One of the highlights of the cohesion camp held from 10-11 October is the trip to the National Museum of Singapore, located along Stamford Road. The group consists of sec 1s and sec 3s, accompanied by our teacher Mr Leong.

Excited chatters filled the entire bus as the lot of garbled on and on to pass time spent reaching the the NSM.

Time seems to come to a standstill, but, we finally REACHED! :D

We were amazed and overwhelmed by the wonderful and unique architecture and design of the museum building. The objective of the trip is to allow cadets to better understand the history of Singapore from settlements to nation-present.

Equipped with high tech headgear, we entered the "Glass Rotunda" which allows us to gain entry into the Singapore Heritage Gallery. There is no deny to the improvement of technology as the headgear provided provided us the information of each station in the gallery, practically, a WALKING TOURGUIDE! :D

Separated into different groups, we explored the various stations starting from the period of pre-1819 (founding of Singapore) to 1971.

I learnt the beginnings of Singapore as an ancient settlements in the 1300s and goes on exploring and tracing the coming of the British and understanding how our pioneering immigrant forefathers came here to build a town and port. It also traces the growth of Singapore and how events that happened outside the country has affected the island. One of the most important event that had happened is the Japanese Occupation, for which many life of our forefathers are affected.

I understood the determination of the people in struggling against all odds toward achieving independence and striving a nation :) Important characters such as Sir Stamford Raffles, William Farquar, Elizabeth Choy, David Marshall and Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

This trip is truly an unforgettable one, one that one should never miss, where it allows cadets to view various historical sources and evidences thus understand more about our
HIS-tory!
Remember, history is alive, exciting and interesting, it traces back to what our forefathers had come so far, to become what we are today!

"One people, One nation, One Singapore!"

Mei Ling! :D

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.
