DSA Leadership

In Orchid Park Secondary School, our mission is to nurture and develop every student to become an engaged leader so that they can lead and serve with compassion.

We believe that every student can be nurtured to be a leader to lead themselves and/or others and we desire our Orchidians to achieve the following outcomes:

  • An Orchidian with a 'can do' attitude who has initiative and volunteers

  • An Orchidian with a positive outlook who is able to rally others to work towards set goals

  • An Orchidian who is resourceful and perceptive

  • An Orchidian who fosters collaboration and values diverse views

  • An Orchidian who is compassionate towards their fellow men

DSA Leadership is not a CCA. All students enrolled through DSA leadership are expected to take up a CCA. They are expected to serve in the school’s student council throughout their secondary education with Orchid Park Secondary School

Criteria for Leadership

P6 students who meet the following criteria** may apply:

  1. Students who have experience in leadership:

    • Held leadership position(s) in their primary school e.g. Prefects, CCA Leaders/Captains, Class Monitors, etc.

  2. Others:

    • Conduct grade of at least ‘Very Good’ in his/her Primary 5 and Primary 6 school report

Applicants who do not have prior experience may also apply. The school will assess applicants based on the selection criteria, which may include assessing the potential of the applicants.

**Please note that meeting all the criteria does not guarantee the student will be shortlisted/given an offer. The school will assess applicants based on the selection criteria, which may include assessing the potential of the applicants. Due to different profiles of applicants, selection/shortlisting trends may differ year on year. Shortlisted applicants will be required to undergo performance tasks and interviews.
