CLOVE (Cultivating Leaders Of ValuEs)

CLOVE is a school-based Leadership Education programme which aims to achieve the school’s belief that every student has the potential to be a leader.

Each year, students go through the CLOVE framework which adopts the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® model developed by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner. The model focuses on enacting the 5 Practices and 10 Commitments of exemplary leader.

Development Framework

The school aims to develop every student to be a leader, guided by the school’s values. We believe that every student must first learn to lead self before leading others.

The school has put in place a student leadership framework which aims to develop leadership competencies in our students through a 3-level programme:
