You will deposit all the unnecessary items in the classroom and the classroom will be locked during the hike for safekeeping.

All NCOs are to bring 1 plastic file each.

The hike will help you to fulfill the hike component in the OA Silver criteria, therefore do not be absent.

OA Gold hike planning

2011-02-13T21:55:00.006+08:00

This announcement is for the 5 cadets who need to plan for their hike in order to qualify for their Outdoor Activities Gold badge.

Below is a list of standard criteria for planning of hike:

1) Map with hiking route marked out (click here for sample) You may check out the online Street Directory for the map. Just type Guangyang Secondary School in the searchbar and then trace the route you want to take to the Home.

2) Program (click here for sample): How long will the hike take? What is the distance from the school to the Home? You need to go for site reconnaissance (recce) to be able to estimate how much time you need to take to get to your end-point, and also to ensure that there are no obstacles that are not reflected on the map (e.g. construction site). Ask for the YOs’ permission before you go for recce.

3) Logistics list (click here for sample): List of items to be prepared and brought along (e.g. map). Include the quantity and source (i.e. where you are going to get it from).

4) F&B list: Check with the YOs if you would require food rations. If so, ask for the budget you are allocated and determine what you want to purchase for the cadets.

5) Packlist (click here for sample): What are the items that the cadets need to bring when hiking to the Home?

6) Contingency plans: What are your back-up plans in case it rains?

7) Emergency contact numbers (click here for sample): Find out the contact numbers of the nearest amenities/facilities to the hiking route, e.g. clinic, hospital, police post, ambulance, taxi

You can continue working on the samples provided in the links (except for the map). You may also refer to the OA Gold notes for further information. To download the OA Gold notes, click on this link and scroll down to Outdoor Activities. Click on the dropdown menu and select OA Gold.

Please complete the tasks by 20th February, Sunday, and email the YOs and myself a soft copy of what you have done. I know the time is tight, but we need 1 week before the event in case of any unexpected problems. The other NCOs should help in the preparation too (e.g. logistics and F&B), and the 5 cadets will lead the planning.

Please do not hesitate to contact me or the YOs if you have any questions. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
VI Yuan Hao

Evacuation Silver accred briefing

2010-04-13T21:55:00.004+08:00

Hi cadets,

Please do note that it is REALLY important that all of you who are taking the Evacuation Silver accreditation this Thursday to pass BOTH the theory and practical accreditation, as it will likely be your LAST chance to pass the accreditation.

Therefore, please do study really hard for the theory component, and have ample practice before the actual accreditation. I understand that revision has been conducted for all of you during the camp, as well as after the camp, thus there should be no reason for anyone to fail.

There will also be very little (if any) time allocated for revision, as the accreditation itself will be taking up a lot of time, so DO NOT expect the instructors to be demonstrating all the methods again. You need to be really confident before the accreditation. You MUST be able to match all the methods with their names (i.e. you cannot be ‘blur’ when you are asked to perform Mini-Skirt method or Fireman’s Lift). No point awarded for just knowing the method but not their names.

1) Mini-Skirt method
2) Two-hand seat
3) Three-hand seat
4) Four-hand seat
5) Human stretcher
6) Loading of casualty onto stretcher
7) Moving casualty using stretcher
8) Opening/Testing/Closing of stretcher
9) Fireman’s Lift

Please make your own arrangements with one another to practise beforehand. Form your own groups and then practise on one another. You may want to approach the YOs for the CCA room key to practise your stretcher drill.

Be prepared to stay back a little later than 6pm should we be unable to complete the accreditation within the given time. Thus, it is important that you all are really confident for the accreditation, so that we can clear everyone quickly instead of time on revision or on repeating the methods over and over again.

Do note upon passing this accreditation, you will be eligible for the Evacuation Silver badge, which is also directly tied down to your promotion criteria. Please pass the message around, for everyone to read this post on the blog.

Good luck and all the best for your accreditation!

pre-camp brief

2010-03-16T15:34:00.004+08:00

Hi cadets,

In view of the upcoming camp tomorrow, here are just some last-min pointers for you. You may or may not see this, but it's okay.

Sec 3s and 4s:
You would all be taking an interview by the YOs and VIs during the camp, to determine the appointments you want to take up in the committee, and address your concerns and doubts in Red Cross, as well as any other issues you want to raise. It would be good for you to think of the following pointers:

1) What is the appointment in the committee that I would like to take?
2) Why do I want to take up this appointment?
3) Who do I feel I can work best with? And why?
4) What do I want to change in Red Cross when I step up as an NCO? (e.g. implement a certain program, change the cadets' attitudes)
5) What are my targets for Red Cross? What do I want to see the unit achieve?

For all cadets:
Please hydrate yourselves and have at least 7 hours of sleep tonight. The camp will be a great learning opportunity, and for the Sec 2,3 and 4 cadets with Evac Bronze, you will be taking your Evac Silver accreditation, so please get ready for it. We hope to see everyone pass out from the camp with at least 1 badge to their name.

Sec 1s and newcomers, you will find yourself learning about the various aspects of Red Cross, and you can also pass out with 1 badge from the camp. You will find out more about the programme when you attend the camp tomorrow.

Best regards,
VI Yuan Hao

Confirmed dates for Dec trainings

2009-12-16T22:49:00.001+08:00

Dear cadets,

The confirmed dates for returning to Guangyang are 22nd December (Tuesday) and 23rd December (Wednesday), from 9am to 1pm.

These 2 sessions will be specially held for preparation for CCA fair next year. Attendance is COMPULSORY, as it is still considered an official CCA session.

Attire will be any school-related shirt and trackpants/shorts, as long as you’re comfortable with painting the banners or preparing for the logistics.

Bring all the necessary logistics required, such as paint, cloth (for the banner) and PHOTOS of the unit especially. I hope you all have already met up in your own groups to discuss on what you want to do. If you hadn’t, you still have a few more days to discuss. The groupings have been announced in the previous post.

Further details will be posted up over the weekend, so please continue checking back on this blog.

Remember to acknowledge on the tagboard that you have read this notice. Meanwhile, pass the message around to your friends.

Best regards,
VI Yuan Hao

CCA fair preparations in Dec

2009-12-02T16:09:00.004+08:00

Hi cadets,

Sorry for the long lapse in updates.

Please be prepared to return to the school for Sec 1 CCA fair preparations any time after 13th December. Be prepared to return to the school in the morning from 9am to 1pm, for AT LEAST 2 days. The exact dates will be confirmed again later.

I apologize for the inconvenience that might have been caused to some of you, but this is because the YOs would not be around until after 13th December, thus the need to recall you all back after this date. We will try to confirm the exact dates as soon as possible. Meanwhile, make sure you finish all your holiday homework in advance, so that you will not be affected by the last-minute notifications to return.

Take note that it is COMPULSORY to return to the school for these 2 sessions. Depending on how much you all can finish within these 2 days, there might be a 3rd session, so as far as possible work together to complete all your preparations. The NCOs will brief you all after you’ve returned on the things to be done.

Meanwhile, the NCOs have spilt you all into various groups:

Banner: Yee Chiu (I/C), Rebecca, Gisele, Jhoann

Flyer: Hui Ting (I/C), Ivanna, Kalaivani, Cheryl

Booth No.1: Thivya (I/C), Jaypriyah, Mei Qi, Qian Yu

Booth No. 2: Ahbilasha (I/C), Li Hoon, Shao Min, Samantha

By the way, CCA day will be on 16th January, Saturday. Each CCA will be allocated a class to share with the Sec 1s, so it should be in a classroom environment. Therefore, feel free to work within your own groups first and perhaps meet up online, to brainstorm on ideas that would promote Red Cross Youth as an attractive CCA.

***

By the way, I’m afraid all the cadets would need to retake their Outdoor Activities (OA) Bronze accreditation, as the results cannot be used anymore after such a long time (the camp was in March). Those who have attended the hike will still keep their National Heritage Trail badge, but similarly would need to retake the OA accreditation again.

***

Pass the word around! Similarly acknowledge on the tagboard if you have read this. You will not be excused from returning to school or retaking the OA accreditation even if you do not acknowledge, as this shows that you didn’t read the notices posted up when you are supposed to.

Best regards,
VI Yuan Hao

Red Cross essay

2009-11-24T11:04:00.003+08:00

Hi cadets,

As of this morning (Tuesday, 24th November 10.30am) I have received the essays from the following cadets thus far:

Yee Chiu
Ivanna
Rebecca
Li Hoon
Gisele
Cheryl
Thiviya

Only Huiting has asked for an extension of deadline, whereas the other cadets have not explained why they are submitting late.

The remaining cadets who have yet to submit their essays are to do so immediately, together with an explanation of why the essays are being submitted late, as well as explain why you did not ask for an extension of deadline earlier on.

For cadets who submitted later than Sunday 8pm (you know who you are), I hope you would correct your attitude. You should have explained to me BEFORE THE DEADLINE why you can only submit your essay later than the deadline (i.e. the explanation should have reached me either via email or sms before Sunday 8pm), instead of waiting till the deadline is over before you explained yourself and submitted your essay at the same time.

Instructions have been made very clear. Please follow them. Cadets who are excused from last Wednesday’s lesson need not do the essay.

***

I apologize for having taken a long time to post your OA results. Miss Chew is currently still trying to find the soft copies, so please do check back here for more updates.

For those who do not have my handphone number, please find out from those who have during the holidays. This will facilitate communication between the instructors and the cadets.

Best regards,
VI Yuan Hao

updated evac bronze results

2009-11-18T19:08:00.004+08:00

Hi cadets,

As previously promised earlier in the day, the results for the entire evacuation accreditation (inclusive of last Friday’s session) will be posted up. The results here will vary slightly with last Friday’s results (announced in the previous post), as there’s a change in the conversion of percentages, but it should be similar.

Jaypriyah – 75
Mei Qi – 87
Jhoann – 85
Thiviya – 83
Ahbilasha – 84
Samantha – 85.5
Rebecca – 87
Shao Min – 86
Gisele – 88
Yee Chiu – 85
Qian Yu – 80.5
Ivanna – 82.5
Cheryl – 79.5
Li Hoon – 86
Kalaivani – 83
Hui Ting – 87

Guess who’s the top scorer? Good news is everyone passed, however let’s not be complacent. This accreditation has been rather straightforward, yet even then a number of you faltered at Radio Communications (you know who you are), plus this is only the BRONZE accreditation, so please keep up the effort and continue to improve.

Everyone should have been able to score above 85, so for those who had less than that, please take note of how dangerously close you are to the passing mark (75). Not trying to discourage any of you (I recognize the effort you all put in), but I just don’t want you all to think that other accreditations would be as smooth-sailing as this one. Reflect upon the mistakes you made, and make sure you don’t commit them again.

***

Now…I shall type out the question for your 250-word essay again, in case some of you have forgotten.

“Why is it that we, as Red Cross, have to be MORE disciplined than other Uniformed Groups?”

Format: Microsoft Word
Font: Times New Roman, size 12
Deadline: 8pm, Sunday (22nd November 2009)
Title of email: Red Cross essay
*question to be typed on top of essay, then leave a line, followed by your essay itself*

NO grammatical errors, NO spelling mistakes, NO SINGLISH please! Don’t cram everything into one paragraph. Appropriate paragraphing to be applied! Most importantly of all, take note of the word “MORE”. Why must we be MORE disciplined than other Uniformed Groups (UGs)? Why can’t we just be AS disciplined AS other UGs?

Some pointers you might want to answer:
Why must we shout louder than the rest?
Why must we move faster than the rest?
Why must we tuck in our shirts?
Why are we discouraged from dragging our feet, dragging the chair etc?

Email to my email account: yuanhao8@hotmail.com. Remember that even if you are unable to submit, you still have to email me an explanation on why you have to submit late, and tell me the exact date and time you will submit the essay by. The only people excused from this exercise are Ahbilasha, Mei Qi, Jhoann and Samantha, as they have not been through today’s lesson and are involved in a separate camp.

***

I know this is a really long post. Details on the dates to return to the school for preparation for CCA fair next year will be posted at a later date. Please do keep checking back this blog. I’ll discuss things with Miss Chew and get back to all of you via this blog again.

Please acknowledge if you have read this post by TAGGING on the tagboard. Thanks.

Best regards,
VI Yuan Hao

Evac bronze accred results

2009-11-13T17:27:00.001+08:00

Hey cadets,

As promised, the results for today’s evacuation bronze accreditation will be posted here. Your overall percentage will be next to your name. Good news is so far everyone passed. You can look forward to having 1 bronze badge next year. The instructors will try to clear you all for Evac Silver early next year, so that would qualify you for another badge.

Jaypriyah – 76%
Mei Qi – 88%
Jhoann – 87%
Thiviya – 86%
Ahbilasha – 86%
Samantha – 86%
Rebecca – 88%
Shao Min – 87%
Gisele – 89%
Yee Chiu – 86%

Remaining cadets who have yet to take their test:
Qian Yu
Ivanna
Cheryl
Li Hoon
Kalaivani

For the remaining 5 cadets who have yet to take their practical, please be reminded that your one and only chance for accreditation is on next Wednesday, 18th November. The rest of the cadets are still required to turn up for training. Training will be from 9-12pm as usual.

Everyone are to think of ideas on promoting Red Cross for next year’s Sec 1 CCA fair before turning up for training next Wednesday.

Keep up the good work!

Best regards,
Yuan Hao

postponement of OA Gold mass accred

2008-08-12T10:43:00.001+08:00

This notice goes out to the 6 OA Silver cadets who are qualified for the OA Gold mass accreditation, namely Pui Yu, Linda, Carina, Hafizah, Melvin and Siti.

Please take note that the OA Gold mass accreditation has been postponed by the HQ from this coming Saturday (16th August) to 8th November, thus the lesson originally scheduled on this Wednesday afternoon (13th August) will be cancelled.

Meanwhile, please do keep the date 8th November free on your schedule, as this is a very rare opportunity for you to earn your OA Gold badge, and there is no way the instructors can conduct a make-up accreditation should you miss this one, since we are constrained by our resources available and several other considerations.

Please do pass the message around. Thanks.

Hi cadets,
Please take note of the following changes, i am sorry for the last minute confusion
Firstly, please refer to your camp pack lists

Under the column clothing,
Description Qty Remarks
- Track pants 1 [Excluding the one you're wearing when reporting (add in) ]
- Shorts 2 [Excluding the one you're wearing when reporting (remove) ]

Please take note of the following changes.

Secondly,
Please take note that all the consent form should be handed in to miss chew tomorrow (23/5/08) friday, especially the CIP form for the Saturday trip.
Please hand in to her during morning when assembling at the parade square

For those who did not received the consent form, we will pass it to your tomorrow. However please try to confirm with the CIP tomorrow with your parents, try to call them to see whether they allow you or not and tell miss chew about it. (For those without forms)

Thirdly,
Please take note that for those who are involve in UG day as well as ULP are to be present in the camp. No excuse will be made but however there will be a early release for those who are involved in the UG day. We will confirm the time with your at a later date. Only those who are going to the Hong Kong trip will be excused for the camp.

Lastly,
Please take note there will be a first aid test on the following topics:
For sec 1s : Skin and Introduction of First Aid
For sec 2s and 3s : Circulatory System and Skin

Please take note you are to study the entire notes and not just the sub topic of it. For the Sec 2s and Sec 3s please also revise through the rest of the notes as there maybe a MCQ test for the whole of the first aid session your have learn so far. Try to revise through first, and i will confirm with you guys whether there is a MCQ test or not during the camp. But for now, please focus on the test that you guys are assigned for above, as this date will definitely be fixed, no changing of it.

To summarise all, please take note that you are to bring 2 track pants and 2 shorts. One of the trackpants you will be wearing it for reporting (first day), so the others you will just be bringing it along. Also, remember to hand in all the forms latest tomolo especially for the CIP consent form. And lastly, there will be a test during the camp as assigned above.

I am sorry for the confusion once again. But if you do have any quries especially the Sec 1s since this is your first time attending the camp, feel free to ask any of the NCOs. Please spread the message around in case some of you do not own a computer. Thx alot!!

First Aid Test

2008-05-12T19:57:00.002+08:00

Hello cadets:)
Please take note that this friday( 16/5/08)there will be training conducted and your attendance is compulsory as some important announcement will be made (e.g. camp) and if you are absent, you might just missed it.
I am sure that all of you have heard what Mr Tan have said that CCA is important so please attend the CCA training.
Regarding friday's training, for the things to bring and stuffs, I will inform your on a later date maybe this coming tuesday or wednesday. So please check your notice board or blog on these two days.
However what I want to say is that this coming friday, please take note there will be a first aid period which is to do test as well as revision if i had the time.

For Sec 1s, your test will be on the topic skin and introduction of first aid
For Sec2s and 3s, your test will be on the topic circulatory system and skin

Please note that you are to study the whole sets of notes, and not just a part of the notes.

So please study your papers well, and I hope that there will be a great improvement in Sec 2s and 3s.

The test I could say is relatively difficult but if you have studied the content base well, you should be able to score well.

So Friday i will see you there on the training all right!! Wish you all the best in this upcoming test!!

Please help me spread to everyone including Melvin and I don't wish to hear saying that i was not informed.

Zhi Peng
Any quires please ask me or other NCOs

Hello cadets,

My name is Yuan Hao, and I was previously a Volunteer Instructor (VI) at Guangyang Red Cross Youth. I believe that most of the current Sec 2s, 3s and 4s would know me, but definitely not for the new recruits this year, but it’s perfectly alright, since I’m currently serving National Service and I would not be able to return for the unit trainings.

Anyway just wanted to let you all be aware of the promotions of our VIs during the Red Cross Youth Awards Presentation and Promotion Ceremony held on 4th April at the SMU Conference Hall:

Promotion from Assistant Cadet Officer (ACO) to Cadet Officer:

Miss Chen Shuchuan Elaine
Miss Tay Fulin

Promotion from Principal Cadet Officer (PCO) to Assistant Youth Officer (AYO):

Mr Poh Ming Shan Mizael Joshua

Congratulations to all who have been promoted!

By the way, Mizael sir has also been a VI at this unit, but he enlisted since July last year, so the new recruits would probably not know him. In any case, please take note that since he has been promoted by the HQ to a commissioned officer, cadets should stand at attention and salute him as a mark of respect whenever they see him during official Red Cross meetings or events. Please refer to your NCOs for guidelines on paying of compliments.

Meanwhile, as Elaine maam, Fulin maam and myself (PCO) are considered non-Commissioned Officers, it is not necessary to salute us when you see us during Red Cross meetings or events. Standing at attention and acknowledging our presence would do.

Take care and all the best!

Best regards,
VI Yuan Hao
