Senior School

Leadership Workshop

March 2016 saw an overwhelming number of 50 students participate in “Ignite Your Initiative” a student leadership workshop conducted by enthusiastic and inspirational student leader, Aliredha Damji.

This workshop was aimed at discovering personal leadership skills - unique to an individual. Through the course of the 2- hour- workshop held after school, the students were placed in groups of 5 sorted at random. In their groups, they brainstormed, mind-mapped and took part in activities that were aimed to motivate and help them better understand the concept of leadership and themselves

Whether it was public speaking, teamwork or organisation - the students were receptive and applied many of their innate and learnt skills. Especially during the final activity which was all about planning for an event. Innovative ideas flung from one end of the multipurpose hall to the other as sounds of discussion and creativity muffled the background music.

The workshop concluded with feedback from the participants all of whom expressed satisfaction and contentment. They left school that day as better leaders heading onwards and upwards.
