Student Government

SG2.JPG
Our Student Government aims to develop our student leaders holistically, in alignment with the SAV vision of being a “Home of Servant Leaders who bring life to the nations”. The Student Government programme strives to grow our students into resilient and responsible student leaders with a heart for service and the community.

Student leaders are trained and developed through the L3 approach that empowers them to take ownership and positively influence school culture. By exemplifying this L3 approach, our student leaders will lead the school by implementing positive changes and cultivating an attitude of authentic and proactive servant leadership to the school and community. 
The student leadership philosophies are:
  • Every boy is a leader who takes responsibility for his own actions 
  • Every boy has an opportunity to develop and demonstrate his leadership skills
  • Every boy has the opportunity to develop as a community builder

A student leader in SASS always
  • Acts in roles of responsibility with integrity and honesty
  • Takes on responsibilities and use decision making skills in order to carry a project through to a successful conclusion.
  • Works with others to achieve collective goals
  • Is a active, reflective listener who responds effectively.
  • Earns the respect of others through their actions

Student Leadership

The Prefectorial System has a twofold objective. Primarily, the aim is service to the school, through servant leadership. This also gives the students the opportunity to enhance and practise their leadership skills.

The tone of the school depends on the bearing of the Prefects. The highest standard of service and conduct is, therefore, expected of them. In the discharge of their duties as prefects, discretion, sympathy, tact and patience is required; also, there shall be a strong sense of self-discipline and fair-play. Prefects constantly bear in mind that the proper exercise of authority is only possible when it is governed by these qualities, and they constantly maintain a critical attitude towards themselves, and a more tolerant one towards others.  Self-discipline is continually emphasised  amongst them.

A student leader in SASS always
  • Act in roles of responsibility with integrity and honesty
  • Take on responsibilities and use decision making skills in order to carry a project through to a successful conclusion.
  • Work with others to achieve collective goals
  • Be active, reflective listeners who respond effectively.
  • Earn the respect of others through their actions
