Cultivating student leadership at TSPS is a critical part of our practice for both Primary and Secondary students.

We offer our students leadership opportunities to further develop character traits allowing them to perform better inside and outside of school, develop new friendships and have a broader outlook on the world – all aspects essential for a modern student.

Many of our enrichment and after-school activities focus on leadership. Clubs and societies, such as the TSPS Young Leaders, The Duke of Edinburgh International Award, the Environment Committee, and the TSPS Model United Nations aim to provide students with the opportunity to help shape themselves into potential leaders of tomorrow.

TSPS also have a number of formal student leadership positions within both the Primary and Secondary Schools, for which students go through a rigorous interview and selection process, including staff and student voting. These groups of students are then tasked with working together to bring about positive change within the school and the wider TSPS community.

Leadership positions at TSPS

Head Boy and Head Girl

This role is the most prestigious of our student leadership roles at TSPS and is open only to Year 12 and 13 students who following their application and interview, are then voted for by the Senior Leadership Team, Secondary teachers and Secondary students. Their main role is to chair the Student Representative Council and be the voice of the TSPS students, to drive student and school initiatives and work closely with the school’s staff leadership teams. Other duties include attending meetings with the TSPS Principal and providing a student leadership report outlining goals and initiatives for the year. Furthermore, they act as hosts during events such as National Day, International Day and parent information events.

House Captains

At TSPS we run a student rewards system that is related to our House system across the whole school. Every child is assigned a ‘House’ and can earn House Points for their teams. House Captains and Vice-Captains are elected at the beginning of each academic year. The Captains’ responsibilities include organising specific House events, motivating their teammates to participate in all House competitions as well as being a great role model for their House peers.

Student Representative Council

The TSPS Student Representative Council is made up of all elected members of the student leadership team: Heads and Deputy Heads, Prefects, House Captains and Vice Captains, Wellbeing and Environmental Ambassadors and UAE and Inclusion Champions.
