Hong Kong Red Cross Youth Unit 63

About YU63

The Red Cross Youth unit 63 is one of the successful uniform groups in Buddhist Sin Tak College. It was established in 1974, the second year after the founding of our school. And there over 900 Sin Tak old boys and girls who were our members over the past 50 years. The number of members has been around 90 -100 in the last few academic years. Our unit has a steady and balanced development in different domains such as first aid and nusring training, community service, leadership training and open competitions.

Organization and Structure

Under the structure of Youth Unit of Hong Kong Red Cross, different positions are offered to our student committee members, namely, Head Section Leader, Section Leaders and Assistance Sector Leaders. In order to cater for a steady and systematic leadership training for our junior members, we invite F.2, F.3 and F.4 students to take up some key posts as we firmly believe that junior members can train themselves when they take part in different activities and assume more challenging duties.

Activities and Training

With a view to providing an informal education to our students, we offer different types of activities and training. Through achieving the five main principles of Red Cross Youth Campaigns, our members have different experiences in self development, learn to co-operate with others and respond to the difficulties they meet. We have regular training like drills, first aid, nursing, rescuing, knotting and skills in service. To enhance the bonds among members, we offer some friendship functions likes first aid training camp, wild camp, orientation party and farewell party. Our members have different roles in specific events. They learn through participation, and can pursue a higher achievement in their Red Cross life.
