Tier 3 student leaders exemplifies the heartbeat of student leadership in YCKPS and are the main drivers of school-wide initiatives and programmes. The programme and experiences for Tier 3 student leaders are geared towards EMPOWERING them to develop initiative to find solutions and give back to the school community.

A moment of reflection by prefects

As we nurture self-directed student leaders, we aim for our students to develop the ability to reflect on one’s actions and be caring individuals. This undergirds the school’s student development efforts to develop students who will have the heart to initiate change and ultimately give back to the school community and beyond.
