1. It is to be the Training Policy of NPCC that:
a. the Training Years will include all
Sec 1 to Sec 3 cadets; the
Service Years will include all Sec 4/5
cadets;
b. the training programme should
prepare cadets adequately for
the various proficiency badges;
c. it should also qualify cadets
for promotion to various ranks;
d. camping to begin at Sec 1 which
is to be an overnight camp in
school while Sec 2 cadets go
to Pulau Ubin. Sec 3 cadets will
also go to Pulau Ubin, but a separate and challenging training
/ camping programme be devised
for them.
2. Thus, the training programme to be implemented is devised
in line with the above-mentioned policy. All cadets
will
complete NPCC training by the time they finish their
3rd year
in NPCC. All Sec 4/5 cadets will concentrate on
providing
services for the schools or community.
3. All Sec 4/5 cadets will given a special task to perform,
i.e. to
be 'mentor' to their junior counterparts. They will
give a
'helping hand' in matters pertaining to NPCC
training, not
unlike that of a 'big' brother or sister. Some
specially selected
Sec 4/5 NCOs will carry on with their
specified duties.
4. Apart from being 'mentors' as and when required, all Sec
4/5
cadets may assist their schools as "Security Officer".
They will
do a monthly check of the schools' physical
security
measures like checking for damaged perimeter
fencing and
any other accesses to the school building. A
checklist of the
various measures will be given to the cadets
who will then
report any weaknesses in these security
measures to the
school authority.
