A Three-tiered Leadership Framework:

Tier 1: Self Leadership: Learn to Serve

Students begin by engaging in Values-in-Action (VIA) activities, developing a sense of responsibility and community service. VIA activities are learning experiences that support students’ development as socially responsible citizens who contribute meaningfully to the community, through the learning and application of values, knowledge and skills.

Tier 2: Peer Leadership: Serve to Lead

As students mature, they take on leadership roles as Class Committee members, Co - Curricular Activities (CCA) leaders, Peer Support Leaders and Student Councillors. They lead initiatives, support their peers and gain experience in organising school events while building their leadership and interpersonal skills.

Tier 3: School and Community Leadership: Lead to Inspire

At Upper Secondary, students assume greater leadership responsibilities as CCA Leaders, Senior Councillors and Senior Peer Support Leaders. They lead school-wide initiatives, plan community service projects and collaborate with others to inspire positive change in school and beyond.

Through this comprehensive leadership development, the DINAN Leadership Programme at AES develops well-rounded individuals who positively impact both their school and the broader community.
