UOPA GOLD AWARD 2007

2008-02-08T10:25:00.000+08:00

As announced by Principal, Victoria School NPCC Unit has been awarded the Unit Overall Proficiency GOLD Award for 2007. This is also our 8th consecutive GOLD Award since year 2000! This achievement is by no means, an easy feat. Only 2 NPCC Units have obtained 12 GOLD Awards consecutively. Only VS and 1 other Girls' School have obtained 8 consecutive GOLD Awards, making VS one of the top four NPCC Units nationwide. This is again, by no means, an easy feat. This result is achievable only because each and everyone of you, a Victorian NPCC cadet, puts in 100% of commitment, dedication and hardwork in all training sessions at Unit or at HQ. Your 100% attendance at all training sessions, visits, courses, CIPs, marshal duties and shooting sessions is a very crucial and key factor in the winning of the GOLD Award.

Hence, in future, if anyone in the Unit you know, is trying to skip any NPCC training, get a group of cadets to encourage him not to skip training and to participate actively. Use peer pressure to influence him to change his poor attitude towards NPCC.

IN ORDER FOR VICTORIA SCHOOL NPCC UNIT TO ACHIEVE 10 CONSECUTIVE GOLD AWARDS TO WIN THE GOLD DRILL CANE, VSNPCC WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY CADET WITH POOR ATTITUDE AND POOR ATTENDANCE! DEFAULTERS WILL BE SEVERELY DEALT WITH!

Finally, from the Principal, Vice Principals and the School Management, the School recognises the efforts and hardwork put in by all NPCC cadets, ex-cadets, CIs, ex-CIs, HOs of Victoria School. The School pledges full support for the NPCC Unit in our remaining 2 years to achieve the Gold Drill Cane!

REMEMBER, VICTORIA SCHOOL IS ALWAYS SOMETHING MORE...

Hours Completed: 4hrs
Participants: Jeremy, Yi Wei, Yongwei, Andy, Jun Han, Yi An, Azhri

Today, we continued practicing our flagstaff. First we did some PT to make ourselves stronger so that we can be more efficent in tying the flagstaff, we did a few pull ups, and some log lifting.

Then we proceeded to tying the flagstaff, first, we practiced on the speed in which we tied the round lash. Then we did some pegging, we practiced how to aim the peg towards the center and how to adjust the angle of the peg. After about one hour of pegging, we stopped and went to tie round lash. Then we were taught how to tie the clove hitch on the poles.

After that we went to pitch the flagstaff, after i/2 and hour of effort, we managed to pitch up one.

After that we proceeded to the SOC area and id some exercises to further train our muscles. We did some pull ups and push ups.

Hours Completed: 4hrs
Participants: Jeremy, Yi Wei, Azhri, Andy, Jun Han

Today, to prepare for the campcraft competition, we practiced tying the round lash for the flagstaff, and we corrected our previous mistakes when we tied the flagstaff with the help from our CI.

We also improved the quality of our lash, by increasing the tension in the lash, so that the knot would be more firm and can hold for a longer period of time.

After tying for 4hrs, we managed to attain a faster timing of 2.34 minutes.

In preparation for the upcoming campcraft competion in February next year, this campcraft training was orgainised. In the competition, 9 people are required to pitch a shelter, a gadget and a flagstaff.

First we were briefed on the information about the competion regarding the materials and the time we had. Then we were told that the sec 3s, us would be doing the flagstaff. So we gathered our materials and went to practise. We had decided to practice the tying of the round lash to tie 2 poles together.

We took 2 3m poles and 2 3.5m manila ham. Then we started tying, with our CI to time us. We practiced throughout the whole session, as we received tips from our CI and we managed to reach a timing of 2.38 mins to tie both poles together.

It is still a sapling but it will grow into a large tree years from now.

Who knows, you might even do a Overseas CIP trip there at the end of sec 4 and see your tree

Thanks alot for your help anyway!

Today we went to scas to teach the scouts there how to read a topo map. Firstly, sir Zhan Liang showed them a topo map of Singapore and he explained to them the features of a topo map and how to use it. He also taught them how to use the compass. After that we had a short game of orienteering on the third floor. After orienteering, we had a sing-along session. We sang songs like yesterday, chan mali chan, adiji and flea fly. At the end of the last session with them, their teacher presented sir Zhan Liang a small vase as a token of appreciation.

P.S. sorry for the late post.

Hours Completed: 4hrs (1st shift)
Participants: Yiwei, Jeremy

The purpose of today's visit was to continue our painting work at the SCAS toy library, we aimed to finish the painting of the first wall which the sec 2s were asked to paint. During the previous session, we could not finish painting the wall because we had no yellow paint.

This session was very similar to the previous one. After getting the brushes and the paint ready, we started painting. With some people helping to wash brushes while the others concentrated on painting the wall. We also had to spend some time mixing paint, such as the mixing of blue and green to get a suitable shade of green the paint the tree leaves. By lunch, most of the wall have been painted except for the parts with the tree branches and tree trunk. This parts could not be painted as we did not have brown paint, so, at around 11pm, 4 of us went to Elias Mall to have lunch and at the same time buy brown paint.

After returning to the library, we stayed a while longer before leaving the painting in the hands of the second shift.

PS I brought the paints all the way from school!!!! Not easy!!!

We reached scas at around 9. The sec 2s were already continuing their painting of the wall in the toy library. There was nothing much left to do as they have almost completed their job on the wall, and were supposed to start on a seprate painting on the door. However, due to the absence of their artist, they were unable to start on their proposed plan as the sketching of the painting on the door has not yet been done. So, we decided to continue with the painting on the wall instead, touching up on the relevant parts and completing the undone ones. We completed the bunnies (ours still look nicer, lizhi u rock!:) and repainted the tree with a fresher coat. Overall, the painting looked fresher and and more vibrant than when we first saw it (though the bees still look lik apples -.-). However, the sec 2s did not cover the place well enough with newspaper, and forgot to line some around the control box. Therefore they had a real chore trying to get rid of the paint marks on the floor and on the control box. after much scrubbing they managed to make the marks fade a little, but now the floor was stained black due to the carbon from the newspaper. They than decided to use some water to try and get rid of the stains when thinner failed to remove them. It worked...to a certain extent. We will try to clean up some more the next time round, lest the teacher comes around and chide us again :x

So thats it we have completed the painting on the wall and are awaiting the time to start on the door.

p.s: call more sec 2s to go and help for the next session

After Yi Wei went home, after lunch, I went back to SCAS to supervise and help out the Sec 2s. The Sec 2s continued with the painting of the wall. We painted the black stripes and the eyes of the bee first as the yellow paint still did not arrive. We also touched up on the painting we had done in the first shift (some of the paint are dripping...). As the yellow paint did not arrive at all, the wall was not completed as scheduled. We then cleaned up the place and washed the brushes that we used. We returned the brushes we borrowed earlier to the Vice Principle of the SCAS and she locked the Toy Library. The buckets of paint that we used are brought home by some of the Sec 2s.

P.S. The Sec2s will continue to paint the wall and the door in the Toy Library next Wednesday, 14th November. Those Sec 3s who want to complete their NYAA Silver and do not have enough hours please go to supervise and help out the Sec 2s.

Participants: Yi Wei, Jun Han

Today, we went to the Spastic Children Association School to continue painting the toy library there. In June, the sec 3s had painted 3 walls there, and now the sec 2s are helping to paint 2 more walls, the sec 3s, us, went there to supervise and help out in some of the work needed to be done. The objective of today's visit was to paint one of the walls. The first shift had to sketch the picture designed by one of the sec 2s, Quinn, and start painting.

First, the newspapers were laid up on the floor around the wall to prevent any paint from staining the floor. Then, after the sketch was done up, we started painting. The painting went quite smoothly as we painted the rabbits and the apples. However, some problem was faced when we found out that we did not have yellow or brown paint.
This was essential was we needed to paint the tree branches. In the end, we painted as much as possible before our session ended, and we left the place leaving the second shift to paint any other parts of the picture that did not require the use of brown paint.

P.S. How do you get brown without yellow? I tried green, red, black mixed together, but the closest colour I got was marroon..... the rest looked like some gray shit.

The objective of the visit to the Spastic Children Association School was to play with the children again.

However, due to our punctuality, we reached about an hour before the games sessions started. Thus we were given administrative work to do. Such as the manual shredding of paper coz the automatic shredder was spoilt. We also did some sorting of papers for the school.

After that we went to classroom 11B to play with the children. We were split into 2 groups, one group, played monopoly (junior) with half the class while the other group played UNO with the remaining half. After a while, we swapped.

In conclusion, we enjoyed ourselves, and I am sure that the children enjoyed themselves too. We gained valuable experience and we feel sorry for the less fortunate children.

P.S. Sir Zhan Liang owes me 15 cents. joking lol.

Today, we taught the sec 2s and some Sec 1s and 2s cadets from NCC (land) how to tie the 8 basic knots:
Thumb knot, slip knot, clove hitch, figure of eight, bow line, reef knot, ship shank, sheet bend.
These knots are easy for most of us, but for the NCC cadets who did not learn campcraft before, they seemed to be of some challenge. By teaching them the knots, we could also revise on our campcraft skills.

Luckily the sec2s had learnt 6 out of the eight knots before, and thus could enhance our teaching by guiding the NCC cadets when needed.
The cadets learnt the first 6 knots quite quickly, however, for the remaining 2, they were of a slightly higher difficulty and thus more time and effort was required before the cadets managed to tie the knot without our PROFESSIONAL HELP.

The objective the visit to the Spastic Children Association School was to play with the mentally disabled children there.

The sec 2s, together with the sec 3s mentioned above, helped to train the mental power of the Spastic children there by playing interactive games such as UNO, some wierd monkey game, etc. These games seemed simple and easy for most of us who could play the games without much effort, however, for these disabled children, it needed a great amount of skill and physical ability in order to carry out the required task in the game in a given amount of time.

All in all, both us, the volunteers, and the children there had great time, and we enjoyed ourselves.

P.S.
-The main people who played the games were the sec 2s (slack job)
-The sec 3s had to make sure that the game went smoothly and help to solve any problems or obstacles faced. (tougher job)

Today, the three sec 3s accompanied six sec 2s to the Spastic Children Association Singapore to teach the scouts there how to perform certain campcraft skills, in this case, we taught them campcraft.

First, the 9 of us were split up such that each of us had a buddy which we could teach the skills to.
We taught them, 5 out of the 8 basic knots. Thumbknot, slip knot, reef knot, clove hitch, figure of eight.
This task of teaching them was not easy, this is so as they were slower in learning the steps to tie the knots and also, some of them could not control their hand movements properly which resulted in them being unable to tie the knots quickly. But in the end, most of them managed to learn at least 4 out of the 5 knots. We also managed to gain valuable experience through the teaching of these mentally disabled children.
While teaching the children, we also could revise on the tying of various basic knots.

P.S. I LEARNT HOW TO TIE MONKEY FIST!!! CAN USE TO HUNT ANIMALS LIKE DONKEYS!!!!

Participants : Tarang, Yi Wei, Yongwei, Jervin, Yi An, Chun Yong, Azhri, Johnathan Song, Andy, Nico

Day 1:
We arrived at pulau ubin and took a long walk to the campsite. There, we were splitted up into our groups from 1 to 6. Then, we started our tent pitching. Using our campcraft skills, we managed to pitch up out tents. After that, we were told which tent we were supposed to sleep in.

Next, was dinner. we had to cook our own instant noodles and eat them with can food.

Then, we played ice breaking games to allow us to be more familiar with our group ates.

Then, we were split in to groups to discuss our campfire item for the following night. After that, was the mock campfire. During this session, we were led by the song leaders to say various cheers that were going to be used for the actual campfire. We said cheers like flea fly, gako the frog, Titanic, etc.

After about one hour of cheering, we returned to out groups and were debriefed by our group CI, before going to sleep.

Day 2:
In the morning at about 6am, we had our flag raising ceremony. Following that was morning PT. We did push-ups, sit-ups, back raises and a few other types of exercises.
Then, we ate our breakfast.

Next the various groups went to carry out various activities. (The following part is only for group 5 and 6)
My group started with orienteering. We were given a map and a compass and we were told the 6 figure grid reference for the next check point. Using the map, we went from one check point to another. At each check point, we were taught different survival skills, such as building of shelters, obtaining drinkable water, testing if something is edible, and creating a compass.
However, at the last check point, it started raining and we were brought back to the campsite via a van.

Then, we had lunch.

Next, my group went for rafting. We changed into our wet attire and proceded to the next location. First, we had to build our raft. we did so by tying wooden branches together using square lashes. Then, we tied the barrels to our wooden structure.
After that, we carried our raft into the water and started paddling.
After about 15 mins of fun paddling the raft about, we carried it ashore and untied the knots.

Following that, we had out high ropes challenge. We were first told of the safety precaution we had to take, such as what to do when we fall off the course.
Then we took turns to try out the various rope challenge. This challenges required us to overcome our fears of height, and required a certain amount of stamina.

Next we had dinner.

Following that was the campfire whrere we cheered throughout the night.

After that we went to sleep.

Day 3:

In the morning, we attended flag raising ceremony AGAIN, and had our morning PT AGAIN. After that we ate our breakfast AGAIN.

Then, we unpitched our tents, cleaned the area and went for the debriefing session.

During the debriefing session, they debriefed us and annouced the best campers.....
Then, we took the boat back to SINGAPORE.

Today, we were introduced to the basic steps of setting up a flag staff. However due to lack of location, we were unable set up one.

The steps are as follows:

1. Tie two poles together using two round lash. Make sure that the overlapping point of the poles is 1/3 the length of one of the pole. If poles are of different diameters, make sure the thinner pole is on top of the Thicker one.

2. Tie three 5m long twines to the poles at the point where the poles overlap each other.

3. Then tie the twines to the pegs using the tent guy loop, making sure that the angles between the twines are equal and they should be around 120 degrees.

To prepare for the tent pitching in ATC, this campcraft session was organised to teach and train the sec 2s how to pitch a tent. The sec 3s who participated could revise and practice their tent pitching skills.

During the session, we practiced the various tent pitching skills such as pegging, tying of the tent guy loop, and also made ourselves more familiar with the procedure of pitching a tent.

However, due to lack of time, we did not pitch a complete tent. (Our tent did not have the outer sheet)

The procedure of pitching a tent is as follows:
1. Attached the horizontal pole to the vertical poles and get two people to hold it such that it is perpendicular to the ground.
2. Place the inner sheet over the poles and tie the 1.5m long twines to the hoops on the inner sheet using a bowline.
3. Determine the peg position and start pegging.
4. Tie the twine onto the peg using the tnet guy loop.
5. Place the outer sheet over the inner sheet.
6. Determine peg position and start pegging again.
7. Tie the outer sheet to the pegs with tent guy loops again.

Seniors

Hi,

This is to all sec three seniors.

Some of you might still be suffering from post ROD syndrome.

But i would like to tell you guys that the NCOs cannot do without seniors.

Though sometimes you guys joke and play around, which i can understand fully, you must still understand that there is a time to play and there is a time to be serious and working hard.

And study hard for your exams!

I hope to see a improved batch of seniors when i see you next time.

Thank You,
CI Zhan Liang

NCOs Evaluation

2007-08-31T19:29:00.000+08:00

Hi,

This is to all NCOs. I would just like to say afew words.

First of all, it has been a month since you guys took over officially. Some of you have been performing up to standard while many of you have not. There has been afew occassions where some of you have shined while many occassions that neither of you did.

There was the ATC which i believe i havent talked to you guys about. But i do hope that all of you who went remember that specific line i spoke to you about. It is the Victorian Pride that we are talking about. Do the best you can to bring that up.

That brings me to the other point. There are many tasks that i have asked some of you to do. Most of you responded well.

Sakib did an excellent job collecting the NYAA forms.

YiWei did an excellent job organising kayaking.

However, afew tasks i have handed over are still incompleted, such as the badge chart as well as badge lists. This speaks volume about your responsibility.

The upcoming events such as the Unit Camp at end of year would be another great challenge to you guys. And i expect the proposal to be in by the end of september. Once my exams are over i will come after you guys.

Also, do set a good example to your juniors in whatever way possible.

As i take a step down for the month of septmeber, you guys still have yourself to be responsible to.

NIL SINE LABORE,
CI Zhan Liang

To secondary one and two cadets reading,

Be a good cadet. Appreciate what the NCOs are doing for you. Its for the unit. Its for the school.

NIL SINE NCOs,

NYAA Skills: Campcraft

14 August 2007
Hours completed: 1 hour
Participants: Nico, Yi Wei

In preparation for the upcoming ATC, the sec 2s and sec 3s had to learn how to pitch a tent. Today, we taught 6 sec 2s, who attended the training, pegging, at the same time, we revised and practiced that skill.

We practiced on how to make sure that the peg is facing the centre of the tent, however, we did not use a tent, instead, we just marked out a certain point as the centre. This could be done by placing one foot such that it points towards the centre. Then, place the other foot perpendicular to the first foot, before the person can start pegging.

We spent the session practicing how to make sure that the peg faces the centre and how to make sure that the angle between the peg and the ground is around 45 degrees. And also, we trained our speed in pegging.
