Student Leadership

OVERVIEW

At Bukit View Secondary School, student leadership is more than a position—it is a journey of purpose, growth, and service. The Student Leaders’ Council (SLC) spearheads student-led initiatives that shape a caring, inclusive, and values-driven school culture.

Our student leaders are empowered to lead with empathy, act with integrity, and serve with heart—helping every Bukit Viewan to thrive in our shared commitment to Building Vistas and Sowing Success.

VISION

Our student leadership programme is grounded in the belief that every Student Leader plays a vital role in strengthening the heartbeat of the school. We envision our leaders to be:

Advocates and champions of school values
Creators of a positive and inclusive school culture
Engaging and empowering their peers to contribute meaningfully to a thriving school life

STUDENT LEADERS CORE IDENTITY

Every Bukit Viewan Student Leader is anchored in a shared identity shaped by three leadership ideals. These identities form the cornerstone of our leadership development efforts.

We believe that every Student Leader is a:

Role Model - who inspires peers to achieve and excel through their actions and character
Servant Leader - who serves and uplifts others to build a community that cares and shares
Courageous Advocate - who speaks up for what is right, upholds discipline, and champions respect and responsibility

These identities dovetail closely with our school’s vision of developing Engaged Learners, Empathetic Citizens, and Ethical Advocates.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

At Bukit View Secondary, leadership is a skill nurtured through purpose, reflection, and practice. Grounded in our school’s vision, our programme develops Student Leaders who are values-driven, self-aware, and action-oriented.

We achieve this through:

Progressive Opportunities

From class committees to the Student Leaders’ Council, students are given increasing levels of responsibility and platforms to lead.

Reflection and Self-Appraisal

Student Leaders regularly assess their growth through self-reflection and guided feedback, deepening their awareness and commitment to lead with purpose.

Leadership Identity Anchor

The identities of Role Model, Servant Leader, and Courageous Advocate—sets clear expectations for leadership behaviour and growth.

This structured, reflective approach ensures that every student leader grows in character, confidence, and capacity to serve the school community.

Stepping up to Serve

Presidential Elections serve as a defining moment for aspiring leaders, offering students a platform to demonstrate their vision, communication skills, and ability to inspire—a cornerstone of DSA leadership development at Bukit View Secondary.

Advocates for their Peers

Discussions during leadership workshops imbue leaders with the skills to champion student perspectives and drive meaningful improvements through platforms like the Student-Staff Dialogue.

Play, Grow & Glow

Through bonding with mentors and peers, DSA leaders join their fellow student leaders in experiential challenges to cultivate key leadership dispositions and forge a strong sense of camaraderie.

Paying it Forward

DSA leaders join their fellow student leaders as facilitators in key school events like the S1 Orientation Camp. Drawing from their own leadership experiences, they guide juniors through activities that promote teamwork and a sense of belonging, inspiring them to embrace leadership opportunities.

Growing through Guidance

Behind every successful DSA leader is the steady guidance of dedicated teachers who empower DSA leaders and their peers to grow in confidence and lead with purpose and empathy.
