History of Ngee Ann NPCC

Below are the milestones of this young and vigourous unit, however, there may still be some missing information.

1994 - Located in the eastern part of Singapore, Ngee Ann NPCC Unit was formed in 1994 within the territories of Area 11. Under the leadership of W/Insp Diana Boey, she had CI Ang Zhiqiang to assist her in running this unit of 40 boy cadets

Once again the unit was honoured to receive the Merit Award in the Overall Unit Proficiency Award 98.

All in all, we hope that this young and vigorous unit will continue her tradition of excellence for all batches of Ngee Ann NPCC cadets.

2007 - We have the arrival of two new CIs, namely CI Leow Yanjie and WCI Cher Peak Siah from Juilet Squad. Formerly Assistant Training Head and Admin Head, they strongly believe in contributing back to the unit what they have gained from it. In September, we held our unit's first Inter-Unit Amazing Race at Pasir Ris Park. We are shying away from doing yet another National Field Cooking Competition as the school is undergoing PRIME (construction). The first buildings to undergo PRIME are the quadrangle and Hall/Canteen, leaving us with not many feasible venues for a field cooking competition within the school compound.
Last but not least, we welcome in our November Squad of vibrant sec 1s. We congratulate you on your selection of NPCC as a CCA and hope you enjoy your NPCC life as much as your seniors did/are doing.

2008 – First, we have the new Uniform Room in the new building that was built during last year’s PRIME, however, the room is shared among the Uniformed Groups which gave us limited place to place our logistics. We also have the quadrangle back, which gave us more space to carry out our weekly training. The old NPCC room shared by us and NCC will be torn down for the second phase of PRIME. Then, we welcome WCI Netti, previously a cadet from our unit, as our Cadet Inspector for the unit. Next, we congratulate SI Grace and SI Fattah for their promotion to Station Inspector. Last but definitely not least, we welcome our Oscar Squad of Secondary 1 cadets to the unit. We congratulate you on your choice of NPCC as your CCA and hope you learn valuable knowledge in NPCC and have fun as much as your seniors.
