Student Leadership Opportunities 

 

Leadership and Service 

We highly value nourishing leadership capacity in our students through a broad range of opportunities. We believe that student leaders play a vital role in shaping our school community and empowering their peers. Service to others is an equally significant learning pathway in an individual’s character development. Both of these important aspects play a crucial role in fostering personal growth, community engagement, and positive social impact.

Developing students’ leadership capacities is integrated with student learning.  During their Units of Inquiries, Junior School Students are encouraged to take action to make a meaningful difference within and beyond our school community. 

Students in Grades 4 and 5 have the opportunity to represent the Junior School by becoming members of the JS Student Council, which  contributes to school decisions, activities and service. The Student Council promotes student leadership and responsibility, and empowers students to make a difference.

Senior leadership opportunities range from our Student Council, our Prem Panthers sports teams, our four Houses, our Prem Ambassadors, as buddies for new students, as delegates and leaders in MUN, World Scholar's Cup, our student-founded and run Foodbank and many more! Senior School students also have opportunities to lead the direction of their learning through various projects, subject options or programme pathways.

We ensure that student leadership in multiple areas of school life is recognised, celebrated and supported through:

  • Inclusive leadership opportunities
  • Mentoring and guidance
  • Service- learning initiatives
  • Student-led initiatives, clubs and organisations

 

  • Student representation and involvement
  • Reflection and growth opportunities
  • Amplifying student voices
  • Involving student leaders in decision-making processes
  • Collaboration and teamwork
  • Recognition and appreciation

Our commitment to valuing and nourishing student leadership is visible throughout Prem and within our wider community. We recognise the potential of our young leaders at all ages, empower them to become active agents of change who make a difference, and strive to create an environment that encourages their growth, and cultivates a sense of social responsibility and empathy.

Through these experiences, students contribute positively to their communities, grow personally as principled, compassionate global citizens and gain valuable life skills for future endeavours
