OVERVIEW OF STUDENT LEADERSHIP

Student leadership development is an integral part of the overall student development programme in Yuan Ching. Aligned to the school vision of every student ‘A Thinker, an Achiever and a Concerned Citizen’, the student leadership development is anchored on the belief of ’Every Student a Leader’.

A tiered approach is adopted for student leadership development. All students undergo basic personal leadership development, with opportunities provided to develop themselves progressively through customized programmes.

The progressive development of our student leaders is achieved through differentiated training and assessment for each of the 3 levels of student leadership: Personal Leadership, Peer Leadership and Inspiring Leadership for the respective segments of student leaders.

NYAA Affirmation Ceremony

Two students sit side by side at a classroom table, using a tablet with a keyboard cover. Both wear face masks and look closely at the screen, which shows a poster titled “How to Stop Cyberbullying” with steps like stop, block, record, and tell someone. A stylus, a laptop, and a green water bottle rest on the desk, while light green chairs and cables are visible in the background.

Student Council VIA Programme - Gift of Love

A group of students in orange shirts and school uniforms stand indoors on a marked grid on the floor. Each student places their hands on the shoulders of the person in front, forming a line as part of a team activity. Stacked chairs, a piano, and louvered windows appear in the background of the bright room.

Class Leaders Training

A student in a classroom sits holding a small illustrated card that reads, “If you can dream it, you can do it,” alongside a drawing of a school building. In the other hand, the student holds a lined worksheet for writing. Nearby desks and chairs are visible, and the scene suggests a quiet activity focused on encouragement and reflection.
