Introduction

In Greendale Secondary School, Student Leadership is one of the key competencies which the school strives to develop in our students. Greendale’s Student Leadership development is based on the principles of Servant Leadership, where we aim to groom our students to be confident leaders who have the heart to serve. This is in line with our school’s motto: Serve, Lead, Excel. Students accepted under DSA-Leadership will undergo a comprehensive programme to develop and hone their leadership qualities so that they will go on to be good leaders beyond their secondary school years.

Students accepted under DSA-Leadership will be developed through a comprehensive and rigorous leadership development programme so that they will have the ability and confidence to take up leadership roles at various platforms in Greendale Secondary School. These students will be closely guided and mentored so that they will be able to achieve a well-rounded education here at Greendale Secondary School.
