Every AMKsian a Leader - with a Mindset for Excellence and a Spirit of Service.

At Ang Mo Kio Secondary School, we believe every student can be a leader. Our Student Leadership Development Framework nurtures this belief through structured experiences that grow with each student across their four to five years with us.

How We Develop Leaders

We use the ARC approach - Assignments, Relationships, and Courses - to develop leadership in a holistic way. Students learn by doing through real responsibilities and events. They grow through mentoring, peer support, and a school culture of care. And they build knowledge through courses covering everything from goal-setting to stakeholder engagement.

What We Develop

Leadership is built progressively across three dimensions. Self Leadership begins in Secondary 1, where students learn to know and manage themselves. Team Leadership builds from Secondary 2, developing the ability to collaborate, resolve conflicts, and contribute to the community. Thought Leadership deepens from Secondary 3, where students think critically, advocate for causes they care about, and mentor their juniors. By Secondary 4/5, students bring all three together in authentic leadership roles.

Pathways for Every Student

The Student Council is the voice of the student body. Elected councillors grow into role models through workshops, training camps, and key school events such as the Secondary 1 Orientation Camp and Student Leaders' Investiture.

CCA Leaders develop practical leadership skills within their specific areas through programmes such as the Leadership Through Sports programme by SportSG.

The Class Committee gives every student a platform to lead within their own class, empowering them to organise and guide their peers in school activities.

Beyond these formal roles, all students take part in cohort experiences - including level camps, the National Youth Achievement Award, and Values-in-Action projects. These ensure that every AMKsian grows as a leader, whatever role they hold.
