Sea Survival Course

Background

In January 2002, Springfield Secondary School became one of the first two schools in Singapore to form an NPCC (Sea) unit that provides maritime-based training to cadets. One key component of the challenging maritime programme is the Sea Survival Training Course. After learning basic sea survival skills through this course, cadets would then be allowed to participate in other sea activities such as the Navigation Sortie and Rafting.

In March this year, a fresh new batch of Secondary One cadets from Springfield Secondary School joined cadets from four other sea units in attending the day-long Sea Survival Course at Loyang Regional Base, Police Coast Guard.

At this course, cadets learnt how to deploy life rafts, throw life buoys and jump off the jetty into the sea safely. They got the opportunity to do the jetty jump and climb on board an actual life raft!
