discipline without any punishment or sorts. As such, we really admire the respect that
the school population has for the SLs.
Something that was rather interesting was that the outgoing leaders, for example, the
head prefect and the Head of Recruitment of PB, were still part of the student leader
executive committee even though they no longer assumed their former roles. In that
sense, the student leader executive committee is adjunct from PB, and one could
assume different roles in either one or both.
Many of their student leaders hold multiple positions across the various lead boards.
This is discouraged but there are still many student leaders with many positions.
In terms of initiatives, their school works in the same way as ours -- the SLs come up
with an initiatives that they want to carry out and the teachers have to approve of them
before they can be rolled out to the entire school.
3. Is there anything that you have learnt from this investiture and would like to
share with anyone else?
The student leaders who were hosting us were very outspoken and proactive, and
would approach us to strike a conversation if they saw us talking to each other. We felt
that this is something that we could learn from. By being more outspoken and proactive,
we would be able to come across as being more confident and passionate about the
various aspects of our schools and leave a better impression on visitors.
Though the board structures in different schools are vastly different (in terms of which
boards they have and what we all do), we are all leaders in our own capacity, and we all
lead to serve. No matter which school we come from, or which position we assume, the
reason as to why we chose to lead is ultimately the same -- to serve the school and the
community around us.
