In addition to the above trophies and awards, which were presented on the Cadet Review Day, Members of the CCF also obtained many Service Cadetships (at least 53 from 1948-68), while prizes were also awarded to individuals for Good Service (those Cadets leaving school), and Meritorious Service.

Outside trophies, such as the McBrayne Centenary Trophy (a music trophy won by the band at least five years in succession), were also competed for on an annual basis

Although not strictly awards in the same way, HM Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme, Commando, Parachute, Flying, Gliding, PT, Signals and RAF Navigational courses were all available, bringing their own awards and badges, while outstanding achievements could also be rewarded by 'Star Camps' (an RAF Camp where a cadet lived in the Officers Mess, and enjoyed the luxuries of the station), and overseas Exchange visits.
