Consent forms will be issued for the remaining 9 sessions from 27 March up to the actual day of the parade, 30 May 2009.

CCA points will be given to cadets who are representing KC in the NCDCC Day Parade. HQ will provide new uniforms and NCDCC t-shirt to participants including Sec 1 cadets. However, cadets will miss two school events, namely, Meet-the-Parents session and Family Day. Please inform your parents and form teacher.

Cadets are to send SMS to Capt Lim before 7 a.m. on the training day that they are absent. NCDCC HQ officers will accept valid reasons such as MCs, RHYA activity, 2-star kayaking course and go back to Indonesia. Please do not bring more than $10 or wear jewellery / watch. Hair must be neat (wear a hair net if you have long hair), polish your boots, starch & iron your uniform. Be prepared for the tough training ahead! If you are NOT willing to take up the challenge, please inform Capt Lim as the opportunity will be given to new recruits.
