From the Rex FAQ's:
http://rex.com.au/cadetpilot/cadet_faq.pdf
The first phase of the Programme up to the PPL stage is the probationary period. Cadets who are deemed unsuitable during or at the conclusion of the probationary period, at Rex's sole discretion, will be asked to leave the Programme.
Yep, they can, technically, kick you out of the program with no explanation. However they aren't actually going to kick you out unless you give them a reason. Maybe you consistently show up late for classes. Maybe you show you have an arrogant attitude. Maybe you show a tendency to break the rules.
They'll be monitoring your performance throughout the course and if they see attitudes or behaviours you consistently display but are unwilling to change which they realise will make you unsuitable to be a pilot with them they'll have reason to kick you out. Basically the cadetship is a very long job interview
It's up to you to put the work in and accept any honest feedback or constructive criticism about your behaviour if you want to pass the course.
