A WORD FROM MS GANDIN PADRE'S WEEKLY BIBLE VERSE

“Better are the poor whose walk

Proverbs 28:6

This extract from the book of proverbs champions values of integrity in TKSCC. As Cadets in the unit develop from young men into strong leaders, it is important that their character remains consistent to the responsibility they are granted with.

Regardless of rank and posting in Corps, it is valuable to recognise that the best cadets do not necessarily carry the most authority. By upholding values and strong moral principles in every aspect of ones’ life, boys will be trusted, respected and rewarded for their strength in character, especially in situations where it may be challenged

Overall, Cadets who align their thoughts, words and actions to ‘walk’ the ‘blameless’ path and hold themselves accountable and consistent in their principles will find success in their endeavours in TKSCC.

"Corps is a great opportunity for the boys to take initiative in scenarios they would not normally find themselves in."

is blameless than the rich whose ways are perverse.”

MEDICS' FIRST AID INITIATIVE

What is the initiative being run?

The initiative is called bullrings, we allocate medics to different sections and split the platoon into each section, rotating once each section is finished. Every section teaches a different thing, for example; learning how to use an epi pen or how to deal with anaphylaxis, etc

What values of the TKSCC are learnt?

After finishing the initiative, cadets will have developed a good sense of teamwork, communication and initiative in taking care of others.

How may the skills learnt in this Initiative be applied to AFX?

On AFX injuries will be a common thing, with our initiative the cadets will be well prepared to aid their medics or in the case where there is no medics around, they will be able to take care of the situation themselves or until medics/staff can arrive
