Newspaper collection CIP (Saturday, 30 March)

(This is a post on behalf of Batch 62)

 

Hi guys,

Some of you have been briefed on the newspaper and clothing collection CIP this Saturday during training on Wednesday, but just to make things clearer, look through the Powerpoint slides; essential details are all there. This information is the most updated, so if it does not correspond with the consent form, just follow the details in the Powerpoint.

 

Here's the link to the powerpoint slide:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/wshhia9gfp7ij8n/Newspaper%20Collection%20Briefing%20Slides.pptx

In the Sec 2s' case, since you guys have SFA in the morning, go to Block 109 Bishan Street 12 immediately after your SFA. To arrive there, exit RI through the side gate behind the Admin Block and cross the road via the overhead bridge. Enter the cluster of HDB flats and go to the void deck of Block 109. An IC will be there to take note of your arrival.

What the, FAC?! We won!

"Walk out of there smiling knowing you did your best"

-Samuel

Just yesterday, in an epic and very manly moment of glory, RIRC reclaimed it's pride in claiming the prize for runners-up to the annual First Aid competition. After years and years of suffering from droughts of FAC trophies (thanks *cough*colin*cough*george), we finally get to be able to feel, smell and lick one again. Hooray.

After months of grueling hard work, pushing through the pits of Hell and suffering through fire and pain, being tortured under a certain someone and tying ring-bandage chains, the FAC management's team's efforts finally paid off, so give them a pat on the back and ask them to stop breaking cold packs if you see them :)

And that is all.

Also note that a GRAAAAAND TOTTAAAAAL OF one year1 and two year2s came for this >compulsory< competition support to witness history in the making.
So yes, we shall be hounding all of you down.

Important things to note

Regarding the pack list for camp:

• There is no need to use 1.5l coke bottles. Any kind of 1.5l plastic bottle will do.
• You may bring insect repellent if you want.
• The whistle is very important. Don't forget to bring it.
• (For sec 1s especially) You can buy triangular bandages at Guardian or similar pharmacies.
• (For sec 1s especially) You can buy army ponchos, ziploc bags, and other camping gear at Beach Road. There is a whole row of shops there selling these things.

Regarding FACom support tomorrow:

• We are sorry for the extremely late posting of the consent forms. The school took forever to get it out. Please download and print it, and bring the signed form with you tomorrow.
• Fuhua Secondary School is near Chinese Gardens (near Jurong).
