My leadership journey in school started when I was a timid S1 girl. I decided to run for the Community Council and I had to give a speech in front of the whole grade. I remember freezing up on stage and completely messing up my speech, but I also remember my house leader coming up to me and encouraging me. My house leader gave me hope and made me feel supported. I never want to forget that feeling I had. […]
An activity that played around with our limits, making us scream with both happiness and disgust, the S1 camp would easily pass as one of the most memorable moments in this academic year. On the morning of the 24th of October, everyone bustled about with friends excited for camp, some were talking about the hike to the campsite, some were complaining about their groups and some were just clustered together chatting. Finally, when we gathered in our groups, everyone seemed […]
In September, five hard-working and eager P5 prefects had been selected to canvass for the role of Vice-Head Prefect. It had always been a dream of mine to help the student body, and being chosen to share my vision was such a mix of joy and nervousness. I would dream of speaking in front of my fellow schoolmates and teachers trying to serve the school community. More than anything, I knew that it would require hard work and determination to […]
It was only when asked to write about my leadership journey at SISHK that I stopped to consider – at what point did I become a leader? Was it when my form teacher nominated me in Primary 3 as a school monitor, a position I treasured because it meant a reward from my parents? Was it when I made the last-minute decision to make an election speech for the Community Council as a clueless S1? Or was it when I […]
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 […]
