Communication with NCOs

Hi,

Some of you sec 1s may be confused or unsure about communicating with NCOs (your sec 4s). For example, if you need to skip training, who should you contact? Or if you're unhappy about how your batchmates are treating you, who should you tell?

Here are the avenues of communication you have:
  1. Facebook - for now, please don't add any NCOs as friends on Facebook. We'll add you into our RIRC Facebook group after March camp (at the end of which you'll be officially initiated into RIRC, and get your unit t-shirts). But after March camp, you can just talk to any of us on Facebook about anything. There's no need to be scared of us - we will not pump you or punish you during trainings for what you say to us on Facebook. 
  2. The blog - there's a chatbox on the blog (on the right panel). You can talk about anything you want on the chatbox, but please avoid totally irrelevant topics or spamming, since it will make it difficult for us to find relevant comments. We'll also be posting most important updates and announcements on the blog (such as the dates of special events, camps, etc.).
  3. Email - we have a batch email, rircb61@googlegroups.com. Please send any queries you may have to this email (especially if you don't want your friends or seniors to read what you say). We generally use this email to collate responses for events/competitions and such as well.
  4. Contact list - it's in a link on the right panel (some way down). It contains the contact details of everyone in the unit. Please do not spread this. The information there is private. You can send personal emails to any of us NCOs if you have really private matters to talk about (but really, just use  Facebook, if you have it).
  5. Teachers - if you ever need to contact teachers for any matters, here are their emails:
    1. Mr Tok Wei Sin - weisin.tok@ri.edu.sg
    2. Ms Ruhana Hashim - ruhana.hashim@ri.edu.sg
    3. Ms Wan Yao - yao.wan@ri.edu.sg
    4. Ms Chen Haiqin - haiqin.chen@ri.edu.sg
IMPORTANT: Regarding attendance matters, Samuel (our vice-chairman) will be talking to you about it on another day. There are some protocols to follow with regard to this, because we take attendance very seriously.

Thanks. If you still have any questions, feel free to ask on the chatbox or comment on this post.
