Company External Leadership Report

2011-11-17T21:50:00.000-08:00

> There has been a number of trends seen in the numbers so far.
> The asterisk (i.e. *) denotes a number that I am not sure of, do comment if I have made any errors.
> Sec 2s going for VELOCI-T, please read the notices at the bottommost portion.

> The first and satisfying one is the number of BB boys sent to VELOCI-T per year.
> Those sent in one year would have been training to take over leadership positions the next year (e.g. VELOCI-T 2007 was training for the year 2008).
> Note that for year 2011, the redshirts and blackshirts are pending as their promotion has yet to be confirmed (from junior leaders and senior leaders respectively, which occurs a few weeks after the camp).

2007 - *4 redshirts (Total = 4)
2008 - 2 redshirts (Total = 2)
2009 - 4 redshirts, 1 junior leader (Total = 5)
2010 - 6 redshirts, 1 blackshirt (Total = 7)
2011 - 6 pending redshirts, 3 pending blackshirts, 1 returning blackshirt (Total = 10 - Shaun Lim not going = 9)

> Here are the number of redshirts sent from BB as a percentage of the number of people in each batch.
> Those sent in one year would have been training to take over leadership positions the next year (e.g. VELOCI-T 2007 was training for the year 2008).

2007 - *22.2%
2008 - 16.7%
2009 - 26.3%
2010 - 35.3%
2011 - 50.0%

> This would be the number of PSLs per year from BB.
> It is our hope that this number can be improved, as most people who manage to become PSLs were seen to further develop and enhance their skills for the betterment of themselves and 2nd company.

2008 - 1 (Squad leader in BB)
2009 - Nil
2010 - 3 (1 Squad leader, 1 Chairman, 1 CSM in BB)
2011 - 1 (Squad leader in BB)
2012 - 2 (TBC)

> However the number of people in each batch has been fluctuating for a period of time before dwindling slightly since 2006.
> This pattern may continue for quite some time unless we boost our numbers during the open house. Which means we all have important roles to play this Saturday.
> Those who entered in a year would have been/to be trained for council 2 years later (i.e. The incoming batch in 2006 was trained for council in 2008)

2006 - *17
2007 - 12 (1 went IP in 2009)
2008 - 19 (2 went IP in 2010)
2009 - 17 (1 went IP in 2011)
2010 - 12 (2 going to IP come 2012)
2011 - *12
2012 - Target of 17

> Here is a gentle request that every single person play a role in getting as many Founders men as possible.
> Not everyone who is expected to get their Founder award will eventually attain it, so please keep that in mind.
> Note that those in the council in a year will get their award the next year if they qualify.

2006 - 8
2007 - 5
2008 - 5
2009 - 7 (CSM did not get his award)
2010 - 3 (CSM did not get his award)
2011 - 3 (Chairman did not get his award)
Are we able to up our numbers again this year?

NOTICES:

> All sec 2s and 3s going for VELOCI-T this year (i.e. tomorrow), congratulations (you won't regret going for the camp I tell you xD) and all the best (for you have to work for something).

> Sec 2s who are going: do check your FB inbox between 7 to 8 p.m.today. Some advice and tips will be sent to you guys to explain further why I've used the phrase 'all the best'.

> Those sec 2s who have not been selected to go for VELOCI-T, do not be discouraged, but rather, think about what you've got to improve (e.g. have you been talking away with your other friends when your seniors are making an announcement or giving instructions? Have you been taking the initiative to speak up and give new ideas). If you do so, I say: that's self-leadership right there! (:

> CSM 2010/11, Jonathan Lim, if you want to add anything at all, please do comment. :)

BB Share-a-Gift

2010-12-06T01:33:00.000-08:00

Hey guys,

This post is just to clarify some details for those who are confused or if this is your first time.

Venue: BBHQ (Opposite Great World City, click here for details on how to get there.)
Reporting Time: 0830
Dismissal Time: 2045-2130
Attire: Full Uniform.
Items to Bring:
BB Polo PT Kit
Water Bottle
EZ-Link Card with at least $2

14/12/10: SGT Neo Wei Hang
20/12/10: SGT Ho Ren Yi Jonas
21/12/10: SGT Lim Ting Jie

When you reach BBHQ, you should see the warehouse inside. Turn right and look for 2nd Coy people in the open field. And at 0830, we will fall in IN THREES. Not squads. And report to the IC.

Next, it will be allocation of jobs. There are 3 different jobs:

1) Outpost. These outposts will be mainly covered by Founder's Award Applicants (FAAs). You will only be chosen if there are not enough FAAs to cover all of the outposts. You will be sent to a NTUC Fairprice Supermarket in pairs or threes. When you arrive, you will just collect and organise the donations into the boxes provided. $10 will be given to you for lunch and dinner. You will be released anytime from 2100 at the supermarket you are posted to when a primer comes to dismiss you. Further instructions will be given.

2) Warehouse. You will stay in HQ to recieve the donations from the various Supermarkets. You will be unloading, organising and packing donations. Lunch and Dinner will be provided. You should be released latest by 0930.

3) Delivery. You will deilver the donation bags to the benificaries. When you are waiting for a Delivery Order (D.O.), you will help with warehouse.

This is a brigade level event. So be punctual and do as they say. The HQ people will punish you and not us. Also, as Ting Jie has said, DO NOT address us by our NCO roles (eg. Chairman, CSM) for we are not in charge of the event. We are only in charge of company level and NOT brigade level stuff. Just address us as sergeants.

Thanks,

Chairman Lim Ting Jie, CSM Lim Shi Min Jonathan

Sec 2s - 3 boys

opportunities for leadership potential, which will prove useful for any NCO-to-be next year.

Stastics - BB PSLs for the last 3 years:

2008 - 1 PSL

2009 - 0 PSLs

2010 - 3 PSLs

Hi 2nd Company,

Congratulations to all who have been promoted today! We hope do that your commitment and loyalty to the company will remain as strong as ever, and that 2nd Company can progress to greater height in years to come!

We comemorated the formation of our very own Band during the Band Annual General Meeting yesterday. We discussed the achievements that the band has made over the last two and a half years and also the goals that the band will be working towards. We hope that with determination, maturity and hard work, the band will continue to develop and advance in time to come.

Our Character Quest teams have worked very hard for this year, and has brought 2nd company up to tops, with two teams attaining a 5th and 12th position respectively. This is a great achievement for the company, and we are all thankful to have achieved this. Congrats, once again, to the winning teams, consisting of Ernest, Jonas, Wei Hang, Lemuel, Wesley, Jonathan, Benjamin Low and last but not least, David!

With Term 3 finally coming to a close, the next challenge that lies ahead of all of us is the final academic battle of the year: The End-of-Year Examinations. It will constitute to about 45% of your overall grade for the year. So for those who have not been scoring well, this is your last chance to make a difference in your academic results!

Finally, the NCO Council would like to congratulate the Sec 1s for successfully planning and executing our Company BBQ for the year. The whole company had much fun. It was a really good job as a result of excellent workmanship by every single one of the Sec 1s. All of you made a difference in the BBQ today and we are sure your officers (and primers) are proud of you.

Presenting the BBQ committee, in no particular order:

Company BBQ 2010

2010-08-24T03:34:00.000-07:00

Hi all!

The last parade before the long break in preparation for the End-of-year Examinations will be held on the 11 September 2010. However this parade would be a special one. It will be the Company BBQ for the year, organised by our very own Sec. 1s.

This parade is compulsory (unless, of course, you have a valid reason) as it is the official BBQ of the year. This parade will be a rare opportunity for the entire company to bond together having food, chit chat and, more importantly, have fun together as one.

Consent forms will be issued at a later date.

Thank you :)

Chairman Lim Ting Jie

Arrow Scouts 71st Campfire 2010

2010-08-21T03:23:00.000-07:00

Hi all!

Victoria School's Arrow Scouts will be organising a combined campfire in the VS, with most of the action at our school's very own Parade Square.

It will be held on the 4th of September 2010 (Saturday), which starts at about 7 p.m. and lasts for approximately 3 hours.

Besides our CCA, there will also be uniformed groups from up to 10 different schools participating in the campfire. This campfire is a good opportunity to mix around with cadets from UGs in other schools, and strengthen the bonds between VSBB and Scouts.

You can look forward to a fun-filled night of activities, and it will definitely be a plus point if you have Scout cadets in your class going for the event too. This will enable you to spend the evening with not only you CCA friends, but also your fellow peers, and thus better uplift your spirits during the campfire.

It is not compulsory, but do consider going for this event if you have the time and make your decision by next parade. (Do note that there will not be any parade on that day, with the exception of those participating in CQ. So going for the campfire does not bring you any loss, but instead gives you something that you can take away from.)

Thanks! =D

CSM Jonathan Lim and Chairman Lim Ting Jie (yes, we'll be there too)

2nd Update of BBCQ 2010

2010-07-25T01:26:00.000-07:00

Hi all!

We will be having our Annual Character Quest Competition on 4 September 2010.

This year's theme is "BE EXTRAORDINARY". For this year, we are studying about the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul as described in Acts 8-9 & 12:25 - 21:17. See how the Apostle Paul was extraordinary in his personal life, in his family, among his friends, in his community and in the world.

We can send 4 teams of 4, with 1 reserve for each team. Currently 19 people have signed up.

There is still 1 open space so for those who are interested please contact me to register.

My no. is 84843597. Although the spaces are filled, you can still sign up as there might be a selection test and there might be spare spaces to fill so you can still sign up!

Training Hours are most likely to be during parade hours so it should not be a problem.

If you have any other queries, please post a question on the tag board or contact me!

Thanks!

June Camp Debrief

2010-06-24T22:02:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! I wanted to say this during debrief but unfortunatly, due to my voice problems, I was unable to. So here is what I have to say!

Firstly, I would like to thank the whole company for coming to the camp, when things did not go according to plan due to unforeseen circumstances, you guys waited patiently for us to settle our stuff. We hoped that you had enjoyed playing our games, and have learnt more about how to face your giants!

Next, thanks to the Sec 2s for planning such a wonderful night games, everyone enjoyed it. I hope that you guys have some experience on planning an event and know what kind of screw ups to avoid. Keep up the good work and continue to work hard!

Thirdly, I would also like to thank the council, for planning this camp and try to make it a success. There are many other camps and events to plan, let whatever we have done wrong in this camp be a lesson, and learn from it, and plan better events next time round.

Finally, I would like to thank all the officers, teachers and CLTs for coming down to the camp to facilitate and give us advice on how to better run a camp. Without you all, we could not have excuted the camp properly.

That is all for now, and I hope you all have enjoyed this camp and we shall look forward to other greater and better events. Thank you (by CSM Lim Shi Min Jonathan)

The Riddle Contest

2010-03-28T21:39:00.000-07:00

At night when you wander, I watch where you go. I see you in summer. I see you in snow. My brothers together and I in the night will watch you and guide you, but leave at day light. Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully. Privilege is the greatest enemy of right.

Taking over of Company

2010-03-27T21:37:00.000-07:00

Hello everybody, here is your new web admins Darren and Lip Sing. As behalf of the company, we would like to thank the officers, primers and the previous council for giving us this honourable oppurtunity to lead the company to greater heights. We will not let you down and we would do our best. Lastly, we shall end of with this quote "Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is a process and working together is a success."

Handing over of Company

2010-03-27T21:36:00.000-07:00

The previous year has been a sucessful one for the Company and the Boys, partially due to the good leadership from NCO Council '09/'10. Now its the time for handover of the Company. Remember the first parade we took last year was the AQ prize giving ceremony? So much has passed since then. During challenging times, the whole company stayed united as one, held together by the leaders. Together and overcame, one example was during the Financial Crisis and we couldn't get enough funds, and the squad leaders had to step in to ask for more effort from menbers. We hereby wish the new NCO Council will keep up the good work and perhaps even find aspects to improve. Have a good year, 2nd Company!

Parade order for Sec. 1s

2010-01-15T21:33:00.000-08:00
