Everyone gets a chance to lead

Leadership at Dulwich College (Singapore) is inclusive and designed so that every child has a chance to grow. More than 250 Junior School students take up leadership roles each year–that’s more than a quarter of the student body involved in some capacity! From language and reading to sustainability and community service, the roles cover a variety of interests, encouraging every child to explore their strengths and try something new with the support of teachers and peers.

Becoming a student representative at this school is a thrilling experience that nurtures confidence. During Leadership Day, every student participates in a range of activities to learn about various student groups. They reflect on their interests and are encouraged to apply for roles that match their passions. Students are trusted with real responsibilities, such as working with local organisations to turn waste cotton into products they can sell or raising awareness and funds for causes that matter to them.

The Annual Leadership Fair celebrates & inspires student role models

The school also runs a popular annual Leadership Fair, a vibrant event that celebrates the students’ voices and shows how peer mentorship takes many forms. In addition to ambassador roles, every class also elects a representative to the Year Group Student Council, giving students a say in how the school is run and reinforcing the value of democratic participation and peer respect.

The outcomes of the programme are both creative and impactful. For example, one Head Student recently took her campaign on kindness to a new level—writing a song, choreographing a dance, and staging a full performance with lighting and production. Her song is now available on Spotify, showing that even at the age of 10, students can carve out their own path with creativity and vision.

Nurturing confidence and a strong sense of responsibility

By the time students enter Senior School, they are already seasoned mentors. They are comfortable presenting in front of large groups, managing initiatives and guiding their peers. Even students who don’t take on formal roles have had chances to take initiative through classroom projects, school events, and assemblies. Leadership at Dulwich College (Singapore) is built into everyday school life, helping children develop confidence, empathy, and a strong sense of responsibility.
