Leadership

Life Coach in Adam Khoo's Programme: 2022 - Present

As an assistant coach, I learned to be more aware—not just of my surroundings, but also of the needs and well-being of the kids I was helping to guide. This role required me to be responsible, alert, and attentive at all times, as even small actions could have a big impact on the group. That sense of awareness has stayed with me beyond coaching and now shapes how I approach my daily life as a student. I find myself more mindful in class, more considerate of others, and more proactive in taking responsibility—whether it’s during group work, staying organized, or supporting my peers when they need help.

Recipient of the wellness award: 2024

Winning the Wellness Award was a humbling experience that, to me, reflects the values I try to live by—being kind, supportive, and attentive to the needs of those around me. I’ve always believed that looking out for others, whether it’s offering a listening ear or helping a peer through a tough time, is an important part of building a positive community. While I don’t see myself as a perfect leader, I try to lead through quiet actions and consistency, showing care rather than giving commands. This award, in many ways, exemplifies these qualities and encourages me to keep growing as someone who leads with empathy and respect.

Class Leader for 3 Courage: 2024

As the Class Leader, I was responsible for leading and coordinating my entire class in various school-wide and internal events. This included planning our class’s involvement in “CCHMS Goes Out”, where I helped organize a full-scale class outing—from brainstorming venues to managing logistics and ensuring full participation. I also took the lead in planning celebrations like Teachers’ Day, where we worked under tight deadlines to create meaningful experiences for our teachers. Beyond simply assigning tasks, I had to unite a diverse group of classmates, delegate responsibilities, and ensure that everyone worked collaboratively toward shared goals. Through this role, I developed strong leadership skills such as effective communication, strategic planning, and time management. I also learned how to motivate peers and manage group dynamics, which has prepared me to lead larger teams in more complex settings.

Student buddy to German students: 

I was a student buddy to a group of german student visiting my school from dortmund and i bought them to many of the places around singapore. As we had a slight languag barrier, I learnt creative ways to learn some german from them while teaching them chinese. This thus helped me to learn and use crucial community skills for my various interactions with my student buddies. From this experience, i am certain that my leadership abilities flourished as this experience taught me not only to lead my group but to bond with my buddies.
