St John Brigade

St John Brigade (SJB) is the uniformed division of St John Singapore, dedicated to providing First Aid and Ambulance services while also nurturing youth development through our Cadet and Badger Programmes.

At Nanyang SJB, we take pride in our rich heritage of serving both the public and our school community. Our CCA focuses on three key pillars: First Aid, Home Nursing, and Foot Drill. Through our well-rounded programmes, we strive to cultivate the holistic development of our cadets, with a strong emphasis on instilling values, building character, and fostering leadership qualities. With several alumni now actively engaged in medical professions and volunteering as mentors, Nanyang St John cadets continue to receive dedicated support in their journey as first-aiders and home nursing officers.To further enrich our cadets’ learning, we collaborate with SJB HQ to offer our cadets Hospital Attachment Programme, where students gain hands-on experience in healthcare settings. Through attachments at esteemed hospitals such as National University Hospital (NUH), Raffles Hospital, Singapore General Hospital (SGH), Institute of Mental Health (IMH), and Changi General Hospital (CGH), cadets have the invaluable opportunity to learn directly from doctors and nurses. This real-world exposure deepens their understanding of healthcare practices and gives them a competitive edge should they choose to pursue a career in the medical field.

Beyond our life-saving mission, we also prioritise camaraderie, regularly organising bonding sessions and eagerly looking forward to both HQ and school annual camps. These camps—featuring activities such as hiking, campfires, and outdoor cooking—create unforgettable memories for our cadets.

Additionally, we support our cadets’ extracurricular growth through the Badges Programme, offering diverse opportunities in areas such as Community Care, Music, and Swimming, ensuring a well-rounded and enriching experience.

Come join us for an enriching experience filled with invaluable skills and cherished memories that will last a lifetime!

HEAR FROM OUR SENIORS!

“Being in St John was a really wonderful and beneficial experience for me. I got to learn how to treat different casualties in first aid, and how to empathise with and help the less abled in home nursing. Along the way I’ve also been able to forge close friendships not only with my batchmates, but with my peers from other schools through our end of year camp. St John also gives students opportunities to be on first aid duty in public, enabling me to learn more from my experiences, as well as experience the joy of helping others.”
