FAQs

FAQs

​

1. Can I hold multiple leadership positions?

Juggling multiple leadership positions is a very heavy commitment. However, if you are able and willing to make that investment, and your parents are supportive of the idea, you may hold a CCA chairperson/captain position together with a JSL position (ACE, DC, House, SC, PSB)

​

However, please make this intention known to us during the selection process.

​

FAQs

​

2. How are the JSL positions formally recognised by the school?

The school provides many formal opportunities and resources (such as school events and camps) for JSLs to develop themselves. Apart from these, the school also recognises the achievements of JSLs through the LEAPS framework. Do refer to the Leadership strand in the LEAPS 2.0 document HERE.
