Hi everyone! Thanks for being willing to write some motivational messages for the RVHS SJB cadets :)

The messages here will be converted into physical cards and will subsequently be passed to the RVHS cadets. Hopefully, these messages will brighten up their day; provide some support and show them that SJB as an organisation supports the RVHS cadets.

Here are some simple instructions on the messages:
- Please write your name at the end of the message and what Corps/District you are from.
- Feel free to write your message in anyway that you want. Just be mindful that you are writing to 13 - 18 year old. Hence, avoid profanities; coarse language or any offensive messages.

# data[].attributes.body
hey RVHS SJB cadets. you guys are probably going through a really hard time right now, but don't worry, you can get through it! stay strong and if you want to talk it out with someone, please do so. i hope you guys are doing alright and just know that everyone is here for you! :)

I just hope you guys are doing well and it’s ok to be not fine since situations like these are always overwhelming. If you ever feel down, just remember, we are all here for you. Stay strong, keep your head up, don’t be afraid to let out your feelings :)

Hello RV-ians,

It definitely must have been tough and hard on you, especially psychological distress. Since End of Year examinations are nearing too, the amount of stress pilling up must be difficult to cope. Even through hard times like this, always try to stay positive and strong, never let anything bring you down. If you're feeling anxious or stress, take a deep breath and find something to distract yourself with. Of course, no one will ever truly understand how you really feel, but opening up and letting your problems out will make it seem as if a burden has been lifted off your shoulders. Always take time to do what you enjoy, and stay happy!

Although no matter how much comfort and encouragement we give will help you to forget the traumatic experience you have gone through during that time, I hope that at least by extending my hand as both a senior in school and in CCA can help to eliminate some of the pain.  You can always ask for help from your friends, seniors and teachers.

Dear RVians,
We are all aware about the tragic accident that has happened recently. It is okay to feel uncertain at times like this, but do always remember that your loved ones will always be there for you. Hopefully, you are not afraid to go to school and are not too affected by it.

Students of RVHS, we (fellow Singaporeans) were just as alarmed as you were when the tragic accident happened. Know that we will support you in case you need any help. Most importantly, we need to get to grips with reality. We must collect ourselves, maintain a positive attitude and take the necessary measures to make sure this never happens again. We understand that you may be frightened, but please do not overthink and become paranoid. From this point on, hold a watchful gaze for anything out of the ordinary, but otherwise try to return to normal life. It is astronomically unlikely that such a tragedy will happen again.
Remember to stay strong and bounce back!

When something like this occurs, it's hard to just forget about it like it never happened. It stays in your mind and you can't seem to get rid of it. However, know that with time, the wound will heal. It may scar, and it may hurt sometime in the future, but it is over. I hope that you all will be able to stay strong, and that you all will continue to face forward and take steps, no matter how small they are.

Heyyo RVHS!! I know that it is a difficult time and that the tragic incident is definitely a REALLY SAD one🥺,but never ever worry we are here for you as friends and family💝🤗. Don't be afraid to share you feelings as it is something that needs to be shared and solved. Plsss seek help to a trusted person if you are unable to express  your feelings to your friends or even your parents.
Don't think of negative things,think positively and try to create positive vibes around yourself as much as possible. Help one another and help them in a positive way. Going to a counselor and talking to them is not a weakness but when you don't it shows that the life your living is for others and not for yourself,so don't ever do that mistake. There is only one chance to correct it so plss use that chance as it can bring you to a way more brighter side of your life that you were struggling to find.
No matter what happens as the members of St John's family we will support you in any situation and provide you with the necessary help. So never ever be afraid to voice out your feelings to a trusted adult. And don't forget St John's Family will be always with you supporting and regaining your strengths
Hope this message boosts your moods and and reminds you that we are there for you🤗🤗
Stay safe and together we will overcome this pandemic and the tragic incident🥰🥰
Good luck for your End of Year exams guys:)😁😁

Please take care of yourself, both mentally and physically, and reach out for help or talk to someone that you’re comfortable with if you need to.

Hi RVians!

No one will be able to truly understand the pain and despair you felt facing the aftermath of the incident. Nevertheless, it is in these tough times that we bind together and motivate one another to push through. Be vulnerable, be helpful, be kind.

Sometimes, all you might see is pitch darkness. But remember, that you can be that source of light. Be that light that will eventually light up stars after stars, eventually a beautiful constellation that lights up the night sky. Wishing you all the best and if possible, be that source of light to others too.

Dear RVHS SJB,
No words could describe my shock at learning about the incident. What I was heartened to see in the following days was the solidarity in which the community rallied around RVHS. From the penning of encouraging notes, delivery of care packages and even a heartwarming video by the graduated cohorts. They were testament to the strength of the RVHS community and the grace, compassion and solidarity which Minister for Education spoke of.
Remember that amidst the strive for excellence, self-care is also important and please do look out for each other, especially those who are shy to speak out. Do not hesitate to give your teachers, counsellors a shout if you need support. Take care! Jiayou!!

It's been difficult to see anything beyond this period of grief. However, you will get through this phase. Be strong because things will get better. It may be stormy now, but it never rains forever.

When you walk through a storm

Hold your head up high

And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm

There's a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind

Walk on through the rain

Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

Dear RV SJB,
It is indeed unfortunate that such an incident had taken place in your place of education, your place of enjoyment, for some of you — your second home.

But do remember, while it may be hard to cope with the shock of the incident, shying away from it will not help either. Recognize what happened, discuss about it if you wish, the most important thing is to stay united and to acknowledge the incident, then have meaningful conversations with your loved ones and friends about how you feel and ultimately, they will be there to support you no matter what.

Don’t suffer in silence, reach out to someone you trust to talk to them. You are not alone, you are never alone.

Just remember, your friends, family, and this SJ family, will always have your back.

Stay strong.

In times like these you would find yourself surrounded by people asking you to "stay strong". But sometimes you may not have that strength to be put-together, you may not have the strength to be okay, and that's okay. Take as much time as you want to heal. No healing process is equal.
Your family, friends and SJ family are here for you always, there's no shame in wanting to speak to someone about the situation so seek a confidant if you feel like it. Sending love your way. Wishing for better days ahead.

Dear RVHS,

It has been rough days for you and we share your grief over the loss of a fellow student. Please, allow me to ease your pain. What I can give, is some sort of a poem, a song, and copious amounts of  encouragement.

{ The poem }

Hear, the bereaved ones

Pieces of the tragedy being spun

Into an unbelievable outcome

Hear, the distraught us

Countless questions wanting to be asked

It feels like the world has turned into dusk

Hey, are you okay?

Your thoughts seem to be in disarray

“No way, no way, this whole thing is insane!”

Cruel thoughts and painful feels

Gather into maelstroms

Sucking up my will

Daring me to be strong

I will hold my ground

Even when consumed by a quicksand

I will never yield

I am going to take my time and make a stand

The world may be mercilessly unfair

Fairness does not govern life and death

Deep down, we know all lives intersect

Lives are changed between those drawing their first and last breaths

Here’s a reminder

No life is a waste

A departure can be a happily ever after

The only time we waste

Is the time that we thought we are alone

Don’t forget that we still have one another

I hope these verses

Can lend a shape to what you feel

So that you can put these feelings to rest

And go back to being you

{ The song }

《你的答案》— 阿冗

也许世界就这样

我也还在路上

没有人能诉说

也许我只能沉默

眼泪湿润眼眶

可又不甘懦弱

低着头 期待白昼

接受所有的嘲讽

向着风 拥抱彩虹

勇敢的向前走

黎明的那道光

会越过黑暗

打破一切恐惧我能

找到答案

哪怕要逆着光

就驱散黑暗

丢弃所有的负担

不再孤单

不再孤单

“Your Answer” — by Ah Rong

Perhaps the world is just like this

I’m also on my way

No one to confide in

Perhaps I’ve only silence

Tears brimming in my eyes

But I refuse to be weak

I lowered my head, hoping for daylight

Accepting every mockery

Towards the wind, embracing rainbows

Take a brave step forward!

The first light of daybreak

Will cross the darkness

Breaking all my fears, I can

Find my answers

Even against the light

I chase away the dark

Abandon all of my burdens

I’m not alone

Never again

{ Some words }

Be grateful for that 1%. Enjoy having that 1%. Cherish it. This can help you deal with and convert the other 99%. There is so much more to life than whatever we are thinking, and we can always hope that tomorrow will be better!

From the bottom of my heart, I hope that you can find support, express yourselves, coexist with your feelings and emerge from the darkness stronger. You are immeasurably precious to all of us, so please take care of yourself and love yourself! There are many people who want to help you and there is probably a shoulder that you can lean on to.

I will like to end my message with some verses that may resonate strongly with you :)

“When there are troubles to go through

I look around and start anew

For there's comfort in the knowledge

That home's about its people too

So we'll build our dreams together

Just like we've done before

Just like that river which brings us life There'll always be Singapore”

— “Home” by DickLee

Times are tough but I know you will be able to get through this. Do things that make you happy and talk to the people around you if you feel overwhelmed. Don't be afraid to seek help. Stay strong and take care :)
