A New Chapter

Hi guys,

Though it's the end of the RIRC journey for batch 58, a new chapter is beginning. The year may be coming to a close, but remember to look forward to the year ahead. So let's continue to tradition of excellence in RIRC. BRING IT ON!!!!

Anyway, good luck for your EOYs!!

POP/POC

Hi guys,

On Friday, please remember to prepare your FULL uniforms and meet at the canteen at 2pm please. We will do a few run throughs of the parade and make sure that everyone knows the procedures.

The actual Parade and Ceremony will start at 5.30pm, and please remember that parents do not have to come.

Its the real parade on Friday, so do your very best. The Sec 3s are sure that you can do it!

Trainings till EOYs

Hi all!

There has been some confusion about whether there is training next week, so hopefully this post will clear all the doubts.

There will not be any training from now on, until end of EOYs. Of course, you still have to go for the POP training next week. It is compulsory for everyone.

The details for this training is here:
Date: Wednesday, 15th Spetember
Time: 3.30pm to about 5.30-6pm
Attire: PE

We hope that you guys will take this rehearsal seriously. The parade will after all be for our Sec 4s, who have done so much for the unit. It is only right that we show our appreciation, right?

There is quite a number of you that have not come for a single training, so we expect these people to all be there on Wednesday. After all, it is normal training hours, so you guys should not have any excuse for not coming.

Other than these people, we also want to see that everyone else will be present.

We hope to see all of you there.

POP Training 2

Hi all,

As you know, the turnout for the parade rehearsal on thursday was terrible. Very few people actually turned up. Tomorrow there will be another training. It will last from 9am to 5pm. If you guys perform well, we could end early. So please take this seriously. Anyone who doesn't turn up without a valid excuse will have his promotion delayed. If you have a remedial class, inform us of the time and come right after the class ends. If you skip tomorrows training, you will still have to come for another one. So the choice is yours. See you guys at the Parade Square tomorrow at 9am.

Thank You

Dover Park Hospice SUNday Walk (again!)

Hi guys,

Those who are going for the DPH SUNday Walk, please wear the yellow T-Shirt that I have given you either today or yesterday on Sunday. It's not in the consent form but you HAVE TO wear it.

Thanks :)

POP Training Today

Hi guys,

Last training, we told you that there was POP training this afternoon. I couldn't turn up myself to help as I had RA Class and Parody Rehearsals which stretched till 7pm. However, the Sec 3s there told me that only about 10 people came. Yes, I have the names. To these people, thank you. I mean it.

I know the majority who did not turn up had valid reasons for not coming. Its okay. Just be sure to turn up on next Monday's one, its really important.

However, for those few of you who decided not to go for no reason at all, think about it. Is this the kind of impression you want to give to the Sec 4s? The Sec 3s? The Sec 1s/2s? Or even your batch mates?

If most of us turned up for one training, it could really be ONE training. We could explain all the steps to you, practice a couple of times, and... wait. That's all. You could go home right after that. However, if we have attendances like 10 people, nothing can be done and we might have to reschedule training after training.

So yes, by not coming, you do not only inconvenience yourself by not knowing what to do, you push others down by making them have to come for the trainings you aren't at and not using their time to the max there. And remember, all it takes is ONE jarring mistake by ONE person in a squad to mess everything up.

So please, help yourself, help your batch, help the unit. Please try your best to turn up for this Monday's training. The PMs will be calling you to confirm your attendance.

-Han Sheng

P.S. I believe Vatsal has called for the Sec 1 POC video filming to be tomorrow. Sec 1s, please turn up for it.

P.P.S. Also, Sec 1s, 2s, please take note that as your promotions will not be carried out during POC, you do not need to invite your parents down.

P.P.S. Same thing goes for FACOM support. If you're free, just come down to support our FACOMers. They have trained everyday for the past 3 weeks and everyone would agree with me that they more than deserve our support. Seriously, your presence does make a difference.

A Blast from the Past II (2008)

Stuff to bring on Monday's Training

Hi all!

Sec 1s and 2s, do bring 2 triangular bandages each on Monday's training. Sec 1s for RIFA (B) accreds, and sec 2s for RIFA (S) lesson.

Do mug hard for the accreds! Revising and practising together will definitely prepare you better than just doing it alone, so go form a group within your platoon or within the batch!

Good Luck!

Dover Park Hospice SUNday Walk

Hi guys,

Those who have registered for the Dover Park Hospice SUNday Walk (i.e. Ching Wai, Justin, Wei Yang, Kai Yen, and Ryan Chiong), please note that the consent forms will be given out on Monday.

More details will be given in the consent form, but the meeting place is confirmed to be HarbourFront Bus Interchange at 2.30pm on 5 September, where buses will be provided by Dover Park Hospice. A coupon will be issued to allow you to take the bus for free. On the day itself, please bring the coupon, or else you will have to pay $3 to take the bus.

I will be giving out this coupon and the shirts tentatively on Thursday, depending on when I can collect them from DPH. Consent forms will also be collected on Thursday.

Thanks!

Attendance records

Dear all,

Please click here to access your attendance records, and ensure that all excuses for your absence from trainings/CAC are submitted as soon as possible, with the Training Excuse Forms. If you have no excuse for a certain training, be honest with us.

If you are denied access to the link, refresh the page and it will work.

Please take this as a chance to clarify all your attendances for this year, since it will affect your promotions, as detailed in your Development Portfolios. There is no need to label and ostracize your batch mates as ponners; instead you can help them by making sure they come for training, for example. The list is not a "public shaming" of ponners, but a reminder to submit your excuses for the trainings you have missed.
