Yue Howe
Jian Xing
Hethav
Vijay
Vikaesh
Rayner
Yi Cheng
Daniel
Nirmeet
Brendon
Jeremiah
Alfonse

Note that all of you stated above will have to retake the entire evacuation bronze accreds, regardless of whether you have passed just a portion of the accreds last year or not.
The accreds will be held on week 6 friday, from 1.30pm after school to 3.30pm (tentatively). Those who cannot make it please inform the sec 4s in one way or another (email, phone, face to face).
For those who are sure you have passed a portion of the accreds, don't be disheartened. Just treat the test as a refresher and if you have been paying attention for the evac lessons, you should have no problem.
Best of luck!

Attendance Matters

Hello everyone,

Please remember to follow the procedures regarding attendance for training. The procedure is the same as before:

1. Those who are not able to come for a certain training due to a pre-planned event (e.g. surgery, Merit CCA, etc) must produce an excuse letter or MC (photocopies allowed) with the training excuse form personally to either Li Hong or Vatsal(for this coming week) before that training itself.
2. Those who are sick and absent from school on Monday or Wednesday, or are sick in the middle of that school day (and then leave school), call Li Hong or Vatsal. Submit the training excuse form together with the MC (photocopies allowed).
3. Those who are sick (e.g. indigestion) and would like to leave school at 1515, proceed to the SR Block, and report to Jeremy, who will assess the condition and decide whether or not you may leave training. Submit the training excuse form.

We are taking very seriously those who skip training without following the proper procedure. Failure to follow the proper procedure and skip training will result in you being considered absent for that training in question. Remember that attendance counts heavily in your promotion, and is a good indication of your commitment to the unit and your self-discipline. Same goes for competition supports and all other events (refer to Points 1 and 2). If there are any queries on the attendance reporting procedures, please feel free to clarify.

For those who were unable to attend CAC support, please submit your training excuse form together with proper documentation by Monday (19 July).

Also, please take note what does or does not constitute as a suitable reason for not attending training or an event. As you should know, the training excuse form requires a form of written proof (e.g. teacher's letter for RE/project matters, parent's letter for personal matters, MC for ailments, etc). Unless supported by a teacher's letter, project meetings are not an excuse for not coming.

Tshrt Money

Hi all! Please bring $16 for your unit tshirt tomorrow for training. Training wil commence after your science stuff, so please report at 430pm at raja block as usual.

Oh, and here's the RIRC gang at Batam :D
