Student Leadership
Our Belief: Every Fuchunian A Leader
The school believes that every student has the potential to be a leader as his or her thoughts, words, and actions can have a positive influence on self and others.
FCPS Student Leadership Framework
The school has developed a four-tiered student leadership framework which aims to develop our students into leaders with the competencies to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
Our approach to leadership development is guided by the following key principles:
Every Fuchunian can be a leader
Leadership opportunities and training should be intentional and progressive
Tier 1 – Personal Leadership
Students go through Character & Values Education, FTGP lessons and specially curated activities during Homeroom #FreshMondays to build and develop their Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and 21st Century Competencies (21 CC). Personal Leadership forms the foundation of the FCPS Student Leadership Framework which supports the students in undertaking greater responsibilities in the other tiers.
Tier 2 - Class Leadership (Class Committee)
The students take on roles in the Class Committee to assist the teachers in the daily class routines. These class leaders are engaged in role-specific trainings to equip them with the skills and knowledge to manage their duties in class. Class Committee roles are rotated every semester to provide more leadership opportunities for Fuchunians to serve.
The Class Committee also acts as a platform to identify students with strong leadership potential to take on the roles in the next tier.
Tier 3 – School Level Leadership (Prefects & CCA Leaders)
Students who demonstrate strong leadership qualities are nominated for the role of Prefects and CCA Leaders by the teachers in this tier.
The school has adopted the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership Model to develop the leadership skills of our Student Leaders. The Student Leaders at this tier go through ‘The Leadership Challenge’ to develop and equip themselves with the desired skills to further support them in their leadership duties and build on their leadership potential.
The Student Leaders are given opportunities to apply and demonstrate their learning by being involved in Service Learning, Teachers’ Day Celebration and VIA activities.
Tier 4 – School Level Mentorship (Prefect Mentors, Head and Vice-Head Prefects, Prefects Managers and CCA Chairperson & CCA EXCO)
The key Student Leaders in this tier undergo school-based mentorship programmes to equip them with the skills to guide and mentor the tier 3 Student Leaders in their duties.
They are given opportunities to be involved in planning and organizing school events and community outreach programmes. They will also act as facilitators to lead and engage tier 3 Student Leaders in the activities.
Other than the provision of training workshops and opportunities to apply their learning, the FCPS Student Leadership Programme also aims to promote student agency and voice among the student leaders so that they can exert greater positive influence among their peers and the rest of the student cohorts.
Student Leaders Investiture 2024
The Student Leaders’ Investiture was held to recognise and affirm the efforts of our student leaders, and formally introduced them to the school community. Our newly appointed Head Prefect and CCA Chairperson gave their inspiring speeches and led the students in reciting the Student Leaders’ Pledge.
The Leadership Challenge 2024
In line with MOE’s strategic thrust on values-driven, holistic student development and our mission to develop a community of future-ready learners, the school has adopted the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership by James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner to develop the leadership skills of our student leaders. Through the provision of training workshops and opportunities for the student leaders to apply their learning, the FCP Student Leadership Programme aims to promote student agency and voice among the student leaders so that they can exert greater positive influence among their peers and the rest of the student cohorts.
Student Leaders' Meetings 2024
To promote student agency and voice among the student leaders, Student Leaders' meetings & inductions are conducted by the Student Leaders EXCO team. During the sessions, student leaders are briefed on the expectations of a Fuchun Student Leader, their assigned duties & are given feedback on their progress as a student leader. They also bonded with one another, discussed and planned projects and tasks assigned.
2024 Prefect EXCO Leadership Journey Sharing with Parents
As part of our efforts to partner with parents in affirming & recognizing their child’s efforts in their student leadership journey, FCPS hosted a session where our Prefect EXCO share with their parents their experiences and reflections as a Student Leader in FCPS. They shared confidently and we are so proud of the steps they have taken on their journey in FCPS!
Teachers' Day Celebration 2024
2024 Teachers' Day Celebration was executed by our Fuchun Student Leaders under the guidance of the teachers in the Student Management & Leadership Dept. Prefects, CCA Leaders as well as P4 to P6 Class Monitors were involved in various ways such as preparing gifts, hosting the hall programme, conducting classroom activity, facilitating the class games & challenge etc. Kudos to student leaders for making the event celebration a successful and an enjoyable one!
“I enjoyed the Teacher’s Day Celebration a lot as firstly, I enjoyed interacting with Fuchunians when I was the emcee. I am also grateful as I had the chance to conduct the Teacher’s Day Celebration as a host and being able to execute it smoothly, allowing everyone to relax and have fun. --- Harshan (Primary 6)
“I’m grateful that I could be the one to start off the whole celebration as one of the emcees and even got to sing a song for the teachers with some of my friends! I really enjoyed seeing the teachers smile when we were singing and am really grateful to have the opportunity to participate in conducting this event”---Golda (Primary 6)
“I really enjoyed the Teachers’ Day Celebration. This might be the last Teachers’ Day Celebration in Fuchun Primary School. My favourite Part during the celebration is getting to interact with the Lower Primary students and getting to know them better. I am really grateful to have an opportunity to being able to conduct the classroom activities for them.”---Khalid (Primary 6)
Kindergarten Schools' Visit to FCP 2024
Our P4 & P5 Student Leaders were given an opportunity and the task to introduce our school to students from the various kindergartens.
To give the students a better experience of how it will be like to be learning in FCP, the student leaders also brought the students on a trail around the school to show them the various areas & school facilities as well as to observe some lessons in the classrooms.
Student Leaders Values-In-Action (VIA)
In line with MOE's aim to nurture socially responsible citizens who contribute meaningfully to the community, our school provided a platform for our student leaders to reach out to our community.
Our P4 student leaders created some simple game set-ups and hosted a mini game carnival at Orange Valley Home for the elderly. Our student leaders gained valuable experience of interacting and communicating with the elderly.
P3 Trainee Prefect Induction & Training
P3 Trainee Prefects are nominated in the second half of the year and the induction briefing is conducted for them by the Prefect EXCO.
During the session, the Prefect Managers engage them in various role-plays to simulate the possible scenarios which they may encounter as they perform duties as a Trainee Prefect. Through these as well as the guidance of the senior Prefect Managers, they understand better how to manage the situation and are better prepared for their roles & duties.
Student Leaders' Overseas Learning Trip to Brunei
A group of P5 student leaders went on an overseas learning journey to Brunei. During this immersive experience, they played traditional games, overcome group challenges & bonded very well with their Brunei buddies. They also participated in a variety of lessons that deepened their understanding of local culture and traditions. The students also explored the rich heritage of Brunei by visiting a royal museum, a local mosque, and a sustainability farm, gaining valuable insights into the nation’s history and commitment to environmental stewardship. This journey was not just about learning; it was about building lasting friendships and exchanging ideas.
“The learning trip to Brunei was an enjoyable experience as I could make new friends and learn new things overseas, such as collaboration and communication, that can help us as student leaders.” -----Hailey (Primary 5)
“This learning trip to Brunei allows us to know more about the Brunei culture and history. Although we face challenges in communicating with our Brunei buddies at first, we managed to overcome it and foster new friendships with one another. We got emotional at the end of the trip when we had to say goodbye to our buddies.” -----Tania & Shijun (Primary 5)
“The learning trip to Brunei was an amazing opportunity for me to learn about Brunei's tradition and culture. I've learnt so many things about Brunei and I would go back if I could.” --- Aliza (Primary 5)
