“Every girl can be a leader” is the premise of the St. Margaret’s Student Leadership Programme which nurtures the leadership potential in every student by grooming her personal and social responsibility through various workshops, camps and conferences. Students thus have the opportunity to serve as CCA leaders, House Captains or class leaders. They also participate in the National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA) Programme which is a platform for them to take on roles like Health and Environment ambassadors to lead, care and inspire their peers. 

Besides nurturing leaders, St. Margaret’s also believes in the importance of upholding a sound values system. The Life Skills programme and various experiential learning activities at St. Margaret’s raise students’ self-awareness as well as awareness of socio-emotional competencies and life skills needed for them to be effective members of the community, workforce and society.

The Student Leadership Programme uses the Kouzes-Posner’s Leadership Challenge model to encapsulate the leadership competencies that the school aims to nurture in its students. The model is based on the five Practices of Exemplary Leadership: Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and last but certainly not least, they Encourage the Heart. The school nurtures the leadership potential of every child by grooming their personal / social responsibility and strength of character through opportunities at leading with coaching / mentoring.
