Last updated 4 August 2026

Overview

The Student Leadership Programme in North View Primary School aims to nurture every student to be a Caring Leader. All students will be given the opportunities to be developed as leaders and be equipped with the basic leadership skills to lead oneself first before leading others.

Approach

The School’s Student Leadership Development approach is "Lead Self and Lead Others". All students will undergo a whole-school leadership programme. This programme leverages on Form Teacher Guidance Period (FTGP) to educate and nurture our students to develop the following Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies:

Level 4: Teachers, students and school leaders play a part in deciding the Executive Committee (EXCO) Prefects. EXCO Prefects are students who have exhibited exemplary character and leadership qualities among the prefects. They represent the voice of the student population and are involved in planning meaningful project and event.
