It is compulsory for the secondary one cadets to come for this training or at least leave after the accreditation because if they miss this, they most probably won’t be able to take this again.

Also take note that those who are absent without valid reason will be dealt with severely as without 75% attendance, your CCA point for the year will be annulled. This is the rule set by the school, not us.

Please study for the accreditation as this is the easiest accreditation to pass.
