Student Council

The most important determiner of a student’s success in life is who they become as a person. This is why a school must provide opportunities through many programmes for these students to develop the skills and qualities of the students. Leadership programmes are a part of a school, where students gain knowledge and instil good values and character. So they can flourish as adults. Student Council is one of many leadership programmes in our school.

Leadership and character development are essential for success in life, as they provide individuals with the skills and qualities necessary to navigate the challenges they will face when they become adults. They can become an agent of change and make a good impact on the community when they are well-equipped with skills of leadership. At RBIS, we encourage our students to grow their confidence and develop essential skills from an early age to high school. From learning to be a good and helpful friend to a new student to how to represent and propose good ideas for the school community by becoming a student council. This is only a first step.

The purpose of a school leadership programme is to provide students with the skills and experiences they need to become effective leaders. Leadership skills result from being cultivated and encouraged in the school years as they grow up. At RBIS, we strongly emphasise student life skills – increasing confidence, self-esteem, and motivation- all characteristics that create direct and lasting results at home, in school and in life.

Developing these skills # resilience, increased emotional control, problem-solving, resourcefulness, handling disagreements and conflicts, accepting
real responsibility and increased confidence are the beginning of all the great qualities of our RBIS students will have before graduating from our school.
