Red Cross

Introduction

The Red Cross is a CCA that plays a vital role in the holistic development of students. The Red Cross CCA integrates character-building, leadership skills, essential life-saving techniques, and blood donation knowledge, emphasizing community service and humanitarian values.

Through this program, students develop important life skills such as teamwork, adaptability, and respect, while fostering a strong sense of civic responsibility and compassion. The CCA also provides opportunities for students to engage in service-learning projects and participate in competitions that promote leadership and resilience. By participating in the Red Cross CCA, students at Valour Primary School are nurtured to become empathetic leaders who contribute positively to their communities.
