I would like to highlight some mistakes that occur just now during the practice run. Please take note and do not make the same mistakes tomorrow.

When the 10minutes was up, only 1 casualty(Dini) was transported to the base. Casualty 2(Shirui) was treated of sprain and collar bone fractured while casualty 3(Fatima) did not receive any treatment yet.

First of all, the reporting part took up a lot of time. I believe it was because not everyone was clear what was going to happen. So, during tomorrow morning breakfast, I will brief all of you again.

Evacuation team & First Aid team did a correct decision of evacuating and treating the unconscious casualty first, treating casualty 2(Shirui) second and lastly casualty 3(Fatima). This order is correct as the Life-threatening case should go first. Due to casualty 2(Shirui)'s head bleeding injury, I should go second while Fatima who had embedded object on palm should go last.

Next, most of you do not know what to do and you all were slowly walking here and there. Plus you all gathered around the casualty and started discussing an action plan. You all forgot to introduce yourself as an aider and you forgot to ask for casualty's permission to treat them. Some of you even forgot to remove accessories and the casualty still need to remind you.

As the scene was clear, all aiders are allowed to move to the casualty zone. However, the First Aid team did not take note of this advantage until the first casualty had already reached the base. The First Aiders can make full use of time by going over to the casualty's zone and treat some of the casualty first.

Lastly, the sequence of treating the casualty is wrong. I am unsure about how the aiders treated the other casualties, but for Casualty 2(Shirui), Jolyn started with the sprain first while Minyee attended to the Collar bone fracture. However, the aiders should have treated the head injury first as it was bleeding and it is more important than other parts of the body. Some of your First Aid skill have misconception as well, such as the hand for elevation sling during collar bone fractured and the elevation sling bandaging.

Overall, the performance was an unsuccessful one, but we no longer have any more time to train. I seriously hope for everyone cooperation as well as seriousness because we no longer have time to practice and this is our final FAC.

Earlier, it was shown to me that nobody was serious. Everyone takes their own sweet time to move. What are you going to do during a real fire scenario? Are you all going to slowly discuss and slowly walk as well? Your sense of urgency was totally not there and there are some people can treat the casualty while laughing.

No matter whether it is a practice, a rehearsal, a competition or a real life situation, your sense of urgency have to be there. Any time you waste can cause a person's life to be gone. During a scenario case, time is precious. Every seconds count and every second you have to be doing something beneficial.

I hope all of you can learn from the mistakes earlier and DO NOT make a fool out of yourself tomorrow by doing the wrong things.

For the Secondary 2 cadets, this is your first time experiencing how to the set up a booth during the UG Open House. Overall GOOD JOB for trying to attract and pull the Secondary 1 over to our booth! Hopefully this year's experience will give you some learning points so that when you all become a senior, you all can improve your booth to attract more Secondary 1!^^ ALL THE BEST to all of you for becoming a senior! Do learn to be more independent and be a GREAT senior so that the Juniors'11 can look up to all of you! Please do not be overly upset because of the Secondary 4 seniors step down. Our CCA step down does not mean that we vanish into the air or rise up to heaven. (: We will still be there if you would like to talk to us! JIAYOU SECONDARY 2!^^ FIGHTING!

For the Secondary 3 cadets, this may be your second year experiencing the CCA Open House, GOOD JOB to those who came and help. Time sure passes fast and now all of you are going to lead the Unit. Hopefully I will be able to see more of you working together next time, but for now, all I would like to say is that JIAYOU & GOOD LUCK for the rest of the year! Try to help each other out so that all of you can do well academically as well as to lead the Unit well. Do not be too stress over both your academic and Red Cross. If you really require help, do remember the Secondary 4 seniors will up there. (I mean in Class not in heaven. [: ) Taking over the Unit might be difficult at the start so do open up yourselves first so that the new Secondary 1 juniors can warm up to all of you! JIA YOU SECONDARY 3 & FIGHTING!^^

Sorry for this very last minute message. There will be a Gold Modular Workshop on 23rd October 2010 and 30th October 2010. You will need to pass Bronze and Silver Outdoor Activity Accreditation if you want to take part in Outdoor Activity Gold Accreditation.

The Gold Modular Workshop lesson is on 23rd October while the test will be on the 30th October.

Let me explain what I meant in the message I had sent earlier.

1. You need to pass Bronze and Silver Outdoor Activity Accreditation to attend Gold Modular Workshop.

2. Most of you do not have Silver for either Footdrill/ Outdoor Activity/ Evacuation right?

3. If you want to attend, Xingyuan Sir is willing and able to give accreditation for Bronze and Silver Outdoor Activity.

4. So, the entire schedule will goes like this:

23rd October 2010 - Outdoor Activity Workshop Gold

25th October 2010 to 29th October 2010 - Xingyuan Sir will give Outdoor Activity Bronze and Silver Accreditation

30th October 2010 - Outdoor Activity Gold Modular Accreditation (Test)

I am not sure whether you are still able to attend the Outdoor Activity Gold Modular Workshop, but this is what Xingyuan Sir had suggested so that there will be more of you participating and getting Gold for Outdoor Activity. I will need to confirm if you are able to attend without the Silver with Ms Ong and Red Cross HQ.

Do message me latest by tonight if you are interested.

Thank you very much.

With Regard

Shirui

Anyway, please sign up for the courses because you really really want to attend and not because you just sign up for fun. If you really want to sign up for the courses and camp, you must be able to show commitment to it. Do not take away other people chance of participating if you are not serious at all. That's all. Enjoy your upcoming holiday!

Best Regards

Shirui :D
