Uniformed Groups
Boys' Brigade
Day / Time:
MONDAY: 1535 - 1800 HRS
The 74th Boys' Brigade Company started in 2000 with seven boys and now
stands at about 35 members strong. Our programme is run with the help of
Volunteer Adult Officers. We have a wide range of activities such as character
and leadership development, drills, Lifeskills, first aid, kayaking, rock
wall climbing, archery, cycling and yearly camps that help our boys learn
values to develop a character of Obedience, Discipline, Self-Respect, Integrity
and Humility. They can attain the rank of Staff Sergeant by Sec 4 or Sec
5 in their leadership journey, with numerous leadership opportunities for
the Boys. The Boys form a close sense of camaraderie and a bond of brotherhood
during their time in the company. We aim to be the Uniformed Group of choice
in Kent Ridge Secondary School. Over the years, the Boys have grown in
maturity and character and two of them were recently the valedictorians
of the Secondary 4N and 5N streams in 2020.

(THURSDAYS, when required, or when Monday is a PH)
The Girls’ Brigade's mission is to develop each girl and officer to her
fullest potential by equipping, empowering and enabling every girl to be
a leader, and every officer to be a servant leader. This is done through
the GB programme, which is meant to develop the girls' character, social-emotional
and leadership competencies. They will learn good values, be equipped with
leadership skills, and be given the opportunities to lead and serve at
home, in the company, and in their local community through planning and
executing activities such as camps and VIA activities. They can attain
the rank of Master Staff Sergeant by Sec 4 or Sec 5 in their leadership
journey, with leadership equipping and opportunities that are structured
into the yearly programme, spiralling up from Sec 1. There is an annual
competition, that alternates between the National Drill Competition and
the Low Guat Tin Challenge, that the girls can aspire to participate in.
Through passion and hardwork, the 54th Company has achieved good results
thus far. Over the years, the 54th Company of the Girls' Brigade in Kent
Ridge Secondary has grown steadily in strength with the faithful support
of the Volunteer Adult Officers. Come and join us in this GB 54th family!

The Kent Ridge Secondary School's National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) develops
our students to be active citizens and community leaders, by working in
partnership with the Singapore Police Force to fight crime and keep Singapore

progress to have experiences of being leaders as they take charge of their
juniors and events, with the ultimate goal of leading the Unit.
