During the March Holidays, members of the 79th Coy came together for the annual LDC 1 Camp that was held in Henderson Secondary.

The main objective of the Leadership Camp is to lay a basic foundation of leadership within the context of small squad management. The Boys are introduced to fundamental topics such as Different Leadership Styles, Basic Qualities of a Leader and Upfront Speaking during classroom-based activities. In addition, the Boys were broken up into small squads to facilitate the traininer in assessing them on various squad assignments given to them.


Individual Boys as well as the squad in general were graded on the planning, organisation and implementation of various camp activities such as Inter-Squad Games, Meals Management, Area Cleaning etc. Officers will debrief the Boys upon completion of their projects and also offer suggestions on areas for improvement.


In addition, a promption ceremony for the Sec 2 - 4 Boys was held to honour their efforts that they have invested in the Year 2008. It was also a time to thank Officer Peng Kiat for his hardwork in the 79th Coy as he leaves us for Missionary work abroad. We also bid farewell to Rio who will be leaving us as he prepares to follow his family back to the Philippines later on this month.
