There will be consequences for absences without valid reasons.
More information can be found on the RIRC treasure chest on the blog, under Admin Instructions.

We hope that this does not happen again.

Cadet-Link Activity attendance

Hey RIRC,

RIRC will be organising a Cadet-Link Activity with the links of De La Selle School on next Thursday, 19/5. This activity will be held after school, from 2.10pm to 4.30pm. Time for lunch as well as transport to the school will be provided. As such, we need you all to indicate your attendance on this link: http://goo.gl/forms/jqqRQDeu9d. The purpose of this activity is to allow the links of De La Selle School to have fun, and encourage them to join Red Cross as their CCA in secondary school. As such, we will be organising games for the links, and you all will be helping out in organising these games, by conducting the games for them on the actual day. More information will be released at a later date. This activity is a chance for you to interact with the links, and know them better, and also an opportunity for you to get more people to join Red Cross. Do note that this activity is a compulsory event, so if you are absent, you will need to have a valid excuse. Thank you :)
