On 6th July 2013, our school hosted the Area 11 Games Day, in conjunction with the Secondary One Swearing-In Ceremony. The event was graced by Area 11 Assistant Commandant A/DSP (NPCC) Choo Yong Guan.
The morning kicked off with the Secondary One Swearing-In Ceremony, where the Sec 1 cadets were introduced to the history as well as vision and mission of NPCC, and most importantly, they were officially sworn-in as members of the National Police Cadet Corps. With pride and conviction, Sec 1 cadets from the six Area 11 schools recited the Swearing-In Pledge and NPCC Pledge. These schools include Broadrick Secondary School, Chung Cheng High School (Main), St. Patrick's School, Tanjong Katong Girls' School, Tanjong Katong Secondary School and Victoria School.
We sincerely wish all Secondary One cadets the very best in their next 4 years in NPCC! :)

After the Swearing-In Ceremony, the long awaited Area 11 Games Day finally commenced! :D Besides the 6 schools from Area 11, Maris Stella High School and Presbyterian High School also joined us and participated in the games.
Each individual school came up with a game and there were 5 game stations in total, mainly 'Shuttle Challenge' organised by Broadrick Secondary, 'Dodgeball' organised by St. Patrick's School, 'Balancing Act' organised by Tanjong Katong Girls' School, 'Circuit Race' organised by Tanjong Katong Secondary School and lastly, 'Standing as One' organised by our school. :D

As all the games were held at the school hall, excitement and enthusiasm was bubbling throughout the whole event. Camaraderie among the Sec 1 cadets were observed as teams of 5 work together, in the hope of clinching the overall champion. Effort was definitely put in and teamwork was incorporated in the pursuit of excellence.

The officers were also enjoying themselves as they went round game stations trying out the different games, and one particular game was extremely invigorating for everyone - Dodgeball. :D The game was especially exhilarating as the officers challenged the five Sec 1 cadets from Team Chung Cheng. Players hit by the ball would be out of the game, and those 'surviving' ones on court would be able to revive a 'dead' teammate if he/she was able to catch the opponent's ball.

The determination, teamwork and laughter were evident on our dear Sec 1 cadets' faces. The event ended off on a really high note as teams cheered for one another when the results of the games were announced. As the 2nd Overall IC for the event, it felt really heartening to see the genuine smiles from the cadets. :)
