I started my leadership journey early on in my time at SISHK. I was a school prefect since Primary 3 and kept the position until I graduated from primary school. However, I took a step back from all that when I moved up to the secondary section, intimidated by the older brothers and sisters who seemed so much more wise and mature. Gradually, though, as I grew accustomed to the new environment, I truly felt like I was a part […]
I became a member of the LKY house when I joined SISHK in Secondary 2. I still vividly remember the very first house meeting; I sat with my classmates and listened to our house leaders share about the inter-house events and activities. Every house meeting in the past 4 years was filled with a lot of laughter and enjoyments. My journey in SISHK changed me as it made me a better person. When I first came to SISHK, I was […]
I started my leadership journey here at SISHK in S1, as a wide-eyed student councillor. I vividly remember my first Student Council meeting: it was a Wednesday lunchtime, with the cool air of autumn permeating every classroom, and I recall feeling nervous and unsure of myself as I walked into the 405 meeting room. We were asked to introduce ourselves, and why we’d run; shakily I stood up and mumbled something along the lines of “helping to make the school […]
My leadership journey in Singapore International School (Hong Kong) started back in Secondary One, when I joined the Athletic Council, without knowing what an adventure this experience will turn out to be! I stayed in that council for three years, allowing myself to meet and mingle with people in the different grades as I began to learn more about myself and what kind of leader I aspired to be. In Secondary Three, I entered the Audio Visual Committee for two […]
I started my leadership journey as the Vice President for the Leadership Action Committee (LAC) back in March 2017 as a very small and humble Secondary 3 student. This feels like a long time ago but is only just over a year and a half back. Through my time in that position, I felt more connected to the school and had a drive and a want to do more for the school, which resulted in me running to be the […]
Through many years as a student at SISHK, I think I’ve grown a lot as a leader. From having minor roles in the primary section such as being a class and school monitor, I progressed to being a prefect and then a member of the Athletic Council (AC). My teachers and schoolmates have guided me to learn from my mistakes and shortcomings, inspiring me to strive to be a better leader. I have constantly been encouraged to keep growing with […]
Being the new Head of House of Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) would be my very first official leadership experience, after pretty much sitting on the sidelines as a follower throughout my school life, I decided that it was time to give back, and contribute to the school community. LKY house has been a big part of my secondary school experience, and that was always because of great and inspirational leadership from the previous Heads of Houses. Now, taking on this […]
My leadership journey in SISHK began as the captain of the U14 girls volleyball team. Young, apprehensive and very inexperienced, I let my emotions cloud my judgement and I was not a very good leader. Fast forward to Sec 4, I was selected once again to lead the U16 volleyball team. Even though I was older, I realised I had a lot to learn. I remember being very pessimistic after losing nearly every game, but I also remember my seniors […]
As we spy our opponents warming up, anxiety and nervous anticipation spread through my body, knowing that our opponents are more experienced, stronger and faster compared to us. However, once the piercing sound of the whistle is heard, adrenaline always rushes through my veins and the queasy feeling evaporates. I witness the energy and enthusiasm of our teammates motivating one another to persevere despite our exhaustion, developing tenacity in our characters. Trainings have been intense, yet fun and rewarding. We […]
