I learnt that you need to adjust to the limb size , and estimate the amount of bandage needed to complete 1 round.

I learnt that it is fine to have a gap behind the palm bandage.

I learnt that the forearm bandage should cover 2/3 of the previous bandage each round.

I can improve on making the bandage less tight and communicating with the casualty to ensure that they do not feel uncomfortable.

I can improve on ensuring that my bandage does not have many creases.

One thing I did well in was tucking in the ends securely.

revising old bandages

how to make my bandages neater

making my bandages faster

2 things I will improve in:

Making my bandages tighter

Adjusting the number of rounds to the casualties limb’s size

1 thing I did well in:

Making the bandages faster than usual

Ma’am the second thing I learnt today is how command my squad correctly ma'am. Ma’am the third thing I learnt today was how to correctly march up to the chairperson ma'am. Ma’am firstly I can improve on is raising my legs at 90° not any higher or lower ma'am. Ma’am the second thing u can improve on is making sure my arms swing exactly till 45° when marching up to the chairperson ma'am. Ma’am one thing I did well in is reporting to the chairperson clearly ma'am. Thank you ma'am.

1 thing I did well in was doing the bandages fast

Ma’am the second thing I learned today is how to properly march to the ma’am, by raising the arms one 90 degrees and the other 45 degrees ma’am. Ma’am the third thing I learned today is how to properly say the commands to my squad after they have fallen in ma’am. Ma’am, the first thing I can improve on is raising my leg properly to 90 degrees, and the second thing I can improve on is locking my arms better ma’am. Ma’am, one thing I did well in is how I reported to the ma’am properly and did not forget what I had to say ma’am.

CCA over the past 2 years has been really fun with a lot of fun memories with my squadmates and seniors. I have learnt various skills such as bandaging and transportation of casualty which make me feel more prepared incase of an emergency and i have learnt how to do them faster. I also learnt how to do different commands during footdrills. As for soft skills, I have learnt various facts about red cross, blood and what to do when there is an emergency during Red Cross Knowledge, YABP and DM. I believe that I have improved in being more responsible as deadlines are very important during Red Cross. I also feel that I have learnt more about teamwork as all of us as a squad needs to discuss with one another about various things. I need to improve on being more serious during cca time as even though the cca is fun, it is still a uniformed group and there is a time and place to laugh but not during GRC for example. I think the Sec 3's did a great job teaching us over the past year and have taught me a lot of new things. When we needed help they did not complain and were very patient with us but were atill strict wheb they needed to be. For future CCA lessons, maybe more kahoot games can be introduced or more bonding sessions with the sec 1s, 2s and 3s.

I would say that CCA has been very smooth sailing and quite fun so far. To be honest RCY has helped me really grow as a person. In RCY, I developed a sense of belonging, due to my ma’ams and my squad mates, and have also become more confident as a person. RCY has also helped me better my sense of teamwork as most of the activities are done together with squad mates instead of doing it alone. In terms of hard skills, I’ve learnt how to make the immobilisation for fractured leg more tighter. Moreover I think my commanding for the stretcher in DM also has improved due to the feedback from my ma’ams; although I do think I have room to improve. In terms of soft skills, I would say my resilience has increased due to the many Foot drills lessons. However I think I still have to improve when it comes to DM as the casualty transportation takes way to long as there is low coordination on our part. I think the ma’ams have been really helpful after stepping up as they give good feedback on where we’re going wrong or what we’re doing wrong which I really appreciate. Additionally, I think that the FA summary has really helped me get a better understanding on how to treat different injuries. I’d love to see more Kahoot and Blooket in future CCA sessions!

CCA has been something i had always looked forward to after school and enjoyed. Most of the time, CCA is very fun as we get to experience our ups and downs together. I have learnt many skills and new things during CCA from bandaging wounds to transporting casualties with a strethcer for my hard skills. Moreover, learning how to deal with a suspicious black bag in the open and learning about all the different blood types and who can be donated to who was something else ive taken away from our lessons. I have not only improved on the speed of my bandaging, but also ability to stay still during GRC. However, i can still work on many other things such as being more serious and to stop laughing during GRC. I feel that the ma'ams now are very good leaders and lessons are enjoyable with them knowing when to be strict with us and when we are able to laugh together. I feel that future lessons can include more bonding with all the squads.

CCA had been very enjoyable so far, I look forward to every session. I’ve learned a lot, and have grown to be a better leader, in terms of being IC basically every CCA session. I’ve also improved a lot in my first aid as compared to last year, in both theory and practical. Through doing the summary of injuries and their treatments, I’ve become more familiar with the different types of injuries and how to treat them and during CCA sessions, after practicing, I’ve become faster in doing the bandages, and doing them well. I’ve also improved a lot in DM thanks to the amazing teaching from the sec 3s. I think the teaching style of all the sec 3s is really good, and I enjoy the lessons. Through all the CCA sessions, I’ve also to be more patient and confident. 

CCA has been a really enriching experience. When I first joined, I was unsure of what to expect. Over time, I started to enjoy the lessons, looking forward to every CCA session, even the camps at the start of the year. The small CCA size seemed like a disadvantage at first, but now I think it makes the CCA better as I can really experience the camaraderie part of a uniform group CCA, overcoming obstacles together and never feeling unsupported or alone. I feel like I have really grown in many ways, like having more confidence from being IC; the importance of discipline and precision during footdrills where every detail matters, from my posture to timing; having more resilience and stamina from the physical training lessons; teamwork, coordination, communication skills and cooperation from again - footdrills, and disaster management. I have learnt many skills in the various RCY subjects, from knowing how to transport a casualty on a stretcher, bandaging someone for their injuries, immobilizing a body part for a fracture, doing CPR on an unconscious casualty, to knowledge like what to do during a terrorist attack, and even about the components in blood. All this made me feel confident, knowing that I can now make a difference when it matters the most. Participating in the VIAs like the beach clean-up also opened my eyes to the fact that small actions can have a big impact. Reflecting now, I can see how much I have improved, especially in my leadership and problem solving abilities, yet I know there is still room to grow. Overall, RCY has not been just a CCA, it’s been a journey of new experiences, learning and contribution. I am proud of how far my squad has come and I hope we can continue to strive for excellence. I think that the secondary 3s are doing a great job right now too, having much patience when we make mistakes etc. I hope I can test my skills in more first aid or disaster management lessons! 

CCA has been in an enjoyable and fun. I’ve leant more things about the CCA and from the CCA that I didn’t know before. I have learnt how to do first aid, how to improve and work on my foot drills and how to keep calm a handle things during a disaster (Disaster management).Aside from that, i also learnt more about teamwork and how i can work with my squad or unit to accomplish something. I still think that i need to improve on my foot drills as sometimes i mess up a that gets the whole squad scolded, i should practice alone or ask my squad mates for help if i get confused.The sec 3 ma’am’s have been fair and even and they always push us to achieve the best. They will give us feedback and tell us how we’ve been doing to encourage us to improve further.I would love to have more revision through Kahoot during first aid or any other theory lessons in the future. Overall, i love CCA and everyone in it.

CCA has honestly become one of the things I look forward to the most every week. No matter how stressful school gets, CCA is a space where I feel happy and motivated. Over time, I’ve built strong bonds with my squadmates and seniors. Not only that ,I have learnt many important life saving skills such as bandaging wounds and identifying the injuries, transporting casualties to safer areas. I’ve become more disciplined and responsible, especially when it comes to time management and meeting expectations. Throughout my time, I’ve picked up important technical skills,from learning procedures and protocols to handling real-life scenarios, I’ve become more confident and capable. These experiences have taught me how to stay calm under pressure and act quickly and responsibly. I think one thing I could do better is holding my laughs and avoid making faces during GRC/dismissal and especially during Case study. I think I need to start taking cca more seriously so I can improve myself and because it is still a uniform group. I think the seniors have been trying their very best despite their small number. They try their best to make lessons engaging and enjoyable.I really appreciate the effort they put into guiding us, their patience and being strict with us when necessary. They have really taught us many things! I would maybe like to have more first aid lesson where we bandage and maybe more blooklet for future lessons.

CCA has been a great experience for me so far. Through CCA, I have learnt both hard and soft skills that helped me grow as a person, such as first aid knowledge, drills, and discipline, which gave me more knowledge on how to handle situations. At the same time, I learnt teamwork, communication, and resilience, as working with my squad mates taught me how to cooperate better and support one another. I feel I have improved in being more disciplined and focused during CCA, but I know I can still do better in taking initiative to answer some questions during DM and FIRST AID.. After the secondary 3s stepped up, the sessions have been more fun and motivating, and I really appreciate the effort put into planning and guiding us. For future sessions, I would like to have more hands-on practice for first aid and more bonding activities so we can get to know the sec 2s more.

CCA has been great so far. I have learned a lot, and the core subjects of Red Cross helped me be better prepared. I have learned First Aid skills and how to react appropriately when facing emergencies and disasters. Red Cross also helped me to develop leadership. I feel that I can better improve my foot drills and I feel that I do well in subject accreditations. The ma'ams have been really wonderful and I felt that we can have more Welfare sessions as it really makes CCA something to look forward to and more engaging.

For aiders and reserve

- What went well? What did you do to make it go well?

- How did you prepare for FAC?

- What do you think went wrong? What can you do to improve it before the next FAC?

- What are your goals for the next FAC? What are you going to do to achieve it?

For everyone in the squad

• What you enjoyed about the FAC training sessions

• What were some struggles you faced during these sessions

• How you overcame them

• How can we (seniors) improve our training plans (can be anything eg FA/DM/How we conduct it etc)

• How do you plan on changing/tweaking these trainings so that your juniors will enjoy them even more when you step up

Study Chapter 2 - unconscious casualty (non-cardiac arrest) from your SFA (standard first aid) Manual. FA ICs will be testing you to check for understanding on Wednesday.

I enjoyed the fun but fruitful case studies. We tested our skills and our time.

One struggle I faced during the case study sessions was time management. I was a bit slow with the bandages I did.

I over came it by going home and practising that bandage a few more times then I became faster in the bandage.

I think to really stimulate a FAC like environment, we should conduct the case studies in the hall because of the familiar environment there are chances we could do better.

I think instead of continuous case studies that might burn out the juniors we should give breaks in between of other subjects too.

some things i enjoyed about the FAC training sessions were that i got to be the casualty so that the first siders could practice. i struggled only when my hair was messy, but i just re-tied it. i think that the training was good enough.

-I think the human stretcher went better than expected! I thought I’d lose my balance or something but thankfully didn’t. It’s all thanks to the strict but rewarding training sessions and case studies.

-I prepared for FAC by studying the manual thoroughly and practicing bandages every day. I also sent pictures of my bandages to Ma’am Zhi Yan, the feedback was really helpful!!!

-I wasted too much time trying to rip off the micro pore tape, I completely forgot to take the scissors. Next time if there are abrasions on the casualty I will definitely remember to rake scissors.

-My goal is to get top 3 for FAC next year. I can do that by consistently revising and improving my skills.

-I enjoyed the unique scenarios for case study! I also liked the fact that I was finally showing some improvement.

-I was struggling, sometimes, to even get my fundamentals right, which goes to show how important practice is.

-I practiced every day. I read and reread the manual every morning on my commute to school. I also sent pictures of my bandages almost everyday closer to FAC.

-Y’all are really good at teaching 🥹 I feel like our school’s RCY is one of the most up to date ones. But for FA I think more case studies could’ve been conducted last year but otherwise, YOU ROCK.

-Although I don’t plan on being FA IC I would suggest the future ICs to add more case studies so that the juniors have more training and have a gist of what FAC is gonna be like. I feel like I would also try to move around different places of the school every session so that the juniors don’t feel confined in the classroom.

FAC went well as we made it into the finals, due to our hard work. I took pictures of 2 different bandages daily and sent them to ma'am Zhi Yan, and learnt and improved from her feedback. We also had case studies every CCA session to prepare for any scenarios that could come out, which really strengthened our teamwork and communication with each other, making us more confident. I could have recited the steps to take before administering AED faster, and will make sure to practice saying it without hesitation at the next FAC. My goal for the next FAC is to get into the finals and be in the top 3. I can achieve this by having more case studies with my squadmates and testing each other's knowledge on theory.

I really enjoyed the sense of teamwork and camaraderie, and getting to test my knowledge. I also accepted my mistakes with an open mind and learned a lot from them. A struggle I faced were the unique scenarios, like doing a forehead bandage while making sure to not touch my casualty when the AED prompted to do so. However, these made the scenarios memorable and fun, leading me to remember what to do if it really came out during FAC. I think that the seniors have been such good role models! There isn't really much to improve on, as shown by the FAC finalist result, but if I really had to suggest something the seniors can improve on is separating the bandages for face/eye, and shoe/foot for hygiene purposes. When I step up, I will try to do the above! I will also ask my juniors for feedback every few lessons, so I am informed on what they like or dislike about the CCA sessions, and improve on the sessions based on this feedback if possible.

as a casualty ,i enjoyed seeing my squad mates grow as first aiders and become more disciplined over the case studies. A struggle i faced was trying to remember my injuries so that I give the right information to my squad mates. For improvements, maybe more case studies can be conducted with the sec ones and two's before the FAC date just for them to know the feel of it. But honestly there you guys have done A LOT of case studies with us which i think is great. Not sure what I would do to improve trainings just yet but possibly add more kahoots for each chapter of FA.

To prepare for FAC, I revised the SFA manual everyday and discussed it with squad mates, as well as noted down any questions we had so that we could ask the seniors to clarify our doubts. I also did 2 bandages a day at home and sent a video to ma’am Zhi Yan to give me feedback on how I could improve on the.

My goal for next year’s FAC is to make it to the top 3 schools, and definitely a possibility, to get first place. To be able to achieve it, I hope to have 2 case studies a month after my squad steps up, as well as revise the SFA manual once in a while, to retain my knowledge of first aid. I will also practice my bandages at home once a week, to be consistent in my skills to bandage.

What I enjoyed most about the FAC sessions were the case studies. I enjoyed the pressure to treat the casualties quickly, and be able to test my FA knowledge, bandaging skills and CT skills. It was fun to be able to do all of this within 7 minutes, which boosted my confidence that we would do well for FAC, since the treatment and CT time for FAC was longer than 7 minutes. Some struggles I faced was to decide whether to get bandages to start treating the casualty before anyone called for the stretcher team. I was not sure if both casualties needed to be transported using the stretcher or if only my casualty needed, since no one had called for stretcher yet. I overcame this challenge by assuming that the other casualty should be transported first, and leaving the retrieving of bandages to treat to a team mate.

Honestly, I think that the trainings are really fun and enjoyable, and yet we learn a lot too. I’m not sure if there’s more to improve on. I really like the styles of the sessions, but that is my personal preference. Maybe for FAC training or for any case studies, we should always have mock judges to take note of every mistake we make just in case we don’t realise it ourselves, like forgetting to change gloves. If I become the FA IC, will definitely continue to use this style of training, I think it was very effective, especially training with only 7 minutes when the actual timing is 10 minutes.

I believe that most of us like to play games to learn, like kahoot, blooket, hangman etc. So if the juniors do enjoy games like these, I will try to play these games during the subjects I teach to make them more fun and engaging, and also to test what they’ve learnt. It really depends on how the juniors like to learn, whether it is through games like kahoot or hangman, or maybe they need motivation to learn by getting rewards if they do well. I will definitely try my best to encourage them, even if they don’t do well for accreditations.

Not only that, but i also felt like i needed improvement on myself to be more consistent and more hardworking.

Everything during FAC had gone well since we had managed to get into finals and I supported the team from the side and help to carry everyone’s bags. I prepared for FAC by re-reading the SFA manual and practised at bandages at home. My goals for the next FAC is to make it finals again. Im going to try to achieve this goal by spending more time revising my bandages and especially theory since my theory is not that strong.

I enjoyed the different scenarios and aiding my squad mates even thought their acting were not the best. Some struggles I faces during this sessions is when I freeze up and get nervous when ma’am Zhi Yan watches me. Another thing I have been struggling with is how I laugh easily or make faces while I bandage. I’m still trying to overcame my nervousness by not looking at ma’am Zhi Yan or I’ll just stare at her until she leaves and goes to the next casualty. Although it’s hard not to laugh during the case study sessions, I have stopped laughing regularly by not laughing.

I’m think the seniors training plans are quite good so it doesn’t really need any improvement,oversll I think all of the seniors conduct their lessons amazingly.

I think the future FA IC should more Kahoot because everyone loves kahoot and the juniors would be more engaged and enjoy the lessons! Knowing that they would play kahoot would idk make them motivated to learn their theory to win first place since first place has lot of aura. Another suggestion is to conduct more case study sessions so as they would know how FAC would be like.
