Adventure Training & Survival Training Camp 2010

During the June holidays, VSNPCC's Sec 2 & 3 cadets went for the annual Adventure Training Camp and Survival Training Camp respectively. Together with Area 11, our school went to NPCC's Camp Resilience campsite at Pulau Ubin

During the camp, we tried out many different activities such as outdoor cooking, orienteering, high ropes elements and jetty jump! These activities have trained us to be a better person and of course, to be more resilient.

Here are some photos that were taken during the camp:


Our cadets as they were waiting to proceed to the campsite.


Sec 2s playing Team Bonding Games. In this game, they have to trust each other and communicate effectively to ensure that no one falls off.


A close up shot of the campers playing the games.

Debriefing sessions at the end of everyday. Here, campers are asked to share their thoughts about the camp and reflect on what they have learnt.


ATC/STC 2010 was definitely a unforgettable experience for me and for all the other cadets who went. Strong friendships have been forged and i'm sure that we will never forget them.

With this, i wish everyone a pleasant experience at ATC/STC 2011!

Sec 1 Swearing In Ceremony

Hi all,

Every year, VSNPCC recruits new cadets and like everyone other school, these cadets have to go through the Sec 1 Swearing In ceremony. VSNPCC had our Sec 1 cadets sworn in together with the schools from Area 11 at St. Patricks School

Here are some of the photos we took!

In time to come, VSNPCC will groom these cadets to become better leaders of the future and I'm sure we will be able to do it! (:

School Twinning Programme with Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien College (SOASC), Negara Brunei Darussalam

School Twinning Programme with Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien College (SOASC), Negara Brunei Darussalam

During March 2010, Victoria School had a school twinning programme with SOASC, Negara Brunei Darussalam. During the exchange, students from Brunei came down to Victoria School as we gave them a warm welcome.

While they were here, we brought them around Singapore and at the same time, we taught them some of the drills and common practices that we do at VSNPCC.
Here are some pictures that were taken:


Our SI, Zul, teaching them how to tie a bowline on the campcraft tents

Darius teaching them how to tie a round lash

Formal group photo of everyone at our school foyer

Us at the Merlion statue near Singapore River

Demonstration & trying out of rifle drills, something which they do not experience in Brunei

It was definitely a pleasurable experience and it was an honour that we were able to play hosts to them. Hopefully we will be able to carry on this exchange programme so every batch can experience this unique experience & at the same time, forge strong friendships with the overseas students!

NPAP 2010

NPCC Annual Parade 2010 marks a very important milestone for Victoria School NPCC unit as we celebrate our 10 years gold. Having come so far was not easy as our cadets faced many setbacks and challenges along the way. However, we have fought hard, worked hard & also played hard. Hence, we are able to clinch this award today.

Victoria School NPCC unit sent 6 of our cadets to participate in the annual NPAP. These 6 cadets have trained hard and proved themselves to be of high calibre, which is why they were chosen to be part of the Guard Of Honour Contingent.

Here are the pictures we took at the actual parade:

Victoria School NPCC has come thus far and we will always strive to do better. NIL SINE LABORE, nothing with labour. We will definitely put in more effort to ensure future successes!

Challenge Unlimited Games Day 2010

Hi all,

Victoria School NPCC Unit held its annual Challenge Unlimited Games Day during the March break this year. After all the intensive planning and dry runs, we heaved a sigh of relief when all turned out well during the actual event.

It has always been a tradition for VSNPCC to invite other units to participate in this Games Day every year & 2010 was not an exception.

Here are some of the photos takes by us during the event itself!
