Hey all, take note there will be NO Red Cross meeting on the next Thursday, 3rd September because of the Honours Day. NCOs, Sec 3s and Nicolette, remember to preapre your FULL Red Cross uniforms for that day. There will be a Honours Day rehearsal on next Wednesday, 2nd September so those who are involved please turn up.

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Hey all, the POC dinner will be at 7.00p.m. on the 13th August 2009, Thursday, at Swensen's, Plaza Singapura. Please be there on time, latest 7.15p.m., otherwise our reservation will be cancelled. If you are stuck in a traffic jam or going to be late for any reason, please contact me at 97321799 ASAP. The NCOs will try to push forward dismissal time on that day so that we all will have enough time to reach there on time. You are allowed to go straight from Red Cross on that day but if you want to go home and change or something, you are allowed to do so but I don't really recommend that because it will be the peak hour at that time and traffic will be heavy. We all will be sitting in our levels, however, some of us will get separated from our levels because the tables will be arranged in tens( sorry i tried my best to haggle with the person!). So yups, hope you all will have a great time on that day! Remember to bring your cameras!

Just to confirm, the number of people going from each level will be:
Sec 2s: 12
Sec 3s: 15
NCOs: 17
Ex-NCOs: 11
Total: 55

POC I/Cs, make sure your whole level knows about this, thanks!

Regards,
Wen Qian.

2009-07-20T20:35:00.000+08:00

Dear all, we will be having the POC dinner on the 13th August 2009, Thursday. Sec 1s, this dinner is like a farewell dinner for the Sec 4s and it is sort of a tradition to eat at Swensen's at Plaza Singapura every year. So yeahs, take note that the dinner is NOT complusory for you to attend but of course, it would really be good if you turn up and this is like a personal decision that lies with you ultimately, yeahs. I understand that we all still have school on the next day and it might be very inconvenient of you to go for the dinner on a Thursday night but do try to persuade your parents that you can only need to stay to eat dinner together as an unit and you do not need to stay back after the dinner. The timing will be about from 7p.m.- 10p.m.. POC I/C of each level, get your level's response by Wednesday and tell me who is able to go, who is not and why. And do remind you levelmates to check their emails.

Thank you.

Regards,
Wen Qian.

2009-07-19T13:35:00.002+08:00

To those who are involved in NDP, below is the revised schedule for the NDP trainings for the next week, due to the fact that the Sec 3s have 4-5 tests in that week, thus we hope to have your kind understanding. Thank you.

Tuesday: 2.00 p.m. to 3.00 p.m.
Wednesday: CANCELLED
Thursday: Red Cross meeting (Bring your boots and croc socks please.)
Friday: 2.00 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.

That's about it. One more thing, anyone who REALLY CANNOT go for any of the trainings for the next week, please tell me ASAP. And be sure to have a VALID REASON. Please learn some responsibility.

Also, there will be an OFFICIAL Red Cross meeting on the coming Thursday 23rd July from 2.15p.m. to 6p.m.. Details will be put up on the board soon.

Thank you.

Regards,
Wen Qian.

2009-07-10T20:24:00.001+08:00

Hey all, there will be NO CCA on the next Thursday the 16th due to the MOE's decision. Meanwhile, please meet up as a level to discuss and practise POC, thank you.

Regards,
Wen Qian.

2009-07-09T20:34:00.002+08:00

Hey all, POC will be on the 6th of August. We will also be having a Promotion Ceremony on that day so prepare your uniforms well. Oh and as 7th August is the school's NDP celebration, so that means you will have to 'recycle' your uniforms to wear as we all need to be in full Red Cross uniforms on that day too. Last but not least, Sec 1s, please do not post anything about POC on your blogs because you won't want the NCOs to read it and spoil the surprise right? So please exercise caution on your blogs.

Also, please learn up the POC unit song (refer to your emails) and your own POC level song by 6th August. We might have an informal meeting on perhaps 5th August to practise the unit song together as an unit. POC I/Cs, what day are you both free? I want to meet you two to discuss some stuff.

Thank you.

Regards,
Wen Qian.

2009-07-06T17:17:00.002+08:00

Hey all, for the $25 right, my level will only be collecting it on the next official Red Cross meeting. And take note that there will be NO Red Cross meeting for the coming Thursday 9th July due to the MOE's decision. However, those involved in the school's NDP'09 will need to attend the training on that day. Thank you!

Regards,
Wen Qian.

P.S. POC I/Cs, I haven't replied your emails yet because I want to talk to you face-to-face. =)

Hey everyone,

regarding some money matters for red cross

1. Bring $15 for the new water bottles by the next meeting ( 2nd July 2009).
Remarks : We, the secthrees would be collecting money from everyone first before the purchase of the bottles so although you all would be paying the money on 2nd July 2009, you all would only receive the bottles on the next meeting (9th July 2009). The people who would be going to collect the bottles would be wen qian, linda, faeqa and ami.

2. Bring $10 for the new SCRCY shirt.

3. Sell the red cross tickets as soon as possible and bring the money to pass to miss hing by 2nd July 2009.

4.So, basically, in total, they would need to bring $25 altogether (excluding the money for tickets)

Any question please ask your secthrees or june camp group I/Cs

Love,

Carolyn

2009-06-17T13:31:00.006+08:00

Hey guys, I am sure you know that the Passing Out Ceremony for Michelle Ma'am's batch of NCOs is in the first week of August. So, for each level, please appoint your own POC I/C. That POC I/C has to rally your own level to think of a song and gifts for the NCOs. The song must be a very heart felt one (I think you know why) and that entire level must come up with their own practice dates to practise singing the song as a level. As for the gifts, come up with standardised but can still be personalised *gifts for every of the 13 NCOs and it can be anything, as long as it comes from your hearts. As for the cost of the gifts, please split it equally among your levels. Last but not least, please tell my level who is the POC I/C for each level, so as to facilitate better communication. Any problem, please contact any of my level. Thank you.

Regards,
Wen Qian.

*For e.g., you are writing a postcard to every NCO, the psotcard has to be the same for everyone's but each of the NCO's name can be written there, so as to make it personalised.

Hey guys, you all have done a really great job for June Camp 2009. Especially the new recruits, though you were quite uncomfortable during the first day of camp, however, I could see that you all began to show more discipline, especially in terms of sense of urgency, and also, began to be more enthusiastic about everything from the second day onwards. I am glad that you have enjoyed yourselves and I am really proud of you all. As for the Sec 2s, you all have done a great job co-operating with your Sec 3s and I see this as the beginning of your leadership in time to come. Last but not least, I hope that after this camp, all of you will be more bonded with your levelmates and feel the sense of belonging to SCRCY. Let us all keep the spirit of SCRCY going, yeahs?

Regards,
Wen Qian.

2009-06-14T20:44:00.003+08:00

heyy everyone! :D congrats to everyone and our i/cs for doing such an awesome job for this year's june camp! really and totally proud of you guys and hope you guys had fun :D

2009-06-11T18:35:00.001+08:00

Everyone,

please ensure that you do not bring a luggage or roller bag.

Carolyn

2009-06-11T18:00:00.001+08:00

Hello :D

If u need/want to bring facial wash put in the ziplock with your towel and if u need to bring yr specs case or specs/contact lens or contact lens case for lessons or if your wearing contact lenses you can put it in the small ziplock together with your bandages

Carolyn

2009-06-11T15:10:00.002+08:00

Hey all, remember to fill up your 2 cokebottles before coming tomorrow! However, if you have the car's air conditioner problem, then please fill half the bottle at home and the other half in school. DO NOT come before 7.30am but please come BEFORE 7.45am.

Thanks!

Regards,
Wen Qian.

2009-06-10T20:38:00.002+08:00

Hey all I have uploaded the standardisation stuff here. Please click on the image above to enlarge it. And PLEASE, check that all your items are properly standardised.

Regards,

Wen Qian.

2009-06-10T20:09:00.002+08:00

Hey all, you are allowed to bring insect repellent if you need. Put it in Zip Lock 5. Oh and because there have been quite a lot of updates here, please check the archives regularly in cause you miss out anything. Thank you.

Regards,
Wen Qian.

2009-06-09T22:01:00.002+08:00

ATTENTION:

If you do not have enough P.E. shorts, you are allowed to wear white-based shorts!

Regards,
Wen Qian.

2009-06-09T21:50:00.001+08:00

Hey all, standardised stationery is 1 black pen, 1 blue pen, 1 pencil and 1 eraser.

Regards,
Wen Qian.

2009-06-09T16:48:00.006+08:00

Hey all, if you do not have enough P.E. shirts, then you are allowed to replace it with any white-based shirt. For the Sec 2s, the SCRCY shirt is considered a white-based shirt so, you may use that. However, if you do not have enough P.E. shorts, please try to borrow from your friends. If you really can't get any, get in touch with your group i/c ASAP. Thank you!

And I have noticed some Sec 2s are quite confused over how they should pin their badges on their uniforms. So, here's some basic rough idea but if you still can't get it, you may ask any Sec 3s for help.

As a rule of thumb, each row should only have a maximum of 4 badges and each and every badge should be properly aligned and there should be EQUAL spaces in between. The badges should touch each other and there should be NO overlapping.

Regards,

Wen Qian.

2009-06-09T00:17:00.004+08:00

Dear Sec 2s,

This is a reminder for ALL of you: learn up on your reporting procedures, including things such as UI, Water Parade and Firedrill.

TO EVERYONE ELSE: click the archive that contains posts in June for the June Camp packing list.

Regards,
Linda

2009-06-08T18:39:00.001+08:00

Hey all, note that you will be dismissed at 6.00 p.m. sharp on the last day of camp. Thank you.

Regards,
Wen Qian.

2009-06-06T22:35:00.003+08:00

Hey guys, by right, you all are not allowed to know what is going on for camp but since some of you had gone to ask the NCOs about it, then the Sec 3s have no choice but to divulge our plans. And, you all are NOT allowed to ask the NCOs about such matters in the first place because firstly the Sec 3s are the ones responsible for this camp and secondly, as a rule in SCRCY, for trivial matters as such, you all are to ask your Sec 3s, not NCOs because the latter, as you know, are very busy preparing for their O'Levels now and do not need such disturbance from juniors asking what is going on for camp. So, I hope in the future, you all will co-operate more with your Sec 3s. Thank you.

I am the I/C for Day 3 of camp and we are doing Physical Training, Hiking-cum-Litter Picking, Lessons and Recreation. That's all, for the exact details, you guys will have to wait till the camp itself.

Thank you.

-Wen Qian.

2009-06-06T19:53:00.001+08:00

Dear All,

Please be reminded that for June Camp, you will still be using your Coke bottles and the bubble rule (small or no bubble) still applies.

More information on the Nalgene bottles will be disseminated to you at a later date. Do remember to ask your parents about it. Refer to the post on bottles for more details.

Thank you.

Regards,
Linda

Red Cross Camp Day 2

2009-06-05T20:01:00.001+08:00

hello, basically for day 2 of red cross camp, we will have PT and recreation. We will also have Chinatown clean-up which is a combined activity with St Margaret's. For this activity,only the sec 1s, sec 2s and sec 3s scholars as well as Mabel and Evanne will be participating in. We will also have a campfire at night where we invited ex-NCOs to come back and join us. That's all, the rest you will find out during camp.

-deborah tan JY

2009-06-05T15:53:00.000+08:00

Dear All,

Due to the harmful nature of chemicals in plastic bottles, SCRCY has decided to have a new, standardised plastic water bottle that is to be used in place of the Coke bottle.

The current bottle in mind is a 1-litre Nalgene water bottle. We are ordering the bottles in bulk, and each bottle will cost around $15.00-$16.00. Do ask your parents and obtain their approval before getting back to your respective level I/Cs.

Sec One Level I/C: Alyssa Tjioe
Sec Two Level I/C: Nadira Rafeek
Sec Three Level I/C: Deborah Tan YC

Should your parents express any concerns regarding this matter, contact your level I/Cs immediately. Level I/Cs are to collate all your levelmates' responses, whether their parents agree or not, and get back to me by SUNDAY 7.00 P.M. Should any of your levelmates be uncontactable during this period of time (i.e. they are overseas, or for any other unknown reasons), collate a list of their names and give it to me, and this should also be done by SUNDAY 7.00 P.M.

Assure your parents that should they have any concerns regarding this matter, these concerns will be taken into account before we make any purchase of the bottles. Also, do note that the price of $15.00 - $16.00 is not the finalised price of the bottles.

If you do encounter any problems or if you need to clarify certain things with me, you can always e-mail or SMS me.

Regards,
Linda

Hey all, with regards to tomorrow's meeting, here's the information.

Sec 1s and Sec 2s:
There will be standardisation meeting from 2p.m. to 4p.m. Reporting time is as per normal and do come in your PE attire. Your camp group i/c will be calling/messaging you tonight to inform you of what items to bring. After 4p.m., you are allowed to go home, however, you may stay back to help out for open house.

Sec 3s:
AOP presentation will be from 4p.m. to 5p.m. in the AVA room. If NCOs are still not there at 4p.m., go to the AVA room and present to the teachers. After the presentation, we might have to help out for open house too.

So that's all for now, any questions please tag in the tagboard here.

-Wen Qian

2009-05-17T17:39:00.000+08:00

Hey I have uploaded the following so as to show you all a clearer view of how your beret should be done. I apologise for the seeming-illegible writing. If you have any queries, do tag in the tagboard here and I will try to get back to you asap. Thanks!

Seasoning your beret:
1)
2)

Cape badge:
1)

As for the 'pigtails' at the back:
1)

Your beret should look something like this...

-Wen Qian.

2009-05-06T23:22:00.000+08:00

To all:

Please take Red cross seriously. It is not your hobby where you can come and go as you please. Neither is it something you can just dump when you get tired of it. Since its your CCA, you have to stick with it and do your best for it.

Don't just think of yourself. You're not the only ones suffering.

- Jia Ping

2009-05-03T23:52:00.000+08:00

Hey, just for some clarification.

For boots, the Sec 3s would be showing you how to polish them during our meeting this coming Wednesday.
You all are not required to use white polish if you are able to shine your boots using just black polish.
However, if you are a perfectionist and insist that your boots must shine like mirrors, then you are allowed to use white polish as the first coating then use your black polish.
But, if you are unclear about how to polish your boots, please, please, do not anyhow polish your boots because once you polish wrongly, your boots will be spoilt and it is very difficult to make them shine again.

As for your uniforms, you all will be taught how to iron them properly this Wednesday. However, if you are feeling very paranoid now, here are some essentials.
DO NOT sew on your buttons or do anything funny to your uniforms.
You all will be given button rings and we will teach you how to put on your buttons.
Additionally, ensure that your collar is ironed straight down, which I believe Linda has already noted somewhere in the document she sent you.
As for your pleats, they can be a bit tricky to iron for the first time.
However, I trust that you guys can do your pleats properly, as long as you put in your utmost efforts, time and energy.
Make sure that your pleats are not too big or small or you will have problem putting on your belt later on.
And, if your uniform is too big or small for you, please go and get it altered.
The acceptable length of the uniform will be about 1 inch below your knees to your knees. If you are altering your uniform, make sure that you use white thread and not some other colour.

Lastly, your beret.
The right way to season it should be sent to you already.
Just remember to place your beret under your television or bed and NOT like under some heavy dictionaries or whatsoever because only your television or bed is heavy enough to season your beret properly.
Do follow that advice given to you if you really want to look smart and nice in your uniform.

Ok, for any further queries or doubts, do tag in the tagboard here. Or, you can ask any Sec 2 or Sec 3 when you see them in school. An important point to note, please remember that though this is only a blog, however, this is actually a way of the Sec 3s communicating to you all. Thus, continue to show respect even when you are just tagging here and such a way would be tagging in your real names and not some short forms or nicknames. By doing that, you are also sparing your seniors the need to check up who you are.

Thanks.

Regards,
Wen Qian.

Hey just for clarification.

During Red Cross meetings or events, you are NOT supposed to be reading your storybook or even sleeping. Doing that is not only a form of disrespect to your seniors, it is also ruining the reputation of Red Cross. If you all wish to have a chat or whatever so as to bond, it is okay but make sure you keep your noise level down. Additionally, do remember the basic rules of Red Cross at all times, like NOT dragging your footwear, sitting upright at all times and respecting your seniors. For the last point, I would like to emphasise again. Even when your seniors are very friendly to you, do still have that basic respect for them. Please treat us as your seniors and not friends. Another thing is, when we are giving instructions, please listen attentively and when you can't hear the speaker, do be proactive in telling us or you would be missing out on a lot of stuff.

I would like to re-emphasise the point that Red Cross is a Uniformed Group. Other people look up to us and we must make sure that we all have a high level of discipline at all times. To do that, lets work hard together, shall we?

-Wen Qian.

More Instructions

Hi New Recruits!
So basically camp is on Wednesday and Thursday so we need to prepare you for it! Ok, just follow the instructions and you should be fine. Any questions don’t hesitate to sms or call your Group ICs or Sec 3 Seniors J.

*Do not come before 7.30am unless you really have to, but please try to come by 7.45am because we have to report at 8am

Anything you want to tell us just tag or something ok. i'll reply.

3 Simple Ways That Will Help You Survive Camp:
1. Always have a sense of urgency – RUN
2. Don’t complain, it won’t help instead encourage each other!
3. Try to be as happy as possible

What to expect for camp:
Ok, remove and clear all your expectations. What you need to know is that during camp, is that it will be physically tiring and probably mentally challenging. It isn’t so bad! YOU WILL SURVIVE IT.JYou will be running around, having class and playing games and fire drills. Everything we do will have a time limit to train us on our sense of urgency. So remember to have a sense of urgency at all times and we will be able to keep time well.

Fire Drills:
For fire drills, it is very important to have a sense of urgency!(RUN!) So whenever you hear a continuous short whistle blows, it means there is a fire drill.

What you do: take out your bandages (be sure it is in an accessible place, after bag check) Run towards the sound of the whistle blow and fall in (squad).

What a fire drill is: A fire drill is an emergency exercise where we are qualified first aiders and we find casualty’s (who are played by our NCOs) around a restricted area and treat them and evacuate them to the First Aid Base (where we assembled at first). In a fire drill, we move as groups. So you will follow your group ics.

What you do: since you haven’t learnt much about First aid what you do is reassure the casualties. It is important to do so such we can provide effective treatment. All you have to do is just talk to them and distract them from their ‘injuries’ and assure them that they are safe.

Mealtimes!
During our meals, we will be at the canteen, but before we can eat we need to cheer the Tick Tock Cheer. Memorize it!

Tick Tock Cheer: (Shout it out)
Tick tock, tick tock, we must eat.
One day 3 meals, cannot miss.
Eat already keep us fit.
Permission to carry on ma’ams! (Shour REALLY REALLY LOUD here)

Then when the NCO says carry on, you can start to eat.

Instructions:
1. Print out your Labels
2. Label you spoon, plate, coke bottle by following the drawn diagrams
3. Coke bottles need to be labelled with new CAMP labels which are attached.
4. It doesn’t have to be perfect!
5. Do not bring things that are not listed on the packing list

Love,
Chloe
