Student Leadership

Student Leadership Mission
The Student Leadership Programme in Bedok South Secondary School aims to nurture our students to be self-motivated, responsible, self-reliant, and thinking individuals who can serve and contribute effectively to society and face all challenges with courage and confidence. The committee develops student leaders through school wide programmes and through specific skills training at every level towards holistic and balanced participation. Students in Bedok South Secondary School have an opportunity to get basic leadership skills and grow as leaders. Tiered programmes are designed to develop student leaders to develop leaders of tomorrow who will serve with conviction.

Student Leadership Framework
The Student Leadership Framework sets a hierarchy for all Student Leaders in the School. All students undergo the Tier 1 training done during CCE lessons and Assembly Programmes. Tier 2 Leaders hold appointments and undergo training specific to their roles and responsibilities. Tier 3 Leaders hold responsibilities beyond their classrooms and CCA. They may be engaged in Student Initiated Projects that benefit the school and the community. The framework adopts the Kouzes and Posner Model for Leadership Values and builds on the school’s ICARE values as well.

The Peer Support Leaders
The Peer Support Leaders (PSLs) play an important leading role in creating an inclusive schooling environment to help their peers feel safe, accepted, connected, and empowered through strong peer relationships. They strive to build and strengthen positive peer relationships through peer bonding, peer helping, and peer influencing.

The Class Leaders
The Class Leaders play an important part in the school. They are the first touchpoint the Student Leaders have with the students. Class leaders often serve as a bridge of communication between students and teachers. They are role models for their peers, demonstrating good behavior, responsibility, and a strong work ethic. They also oversee some initiatives to help students manage stress and maintain good mental health. In the digital age, class leaders also play a role in educating their peers about online safety, responsible internet use, and cyberbullying prevention.

CCA Leaders
The CCA leaders are managed by the CCA teachers in-charge. They include Captains of Sports, Sergeant Majors of Uniform Groups and President and Chairpersons of Performing Arts and Clubs/Societies. EXCOs of each CCA also play a part in the CCA Leadership. Each CCA group is led by its teachers and respective CCA Coordinators.
