Red Cross
The GYSS Red Cross is a uniformed group dedicated to instilling discipline, teamwork, and the Red Cross's seven core principles. Through training in First Aid, Disaster Management, and Youth Leadership, we support students' holistic development by building confidence, responsibility, and compassion whilst nurturing a passion for volunteerism.
Our structured yet diverse approach combines practical skills training, national programmes, and inter-unit bonding activities. Cadets gain valuable experience through leadership camps, competitions, modular workshops, and community service, fostering well-rounded, competent leaders ready to respond in emergencies and serve their communities with empathy and commitment.
Key Programme
First Aid Championship
Our cadets actively participate in the annual First Aid Championship, where they demonstrate and refine their first aid knowledge through a series of realistic, simulated emergency scenarios. This competition provides an invaluable platform for them to apply practical skills, collaborate under pressure, and learn from one another. Working cohesively as a team, they are trained to evacuate casualties efficiently and administer appropriate medical attention within critical timeframes. Through their dedication, resilience, and commitment to excellence, our cadets consistently achieve commendable results, securing at least bronze or silver awards each year.
Student Voice
"Red Cross Youth has instilled in me the values of discipline, respect, and teamwork. Serving as the chairperson for 2024/2025 further developed my leadership abilities, boosted my confidence, and gave me the courage to speak up and lead with purpose."
