Guangyang Secondary National Cadet Corp (Land/Central) has achieved a Bronze Award in 2007 during the annual Best Unit Competition. This is an event conducted by HQ and competed by all secondary schools in Singapore that belong to the big NCC family.

Some facts about National Cadet Corps…

National Cadet Corps (NCC) is a co-curricular activity that aims to complement the academic education of our cadets by providing them with appropriate practical training in the discipline and skills of the defence services of Singapore. The trainings also sought to enhance the physical and mental capabilities of our cadets so as to develop their resourcefulness, resilience and loyalty to our country.

The NCC Land is divided into districts East, West and Central. Guangyang Secondary School NCC Land (Boy) is under the Central District.

The four years of the life of an NCC cadet will be an enriching experience that cannot be possibly be gleaned from the pages of any book. It is a totally hands on immersion for every cadet to have and ultimately meet the training objectives of:

• Fostering capable, disciplined and dedicated leaders
• Nurturing loyal individuals with adventurous spirit
• Developing cadets into physically and mentally strong individuals

Activities are carried out within the compounds of Guangyang Secondary School and through programmes organised by the NCC Headquarter. (Amoy Quee Camp, Yio Chu Kang) These HQ organised activities include familiarisation with the M-16 rifle, Civil Defence, SANA, Energy Saving courses etc.

All cadets are required to attend trainfire sessions which are conducted by instructors from the NCC HQ. They are taught the basics of handling the M-16 rifle and are also given Individual Marksmanship Training (IMT). Proficiency in handling the M-16 will be required for live firing on the 25m and 100m range.

In addition, cadets are required to attend Camp Feast, whereby they get to experience outdoor adventures like rappelling, rock wall climbing, obstacle courses and battle simulated paintball sessions.

The Sec 3 cadets are sent for the Specialists’ Course to further hone their leadership skills in preparation for their eventual phase of leading the unit. Potential cadets who have graduated from the Specialist’s Course will then be selected to attend the Senior Specialists’ Course. Upon graduation, they will be the likely candidates to lead the unit.

Selected cadets are given the opportunity to take part in more exciting activities organised by the HQ. In 2006, Cadet Lieutenant Chia Yue Sheng was selected for Ex. Thunder Warrior, an International Exchange Programme, in January 2006. With other selected cadets, he got to observe the annual artillery live firing exercises conducted jointly between the Singapore Arm Forces (SAF) and the Royal New Zealand Artillery.
