AKE Prep 02 (20060218)

The 2nd prep for AKE was held on Feb 18, 2006 (Saturday) at Sembawang STC.

AKE Prep for the LSTC Cluster included:
1. Assumption English Sec Sch
2. Ahmad Ibrahim Sec Sch
3. Compassvale Sec Sch
4. Juying Sec Sch
5. Orchid Park Sec Sch
6. Presbyterian High Sch

In the morning, the cadets were required to canoe to the Causeway and back. While the cadets were covered by 3 safety boats, they were also covered by "sweepers" (CLTs and Snr Specs) who worked to ensure that cadets did not stray too far from the main group.

For the afternoon, the original plan to canoe to Seletar Island was scrapped in favour of building water confidence for the eventual Mini-Expeditiona and AKE.
Split into two groups, the cadets had to practice their capsize and recovery drill.
Also, some of the cadets were made to practice swimming with their canoes, from the observation pontoon to shore.

Bends and Hitches, and physical conditioning exercises were taught to the cadets so that they are mentally and physically ready for the Mini-Expedition and AKE.

Here is a snapshot of the activity from that day.
