Student Leadership Structure

In WSPS, all our students have opportunities to develop their leadership capacity through a four-tier approach.

Prefectorial Board

Our Prefectorial Board is made up of Primary 3 to Primary 6 Prefects. After a series of selection processes, the Prefects are sworn in during the annual Student Leaders’ Investiture.

Besides attending trainings, workshops and learning journeys, our Prefects were also given opportunities to initiate programmes and/or projects to improve the well-being of their peers and/or community.

Prefects EXCO

The Prefects EXCO exhibit exemplary character and leadership qualities. They are role models who influence and inspire the student leadership body to serve the school and community.

They take up mentoring roles to mentor P3 to P6 Prefects and work together to serve the school and community.
