Today is the 40th birthday of Maris Stella High School NPCC Unit.
40 years have since passed when the unit first started. Thousands of cadets have come and went.
A parent asked MQ and me at the CCA Maze today if the the high standards set by the unit (7 years consecutive gold) means cadets will be doing poorly in their studies, and i replied that it actually helps them in their time management if they put in effort.
She was surprised when she realised that both of us were ex cadets from the school.
Maybe that very fact was more than any explanation or convincing in the world: we were living examples of the excellence that we were advertising.
What kind of CCA would prompt ex cadets to come back and serve more than 10 years after graduation?
Will we carry on to be what we used to be?
