A condolence letter, in memory of Gabriel of 4 Sincerity '07

Dear family members, friends, classmates & schoolmates of Gabriel


Gabriel, like all of us, is a member of a Uniformed Group, the Scouts. We are deeply saddened to hear the news about his passing on 24 August. Besides remembering him fondly, our thoughts are also with you during this difficult time. He was a cheerful and supportive person to be around. We will miss seeing him on campus.

We remember the time when Gabriel kindly rendered his assistance to our preparations to host visitors from Liaoning Province Experimental School a year ago, in August 2006. His reassuring presence enabled us to hold an incident-free event.

We know you will miss Gabriel greatly. During this difficult time, we know you will draw upon your own strength and the strength of loved ones that hold you in their thoughts. You have our deepest sympathy. Remember, H.I.H.S. is filled with people who care about you and are thinking about you in this difficult time of sorrow.


Holding you in our thoughts

Calling all aspiring writers!

I am seeking cadets who are keen to pen articles that will be published in the 2nd issue of Team Resilience, our bi-annual Unit publication. You don't have to be fantastic with words, believe me.

A sense of urgency will probably do wonders! ;)


Anyway, here are some possible topics:

> NPCC Area 7 Adventure Training Camp '07

> Our semi-final against Pasir Ris Crest SS

> Campcraft Training under CI Joey Pear


Last but not least, your article may even make it to NPCC Magazine December 2007...who knows? So drop me an email at npcchihs@hotmail.com (that's the Unit's new Hotmail address and MSN contact) if you wish to contribute to the Unit through your words.

Our success on 18 August 2007

As usual, I'm pleased to present the following result and respective team members (in alphabetical order):


2nd place, Inter-unit Captain's Ball Competition organised by East View Secondary School

Team Members: Daniel, Eugene, Jin Hao, Kai Xin, Nigel, Shao Kiat, Shirley & Woei Jiun


This means that the Number 1 position has eluded us once again...so we'll just have to try HARDER next time!


Last but not least, we're proving to be an NPCC Captain's Ball powerhouse in the region (Area 7) and country. My not-so-humble opinion, of course! :P

OC Junior~

Yes. As some of you have already known that OC Junior is born already. Both Mrs Chang and baby are healthy and having a good time at home. I only managed to show the photos to some of my teaching classes. Here are two to share.

Btw, he's called Hongli (Hanyu Pinyin) and reaching his 1st month soon.

National Day

Dear Cadets,

National Day has always been important to all of us in one way or another. This is especially for those who have a chance to participate in the school's parade. The TOs, CIs and SNCOs had been there to see your progress in drill standards for every rehearsal and the actual parade.

The Guards-of-Honour contingent will be rotated among other UGs from this year onwards to signify that you are all HIHS students regardless of which UG. This year, the St. John G.O.H. contingent has performed with good standards, no lower than ours in previous years. Nevertheless, NPCC cadets took up other important roles such as the flag bearer i/c and left/right salute markers. And most importantly, our contingent has shown that they are capable of G.O.H. standards.

Things to look out for:

1. There will be one more parade this year which will be the Passing-out-Parade. Arms drill is expected so be prepared to do your best.
   
   
2. The bi-annual Campcraft competition will be held next year. If I didn't remember wrongly, we got into top twenties in 2006. So that is our target, to acheive top twenty and above in 2008. Keeping that in mind, I have extended the service of CI Joey Pear, allowing him to train you in what he is best at.
