Nurturing responsible students

The School encourages students to be responsible at a young age by appointing them in various leadership positions. Prefects are school leaders and student role models who guide, counsel and help their peers develop positive behaviour towards school life. At the commencement of the academic year the Head of School appoints students to the Prefects Council. The appointed Head Prefect and four Deputies lead this council for a year.

The School Students’ Council leads most of the school events, co-curricular actitivities and clubs. This Council promotes student leadership and involvement in school affairs. Consisting of two teachers, all prefects and a class representative, it is chaired by the Head Prefect with an appointed secretary. They meet to exchange ideas and address issues concerning the entire school community. Council recommendations are given to the Headmaster for consideration and feedback.

Two core components of the Council are the Extra-Curricular Activities (ECAC) and Sports Committees. They supervise various club activities and organise the Annual Sports Day with guidance from Club Patrons (teachers) and the Sports Master. The ECAC also presents the ‘Club of the Month’ award to a club for its outstanding contribution to co-curricular activities.
