SANA course 19 October 2015

Hello cadets,

On 19th October, there will be a SANA course held near Compass Point Shopping Centre. SANA stands for Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association, and this course is necessary to obtain the SANA badge for you to pin onto your RCU. Some of the year 2s have gone for this course, so you can ask them to see what's its like.

One change from last year is that the full-day session has been split into two half-day sessions. So you can choose to go for either one.

We can send a maximum of 5 participants for each session, so register fast if you want to go. If you are interested, contact Sun Han sir before 11/10/2015.

Date: 19 October 2015
Time: 8.30am to 1pm OR 1.30pm to 6pm 
Venue: 2 Sengkang Square #05-01, Singapore 545025 (Beside Compass Point Shopping Centre)
Attire: Mufti (School-based/Red Cross-based Tee with track pants)
Things to Bring: Writing Materials

Note: Failure to attend the course after signing up, or failing to complete the survey after the course will result in having to bear the full costs (SGD $4.00) of the programme to the Singapore Red Cross Society.
