Sec 2 FD(B) Accreds

Hi Sec 2s~!

On Wk 3 Wednesday, 4/4/2012, you guys will be having the FD Bronze Accreds for both theory and practical. You are expected to be in your full Red Cross Uniform (if you have missing cap badge and nametag, the seniors will be lending you).

Good luck~!

Platoon points from Monday's Training

Hello people,

after today's First Aid: One-eye Roller Bandage lesson, the Year 2s have earned more points for their platoons. Yay.

Epsilon: +40

Iota: +70

Omega: +110

Good job, Omega, for acting both parts of the competition, and we hope that everyone can learn from their first aid bandaging (no more "oi" to the casualty from you, Shawn)

Remember that when you're doing First Aid, be professional, tie your bandages with speed and make sure that they have good quality.

That's all, do remember to keep on mugging your FA! (so you can slack during lessons and still survive lol)

Evac Silver Accreditation -- Theory results

Hello cadets
Here are the list of the people who passed the theory paper for evacuation silver (yes Tian Yi you can chill now):

Kelvinder

Jun Wei

Reeve

Tian Yi

Fintan

Shawn

Adam

Forster

Siqi

Also, Reeve's the top scorer. Yay. (No wonder he's best sec 2 for march camp :P)

Anyways, good job (although it's pretty easy, honestly) and congratulations to all that passed. Yeah. And as for those who didn't, do study hard and better luck next time. Notes can all be found on http://www.theunichannel.blogspot.com so there's no reason for you to fail.

Have a nice day :)

Hi Guys~~!

Additionally, congratulations to Chew Kuan Yang for being the top scorer with 98 marks! :)

Hopefully this will motivate everyone to continue working as hard for all of their accreditations! P.S If you are unsure or still need help with any of the RC subjects being tested, don't be shy about approaching your seniors for help or guidance--they are always willing to lend you a helping hand!

(You guys can also check out the RIRC Treasure Chest--click on one of the blog icons above--if you feel you need more materials for revision)

Have a nice day--! :)

Inter-Platoon Mini-competition (19/3/12)

Hi Guys--!

Hope everyone had fun (and refreshed their memories >.<...) on Monday's training! The results for the Inter-Platoon Mini-competition held on Monday are:

Iota--50 points
Epsilon--30 points
Omega--20 points

Congratulations to Iota for being the best performing platoon for the mini-competition! However there will still be many more opportunities for you guys to earn platoon points, so don't be dispirited if you didn't win this time round and do remember to keep your platoon spirits up!

Have a nice day :) ~~!

TERM 2!!!

Hi Sec1s and 2s!

It's the start of Term 2! Hope you guys have chionged (I mean, finished, excuse me) your holiday homework, and tomorrow training resumes once again! :D Same reporting procedures and attire as in Term 1...

...but this time your Sec3s will be taking y'all for training! Hence from now onwards, a sec2 (Batch 62) will be doing the reporting at the beginning of training. Do clarify with your seniors if you are unclear of the reporting procedure :)

And hey, if you are having trouble with academic work, don't hesitate to approach us should you need help!

Point Reset

As of camp, we have reset the platoon points. Have a nice day :)

Camp!

Hi!

The standings for camp are as follows

Epsilon

Omega

Iota

Congratulations to Epsilon for having the most points and therefore awarded the best platoon for the camp!
Your prizes will be given out soon during one of the trainings

Congratulations also goes to the best sec 1 and 2, Kuan Yang and Reeve!

Enjoy the rest of your holidays!!

RCK(S) Accreds for Sec 1s + Evac(S) Accreds for Sec 2s

Hi Guys~!

During the first week of trainings of Term 2, there will be accreds being held for both Sec 1s and 2s.

They are:

RCK(S) Accreds for Sec 1s
Monday, 19/3/2012

Evac(S) Accreds for Sec 2s
Wednesday, 21/3/2012

Please do remind your other batchmates about this as well~!
Also, remember to read through the notes which can be found in the RIRC Treasure Chest (Link/Tab can be found directly above)  during the holidays~!

Good luck~!

Phoenix Questionnaire 3

Here are the results!

Epsilon : 2 responses
Iota : 1 response
Omega : 1 response

We were looking for a more original response, thus Iota wins!

I think that we should have a cheering and singing at the campfire. I think we should have cheering as that would boost the "Red Cross spirit". That will bring all the Red Cross members together. The singing will help everybody to relax and have a fun night.

Let's hope that we can cheer and sing our hearts out during the campfire.

-Aloysius

Thus
Epsilon 40 pts
Iota 60 pts
Omega 20 pts

Have a good rest before camp tomorrow!

Invictus

Sunday!

Hi all!

Hope that all of you have your flags ready, 'cause it's camp tomorrow. Rest well, finish up your work (don't chiong after camp, trust me), and see your at camp Invictus.

We are not participating as individuals, we are as a team.
This is not the power of individuals.
This is the power of togetherness.

3 platoons, 2 days, 1 VICTORY.

-George

P.S Anti-climax, but 25 points to Omega for getting a new blogskin.

Phoenix Questionnaire 3

Hi all! Here's the next question for our Phoenix Questionnaire:

What should be included and thought of when planning a campfire?

Send in your responses by Sunday, 10pm to rircb60@googlegroups.com for 20 points! Best response yields 40 points, and will be posted on the blog.

Phoenix Questionnaire 2 Results

2 posts from Epsilon, and thus the honours of 70 points will go to Epsilon! *cue applause*

Best post:

I personally feel that out of all the RCK value,impartiality is the most important as i feel it is important be impartial when doing anything, to everyone and anyone. We should not mix our personal feelings and emotions into our work and affect our judgement. Especially in a life or death situation where someone has a more serious injury, we should save that person instead of another one who has less severe injuries. We should put aside any personal grudges and be impartial for the benefit of everyone. -Jun Wei

Special mention also goes to Randy for sending in his response. Good job!

Stay tuned for the next installment :)

Blog Challenge Results

In view of the response to the blog challenge, the allocation of points have changed :

Note that the below points are in ranked order, and posts by PMs are NOT COUNTED.

- 50, 25, 5 points for number of people who posted
- 40, 20, 10 points for posts on tagboard / comments
- 45, 25, 15 points for appearance of blog skin
- 15 points for existence of mixpod
- 10 points for each picture posted
- 25 points for each video posted
- 15 points for each post on RC Subject (can be anything)
- Bonus 5 points per Sec 1 (union of Sec 1s)

Thus, points are as follows:

Omega : 50 + 40 + 15 + 15 + 20 + 30 + 10 = 180
Epsilon : 5 + 20 + 45 + 25 = 95
Iota : 25 + 10 + 25 + 10 + 5 = 75

Good job everyone! Short note: Please make an attempt to get a new blogskin, as we know that all the blogskins are not by you guys. Thus, we will award 25 points to whichever platoon which shows the initiative to get a new blogskin. Thanks, and good luck.

Phoenix Blog Challenge Update

After reviewing the blogs for the first time, we find that most of the posts on the blogs are made by the platoon mentors. This should not be the case.

The blogs are by you, for you. It is a way for you to do with your platoon mates what you cannot face to face. It is a means of bonding, for a more cohesive platoon overall.

SO, we would like to see more active participation from you guys. We hope we have made ourselves clear. Anyway good job to Andrew and Tian Yi for visiting the blogs :)

Here are the current projected standings:

Iota
Epsilon
Omega

Keep the posts coming :D

Phoenix Questionnaire 2

Each valid response will be worth 10 points, and the top response will be worth 50 points, and will be posted on the blog. Deadline will be 7th March, Wednesday, 9.30 pm.
