Passing-Out-Parade cum 50th CL Committee Investiture 2013

LET'S DO A #THROWBACK TO 7th JUNE 2013!

Thank you to all our ex-CLs for your guidance and patience the past one year! We had indeed gained valuable skills and knowledge from all of you; and every single one of you have been an inspiring role model that we strive to emulate. We would not be able to be where we are today if not for all your guidance, talks, encouragements, debriefs and punishments. Thank you for all the great times we've spent together as a unit, and may everyone achieve stellar results for your O's! :) On behalf of the 50th CL committee, we promise to continue upholding the standards of our unit, and do our best to impart all the necessary skills and knowledge to our juniors. 

Here's to wishing you great success in your future endeavours! :D

Let the pictures do the talking... :)

Inter-Unit Drill Competition 2013

       3rd August 2013; the day the Inter-Unit Drill Competition was held.

       The NPCC Inter-Unit Drill Competition is an annual competition organised by NPCC HQ, aimed to assess cadets' proficiency in drills. Weeks before the competition, intensive trainings were conducted for the team consisting of both CLs and cadets. The trainings saw cadets putting in their best effort learning the drills, especially the few Sec 2 cadets who were new to baton and arm drills. Despite rigorous trainings, the drill team persevered and tried to perfect their drills in the shortest time possible.

       The competition day soon drew closer and nervousness was definitely slowly creeping up on the drill team. However, the pursuit of excellence grew stronger for each passing training as the team felt more confident in executing the drills.

       Not only did the competition help to forge memories and new experiences, it has also inculcated values like teamwork, trust, discipline and confidence in the drill team, as well as the opportunity for them to bond as one.

From our dear chairperson, Gene:

"To me, drill competition wasn't just a competition where we compete with other schools

 to get into the finals. It was more on teamwork and cooperation. It also strengthened

our senior and junior bonds as we trained hard together for a long period of time.

On the day of the competition, we sat on the bus towards HomeTeam Academy

feeling anxious but excited. Not long after reaching HomeTeam

Academy, we had to get ready to go onto the competition

ground. With a last cheer for the whole squad,

the team marched out,

confidently." 

GREAT JOB GUYS :)

Inter-Unit Quiz Competition 2013

       Held on the 16th August 2013, 10 of our CLs participated in the NPCC Inter-Unit Quiz Competition organised by NPCC HQ. The NPCC Inter-Unit Quiz Competition is a biennial event, aimed to cultivate the quest for knowledge among NPCC cadets. 

       Before the competition, the CLs were separated into 2 teams, comprising of five people each. We did not really know what to expect from the competition. Research on different topics such as NPCC Knowledge, NPCC history, organisation and structure, Singapore Police Force History as well as current affairs of Singapore were carried out. We delegated our work and compiled all our research on Google Docs and the information was shared readily amongst everyone :D 

       On the competition day itself, we proceeded to Home Team Academy for the Preliminary Round and sat for a written paper. As we stepped foot into the competition venue and witnessed many cadets from other units reading through their materials intensely, we were a bundle of nerves when we entered the competition hall, however, little did we expect the atmosphere to be light and jovial! Answers were discussed amidst laughters; jokes were made and camaraderie was developed among teammates :)

       Although both teams failed to enter the Finals, valuable lessons were taken away from the competition. Besides acquainting ourselves with many interesting trivia about NPCC, SPF, Singapore and current affairs, we also learnt life skills such as time management, teamwork, responsibility, communication and the ability to tackle complex questions whilst learning to share and accept diverse perspectives of others. Challenging our assumptions was also one of the keys to unlocking different views and opinions we had about the questions in the written paper. 

       I believe the CLs had truckloads of fun during the competition and it was en enriching learning experience for all of us! :D

Back from HTA!
