Red Cross

Raffles Institution Red Cross (RIRC) is a uniformed group which was established in 1954 as part of the Singapore Red Cross Youth (RCY) network. As part of RCY, RIRC seeks to cultivate the Red Cross ethos, aiming to nurture blooming cadets into humanitarian leaders. This is done through the teaching of 7 core subjects, assessed and qualified by RCY. The seven subjects are First Aid, Disaster Management, Youth Leadership, Service Learning, Red Cross Knowledge, Youth Ambassador Blood Programme and Total Defence. As a uniformed group, RIRC also conducts Foot Drill.

RIRC is not your typical RCY unit. Beyond curriculum, cadets’ soft skills are cultivated through enjoyable team-bonding activities targeted at cadet development, such as inter-platoon games. An added focus is placed on leadership development. In Y1-2, this focus is placed on the leadership of their respective platoons, while in Y3-4, the focus is shifted to leadership of the unit. Cadets are thus afforded many opportunities to lead their CCA mates, and ultimately, the CCA.
