Student leadership comes in many forms and is a unique feature of the learning process at BISP. We encourage students to develop a range of skills and qualities in a variety of ways, from taking greater responsibility for learning in the classroom to seeking ambassadorial roles within the school. Through leadership experience, students fine tune their interpersonal skills and build confidence and resilience when putting a personal vision into practice. Undeniably leadership experience in young people fosters personal growth and builds capacity and potential in both oneself and in others.
We wish Ruby, Saanvi and Amelia all the best as they take on their respective roles.
