In the year 2008, the Dunman National Police Cadet Corps made its mark on several fronts. The most prestigious of which was when, for the 2nd time in the Unit’s history, it was presented with the much coveted Gold Award in the annual Unit Overall Proficiency Award for 2007. Not only was it a source of encouragement, it further affirmed that the hard work of both cadets and teachers had not been in vain. In addition, this gave the Secondary 3 cadets the opportunity to be the Guard of Honour at the School’s Annual Speech and Prize Giving Day.

On another note, 3 of the unit’s current stable of Cadet Inspectors received special mention during the School’s Annual Speech Day Celebrations for outstanding academic performance— Shawn Poh, Aaron Poh and Poh Kah Hwee have truly made the unit and its many cadets proud. Such exemplary performance was reinforced further when Aaron was named Distinctive Dunmanite of 2007— an honour bestowed on the truly worthy.

One of the challenges for the year was the National Campcraft Competition. Both Boys and Girls teams trained hard for it. Not only were they encouraged by the team work that was apparent at each of the sessions, they also learned important lessons  and managed to push their individual teams to even greater heights.

Another landmark event in 2008 was the unit’s Annual Camp. Though it was held under tight constraints, the organizing committee—made up of the Secondary 3 leaders—worked together to bring much joy to the cadets. Not only were there ample opportunities for the juniors and seniors to interact, exchange skills and work together, the camp saw both cadets and teachers actively involved in a common project. The cadets left for home in high spirits and the Secondary 3 cadets were very much encouraged by the invaluable feedback and learning opportunities.

During the September holidays both the secondary 2s and 3s attended their respective Adventure Training Camps at the Pulau Ubin Campsite. Though it was brief—3 days 2 nights, it was evident that the students enjoyed themselves tremendously. They were provided with numerous opportunities to interact with peers from other schools in the area and experience what it truly felt like to camp in the open in tents they had worked together with their team-mates to put up. Jetty jumps, canoeing sessions and treasure hunts were only a sample of some of the activities painstakingly planned for them.

The MISSION of the National Police Cadet Corps is to develop its cadets into caring and responsible citizens.

The VISION of the National Police Cadet Corps is to mould the builders of a safe & secure home.

In accordance with our mission and vision, our unit ensure the growth of the cadets by exposing them to challenging environment such as giving them opportunites to organise Annual Camps and take part in HQ and area competitions. These in turn imbibe them with leadership qualities and strong character.

Besides participating in the various competitions, the cadets had an opportunity to do overseas community work during the November holidays. The overseas trip also include outdoor adventure activities like cave climbing, water rafting and trekking etc.

Due to our association with the Singapore Police Force, the unit also hope to enlighten the cadets on the duty  of a responsible Singapore citizen by involving all cadets to take part in compulsory projects such as the Crime Prevention Project and Joint Neighbourhood Service Day

Through our various activities and training programme, we seek further development of the skills and values that we believe our cadets should cultivate. These include team work and team spirit, physical and mental endurance, persistence, self-discipline, independent learning, tolerance, respect and integrity amongst others.
