Many outstanding events would have happened in our school life. Some are still valid to me and occurs every Thursday and Friday... It's RED CROSS, my co-curriculum activity. Red Cross instills discipline and a sense of urgency in cadets. It teaches us to act quickly and the importance of time. First aid, evacuation and footdrills are the main activities we do during trainings. However, since the extremely grand Red Cross Annual Footdrill Competition is around the corner, we had to practice and perfect our drills. Hence, first aid and evacuation were left out for later.
In recent trainings, we were taught some new 'gold commands' like the slow-march, wheeling to the left or the right, etc... It was rather interesting and tricky at the same time. We also polished up our rusty but basic bronze and silver drills like turning on the spot and basic marching. Occasionally, we would get 'pumped' or 'knocked down' (Push-ups) if we did not meet the seniors' expectations. The discipline and standard in Red Cross is very high and there is absolutely no room for any nonsense whatsoever. In order to win the champion's title, we have to work really hard and practice our drills and perform well. Our posture is also very important. It makes us looks smarter and more organised. I hope that our squad will emerge CHAMPION and make our seniors and ourselves proud! Not forgetting that it will also bring glory to the school!
I am looking forward to this Thursday as the new and unpolished jewels - the Secondary Ones - will be officially joining the Victoria School Red Cross Society Cadet Unit (VSRCU). They will enter a new world and experience so many new things. I hope that this new batch of freshly baited Victorians will be enthusiastic and excited about Red Cross as I am!
