Kayaking 1 Star

(Enrichment Module)






As a team, we carried the kayaks and paddles from the storage area and lined them up on the ground before carrying them over into the Kallang River. Everyone helped out to carry the kayaks.


After a final safety briefing, we went into the river in groups to do our PFD buoyancy test.


The instructor showed us step by step how to do the capsize drill and how to remove the water from inside of the kayak. After that, we all took turns to practise our capsizing in the kayak.


The instructor taught us how to use the paddle. We learnt the basic forward and backward strokes. We then moved out into the river and practised these strokes. 


We also learnt the draw, forward sweep and reverse sweep strokes when we were in the water. 


We had a quick debrief session with the instructor before we changed out of our wet sandy attire. 


Time to head back home and rest. It was tiring but a fantastic learning experience! 
Looking forward to the kayaking expedition tomorrow where we will put to test all the different strokes and the capsize drill. 

We arrived at the Kallang River early in the morning. Firstly, we were taught the names of the different parts of the kayak - the bow (front), stern (rear), deck, hull, cockpit, seat, grab handle & foot braces. The instructor also explained to us the difference between a life jacket and a Personal Flotation Device (PFD). We were taught how to wear and tighten the PFD correctly. Lastly, we watched a capsize drill video.

More about us

Our NPCC unit is currently run with the support of 2 Cadet Inspectors, Shoorya Prakash and Tiv Samnang. Both of them have played vital roles in the training and development of cadets in QSS and in Area 15.

Last year we also achieved the coveted Gold Award for the Unit Overall Proficiency Award (UOPA). To develop leadership qualities, desirable values and attitudes, our cadets were involved in many different HQ activities and camps. Selected cadets also represented the school at the NPCC Day Parade, Singapore Youth Festival and National Day Parade.

Our Cadets also attended various camps conducted by the school and the NPCC HQ during the March and June holidays. They honed their leadership skills and also learned to work better as a team and collectively as a Unit. This was an opportunity for our cadets to mix with their peers from other schools. Through this, they were able to pick up new ideas and foster friendships with other NPCC units within the area. To further build a stronger bond among the cadets, 46 NPCC cadets and 5 teachers had their 2D1N team building programme in Afamosa, West Malaysia.

Our NPCC unit will continue to strive hard for better results and in the process nurture our cadets to be caring and responsible citizens.
