CIP 2011

As part of developing VS NPCC cadets into youths that constantly serve the community & the nation, VS NPCC participated in an annual CIP event organised by YMCA, known as YMCA Flag Day.

During the Flag Day, VS NPCC cadets carried a tin with them, asking for donations from the public that goes towards YMCA. Despite the countless rejections by the passer-bys, our cadets still pressed on, knowing that there are people who would willingly donate.

Their determination paid off when they managed to fill up at least three quarters of the tin by the end of the CIP event.

I'm sure that despite the hardwork, the cadets attained a sense of achievement and fulfillment at the end of the day. VS NPCC will continue to participate in more CIP events to give back to the society as cadets.

Victoria School 135th Speech Day

This year, Victoria School celebrates its 135th Speech Day.

As part of tradition in Victoria School, a parade will be held to welcome the Guest-of-Honour. This year, VS NPCC is proud to be chosen as the Guard of Honour Contingent.

Being the GOH Contingent for the parade, the cadets had to chance to wear the No.1 Uniform, a truly unique experience for many of the cadets. Our cadets trained under the hot sun with countless combined rehearsals to ensure that they were prepared for the actual parade.

During the parade, their sweat paid off when our cadets managed to perform the drills with precision and executed them smartly.

Here are some photos taken during the parade:

We hope that all cadets that participated as part of the GOH contingent have learnt something valuable to them. Also, we would like to thank all cadets that were part of the GOH contingent for their dedication and hard work for without them, the parade would not have been a success.

Sec 1 Orientation Camp 2011

Every year, VSNPCC organises a Sec1 Orientation Camp to help allow the Sec 1 cadets integrate into the VS NPCC Family better.

During the camp, cadets learn to understand the basic discipline rules and the protocols that should be followed during every training. At the same times, games and activities are carried out to ensure that the Sec 1 cadets get to know one another and forge strong bonds between squad members.

Here are some photos taken during the camp:

We hope that the Sec1s had fun during the camp and got to know their fellow squadmates better throughout the simple 2D1N course.

We look forward to their involvement in future events and trainings in VSNPCC!

Sec1 Swearing In Ceremony 2011

This year, Victoria School NPCC is privileged to play host for the Swearing In of the newly inducted Secondary 1 Cadets in Area 11.

Despite this being a simple ceremony, it is an event of great significance as it marks the start of a Cadet's journey in NPCC. The event was led by VS NPCC's Station Inspector, Lee Jiang as he recited the NPCC Pledge and Swearing In Pledge to officiate the swearing in of the Sec 1 Cadets. The event was a great success and ended off with games & quizzes planned for the newly sworn in Cadets in Area 11.

Here are some photos we took during the event:

I am sure that all Sec1 cadets will find this a truly meaningful experience. We hope that they will enjoy their journey is NPCC!

NPCC Annual Parade 2011

The time of the year has come once again, where Victoria School NPCC Unit sends our cadets to participate in the NPCC Annual Parade (NPAP).

Our cadets have truly displayed the qualities of a VS NPCC Cadet, by ensuring that their drills are of high standards & precision and hence, securing a spot in the GOH Contingent after intricate selection by the Cadet Inspectors at NPCC HQ. 

Also, this event marks the achievement of VS NPCC as we are awarded our 11th consecutive gold award. VS NPCC has broke barriers and attained the gold award, once again. The tough trainings and stringent rules enforced by seniors, coupled with the determination and dedication of the cadets to the Unit has indeed paid off :) 

These are some photos taken during the parade:

With this, I hope that all VSNPCC Cadets will continue to strive and achieve, bringing Victoria School NPCC Unit to greater heights. We will definitely ensure that we maintain our standards and strive towards our 12th Gold!

Challenge Unlimited 2011

As part of our Victorian Tradition, VS NPCC Unit has once again held our annual games day, Challenge Unlimited during the March School Holidays.

The event was a huge success thanks to the hardwork & dedication from every VS NPCC Cadet. During the event, we managed to witness a strong sense of competitiveness among participants.

Here are some of the photos taken during the event:

Congratulations to the overall Girls Team Champion, CHIJ St Joseph Convent! 

Winner of 1st Placing for Boys Category, Raffles Institution! Congratulations to all winners :)

Victoria School NPCC Unit would like to extend our appreciation to NPCC Units of participating schools for their unwavering support. Without them, the event would not have been such a success. I'm sure our cadets and the participants have learnt something new through this experience. 

We hope to see everyone once again next year, during Challenge Unlimited 2012!

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.

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!

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

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:
