Himara - 2012 June Camp

June (or rather, May) camp. 30 May - 1 June 2012 (Wednesday to Friday).

See you there! :D

-Yi Cheng

Camp dates

Just as a reminder, the dates for June Camp are from 30th May til 1st June. This is a pretty early reminder, so there shouldn't be much of a reason why you can't attend camp unless you really have something else pre-scheduled/something more important (merit CCA, family outings and the like don't count) or an emergency.
Hope to see you at camp cos it's gonna be reaaaaal fun :)
Himara!

Hello cadets! Hope your Friday was good (hurrhurr)
After a long break, the much awaited (or not) phoenix questionnaire returns!

Today's Question is:

Why do you think we practice footdrill?

Each valid response is worth 10 platoon points, while the best response will be awarded 50 platoon points, and we will post it on the blog.

Do send in your responses by 9th April, Monday, 10pm to rircb61@googlegroups.com (Sec 3s cannot answer)

Enjoy the rest of the holidays :P

Results for Footdrill (Bronze) Accreditations for Year 2s

Hi!

Hope you enjoyed your accreds (and the soccer afterwards :P) today.

As you know, everyone passed the theory paper.

There are 10 top scorers (all got 19/20):

• Fintan
• Reeve
• Jun Wei
• Andrew
• Gavin
• Yu Jun
• Tianyi
• Shawn
• Kelvinder
• Kim

The lowest score was only 16/20, so good job! :D

As for the uniform inspection, the following cadets passed:

• Li Yuan
• Forster
• Gavin
• Reeve
• Jun Wei
• Shawn
• Yu Jun
• Tian Yi
• Kelvinder
• Fintan
• Xinghao

The top scorer was Kelvinder.

For practical, these cadets passed:

• Li Yuan
• Forster
• Gavin
• Fintan
• Jun Wei
• Reeve
• Kelvinder
• Shawn

Shawn was the top scorer.

As for Adam, Jia Cheng, Andrew and Kim, you will have to come next Wednesday with your full uniform if you wish to retake the accreditations. This also applies for those who were absent today (Mahesh and Sakthivel).

For those who failed, don't be discouraged. We will revise with you next Wednesday before the re-accreditations. All of you will have to retake the Uniform Inspection and Practical. You do not have to retake the theory paper.

Congratulations to Shawn, Kelvinder, and all those who topped theory! We'll be awarding 25 points to Epsilon and 15 points to Iota in recognition for these top scorers' efforts (as for theory, there are so many top scorers it won't matter anyway).

For those who need help in seasoning their beret, you can make use of this video done by UnIChannel (the link on the top right):

Good night, and good luck to those taking their re-accreditations!

-Yi Cheng

Platoon points update

Hi guys,
After some intense competition during Monday's Evac and FA lesson for Sec 1s, the platoons have each earned:

Epsilon: 100 pts
Iota: 130 pts
Omega: 100 pts

Good job, Iota (woooo), and hopefully, all of you have captured the skills taught in the lesson.

In other matters...
Sec 2s, your FD accreds are tomorrow so do remember to prepare and bring your full RC uniform. The Sec 3s will be lending you their name tags and cap badges. Good luck.

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)

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

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 :)

Iota--50 points
Epsilon--30 points

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.

Get ready for the camp and have fun~! May the best platoon win~! :)

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

Hi all~ A bit late but here it is!

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.

Thanks, and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Phoenix Blog Challenge 1

Hi all.

Ever wondered what the uses are for your platoon blogs? Here they are now!

From today until the 10th of march, we will be observing the three platoon blogs. These will be a breakdown of the points:

If a post is made everyday by a different person everyday from tomorrow until the 10th of march, 50 points will be awarded. Note that the posts must be of sufficient relevance to our lives (ie no posts saying stuff like yesnoyesno for the entire post) and must not contain sensitive issues. If there are not enough people, you may repeat.

If the tagboard is actively updated everyday (we must be able to see DISCUSSIONS), 50 points will be awarded.

Blogskin and appearance - If we see a nice new blogskin (custom made ones), we will give either 30, 40 or 50 points depending on whether it is presentable.

Special point section:
- Posts related to Red Cross subjects, humour (NO DARK HUMOUR ALLOWED), or how to handle daily issues (such as the latest post on "stress") will be awarded 5 points each*
- Videos of platoon mates in action (only on RC subjects, such as knot tying and bandage tying, and video must be >1 minute) will be awarded 10 points each (must be of at least 1 minute)*
- Pictures of platoon mates will be awarded 5 points each (no repeating the same person)*
- Multimedia such as podcasts, if working (with proper music) will be awarded 20/30 points

*Get one IC from each platoon to compile and send to rircb60@googlegroups.com. Only 1 final submission is allowed.

Year 3s can also participate.

That's all, and have fun :)

Tagboard

Hi!

This is just reminder, when you post anything on the tagboard, please put your real name for easy identification.

And please do not spam. Thanks! :)

RCK(B) Accreds + New Syllabus Notes

Hi Guys~!

For Sec 1s only:

There will be a Red Cross Knowledge (Bronze) Accreditation coming up this Wednesday, 29/2/2012. Just read through the notes and have a basic understanding of the concepts~! Good luck~!

For everyone:

As you all know, a new syllabus for all Red Cross Subjects has been released. As such, new notes have been created by HQ. From now on, please refer to these new notes as the accreditations and lessons will be based on them.

The notes can be downloaded from: http://www.redcross.org.sg/articles/red-cross-youth-subject-manuals-cadets/

Please note that the RIRC Treasure Chest will be under maintenance for this whole week, so that the notes can be updated.

IPC FD!

Hi everyone,

On Week 10 Monday's training, 5 March 2011, there will be an inter-platoon footdrill competition being held. This is something RIRC hasn't tried for a long time, but we hope it would be as exciting as last year's IPC FA. In the meantime, do enjoy your weekends and prepare yourselves!

May the best platoon win!

Phoenix Questionnaire 1

First Aid

Hi all

Would just like to extend a reminder for all to use their free time to brush up their FA skills, so as to not suffer too much during the weeks before the SFA test (for Sec 2s) and so as to allow everyone to have a head start in the most basic subject in Red Cross.

Cheers!

-George

Wednesday 15 February

In view of Mr Paul Lim's announcement, training will resume on Wednesday. We apologise for the confusion in matters because there was some confusion too, as to when Take 5 would end for the staff.

And of course 15 Feb is TOTAL DEFENCE DAY!! Do take this opportunity to reflect on how we all play a role in Singapore's defence, and how Red Cross can help out.

For total defence parade that day, ALL RIRC members are to wear their uniform (with the exception of a few Sec3s who have indicated missing uniform parts) and be on the parade square by 6:30 am. Sec2s, we may be unable to get the cap badges soon but please wear as per normal in any case.

Lastly, the venue of the AED course will be at the Multi-purpose Hall at the Yr 5-6 side. If you are unsure about where that is, please assemble at the Raja Blk on Wednesday by 1:45 pm, so we can make our way there by 2 pm.

Thanks.

Monday

Hi guys!

The Year Ones should be coming in tomorrow, so please set a good example by wearing the right attire (ie unit tee) tomorrow. Thanks :)

Please bring 2 bandages each, as usual, in the event that the First Aid Competition team does not have accessibility to bandages. In fact, you should bring 2 for every single training!

That's all from me.

-George

Stress

We are well into the term already, and the culmination of CCA, commitments and miscellaneous activities, while being enriching and a vital part of our education, is starting to take its toll on our health, mentality, and whatnot.

Therefore, in order to stay well, please relieve your stress through methods such as meditation and regular exercise (we can't have you all being absent for training). They not only help to improve fitness level but also to improve efficiency of work.

Thanks.

~ Inspired from the second PSGM session on stress

2012!

Hi people,

Sec2s - hope you've enjoyed MM. Sec3s - hope you're not too badly sunburnt after OBS. My year it rained non-stop though. And the rain stopped the next week when RG went in. Yay.

Anyway if you haven't already guessed - trainings for 2012 begin next Monday, 9 January 2012. As usual please report to the Raja Block in your Unit T-Shirts by 1545hrs.

See you there!

Blog Issues

Hi guys,

Here's wishing the Sec2s and Sec3s a fun time in Malaysian Montage and OBS respectively! From experience, I can say I had a lot of fun with my batchmates there, so appreciate the fact that you are spending your first weeks of school 'out of school' :P

We are aware the blog has mutated recently - especially the tagboard - we will get it fixed as soonest as possible.

And here's wishing a Happy New Year to everyone too! Let's start the year anew ~~

Edit: Yay we've got a new tagboard~!

Go for it.

25 points to David.

Platoon Points of the Week 4

Cheer up :)

UIP & RCYC (again!)

Good news for the Sec2s! Four of B61 have successfully graduated out of the Unit Instructors' Programme last weekend. Hopefully, regardless of the award received at the end of the programme, they have had an enriching experience, especially with other units' Red Cross members. They are:

David

Jian Xing

Amos

Yi Cheng (who received a merit award)

Congratulations to these four!

On a side note, George, Ching Wai, and Kian Guang have just finished CS1 of the Red Cross Youth Challenge this morning. Although probably not as content-rich as UIP, it will certainly prove to be just as intensive and fun, so good luck to the three for their camp two weeks later!

FACOM NRICs

Hi all

This is to all FACOM participants and casualties : Please send in your NRICs latest by 12 noon tomorrow (ie 1 December, 1200hrs). Ms Ruhana will need time to contact the relevant authorities for registration of the competition, so please cooperate, as the deadline for submission is 2 December.

That is all. Hope that you have a fruitful holiday :)

P.S Do respond quickly, so that we do not have to call you.

Photo of the Week 3 + Reminders on Events

Hey Guys~!

Here's this week's photo:

This was taken when our batch was introduced to Cadet-Cade-Link Games Day~! It was definitely memorable with cadets with another school and links whom you may rarely interact with.

So do come on down this Friday @ the S.R. Block Foyer at 1.30pm. (Besides, it's compulsory.) We will be playing games with cadets from Tanjong Katong Girls' School and links from Haig Girls' School. This year's event would be definitely more special as we are having many links coming down together with brownies from the same school~! Please wear your RC Polo Tee + shorts or PE Attire on that day.

Finally, do not forget that there is a CCA Photoshoot tomorrow from 2pm - 5pm. Please gather at the S.R. Block foyer about 10 minutes earlier and change into your Red Cross Uniform.

(P.S. Sec 1s will be taking their OA(B) Theory tests tomorrow at Admin (Yusof Ishak) Block 3rd floor at 1pm. Remember to mug for it~!)

Thanks and do enjoy holidays while you can~! :)

OA(B) Theory Accreds for Sec 1s

This announcement is for all Sec 1s.

There will be a OA(B) Theory Accreds 1 hour before the photoshoot on 10 November. This is extremely important if you want to complete the entire accred and get your OA(B) Badges.

End of School!

School is coming to an end! (yay) Hopefully, you have attained good results for the EOYs.

Do note also that in view of school ending early, there will be no training this Wednesday. Do have a good rest during the holidays, and also do take note of the following events happening of importance, summarised below once again: (This was covered during the briefing on Monday Morning after assembly)

1. Cadet-cadet link activity with TKGS and Haig Girls' School on 11 Nov. Attire: RC unit-tee with Pe Shorts. Assemble at the Raja Block at 1:30 pm. It will be from 145 to 400 pm.

2. Wonderwall Photoshoot on 10 Nov from 2-5 pm. Attire will be Red Cross Uniform (you are only allowed to wear RC unit-tee if your uniform is severely incomplete. This applies mainly to Sec1s) Meet again at the Raja Block, but we will be taking the photo in the parade square.

3. Good luck for those going for HQ programmes such as UIP and RCYC!! We hope the sec2s going for these can learn as much from these enriching programmes as possible.

4. November camp will be from 14Nov (start: 0800) to 16 Nov (end: 1200) Details with packlist will be released in due time.

See you next year for trainings!

Video of the Week 2

Apologies for the slight delay, but here's a video to start of the second week of the series!

Now we all know footdrill is about discipline and professionalism, but who says there isn't style in professionalism?

For those of you who didn't catch the latest FDcom nearly 2 months back, there is a segment in FDcom called "fancy drill" or "open-array drill". The words speak for themselves, so try watching the video (From FDcom two years ago) below to get what I mean: (pardon the video quality though)

Hopefully while link-hopping through the rest of the youtube fancy drill videos, you can get inspiration for future FDcoms, and who knows? Your ideas may be useful then in helping RIRC secure a prize. :)
