Laying foundations , Realising dreams

The National Cadet Corps ( Air ) was established in 1956 in order to train our youth and expose them to military and aviation hardware so that they would be able to pursue their interests in these areas . It has subsequently undergone various NCC Transformation Masterplans in tandem with various societal and educational changes , incorporating National Education , leadership and values education . Despite these changes , our aim in SJI remains fundamentally the same – to instill values in our cadets and prepare them with skills to meet challenges so that they can be successful contributing citizens in the future .

The effectiveness of our programme is evident in the successful careers of many of our ex-cadets . Godwin Tong , CSM 2006 and a former Cadet Lieutenant , was an officer who served in the Republic of Singapore Air force , specialising in ground based air defence weapon systems .
