From planning and running school-wide events to assisting the school in its day-to-day activities, the Student Leadership Committee takes great pride and responsibility in doing all these well. Formed when the school was still in its infant years, the committee and its members have increasingly taken on greater roles and tasks.

The first few years saw prefects fulfilling duties in supervising students’ movement and discipline. Classroom orderliness and good student behaviour were expected of all the students in the school and the student leaders were there to help ensure that these were adhered to. Student Leaders were also often deployed to assist the school as ushers for guests.

Over the years, the roles and responsibilities of the student leaders have expanded, in line with the school’s move to develop and stretch student leaders.

Each year, an Executive Committee is formed from the top student leaders in Secondary 3 are involved in organising and executing events. Student leaders plan, organise, delegate and assume the various roles and responsibilities associated with an event. School-based events such as Secondary One Orientation, Teachers’ Day and Graduation Day are just a couple of the events that greatly involve the student leaders.

In addition, student leaders are given formal leadership developmental training from external agencies such as Halogen, Achievers and Acorn Training to hone their leadership potential and ability, on top of the constant guidance received from their seniors and teachers.

To date, the student leadership committee is 80-strong and comes from very diverse backgrounds and interests. It is in this various mix that the school hopes to develop future leaders for the community.

Key events and initiatives

Voices of EVG

Our student leaders use this platform to hear different voices of EVGians and engage them on how we can further improve our school as a community.

Our school's yearly commitment to Woodlands RC involves contributing numerous hampers to less privileged families in Woodlands during the Chinese New Year. This initiative allows our student leaders to engage in meaningful service, providing support to the community while fostering a sense of empathy and responsibility. Through this act of giving, they gain valuable insights into the needs of others and the importance of coming together to uplift those in need during festive times.

Service Learning Projects

Our student leaders exemplify servant leadership by consistently placing others before themselves. Through their involvement in numerous Service Learning projects with Pertapis, Meals on Wheels, SBS Transit and the Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped, they have gained invaluable insights into the importance of serving others. These experiences have broadened their perspectives, fostering a deep understanding of empathy, selflessness, and the significance of community service. By embracing these values, they continue to develop into compassionate leaders dedicated to making a positive impact on society.
