Evacuation (B) accreditations results

Hi,

Here are the results for the accreditations:

James, Kuan Yang, Harish and Jack passed the theory paper (15/19).
Everyone else failed.

No platoon points will be awarded for the theory results.

For practical, everyone passed except Jared.

Top scorers for the practical are Yu Chen, Chang Yi and Kuan Yang with 72/79. 
50 points will be awarded to Epsilon and 25 to Omega.

The overall top scorer is Kuan Yang, with 87/98. 25 more points will be awarded to Epsilon.

Don't worry about the theory results. We'll go through the theory again with you (after EOYs) and then take the paper again (but 6 more questions will be added (because 6 were voided for this paper)).

Inter UG games

Hi guys,

As mentioned earlier, there will be inter-UG games on T4W1 Wednesday.

The 6 events are the half-marathon, soccer, basketball. frisbee, captain's ball and floorball. All events need at least 5 participants except for the half-marathon which needs 14, not including reserves


Since we will be short-handed (sec 3s need to referee some games, people ponning), most likely everyone will have to participate in a game.

As such, please send in ur top 3 choices for the inter-UG games so that we can assign you to the respective sports. If we do not receive anything, we will assign you any of the games that are lacking people. You will need to email your respective platoon mentors to state your choices.

Epsilon: sec 1s - Yimin sir (zhangyiminzhang@yahoo.com.sg)
               sec 2s - Jian Xing sir (jxjianxing@gmail.com)
Iota: sec 1s - Brendon sir (brendon_yeo97@hotmail.com)
        sec 2s - David sir (david_wwj@hotmail.com)
Omega Daniel sir (daniel.limwe@hotmail.com)

Please email your choices by tomorrow 2359

We have reminded you guys to submit your excuse forms weeks ago. However, we have not received many excuses from you guys.

Please note that those who have not handed in their excuse forms, please do so by next week Monday.
This is to ensure that when you are absent, your absence is accounted for.

(Also, your Promotions will be held in November Camp, so please ensure you have a good attendance record!)

Here are the attendance records. Orange highlights mean that you have not given a hardcopy of your excuse for the trainings/events that you were absent, green means you have, and red means that you do not have a valid excuse.

Paparazzi Photos! (4)

Hey RIRC,

Today, I was again observing you all during training. Again, I was impressed with some of the good behavior  which everyone should follow. In order to reward these deserving cadets, I have decided to award more platoon points! Here are some photos which I took:


In this picture, you see Year 1 Cadet Aloysius raising his hand to answer a question. This should be the way you all raise your hands to answer questions! 20 Points to Iota!


Here, we have Year 2 Cadet Jun Wei. He was spotted sitting up straight and paying attention to the Sirs who were conducting lessons. 20 Points to Epsilon!


Another Year 2 Cadet Gavin was also seen sitting up straight during a lesson today. 20 Points to Iota!


During Footdrill today, Year 2 Cadet Adam was seen in Senang-Diri. From this photo, you can see that the positions of his hands and fingers are excellent, forming a V-shape. Good job! 20 Points to Epsilon!

Do stay tuned for my next post! Until then...

CPR Resources

Hi All!!

Regarding the CPR lesson, some of the sec 2s have asked us to put the steps for CPR online.

If you guys need to find out the steps for CPR, you can find them on the emergency action plan found on treasure chest.

Here is the direct link:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34928922/FA/Emergency%20Action%20Plan.pdf

Also, you can take a look at this CPR checklist. It has been taken from the CPR examiner's rubrics, so the examiners use this points for marking.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/850272/CPR%20Checklist.doc

If you have any other questions of CPR, please raise them to any of the FA specs.

SFA is coming up, and please do work hard!! You guys will only get one shot at it for this year!

Epsilon platoon CIP

Hi, 
 
This is a post on behalf of Epsilon again.
 
We are going to Bishan Home for the Intellectually Disabled for a home visit. During the visit, we will engage in some simple activities and games with the residents to cheer them up.
Date: 17 August 2012, Friday
Meet at: Canteen, 2pm
Dismissed at: Raffles Institution, 5pm
Attire: School Uniform
Things to bring: Water bottle and valuables (leave your bags in school)
First of all, some suggestions when you are there:
  • If the people approach you threateningly, don't be frightened. Just lightly grab their wrists and "dance" with them. They will most probably get distracted and leave.
  • If they ask questions you cannot answer such as "Will I ever go home?" or "Will my parents come visit me?", you must divert their attention by leading them to activities or changing the subject.
  • If the people hit you, they are probably just beckoning to you. This is because their sense of touch is impaired and they feel that by hitting you, they are actually just tapping you. You cannot be scared and run away, just tell them kindly that if they want to beckon to you, just tap your hand.
  • If the people want to go to the toilet, inform the staff that will be present there.
  • If anything serious happens, tell the staff
For the 1.5 hours we have to engage them in activities, we have come up with 2 activities
Firstly, we will have station games including throwing ping pong ball into buckets, mini bowling, transferring water from one station to another
If this is a disaster, we will have musical chairs
If the station games fails and we have too much time, we will give out paper and ask the people to colour them. After that, we will show the people how to fold paper planes and then guide them through it slowly. Following that, we will ask them to throw the planes.
After that, we can end the activities and allow the residents to leave. We will then conduct debrief and clear up
This is a compulsory event and attendance will be taken. Absence without valid reason will not be tolerated.

Remember to submit your excuses to the batch group followed by hard copy of the excuse form to the sirs if you are unavailable on that day.

Newspaper collection

Hi everyone,

(This is a repost for easy reference).

Please report at the Main Atrium in your PE attire or unit t-shirt at 8am.

There is no need to bring anything except for your water bottle and consent form (which we will be giving to you on Monday or Wednesday).

The event will last until approximately 2pm.

We will basically be going from flat to flat in the HDB blocks opposite RI (blocks 101 to 116).

If you are unable to make it to this event (or have to leave early/come late), please email your excuses to our batch group, rircb61@googlegroups.com, or pass your excuses to us next Monday.

Thursday, August 2, 2012

Attendance

Hi Cadets,

From now on, whenever you have missed trainings, you are expected to submit an excuse form (in hardcopy) the following training. Also attach a hardcopy of your reasons why you were absent (e.g. medical certificate, teacher's letter).

Here is the form that you guys need to use


This will take place immediately. Those who have already submitted an excuse for the days you were absent need not submit again. If you know you were absent on one of the trainings/events, please submit it ASAP. This is for your own good as we are not able to track whether you have a valid reason for missing training.

Newspaper collection consent form

Hi guys,

Here's the link to the consent form. Sorry for posting it up so late.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/kxuyzri455j07ch/Newspaper%20collection.tif

Please download it, print it out, sign it and then bring it to school on Saturday.

Also, please be reminded to send your excuses to the batch group, rircb61@googlegroups.com, if you will be absent on that day, stating your reasons.

Paparazzi Photos (1)

Dear all,

During training today, I observed many cadets displaying good behavior and proficiency! I am impressed and decide to show you some photos which I have taken. I have decided that these cadets deserve platoon points for their platoons.

Year 2 Cadet Reeve displayed his excellent "hentak" technique where his legs are raised to 90 degrees. 10 Points to Omega


This is another example of good technique. Year 2 Cadet Andrew raises his legs up to 90 degrees during footdrill lessons. 10 Points to Iota


During Evacuation Lesson, Year 1 Cadet Benjamin was swift and quick in executing evacuation methods. Swiftness is essential is casualty evacuation! 10 Points to Omega


Year 2 cadets in squad formation. Look how smart and confident they look when they do not fidget in squad!


During Evacuation Lesson, Year 1 Cadet Yu Chen provided support for his batchmates when they needed help in executing evacuation methods! 10 Points for Epsilon

Good job everyone! Until next time, see ya!
