Hi!

Dear cadets,

I understand that many of you are asking when CCA will resume, please continue to wait for further updates. Meanwhile, you can do some revision of your campcraft knots and lashings at home... remember, promotion tests will be carried out in oct!

Passing Out Parade for the graduating cadets will either be carried out on 18th July or 25th July. Both are saturdays. We will keep you updated when the date will be until we get clearance to resume CCA.

One good news to share! Ashley Yap (4LV) has done excellently well during the National .22 Shooting Competition to come in as one of the top 10 shooters among 626 female shooters during the preliminary rounds! She will be competiting in the Finals next Tuesday. Please wish her all the best!

In addition, as many of you would know, I will be stepping down as OC Unit and my last day of work will be next Friday (17th July). Mr Lee will be stepping up as the OC Unit and Mr Romzee as the unit adjutant. Ms Jasline Pan will be joined by another teacher officer, Ms Faye Tan who will also be the co-teacher in charge of the Sec 1 squad. Please give her a warm welcome when you see her.

It's been great working with the CIs and NCOs to run this UG for all of you. I will miss every single one of you very much. Please continue to strive for excellence and serve the unit with pride. I wish you all the best in whatever you do. I hope to hear wonderful updates about our unit's achievements when I am in Japan. All of you will be in my prayers.

God Bless,
Ms Yip

CIP - Chen Su Lan Methodist Children's Home

Our unit will be organising an outing to the Zoo for 35 children from Chen Su Lan Methodist Children's Home this coming Sunday (11th Jan) from 1pm to 5.30pm.

We will like to encourage at least 10 volunteers to accompany the children as group leaders as they particpate in a programme planned by students from Ngee Ann Polytechnic. CIP hours will be awarded to all group facilitators. You will have to pay for your own entrance fee (S$9) into the zoo.

If you are unable to accompany the children but will still like to help out in the event, you can help by sponsoring the child's entrance fee into the zoo which is S$9. Our unit will be subsidising the transport costs.

Please sign up on the form put up on the unit notice board to indicate if you want to accompany the children and / or subsidise a child's entrance fee into the zoo. (Is anyone holding on to the form that I passed around last Friday?) Please sign up again as I did not get back the form from last week's parade.

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

You will be given CIP hours based on how long the event takes. Usually you will end by 6pm so you will get 4 hours of CIP.

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.
