Upcoming External CPBS Courses and June Camp

Dear cadets,

Please take note of the upcoming external CPBS Courses and June Camp dates. You can try to keep these dates free before you go for June holidays.

St John June Camp

3 June (Fri) 2.30pm to 4 June (Sat) 4.30pm for all Sec 1s, 2s and 3s. Reason for the camp on these dates is because fasting month starts on 6 June. As most of the Sec 3s will have June vacation lessons from 30 May to 3 June, we wanted a date that is inclusive and before fasting month. We also want to give a longer June holidays for everyone as the next 3 weekends will be quite packed (Flag Day/ Counting Day/ CPR-AED/ SOTA FA Duty/ Boys Brigade FA Duty). We are also expecting a busy term 3 and 4 for Sec 2s and 3 (NCOC/ Nat Comp/ BGI Training).

CCA will step down on 9 April for SA1. It will resume on 18 May. Thank you.

One of our SJAB cadet will also be featured in the PUB Corporate video this Saturday.

On behalf of the teachers, I will also like to say a big thank you to everyone, NCOs and cadets for the many hours of GM and post GM hours of hardwork and pride displayed in doing a good job. 

No doubt this can be a stressful project, especially the pressure of meeting the expectations of the school, community and PUB. But I am touched by the fact that you persevered on and see this level of pressure as a new learning experience. Keep up the good work and the friendship. It is what Anderson St John Brigade is all about. 

Thank you very much and have a great World Water Day. Look forward to joining you in full brigade field uniform as well this Sat.

Regards

Mr Yong
