Northland Girl Guides is committed to helping our members reach their full potential and empowering them to become adaptable, confident young women. In 2024, we embraced meaningful opportunities to uphold our core values of giving our best, even in the face of challenges. Through REAL (Relevant, Engaging, Accessible, Learner-led) and sustainable programmes, we continually innovate and strive for excellence. A highlight of the year was hosting the North Division Learning Day (NDLD), where over 200 Brownies and Guides from 19 schools participated in workshops led by our Brownie and Guide Leaders. This experience allowed our girls to step out of their comfort zones, honing their leadership skills while being gracious hosts to their fellow Guides and Brownies.
We are also proud to have been awarded the Puan Noor Aishah Award (PNAA) – Silver for 2023, a testament to our dedication. Northland Girl Guides will continue preparing all guides for life, fostering the school values of Respect, Responsibility, and Resilience.
In 2024, Northland Secondary School's NCC Land and NCC Air units merged to form the Northland NCC Air Squadron, continuing to offer cadets a diverse range of opportunities including experiential learning, leadership development, aviation-based courses, and VIA activities. This year, three of our cadets had the honour of marching in the NCC contingent at the National Day Parade (NDP) at Padang. Our cadets have also benefitted from various programmes such as overseas expeditions and cadet exchange opportunities. Notably, LCP Aiden Ong (2 Orion) earned the Advanced Aeromodelling Wing after completing his course at Republic Polytechnic. Our cadets participated in the annual NCC Sports Challenge and took part in Flight Experience Programmes, flying on aircraft such as the C-130, Fokker-50, MRTT, and Chinook, further deepening their interest in aviation.
Leadership development remains a key focus of our training programme. Under the guidance of our student leaders, cadets participated in weekly training sessions, the combined UG camp, and received valuable mentorship. As we move forward, we are confident that the Northland NCC Air Squadron and its cadets will continue to soar to new heights.
The National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) is dedicated to developing leadership qualities, strong character, and instilling civic, social, and moral values in our cadets.
Key NPCC activities include the Area Games Day, the 0.22 Shooting Competition, and various experiential courses such as Unarmed Tactics. Our cadets also participate in the NPCC Camp Resilience at the Adventure Training Camp (ATC) in Pulau Ubin, where they strengthen their confidence, character, and leadership abilities through outdoor learning. The camp offers a range of activities designed to enhance leadership skills in a challenging environment, including tent pitching, team-building games, and a land expedition across Pulau Ubin.
Through these diverse experiences, we aim to instill the core values of resilience, integrity, service, and excellence in our cadets, helping them grow into responsible and compassionate citizens with a strong sense of purpose and commitment to serving the community.
