There will be an extra training conducted this Thursday in view of your upcoming promotion test. This proposed training will be canceled if the squad attendance fall below 12.

The reason why a training will not be conducted if the attendance fall below 12 is because of the following reasons.

• The training will not be productive due to the limited number of people.
• In the long run, it will not be healthy for the squad as a whole because there will be a distinct difference in standards.

That's the reason why everyone of you will play a big part in the whole squad learning and improvement.

Please refer to the details below.

Date: 20th November 2008 (Thursday)
Time: 0200pm - 0600pm

For Muslim students, you can either go to East Coast Park on your own or ask to be excused from this event. Please see me for clarifications.

Thanks.

National Day Celebrations CIP

Those of you down for CIP, please listen out for announcements in the morning.

All cadets are to report in Unit Tee and shorts or school pants/skirt. Mr Chan had wanted you all to wear full uniform or half uniform but I think that in case if it is a hot day, it's better for you all to wear shorts.

Some of you who will like to wear red and white in the morning to school. That is fine, but you must get changed into unit tee to report for duty for easy identification.

Thanks.

National Day Celebrations CIP and Kayaking Forms

To all cadets who are interested in doing CIP on National Day, please sign up on the notice board asap. We have 20 places available. If more of you are keen, just write down your name and I will inform Mr Chan.

All cadets who have signed up that you are interested in the 1 star Kayaking course, please submit your forms! To date, I only received one from Hareshpal. Please note that I have discussed with the other teachers and we will allocate the vaccancies based on 1st come 1st served basis. Whoever hands in first will get a confirmed slot to attend the course. This is because there are only 40 places open and the other cadets from other UGs have been submitting in their forms on the deadline as stated on the letter. If you have lost the letters, please collect a copy from my pigeon hole asap!

Sec 2 Shoot and Kunming Trip

1. Sec 2 .22 Revolver Shooting

Please be reminded that you can leave your class at 1.30pm tomorrow (5th August), I have already informed your teachers.

Change and have your lunch. The bus will leave at 2.15pm.

Meet Mr Lee outside the General Office in your Full Uniform. I will ask your CI Chester to open the NPCC room for you to store your bags. You can collect your bags when you come back to school. HO Desmond will also be accompanying you all to HTA. Good luck and have fun!

2. Kunming Trip

All cadets who are interested in the Kunming trip, please sign up for an interview slot on our notice board! As I have mentioned many times, $ shouldn't stop you from going. As long as you are keen, we can help to solve any financial issues you have. Out of the 18 slots left, 10 has been reserved for NPCC cadets only.

The 10 of you will help our unit to have a higher chance to get Gold because it is one of the criteria inside the grading by HQ. A unit that sends at least 10 cadets to a country out out of Southeast Asia will score higher marks. Thus, we need maximum participation from all of you.

Please check the notice board for more details and encourage your friends to sign up.

Thank you.

Cheers to ATC participants!

To all cadets who participated in the ATC,

I hope that it was an enriching experience for all of you and that you have made new friends and grown closer to your own squad mates. Despite the "downs" during the camps, I hope that you will learn from mistakes made and bask in the glow of the "ups" you have experienced during the camp. You have gone through a camp which can only be experienced by an npcc cadet in area 4 and I hope that you will treasure the experience. It is not often you have the chance to be at this campsite which was built specially for cadets of npcc only.

By going through all the activities (with so few of you in the medic room), we are proud of you. Keep up the spirit and continue to do our unit proud. All of you deserve your ATC/Survival badges.

Cheers,
Ms Yip

Attendence for NPCC Courses

Attn: All cadets

As mentioned before school closed and also in the letters that were issued to all of you, if you are unable to attend any of the NPCC HQ courses during the June holidays, you have to inform the Teacher Officers BEFORE the course.

This should also be the case for any courses during the school term.

The reasons for this arrangement is because:

1. NPCC HQ provides lunch for full day courses and a namelist is submitted to HQ 2 weeks before the course starts. If you did not inform any of the Teacher Officers, you are assumed to be able to attend and your name is included in the name list and lunch is booked for you. When you do not attend, these lunch boxes are really, a waste of food and NPCC HQ's money.

2. In addition, our unit get penalised in the UOPA (the assessment that is done to determine if a unit is Bronze, Silver or Gold) for attendence less than 80% stated in the submitted namelist.

3. Booking of different sizes of buses to the course venues depends on the number of participants and the money is paid from the unit fund. When a big bus meant for 30 ppl is booked and only 10 ppl turns up, we are wasting our own unit fund which could have been used for organising enrichment activities for all of you.

4. Some of the courses are only organised once a year. Once you missed it, you can only take it one year later.

5. Some of the courses get you the Proficency Badges that are pre-requsities for certain ranks. Eg. Road Safety Badge is compulsory for a cadet to be promoted to a LCP. Without this badge, even if you pass your drill promotion test, you will be a probationary LCP as you have not fulfilled the NPCC HQ's promotion criteria.

In summary, it is peferctly understandable if you are sick or have other valid reasons that you cannot attend the course. However, we will really appreciate if you inform the Teacher Officers personally before a course commences if you are unable to attend.

The following cadets were absent from the June courses without any valid reasons. Please see me personally to explain why you did not turn up for the courses by next Tuesday (24/6/08). For Road Safety course, you can only take it next year. For SANA course, there are courses in Sept and Dec. However, I will only make arrangements for you to attend the courses if your reasons for absence is valid.

Urgent Annoucements

The Catholic High School organizes the City Venture competition annually. This year, it will be held on this coming Sat, from 9am to 5pm.

Our school has been taking part every year and for the past 2 years, we've been in the Top 5 postitions. Usually, we send in senior cadets or NCOs for this competition. However, this year, many of them are involved in either Annual Parade, Campcraft Competition Finals or Everland Production.

Thus, I am appealing for any group of five Sec 1 and above cadets to sign up for this competition to represent our school.

This exciting competition requires participants to plan and to travel to checkpoints spread all over the island by means of public transport. If you are keen to get CCA points for participation in a competition and get the chance to travel around Singapore with your friends, sign up for it by tommorrow! The form will be pasted on the NPCC notice board or see me personally to sign up.

The entire unit is encouraged to go down to support our campcraft team if you are free this sat.

Good News!!!

Dear NPCC family,

I am happy to share with you that our NPCC campcraft teams have done very well during the Preliminary Rounds!

The boys team have emerged Top 10 out of 160+ school teams in Singapore and have qualified for the Finals which will be held in Home Team Academy on 5th April 2008 (Sat) from 8.00am to 11.00am. The girls team emerged 53th placing out of 140+ schools. This is a big improvement as compared to 2006 when the boys team got 65th placing and girls team got 87th placing.

All officers (TOs, HOs, CIs) are VERY proud of both teams who are a testimony of how hard work and focus breeds success. I hope that all of you can continue to strive for the best in all activities, be it NPCC or school work to do the unit and school proud. Every single one of you have a important role to play, to help bring up our unit by trying your very best in everything you do.

I will like to sincerely thank the HOs, CIs, campcraft team, supporters, well-wishers and everyone who has helped, in one way or another for these 4 months of training!

Thanks a million,
