Student Leadership Development
Discover how Nanyang nurtures confident, resilient leaders through the Discover–Develop–Shine approach, giving all students rich opportunities to grow and lead.
The school aims to nurture all students to be role models and servant leaders with a clear sense of purpose and agency. When faced with challenges, they remain resilient and are confident in leading others.
We adopt the Discover – Develop – Shine approach in Student Leadership Development. This approach focuses on students discovering for themselves an understanding of self-leadership through class-level and cohort-level experiences. Through on-the-job experiences, workshops, seminars, camps, service-learning projects, cross-cultural learning, self-reflection and mentoring by teachers and seniors, students further develop their leadership knowledge, skills and values, and shine as they apply what they have learned as student leaders.
In their four years in Nanyang, all students would have gone through leadership-development experiences such as Values Education and Strengths Finder Assessment, Classroom Role Selections, CCE Lessons on Self-Discovery and Leadership and Sharing by Invited Speakers.
Opportunities to lead in classroom roles, CCAs and group projects such as ComEd-SPICE or Life Skills Programme (LSP) segments are made available to all students.
