Code of Conduct where they must pledge the Ranger Oath, declaring their
respect, enthusiastic and appropriate behaviour. Overall, students involved in the Police Rangers
develop skills that have a positive impact on their schooling, as well as their social development.

These are always fantastic days where community morale is high and student behaviour and participation is outstanding. As well as our school carnivals, students have a great range of opportunities to be involved in inter-school sports and events within both the Junior and Senior school.
