Dear all,2008 had been a fruitful and meaningful year for our unit! In the
Inter-Unit Biennial Campcraft Competition
, both our boys’ and girls’teams performed well and managed to obtain 22
nd
and 9
th
positionsrespectively. This was the first time that one of our teams actually made itinto the top 10! And, in the
Inter-Unit Annual .22” Revolver Shooting Competition
, our boys’ and girls’ teams also did well. They came in 18
th
and 11
th
positions respectively. Our area (Area 2) also clinched the 2
nd
position in the
Inter-Area Biennial Project-Based Competition
. This wasthe best result that our area had ever since this competition started!8 of our graduating cadets were also awarded the SPF-NPCC badge in 2008, for their outstanding leadership and contribution towards NPCC. The SPF-NPCC badge is the most prestigious award that a cadetcan receive. This pinnacle award is only awarded to the top 2% of thegraduating cohort in NPCC each year. This is the first time that we haveso many cadets receiving the SPF-NPCC badge!I would also like to congratulate
LCP Ho Wei Er
,
CPL Siti Amirah Bte Osman
and
SSG Ong Kong Ming
on being awarded the BestSquad Cadets for 2008 in their respective squads. They were exemplary inmost aspects.On behalf of our unit, I would also like to bid farewell and thank our unit’s 7
th
batch NPCC cadets for their dedication and commitmenttowards our unit. They have contributed tremendously to help bring our unit to where we are now.At the same time, I would also like to welcome 2 new CIs,
P/CI Matthias Goh Boon Yong
and
P/CI Clifford Tan Junming
, and a newteacher officer,
INSP Prasana D/O Sankarapillai
, to our big family.Lastly, though the result for
Unit Overall Proficiency Award
(UOPA) 2008 is not out yet, I believe our unit should be able to maintainour excellent result in 2007 (GOLD award). We may be a young unit (10years old) but we are definitely capable of achieving our GOAL! So, letus continue to work together to bring glory to our unit and our school!

NPCC: My New Pride & Passion
On 9 January afternoon, the Sec 1s had our CCA Orientation, where all the Sec 1 students would get a chance toknow more about all the CCAs that are offered in OPSS. It is a day where all the CCAs will have the opportunity torecruit more members into their CCAs.The event started off with a talk by Mr Sim, HOD PE/CCA, in the hall on the secondary school LEAPS systemand the CCAs offered in OPSS. After that, we were ushered to the corridors on the 2
nd
storey, surrounding the paradesquare, where we watched the performances prepared by various Uniformed Groups, Performing Arts and Sports. Wewere quite impressed with the performances. One that especially caught my attention was the fancy drill performance bythe National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC).When I saw NPCC cadets running out of the NPCC room, each carrying a rifle, for the performance, my firstthought was, “Huh?” Not because I have never seen a NPCC cadet before, but it is just that I have never seen peopledoing rifle drill with music. It was a refreshing and impressive performance. I have always thought that uniform groupsare very serious and strict. But after watching the performances by them, I realised that I was terribly WRONG!We then visited the booths set up by the various CCAs to find out more about them. After visiting the booths, afeeling told me to join one of the two uniform groups: NPCC and NCC (Sea).After considering for a long time, I finally decided to join NPCC. There seemed to be some unknown “force”that pulled me to NPCC. When I handed up my CCA option form, somehow I knew that I will not quit or regret.The first few weeks of training were much better than I expected! In fact, it was actually quite FUN! I havealways thought that uniform group was tiring, strict, no nonsense and the student leaders are very fierce, but I was totallyWRONG!It is absolutely wonderful! The NCOs are great and friendly, and the lessons are fun. I also learnt a lot from NPCC. After these few months in NPCC, I realised that I am more responsible than before and I look forward to thetraining every week. Most of all, I am surprised that everyone in NPCC treats each other like family!I really do not regret choosing NPCC as my CCA. It is indeed my
PRIDE & PASSION
