History
Fairfield’s NCC Unit started in 1968 as a Girls Unit, which was eventually closed in 1982. It restarted in 1985 as a Boys Unit, and we have grown strength to strength since then as an esteemed uniformed group. Our Unit is especially proud of our Precision Drill Squad (PDS) which has attained commendable results in HQ NCC competitions thus far. This stands testament to the unwavering commitment of our NCC (Land) Cadets, Cadet Officers and Teacher Officers to the continual growth of our Unit and our Corps.
Highlights
School-based Activities
Our weekly Friday trainings consist of physical training, sports and games, foot drills and the teaching of Individual Field Craft to equip our cadets with basic military knowledge. Our Wednesday trainings are for Secondary 2 and 3 cadets to train to be part of our esteemed Precision Drill Squad.
Apart from usual trainings, we organise activities for our cadets to allow them to experience the outdoors and learn more about Singapore. The main highlights are camps which are organised by our Secondary 3 Cadet Leaders:
- March Orientation Camp
- June Camp
- End-of-Year Camp
NCC (Land) Cadets have had the opportunity over the years to participate in other activities during trainings or camps, including:
- Orienteering at Gardens by the Bay
- Night Cycling at East Coast Park
- Dragon Boating and One-Star Kayaking Certification
- Bubble Soccer at Kallang
- Values-in-action Projects
