Training Programme 

Yuhua NCDCC provides opportunities for our cadets to hone their leadership and communication skills while serving the school through the administering of first aid during school events such as Sports Day and Emergency Evacuation Exercises. Additionally, our cadets serve as Civil Defence ambassadors, raising awareness about emergency preparedness through community engagement and school outreach programmes.

Our cadets are provided with authentic learning opportunities to acquire Civil Defence knowledge through visits to notable sites like the Civil Defence Heritage Gallery and Civil Defence shelters. The cadets put their skills to the test by participating in events organised by the Home Team Academy, including the Urban Adventure Challenge and Precision Drill Competition.

Young cadets in blue uniforms and black berets wave Singapore flags and cheer enthusiastically.
