Henderson Secondary School's CCA Orientation

The 79th Coy and Henderson Secondary School held its annual CCA Orientation on the 9th of Jan 2009!

Together with all the other CCAs in Henderson Secondary School, Sec 1 students were treated to an interactive and information experience through booths displays and live demonstrations by the SJAB and NCDCC CCAs.

Our BB Boys also enlisted the help of Mr Raymond from BB HQ who helped demonstrated and set up the Archery Display at our Booths.

In addition, Sec 1 students were attached to a particular CCA for one hour to experience the daily operational aspects of each CCA during that time.

We at the 79th Coy hope that we are able to communicate the values and activities that the BB holds dear as well as carry out for the year 2009.

Sure & Stedfast!
