Leadership

The school aims to nurture all students to be role models and servant leaders with a clear sense of agency. When faced with challenges, they remain resilient and are confident in leading others.

In NYGH, we adopt the Discover – Develop – Shine approach in Student Leadership Development. The approach focuses on catering to the different needs and potential of the students. Students discover about themselves and gain an understanding of self-leadership through class-level and cohort-level experiences. There are also opportunities for students to develop their knowledge, skills and values and to shine, for example Classroom Roles, the Leader Apprenticeship Programme at lower secondary and student-initiated projects.

Student leaders are guided by the philosophy of Servant Leadership and the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership. They develop their leadership knowledge, skills, values and attitudes through on-the-job experiences, workshops, seminars, camps, service-learning projects, cross-cultural learning, self-reflection and mentoring by teachers and seniors.
