N3 Cluster Humanities Debate (NA)







Accompanied the team to Punggol Sec for the N3 Cluster Humanities Debate (NA). Elsa was so proud of the team when they made it to the round 2 and emerged as the Champion. I was equally happy for the team. They were very nervous for the competition but had delivered their stand well.

Red Cross Current Affairs Competition 2010

Our unit is the Champion for North Zone. Evergreen runner-up and Nan Chiau 2nd runner-up.






Overall Comments by the judges for Category 3:

1. There is a need to maintain eye contact with the judges - some cadets were simply trying to memorize their script and forgot about eye contact.

2. One group impressed the judges with their creative presentation in the form of Q&A. In doing so, the judges could actually understand how the game was played better.

3. The judges were impressed by the creativity of one group which presented the board game in the form of a world map. It truly reflect the global nature of Red Cross. The game started with Geneva and ended up in Singapore. Through this game, the player also get to know more about IFRC as well as Singapore.

4. The font size for some of the brochure were too small. Some were quite good in presenting the work of IFRC on one side of the brochure and ICRC on the other side. A reminder by the judges that the emblem of Red Cross must be respected - there should not be any writing inside the emblem and that it should be on white background.

5. Overall, the judges were very impressed with all the presentation and said that all the 20 finalists should be given a prize. However, they were constrained by the rules laid - in fact they feel that 7 teams should be given a chance to go into the final!

Thanks to Chee Jean, Ahmad and Kittima who were also there to support the team.
