Nelson Mandela beautifully once said, “The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow.”
To this day, his words ring true. Children are essentially the living messages that we send to the future. However, for children to be effective leaders of tomorrow, they need quality education. In today’s standards, quality education is no longer just passive lectures in classrooms. It is now a mix of varying styles of teaching, and one of them is experiential learning. And what better way to make them experience leadership in a safe and encouraging environment than a student council.
A student council is a group of student leaders chosen by the student body to work with an adult supervisor to create an impact in their school. At D-PREP International School, we understand the value of listening to the students, and last September 2022, the student council members were officially chosen through a school voting process.
With that, D-PREP proudly presents to you its first batch of student council members established in the school year 2022-2023.
