Educational & Cultural trip to Taiwan

2010-08-25T19:16:00.002+08:00

Dear Cadets & Parents,

We are in the midst of evaluating the vendors who have actually quoted us for the above trip but I would like to prepare those of you who are keen that the cost of the trip is around $1600.

Kindly discuss with your parents if you can come along with us.

Date: 6 - 10 Dec 2010

For your information, it costs around $1600 as we are flying with SQ, and the air ticket would already cost about $1111.50. Other airline is not much cheaper, e.g. with China Airlines, the price quoted is only about $100 lesser.

So cadets whose parents who have yet had plans for you this Dec 2010, do consider coming along. There will not be drills for sure. ;)

We look forward to your keen interest and kindly inform us asap (by next friday) so that we will not miss giving out the information to.

Thank you.

P.S. Needy cadets who are keen, pls approach Mr Koh or Ms Audrey Tan to find out what forms of subsidy there may be eligible for you to apply for.

NPCC Cultural & Educational Trip to Taiwan Dec 2010

2010-08-12T19:25:00.007+08:00

Dear Cadets & Parents,

To fulfil some of the training areas highlighted by NPCC HQ, in particular, personal development and leadership, Anderson NPCC unit is organising a short but fulfiling Cultural & Educational Trip to Taiwan in Dec 2010. This is also in line with our school strategic theme - to create a dynamic curriculum that supports the holistic development of students.

The tentative travel plans we have is around 6 - 12 Dec 2010 and it should be a 5D4N trip (so that we can be more prudent with the trip expenses necessary). As we are in the means of getting quotations for travel agencies to support us in this trip, so do hear more from us by Term 3 Week 9.

We do understand that Taiwan may be a Chinese city and this may not interest non-chinese students especially. However, we would still like to encourage all of you to join us to find out more about Taiwan as this will not be a trip that you will ever set off on your own. 2 years ago, a team of our teachers brought a group of 30 students to Taiwan and they surely have enjoyed themselves and have learnt a lot from it.

So we look forward to your interest in coming along with us this Dec 2010.

Anderson Sec NPCC Unit.

Sec 2 & 3 NPCC Muslim Cadets for ATC/STC

2010-05-31T22:14:00.003+08:00

Dear Sec 2 & 3 Muslim cadets,

As you have friday prayers to attend as usual this week, special arrangements have been planned for you.

It is advised that you attend friday prayers at a mosque nearer to Changi Jetty like Pasir Ris and Tampines. (All muslim boys in Area 6 schools are encouraged to do this.) This is to ensure that there is sufficient time for you to get to Changi Jetty immediately after your Friday prayers. You are required to reach Changi jetty at 2:30pm.

Thus pls arrange with your Sec 3 NCO e.g. Naveen Sir to go attend friday prayers together and then head to Changi Jetty so that you will be safer in a group. A teacher from Monfort Sec and some Muslim CIs will meet you there and bring all of you to the campsite.

I hope this arrangement is a good one for you.

End of Year Overseas Expedition

2010-05-07T19:31:00.004+08:00

Dear All,

In alignment with the school's strategic thrust, which is to allow Andersonians to be developed more holistically in this globalized environment, we are planning for an overseas trip during the December holidays at the end of this year.

We are tentatively looking at Taiwan. If anyone of you have any other countries in mind, you may want to provide us with your inputs, subjected to the following conditions:

Non-Asean Countries (if you aren't sure which are the Asean countries, please do a google check.)
Not too pricey, as there is only a certain amount that the school can subsidize, subjected to your family income per month.

As this overseas expedition will be greatly beneficial to you as it is going to widen your horizons, we encourage you to sign up for it. To ensure that you can be placed on the list of consideration, you may want to consider the following from now on:

Excellent CCA attendance
Enthusiastic participation in all NPCC activities
Excellent academic results and/or value-add in your academic results

Should you have any questions, please feel free to approach any of the TOs.

Thank you!

Till then, continue to mug hard!!!

Regards,

Mr Dennis Koh

Dear Sec 2 & 3 Cadets,

Together with the other 8 uniformed groups, NPCC will be forming 2 Guard-of-Honour Contingents and 1 supporting contingent. As this is a massive and virant combined youth event that will see the collaboration and participation of youths from the other 8 uniformed groups, it will be a great opportunity for our NPCC cadets to be part of this parade.

Most training sessions have been scheduled on Wed & Fri. Based on the proposed schedule, the first training session for NPCC cadets will start on Friday 14 May. As majority of the trainings will take place during the school holidays, cadets must ensure that they are not travelling overseas during that period of time.

All participants will need to report to HTA on their own. For the trainings at Singapore Indoor Stadium (SIS), transport will be provided from HTA to SIS. Nearer the date, a letter from CCAB will be sent to inform schools to release the cadets for the rehearsals during the first week of Term 3 for the on site rehearsals.

To be nominated, the requirements are:-
1. All nominated cadets must meet the height requirement of between 1.60m to 1.70m.
2. GOH Contingents - Sec 3 cadets only - Min Rank of Corporal (SGT preferred) - Considerably good drill proficiency

Hurray & Accomplishments!

2010-03-19T18:52:00.006+08:00

Congras to all campers as all of you have just completed your first camp for 2010 with NPCC.

Of course, to our newbies (the Sec 1s), don't be deluded yet as NPCC is not all the time so "physical challenging". For you this is the only camp this year as you equip yourself further with all the basic skills required of a true NPCC cadet. However if you like camps, the Sec 2 and 3 Adventure camp at Ubin await for you. And to those who have just missed it, it just too bad for u in 2010.

Furthermore, we are hopeful that the new batch of Sec 3 has learnt more about your future roles in NPCC. So we will look forward to your succession real soon!

And to the Sec 4s, hope that all of you have had a fulfiling and memorable time at the camp.

Finally, on behalf of all the TOs, we would like to thank our HI/CIs, Junbin, Weihao and Haswani who have specially taken time off to be with us at 2010 unit camp. Of course and not forgeting our ex-NCOs who have either rendered your help at the camp or even trying to pop by to support your fellow juniors. Thank you seniors!

Camp's now over! Everyone shall rest well and try to complete your holiday homework. Cheers!

Mr Koh

Dear Cadets,

The preliminary campcraft competition for 2010 has just ended on the 27th Feb 2010. The results of all participating units are released last week.

Though it was not a terrific set of results Anderson Sec has ever have, both teams have put up a great fight and overcome the challenges that we have set for ourselves. Mr Sim, HO Junbin and myself would agree with that too. So good job done to both teams. We look forward to the teams in the campcraft competition again in 2012 to be led by 2010 Sec 2!

I would like to take this opportunity and platform to thank all participating cadets and supporters during the 2 Sat afternoons. Also not forgetting especially HO Junbin who has effortlessly trained both teams and Mr Sim for their guidance and support for the unit!
