Student Leadership Programme

Guided by our school’s mission of “educating for self-awareness, curiosity, and integrity in a changing world,” we are embarking on a transformative journey that recognizes the importance of preparing students to thrive as responsible global citizens. Through these collaborative efforts, we developed a new Student Leadership Programme that aligns with our core values of courage, responsibility, relationships, and respect.

Student Leadership Team (StuLT) 

Aims and objectives

The student leadership team is a group of students whose main goal is to help foster a sense of community and belonging among RISS students and provide a structured approach to addressing student needs and concerns through leadership. By having a StuLT, students can have a voice in RISS decision-making and can provide feedback on various initiatives and events. This can lead to a more student-centred approach to school management.

The Student Leadership Team structure

  • The President of the Student Leadership Team is responsible for administering and upholding the Student Charter, attending all official meetings and events, presiding over meetings, collating campus issues and community service projects, being the liaison between the student body and the leadership team and motivating student participation in cultural activities. 

  • The JC President of the Student Leadership Team is prepared to assume the President’s responsibilities in case of absence or illness, ensuring the continuity of leadership. They are the main point of contact for the section representatives in the Junior Campus and their main role is ensuring that important information and updates are communicated effectively to the President and the student body. 

  • The Grade/Section Representative holds an important role and a set of responsibilities within their designated section. They serve as a liaison between the student body and the student leadership team, representing the interests and concerns of their section. 

  • The Secretary of the Student Leadership Team is responsible for attending all meetings and events, preparing and distributing meeting agendas, recording and compiling minutes, maintaining meeting and event records, managing a directory of officers and members, and taking attendance at organisation meetings. They are in charge of maintaining effective communication channels within the StuLT and with the student body.
