Total Defence & Cross Country
The school held Total Defence day and cross country at Nanyang Poly. The uniform groups namely (NPCC, NCC & RED CROSS). We were seated in a circled area while the uniformed group showed us how to manage when there is an emergency.
The Red Cross showed us how to use our personal belongings to help a hurt person to wrap up the wound or to hold on to a fractured arm. They too showed us how to bandage our head if the bleeding do not stop. The NPCC showed us how to make a strecter using T-shirts and pole and a big cloth and pole. They even ask students to come out to try the strecter. The NCC showed us how to use their uniform to make clean water to drink out of dirty water when in a jungle.
After the uniformed group showed us the survivour skills, it was running time... When the whistle went off, i went running around the stadium. After 2 rounds around the stadium, it was another run again around the whole Nanyang Poly. Half way through, i felt very tired and felt like giving up but I persevere on and manage to reach the ending point. After the boys finished running, it was prize giving time. After the prize giving, we were very tired but still went home with a smile on our faces as we manage to finish the long run...
