DSA Community and Youth Leadership
DIRECT SCHOOL ADMISSION (DSA) EXERCISE 2020
FOR LEARNING FOR LIFE PROGRAMME IN COMMUNITY & YOUTH
LEADERSHIP
The school leverages on
its Learning for Life Programme (LLP) to support its vision to develop students
to be ‘Promise-Keepers, Hope-Builders and Servant-Leaders’.
All students will undergo
customised LLP modules which are based on the Servant-Leadership model by
Robert Greenleaf. In tandem with the school’s Character First Programme, PHS
seeks to harness the potential in every student to be the best that he/she can
be. For Community & Youth Leadership (CYL), the focus is on providing
students with opportunities to be leaders of empathy as they lead in serving
the community with a purpose.
These programmes collectively
develop the mental, physical and emotional wellness to give our students a firm
foundation from which they can optimise their performance in their academic
pursuit, CCAs and other school activities.
