One challenge I faced was keeping up with my uniform at the start. I was struggle to meet all the requirements and expectations for my uniform checking. However, I’ve overcame that stage and know how to place my badges, season my beret etc. I know how to properly wear my attire

One event that made me feel good was NPCC commemoration day, where we all stood in front of the school. I felt good and proud of representing NPCC infront of the school

Recently, when we did camp craft with our maams. I enjoyed spending time and bonding with them. I also got to chat with my fellow squad mates.

One person I would like to give a shoutout to is Samikha. She has been probably everyone’s role model due to her responsibility and professionalism. Keep it up Samikha!!!

I wish to improve on my professionalism as I feel that I can be quite playful and unserious at times. I am aware and have been trying to improve on that area.

One challenge I faced this term was the 3rd class drills. I struggled to remember how to execute the drills, as there were many to remember. But I practiced every time I had the time, with my squadmates or myself. In the end, I managed to be the first few to finish my test.

One event that made me felt good was the NPCC commemoration day where all NPCC cadets had to stand in the front, it was so exhilarating to execute my drills in front of the school and I felt proud to be in NPCC.

One event I enjoyed was the VIA Sentosa Outreach that I signed up for in Sec 1. It was so nice to spend time with the cadets that signed up for the outreach too and I learned a lot of new things there.

One cadet I want to acknowledge is Shanjana. She really helped me a lot during campcraft, teaching me how to tie the knots and lashing when I didn't know how. She is really helpful, and is always willing to help others when they need it. Thank you Shanjana!!

One thing I wish to improve on is not making new friends easily, because I feel that I have been sticking to the same few people in CCA and I think that in order to feel more united, I should put in the effort to get to know more people. I have been trying to talk to new people during CCA and I guess its still a work in progress.

one challenge that I have faced this term is not being able to put my badges in a straight line.

one event that made me feel empowered and good is npcc commemoration day as when we are standing infront of the hall, I felt so proud as we were all representing npcc

one event that I enjoyed was unit camp. During the camp I was clueless and I was not friends with anyone in my camp group. But after awhile I made friends with them.i also learnt that having teamwork is very important as without team work you tasks would not be done as efficiently as doing it with teamwork.

one person I would like to acknowledge is samikha as she is very nice and would always go around fixing our uniform. She would also give us helpful reminders.

one thing I feel i need to improve on is being confident when I execute the drills

one challenge that i faced this term was struggling to remembering the drills.There were many commands to remember, and some commands sounded the same to me. However, with sufficient practice, I was able to execute the drills.

one event that made me feel good was

NPCC Commemoration Day, as were all standing in front of the school, and i felt proud representing my CCA.

One event that I enjoyed was Area 4 Games day. On this game we got to play games together. Through this event, I learnt the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship.

One person i would like to acknowledge is jeanneen. Throughout this term, she has been helping me with my drills and camp craft. When i was unsure of the commands, or even knots and lashings, she has always helped me and clear my doubts.

One thing I need to improve on is making more friends. Throughout these few CCA sessions, I have been sticking with the same people and i feel like i have to get to know more

people.

One challenge i faced this term was my drills. I feel that at the start of the term I had difficulty understanding the drill commands as it was in a completely different language

One event that made me feel empowered was the road marshall duty as I was able to guide the children to and teach them about road safety which made me feel like i had the ability to lead

I would like to acknowledge Samikha as she taught me how to be more disciplined and taught me how to do drills.

One thing i feel i can work on in my discipline

1 challenge I faced this term was learning drills. I faced difficulties like moving the wrong leg and not understanding the command words as they were in a language I didn't understand. However, I overcame that challenge by seeking help from my senior and friends and practised the drills at home .

1 event that made me feel empowered was definitely the muster parade that we practised. Initially, I did not know how to do it properly but by practising every week in CCA, I managed to learn it by heart and I feel empowered whenever I do it.

1 training session I enjoyed was the camp craft lesson. I was struggling with the knots and lashing but after the seniors taught me tricks and strategies to help me tie knots it was easier for me making it very memorable and enjoyable.

One person I want to acknowledge is Samika, she is very hardworking and always does her best at every CCA lesson and encourages and teaches others patiently.

One thing I can work on is to learn how to do drills continuously without feeling tired and to build up my stamina.

one challenge i had this term was to keep my uniform perfect every week. i had some problems at the start with my badges alignment and my beret, but now i am more used to the uniform and can make sure it is good for every session.

one activity that made me feel good or empowered was the road marshal duty as i was able to use what i learnt for road safety to guide the P4s.

one event that i enjoyed and learnt from was the unit camp, where i was able to have fun with my squadmates, have fun activities, and learning to interact more with my squadmates.

one person i would like to acknowledge is suba as she has helped me stay motivated in npcc. she is also a nice person to be around and she has helped me with seasoning my beret

one thing i can work on is my initiative and to reduce my procrastination. i tend to push work to the deadline and i don’t normally do work right as it’s given. i should work on this.

One challenge I faced this term was to remember to iron my uniform and bring it the next day. I had forgotten to bring my uniform once and had to go back home to get it. This resulted in me being late to school that day. It was a lesson learnt and I kept a reminder to remind me to take my uniform. Bringing the uniform and the shoes all the way to school and back was a bit of a hassle as it was really heavy and made my shoulders and back ache.

One event I enjoyed was the NPCC Commemoration day as I felt really proud of my CCA as I stood in front of the whole school. Although I was nervous that I would not be able to execute the drills properly, I managed to do them and liked the video on the CCA.

One activity I enjoyed doing was the campcraft as it was relaxing and refreshing from the commanding and the 3rd class drills we had to do. I learnt new and different knots.

One person I want to acknowledge is Xin Yan as she makes me laugh and is good company to be around with. She is quite responsible and and funny.

I think I can improve on my drills as they were not that good. I wish to be more serious as I was quite childish and playful this term.

one thing i struggled with was getting used to the drills. i often mixed up my leg movements and had trouble following the commands, especially since some of them were in a language i wasn’t familiar with. starting, it felt really difficult, but when i received help from my seniors and friends, i got more confident and started getting it right more consistently.

one event that i enjoyed was Area 4 Games Day. during this event, we got the chance to take part in games as a team. it was fun and exciting to work together with everyone, and it really helped me understand the value of teamwork and staying positive even when things did not go as planned. it made me feel more connected to my team and proud to be part of the cca.

one of the most memorable training sessions for me was learning campcraft. i had a hard time with knots and lashing at first, it was complicated but the seniors shared some useful tips and made the process easier to understand.

someone i would like to acknowledge is Samika. she always puts in 100% effort and is really supportive towards others. i think that’s something really admirable.

something i am hoping to work on is my confidence. sometimes i doubt myself or hesitate because i am afraid of making mistakes. but i realised that confidence grows the more i try, so i will keep pushing myself to step out of my comfort zone.

One challenge i faced this term was preparing my uniform every week. i had to put on all the badges, iron and do the same things every week. This process seemed quite tedious at first but i got used to it by the second month.

One activity that made me feel empowered is the Road Marshall duty when we had the chance to remind students about traffic rules. This was a fun activity that made me feel more confident.

One training session that stood out to me was the last day our squadmates were doing 3rd class drills. While the last few were doing their test, the ones who already completed were practicing knots for campcraft. During this, I had the chance to bond with my ma'ams and learn more about them.

One squadmate i would like to affirm is Shasmeen. She is always by my side to give moral support during tough training sessions. Thanks Shas...

One thing I can definitely work on is my GROWTH mindset. Sometimes When I feel discouraged executing a few drills wrongly, I let it get the best of me and for the rest of the CCA session, my drills are all wrong. I will work on this and next time when I make a mistake, I will not give up so fast.

This term, one challenge that I faced was maintaining my uniform every week. Making sure all the badges were in place, ironing it properly, and preparing it for each session requires effort and consistency. When we started wearing the uniform every week , it felt tiring and repetitive, but after some time, I became more disciplined and found ways to manage the task more easily.

One activity that made me feel confident was doing the drills during a training session. Standing in front of the squad and helping them through each step was quite stressful , but it helped me to push out of my comfort zone. It helped me develop better communication skills. By the end of it, I felt proud that I was able to lead confidently and support my squadmates.

A memorable training session was that last year when we were sec 1s , I remember getting to know my ma'ams more and sitting around in the circle communicating with each other and getting to know one another as well. It was a very memorable training session to me as it helped me build my communication skills better.

I would like to affirm my squadmate, Heerthiika , for always being a source of support. Her encouragements keeps me going she always motivates me not to give up during the CCA session and asking her if my uniform is neat and proper gives me a big relief and also heerthiika has been very supportive since sec 1 and her motivation keeps me going.

One thing I am working to improve is my mindset, especially whenever I make mistakes. I sometimes tend to get discouraged easily, and it sometimes affects the rest of my performance whenever i do drills . Moving forward, I want to approach challenges with a more positive attitude and remind myself that every mistake is an opportunity to learn and grow. Keep Moving Forward.

One challenge I faces was to learn and remember the drills and commands. It was also quite challenging to execute the drills without the mam guiding us.

I enjoyed the road marshall duty. It was enjoyable to teach the kids about road safety also learning more for myself in the process.

I enjoyed the campcraft sessions. It was enjoyable to learn the knots and lashings with my seniors and my squad mates. I learnt more about campcraft and my squad mates through these sessions.

I would like to acknowledge samikha. She was really helpful to me and my squad mates. She always provided support for us and she is really fun to be around with. Moreover, she helped guide me and my squad mates through tiring sessions and she always spread her positivity to everyone.

I feel like I can improve on taking more initiative and stepping up to volunteer. I don't usually volunteer when needed as I am quite nervous to. Hence, I plan to improve my confidence by taking one step at a time.

Share ONE growth mindset that you had experienced today.

Describe ONE challenging moment you experienced today and share how you managed to overcome this moment.

My team was last in the race, however instead of sulking about it, I decided to not be so hard on myself as I don’t do this often. I also took it as learn my experience

My arm started hurting after paddling for a while but I pushed myself and tried not to give up.

during dragon boating, I reminded myself that even though I was not very experienced at paddling, I could always improve with practice. Instead of comparing myself to others, I focused on learning the right techniques and giving my best effort.

A challenging moment I faced was when my arms started to feel really tired during the paddling. I felt like giving up, but I pushed myself by keeping pace with my teammates and remembering that teamwork was more important than individual strength. By focusing on our rhythm and motivating myself to keep going, I managed to overcome the tiredness and finish strong with the team.

I learned to be more resilient and focused on positives which made my experience more enjoyable. I gave the activities my all and when I make a mistake, instead of stressing myself, I learnt from in and adapted.

one challenge was the physical strain from dragonboating, after a while I got really tired and my arms were hurting, I really wanted to rest but I didn't want to waste this opportunity to do dragonboating so I pushed through to finish the activity.

I had learnt how to work with people I was not familiar with, this strengthened my growth mindset by teaching me how to be adaptable

A challenge I faced was that I struggled with rowing backwards. I overcame it by learning how to control my muscles

we managed to get first place in the dragon boat competition due to determination

synchronising with everyone else on the boat i managed to understand from my friend how the numbers of the sequence was

I didnt have much experience in dragon boating as i have only done it twice and was worried that i would bring my team down. In the end, i tried my best and helped my team win

I had difficulty using the paddles without my arms hurting. In the end I preserved and was able to complete the activity with out any injuries

One growth mindset I learnt today was even though we did not win the race, we still persevered and work together as a group to do our best.

One challenge I faced was that it was hard to coordinate the timing with my group mates and sometimes my timing would not sync with my group members timing.

Before going for dragon boating i thought that it would be tough and i didnt want to go but i pushed myseld to give it a try.

The challenge i faced was coordinating my strokes with my group. Our boat was a little uncoordinated and hence we were a little slow. But we overcame it by timing our strokes and listening to our instructor that we should watch the person in front of us. Even though we didnt win the race, i was still glad to see the improvement my boat made.

Even though the experience was tiring and i did not want to want to go it was quite fun and enjoyable

It was challenging to paddle continuously as it takes up a lot of strength but the more i don’t it the less tiring it got

One growth mindset I had was when my team was not being able to synchronise well at first but we didn’t give up and work together .

One challenge I outcome was when I was paddling the boat it was hard to be pushing the water and it made my arm sore but I pushed through it .

While my team wasn’t able to win the final race, I was able to make closer bonds with my teammates from any levels. Despite not winning the race, I appreciate the enjoyment of the activity, and the opportunity to improve my teamwork skills.

One challenge I faced was that I was unfamiliar with the people I was working with in the boat. I would row too quickly and have poor synchronisation with my teammates. Despite this, during the activity I got used to the rowing pace of my teammates and was able to work with them better.

At first, I was really reluctant to go for dragon boating as I did it several times as an activity for camps and thought that it would be boring. However, as soon as the activity started, I realized that it was going to be fun, since it was my first time going out for dragon boating with my CCA. During the activity, it helped me to boost my communication skills with my CCA mates, allowing me to get more comfortable with them.

One challenge I faced throughout the activity was exhaustion from paddling the boat so much. I was able to overcome it assuring myself that I would be able to rest properly after the activity.

During Dragon Boating, i was not in a group with many of my friends , thus i felt lonely and though i will not enjoy much from this moment . However throughout the activity, i learned to coordinate with people i am not close to, and had an enjoyable time with them.

A challenging moment was during the last race , we felt tired from the continuous paddling and wanted to give up. However i learned to persevere and not give up simply because something was tiring or difficult. We pushed through and our team ended up having a good time.

My team came last. However, instead of getting disappointed I cheered up my friends and told them that even though we didn't win, we managed to bond and get closer. Using growth mindset i managed to not be affected by the setback and thought of ways to improve my skills.

One challenge I was able to overcome was the rowing. My arms hurt a lot at the start but by paying attention and following the instructions, I managed to learn the skills to ensure my arm didn't hurt that much.

i learned to work together as a team and persevere even when we tried our best to coordinate and win the race

I learned how to angle my shoots and how to be more Precise

I struggled with shooting the gun and needed assistance. I overcame it by calming my nerves and focusing on the target while also taking into consideration what the instructor said

i learnt that handling a gun is a big responsibility and will harm others if not handled properly.

I had challenges lining my gun properly to aim. I overcame this by talking a deep breathe and taking time to align my gun before each round.

I have learnt how to shoot properly and how to reload it without help.

I was scared to shoot as i thought something bad was about to happen but luckily it did not happen

I learnt to be confident in what i do and to not be afraid of the shooting thus i was able to step out if my comfort zone

A challenge was pulling the trigger of the gun as it was hard to pull it and i had an injury from it but was able to overcome it by putting more strength when pressing it

i learned how to shoot using a revolver for the first time using real bullets.

one challenging moment was that i found it tough to push the trigger to shoot. i perservered and used all my strength to push it. though i didnt get the scores i wanted to, i was still happy with my scores as i knew that i tried my best.

I learnt that we should not fear so many things in life and try to come out of our comfort zone. Because who knows, it might be an opportunity to learn more things than you already know. I also learnt that the recoil of using a revolver isn’t that much.

What was challenging was to press the trigger. I had to use two fingers. However, I had to be resilient and push harder to shoot. I managed to do so. I had fun.

I learnt how to shoot accurately and how to handle a revolver

Pulling the trigger was challenging because it kept pinching my finger.

I learnt how to identify my master eye by using the triangle technique which helped me to aim better when i was shooting. I also learnt how to react when faced with a malfunction during the live practice

One challenge i faced was pulling the trigger as i could not do so with one finger, hence i had to use two which made my revolver a little less stable when i was firing but i tried to resolve that by locking my arms more.

I learnt how the revolver, recoil, and aiming feels during the live shoot. I expected the recoil and the firing sound to be much greater but it was manageable.

One challenge I faced during the shoot was that I was very stressed at the range and that I couldn’t hear the instructor well. To overcome this, I tried to think less about the final score, instead thinking about listening out for the commands and procedures.

i learnt how to hold and use a revolver

aiming the target

I learnt how to improve my aim and to be more accurate and precise when shooting

I had trouble lining the gun and unloading the gun. I overcomed this challenge by raising my hand and asking for assistance.

I learned how to aim and shoot at the target with precision and accuracy using the master eye.

1 challenge I had was pressing the trigger as hard to press it with one finger so I used my other finger to give the strength to push the trigger

I learn how to aim and how to be more accurate

1 challenge i faced was aiming precisely i overcomes it with a few more practice

i learned how to handle the revolver and the names of the different part of the revolver

a challenge i faced was fear when trying to shoot i was worried and anxious about the many things that could have happened and it was also my first time but after the shooting i felt that i have gained more confidence in shooting

I learnt how to shoot and overcome my fear of loud noises. I also learnt how to aim properly and steps to holding a gun. I also learnt how to own up to mistakes and be transparent.

The loud noise when you shoot the gun was scary and i flinched everytime i shot the gun, hindering my ability to shoot marvelously.

One learning experience for me was that I was able to overcome my fears, as holding a real gun for the first time and it was challenging. I learnt that aiming and shooting is difficult and it needs a lot of practice.

One challenge I faced was aiming properly and shooting inside the target. I kept both my eyes open most of the time, which affected my aim.

Share ONE thing that you felt you did well/ went well for you during the camp.

Describe ONE challenging moment you experienced during the camp.

Identify ONE person/ a group of people that you want to acknowledge. Explain why this person/ group deserves acknowledgement (clear example that you witnessed).

one thing that went well was working and communicating with my group mates. In the beginning, my group mates only interacted with each other by level as the sec 1s only talked to each other while the sec 2s only talked to each other. However as we did more team bonding games together we started to communicate more, working together and opening up to one another .

one challenging part of camp was planning for the camp performance and camp cheer. My group found it hard to come up with words for the cheer as the group name we had was long, making it hard to find rhymes and different words. When we chose our song for the campfire, we struggled to find a dance that matched the song as it was very energetic and fast. However, we overcame this challenge by coming together and discussing with one another, eventually choreographing a dance that suited the song lyrics.

A group of people i would like to acknowledge would be the secondary 1s in my group. When we were all first grouped together, the sec 1s seemed uncomfortable, rarely particating in group discussions or talking to anyone, However, through the icebreaker games, they stepped out of their comfort zone and started to talk and participate more actively. For example, on the first day when we played the icebreaker games, they were very shy and rarely spoke. However after a while in a separate game, they opened up more and took part in group discussions. Thus, i think that deserve the acknowledgment as it is not easy to step out of their comfort zone.

One thing that went well for me was that me and my group mates managed to bond closer with one another throughout the three days. I managed to learn new things about them and their personalities. I also enjoyed the team bonding activities as well.

One challenging moment was probably during campfire prep. Me and my group mates had limited time to come up with a dance and cheer where all of us can learn them. However, we put all our heads in and managed to come up with something and got second place!!!

One person(or people) I would like to acknowledge is probably my maams, Mariet Maam and Hanney Maam, for guiding us throughout this camp and taking care of us when needed. When I had gastric pain, they were immediately asking if I was okay and needed rest. I appreciate their efforts. I also would like to thank my teammates for making this camp enjoyable and tolerable.(Nicole, Rachael, Grace, and Zoey)

I felt that I did very well bringing my groupmates together to do the activities and campfire prep together :) I made sure that my groupmates were on track and that we had fun during the process. I also woke up my groupmates by waking up early to get them to prepare their items so we would not lack behind.

One challenging situation i faced during camp was when I had experienced gastric pain… what I did to resolve it was I reported it to my maams and did not push myself too much during activities

I would like to commend my group ICs juwaira maam and yuxin maam as they made my camp experience very fun! They also did regular check ups on my groupmates which i found very endearing. I would also like to commend Mirabelle from my group and she really stepped out of her comfort zone and actually talked alot more than I expected her to. She also took charge in some parts of campfire prep

I feel that something that went well during the camp was the team spirit that my group had. We bonded really well and worked well together.

One challenging moment I experienced during the camp during the campfire where I was very anxious and nervous before our performance, as we were not very confident with our camp cheer.

I would love to acknowledge the Sec 3's as their effort really needs acknowledgment as they were literally everywhere, and were working very hard. I am very grateful for the amazing camp they organised for us.

one things that went well for me during the camp is being able to communicate more with my groupmates

one challenging moment for me during the camp was the preparation for the camp fire as we had to do some last minute changes as we felt that the dance was better if we do it as a group .

One person I would like to acknowledge is zoey , as she was very open with everybody and try to give ideas when it was group work , for example , during the investigation part , she tried to give some of her ideas and views on certain part of the investigation .

One thing that went well during the camp is the communication I had with my group. Initially, I was a bit scared of whether I would be able to get along with my group. However, my group bonded really well with one another and they made everyone feel seen and heard.

One challenging moment I faced during camp was the campfire performance. We were a bit unprepared as we didn't have enough time to practice and get our whole performance ready. However, thanks to my group and the support they gave to one another, we were able to push through it.

A group of people I would like to acknowledge is the Sec 3s. The mams really worked hard to put together this camp for us and sacrificed so much for us. During the last day of camp, there wasn't enough bread for breakfast. So the mams decided to give the bread to their juniors and they didn't eat it. I was really touched by their sacrifice and I really affirm them for that. Moreover, I also saw the mams constantly giving their best even though they were tired and I affirm their resilience and determination.

One thing that went well during camp was that we all had lots of fun during the campfire and we managed to make many good memories. Everyone was cheering very loudly and everyone was having lots of fun supporting their friends.

One challenging moment was when I had really bad stomach pain on the second day of camp. I was having difficulties moving around but the maams told me to sit out and looked out for me and the others that were sick.

A group of people I would like to acknowledge are the sec 3s. They planned the camp very well and took care of all of us. They were also understanding as when some of us had stomach aches they let us sit out and only take part in activities that did not require us to move around much. They were also very attentive. My group leaders kept checking up on us and asking if we needed anything.

One thing I did well for camp was that I tried my best to talk with all my group members and encouraged them to step out of their comfort zone during group activities.

One challenging moment I faced during camp was falling down and spraining my ankle.

I would like to acknowledge Jaishree and my maams as they really looked out for me after my fall and Jaishree always accompanied me when we had to move around even though I was walking really slowly. I appreciate the they way looked out for me and for making that one day of camp for me memorable.

one thing that went well was my teammates they bonded and worked well togethe. we were quiet at the beginning but the team bonding activities allowed us to open up and get to know each other more

one challenging moment was when we were rehearsing the campfire preparation we were told that we were speaking too softly. but during the campfire my teammates were all performing enthusiastically

a group of people i would like to acknowledge is the sec 3s they worked very hard to plan this camp for us and make it a memorable experience. they were still very enthusiastic despite them being tired, they also supported us and motivated us

Sleeping in the tent with my group mates from other schools. It was an enjoyable experience as we shared stories with each other before sleeping.

Trying to light the solid fuel to cook our meals. The solid fuel could not light up no matter how hard we tried. I overcame this challenge by asking one of the CIs to help my partner and I light it up.

One memorable moment I had in Adventure Training Camp was seeing my group mates bond and help one another. Though we were all from different schools and squads, it was really amazing to see them make friends with one another and help each other throughout the different activities and challenges.

One challenging moment during the Adventure Training Camp was the short time we had for showering. It was challenging at first to be able to complete all the necessary things on time and it was really rushed. But I am grateful to the cadets who took up the initiative to let everyone know to do things on time and they really helped everyone stick to the time given. Overall, everyone played their part to take as little time as possible and let everyone have sufficient time to be done with showering.

My friend and I spilled my noodles on the floor as the handle was too hot but it was fun to cook with one another

we had to make a tent together but some of our teammates we not doing anything so we had to try to do it ourselves. even though they weren't doing anything it was still fun as I had new friends doing it together

A memorable experience I had during Adventure Training Camp was the Low element rope course. It was memorable as I was able to balance on and walk on the rope (at least halfway through) and face my fear of uncertainty. Furthermore, my ICs for that segment were fun and engaging and made lots of jokes which made my experience all the more fun

One memorable experience and humbling experience was the campfire as all groups could perform for each other to watch and it was special as we were all from NPCC.

One challenging experience was cooking dinner as I was not used to outdoor cooking. I overcomed it by working together with my friend and helping one another.

One memorable moment for me during ATC was the campfire. The atmosphere was quite bright, even though some of us were tired. It was really nice to get to know the other students from the other schools.

One challenging moment during ATC was when we were cooking our meals. It was quite difficult to finish cooking our meals and washing the mass tins up within the time we were given. We managed to overcome this challenge by taking turns to cook the meals and washing the mass tins.

One very humbling and memorable experience I had during ATC was the walk from the jetty to the campsite. It was extremely hot and challenging. I had expected it to be hot but I did not realise my legs and feet would hurt so much. Despite all the pain, I could chat with my friends and see the nature while walking, so it was truly memorable for me.

One challenging experience I had was when we were showering. The toilets were extremely crowded and we had to use mugs to wash our hair. There was also cockroaches and pests in the shower so we were scared.

One thing that went well during camp for me was that I managed to bond well with my group mates

One challenging moment was the limited time we had to make the campfire cheer and performance

One person I would like to acknowledge is my group for being there for me whenever i needed them

One humbling experience was how hard it was to cook food by ourselves, having to light the fire with matchsticks and having to wash dishes, it was quite tough having to do this for 3 days for breakfast lunch and dinner.

One memorable experience was the campfire event on the last night. We got to sit around a big campfire at night, everyone gathered around to do our cheers that we spent time preparing and also got to do the various cheers we were taught. Everyone smiled hard that night and laughter was genuine. It was the highlight for me.

One challenge was mingling with my group mates, it was challenging because we were all from different schools and genders, so it was awkward trying to get to know one another. However, I tried to be open and enthusiastic and slowly tried to get to know them, and was able to form friendships in the end of the camp.

One memorable experience from Adenture Training Camp was getting to make new friends from different schools, as I got to socialise and forge new friendships.

One challenge that I faced was getting the group together to plan for the campfire. Even though at first it was difficult to get everyone to open up, eventually everyone started contributing different ideas for the performance and the cheer.

I did not attend the ATC, but a memorable and humbling experience I learned about was how participants had to cooperate and help one another during the camp, even when they were tired or faced difficulties. Listening to their experiences made me realise that teamwork and discipline are important, especially in challenging situations.

Since I did not attend the ATC, I did not experience challenges directly. However, one challenge I faced was feeling disappointed about missing the camp. I overcame this by listening to my friends share their experiences and reflecting on the lessons they learned, such as resilience and responsibility.

One memorable experience I recall from ATC was when we were performing low elements. I bonded with other members of my group, and it was exciting because I made new friends. Once a girl in my group slipped and almost fell but I managed to catch her.

One challenging thing was the food. I had trouble adjusting to the food, as we had to eat the same thing twice a day, and I felt queasy after eating it.

I made a few new friends from other schools in ATC and and got along well with them and I am grateful I made friends with them making my ATC experience very memorable.

One challenging moment I experience was that I was put in a different group from my friends, and I managed to overcome it by making new friends from other schools in my group and going with them instead.

One memorable experience I remember during ATC is participating in fire starting with people from different schools. Fire starting was a lot harder than I expected it to, and I had to repeat multiple tries to ignite the kinder.

One challenging moment I experienced during ATC was when my group was tasked with building a shelter using spars and twines. With minimal materials to build a proper structure, it was hard to come up with a plan for the build. However we were able to take inspiration from existing nearby buildings and build something similar to them. Although the final structure was not very stable, our group was able to learn much about shelter building.

I learnt about the importance of teamwork. It increases productivity, boosts efficiency, improves problem-solving skills and creativity.

I learnt about using non-verbal communication. For example, making use of body language, eye contact, gestures or tone of voice to convey your feelings or attitude.

I learnt how to explain things clearly. For example, I can share common mistakes made, shortcuts, or break down the topic into smaller parts.

When giving feedbacks on improving, i should give positive feedbacks before saying what they can improve on and then ending off with a positive feedbacks before saying again so that juniors will not feel bad.

Before CCA starts, the weather, ventilation needs to be considered before choosing a venue.

I learned to be confident and maintain a body language that makes juniors interested

I learnt on how I should conduct a lesson by doing an introduction, formation, explanation, demonstration, and practice

I learnt how to properly give feedback by using the sandwich method to encourage our cadets to work harder

I learnt the importanced of teamwork between my squadmates so that we can work well and cooperate to teach the cadets

I learnt the 5 MOI, Introduction, Formation, Explanation, Demonstration and Practise and the importance of them.

I learnt the importance of teamwork and the difference between verbal and non verbal communiction and its differences.

I have to always plan for bad weather.

Location/Formation is important to ensure cadets comfort and ability to observe explanations/demonstrations. This allows them to learn more effectively.

When speaking to cadets, a confident tone and sufficient volume is necessary in order to gain their attention, which ensures that they are listening to whatever is being said.

Explanation and demonstration is important so that cadets know exactly what to do, it is encouraged to ask if anyone needs a repetition of the demonstration to ensure that everyone understands the steps of any task being taught.

I learnt how to give back feedbacks using the sandwich method.

I learnt how to conduct a lesson properly by doing introduction, formation, explanation, demonstration and practice.

I also learnt that communication is very important.

The sandwich method

• ensure to give positive feedback, positive critism and then positive feedback again

when choosing a venue to hold NPCC sessions at, I must plan ahead and ensure the weather conditions, ventilation and space are adequate for training

Effective communication.

• ensure that when I am speaking ti cadets, I introduce, explain, demonstrate and practice

i learnt that location is important while doing drills because we do not want anyone to be standing in the direct sunlight and we need to make sure they have enough ventilation as the drills can be strenuous

I learnt that we should properly introduce outselves and and we are doing that training so that our juniors can be aware and learn why we do what we do

I learnt that we should keep demonstrating the drills as some drills can be hard to understand and the juniors might need some extra help understanding

One thing i learnt is the MOI acronym, Introduction, formation demonstration, explanation and practise. Using the acronym to plan training sessions for the juniors in the future. Introduction, to introduce yourself, what you are going to do today and set some ground rules for the session today. Formation, how everyone is standing, the cadets should be able to see the instructor clearly. demonstration, we should demonstrate clearly and slowly, to allow cadets to understand better, we can explain. Explanation, we should explain the importance of the thing we are doing. Practise, allowing the cadets to practise what the have learnt until they fully understand.

I learnt the positive sandwich method, which goes from a positive comment to a constructive criticism and then another positive comment. this would motivate the cadets be it while they are doing drills or camp craft, but still giving them something they can improve on to better themselves.

I have learnt the importance in being confident and holding eye contact when talking, being loud and clear for the people on the back to hear. I'll need to engage everyone and catch everyone's attention, in order to be able to properly teach what I want them to learn and they must be able to remember as well.

I learned that when giving feedback,I should give positive feedback followed by the area of improvement and then positive feedback again.

I learned that to teach the squad i need to use the MOI

-Introduction

-Formation

-Demonstration

-Explain

-Practice

I also learned that communication is very important,so whenever I'm giving instructions i must make it clear for everyone to understand

I learnt about the sandwich method which is used when giving out feedback. It is used by giving positive feedback, followed by constructive feedback and then positive feedback again, such as a word of encouragement to the juniors. This is important as it can help us encourage our juniors to not give up so easily and give them motivation when doing drills or campcraft, allowing them to learn from their mistakes at the same time.

I have also learnt about MOI (methods of instructions). First, we start off with an introduction, by giving our juniors a brief introduction of who we are and what we are going to learn during the session. Formation is also very important when giving out instructions to our juniors, ensuring that they are comfortable, safe, and have enough ventilation for them to focus on the instructions. Next, we give them an explanation on why we are having that session to teach them campcraft, for example, explaining the use of different knots and how we can apply them in our daily lives. After that, we demonstrate what we explained to our juniors, giving them a much more clear understanding of what we are learning. Lastly, we should give them some time to practice by themselves so that they know how to execute their drills/tying of knots, so that we know how to help them if they have any problems. It is important to have the juniors' full attention when we are giving out instructions so that they are clear on what to do for the day.

Lastly, I have learnt about the importance of communication, which falls between verbal and non-verbal communication. Verbal communication can refer to our tone, such as our confidence when speaking. Non-verbal communication can refer to our body language, such as gestures and eye contact. This is important when giving our juniors an impression of ourselves when we talk to them for the first time.

One thing I felt that I did well from camp is stepping out of my comfort zone during the various activities even though I was quite shy to communicate with the Secondary 1s.

One challenging moment for me during the camp was losing my voice the day before camp, making it quite difficult for me to participate in some of the activities, even though I really wanted to take this opportunity to talk to the Secondary 1s.

I would like to acknowledge my group for including me and giving me the motivation and energy to participate in different activities even though I was not able to talk throughout the camp because I was sick. I would also like to acknowledge the Secondary 1 students for trying to step out of their comfort zone, even if it was their first time getting to interact with us during their first unit camp.

When giving feedback to cadets, I must use the sandwich method which consists of a positive feedback, area to improve and another positive feedback.

Explain and demonstrate how to do a drill before asking the cadets to execute it.

using non verbal form of communication such as maintaining eye contact, having a good body posture and an encouraging tone of voice.

I learnt about MOI which is introduction,formation, explanation, demonstration, practice.

I also learnt that we need to give postive feedback followed by things they need to work on and lastly anither positive feedback

we need to be clear so there isn't misunderstandings and everyone can get the message

Sandwich method to correct and improve our juniors drills

Learning about working together and achieving a common goal
