Student Leadership
Discover how HGS nurtures every student's leadership potential through its Student Leadership Framework, built on strong values and real leadership opportunities.
Student Leadership
At HGS, we believe that every student has the potential to be a leader of character, demonstrating our school values and leadership attributes. To nurture this potential, the Student Leadership Framework has been established to guide students in their leadership journey.
Rooted in HGS’ vision of “Empowering every Haig Girl to Learn and Lead, in Service of Others,” the framework is represented by four concentric circles. The inner circles highlight our core values and leadership attributes, while the outer circles illustrate the platforms and approaches that provide students with opportunities to develop and refine their leadership skills.
The Student Leadership Framework is designed to develop leadership in every Haig Girl through four concentric circles:
Inner Circle: School Values (R3ICH)
This circle represents our core values: Responsibility, Resilience, Respect, Integrity, Compassion, and Humility (R3ICH), which are foundational to leadership development.
Second Circle: Leadership Attributes
This circle focuses on key leadership qualities:
Leads by Example
Takes Initiative
Serves with Humility
Influences Others Positively
Third Circle: Leadership Platforms
This circle represents authentic leadership roles such as CCA Leaders, Class Leaders, Ambassadors, and Prefects, giving students real opportunities to lead.
Outermost Circle: The 2E2R Approach
The outer circle illustrates the 2E2R approach:
Experience
Explicit Teaching
Reflection
Role-modelling
This approach helps develop leadership through teaching, practical experiences, reflection, and peer evaluation, with opportunities for students to lead events like the TKSS Junior Leadership Symposium and HGS Open House. We also provide affirmation through events such as the Student Leaders' Investiture and Prize-Giving Day, celebrating both achievements and the character of our students.
