House Captain (Service)
Applying for this leadership role has been one of my most significant step forward in learning how to be a role model for others. Despite being relatively new to the school when compared to my peers, I was really delighted to know that I was chosen to be the House Captain of Ibis.
Some of the responsibilities that come with holding this role are such as organising duty roles (as we are a boarding house), ensuring that everyone in the house is physically and mentally well. There was a time when one of the boarding kids wasn’t feeling the best, and I stepped in to talk to him and gave him advice. I felt great knowing that I helped someone go through a rough patch and we grew a closer bond after that.
In addition to that, I have also organised multiple events in partnership with our sister house, Blackeye. We managed to set up a stall selling baked goods during our school’s International Day 2018 and needless to say, they all sold out pretty quickly. It took less than half an hour, and everything went out. The profits out of the baked goods were then split to a few student-led charity groups in our school.
