The Compassvale NCC (Air) Squadron was founded in 2015. As a national uniformed group, we aim to develop our cadets to be committed citizens, resourceful individuals and responsible leaders through our activities. We offers opportunities for cadets to raise their ability in critical thinking, enhance their confidence and resilience, as well as inculcate values of teamwork and responsible decision-making.
Compassvale NCC (Air) Squadron adopts a three-pronged approach in developing our cadets into world-ready youths. These include structured weekly training sessions, termly programmes organised by HQ NCC and annually CVSS NCC (Air) unit camp and Values in Action (VIA) programmes.
The structured weekly training sessions focus on skill development, physical fitness and team-bonding activities. Our NCC (Air) cadets are also given the opportunity to attend activities organised by HQ NCC, which serve to not only increase their appreciation of Singapore’s defence capabilities, but also strengthen their commitment to Singapore.
The National Cadet Corps (NCC) is a premier uniformed youth organisation supported by the Ministry of Education (MOE) of Singapore. The primary mission of the organisation is to “develop resourceful, responsible, resilient, loyal leaders and team players through fun and challenging military-related activities.” The NCC has also remained as one of the largest Uniformed Groups (UG) in Singapore.
The NCC nurtures inspiring leaders and committed citizens through fun, adventurous and military-related activities through a wide range of programmes such as the Shooting Experience where cadets have the opportunity to fire a SAR21 and TAR-21 airsoft rifle; pick up rifle spinning skills during the Precision Drill Course; learn how to kayak and take part in the Flying Experience Programme. Along with these activities, we also have a myriad of camps and courses that are conducted on the grounds of our headquarters where the facilities are utilised by such activities.
The National Cadet Corps comprises three services. These are the Land (Army), Sea (Navy) & Air (Air Force) services.
