St Margaret's School Elects Commendable Young Leaders
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Twelve Form 5 students of St Margaret's School in Seria were elected as student councillors for this academic year at an investiture ceremony held recently in recognition of their exemplary qualities which may be passed on to other students.

The investiture ceremony was officiated by the school's principal, Cikgu Hjh Kertini bte OKSPD Abang Hj Abu Hanifah.

She told the student councillors, otherwise known as prefects or student leaders in other schools, to execute their duties and responsibilities rightfully and without bias.

"You have been elected as student councillors because of your good discipline, academic achievements and leadership quality.

"Therefore, I hope you all can carry out your added responsibilities justly and fairly without prejudice.

"We believe that if you can execute your duties correctly at school level, it is not impossible that one day you will become leaders of communities after you complete your tertiary education," she said.

To differentiate councillors from other students, the elected leaders wear red jackets over their school uniforms.

The school principal urged other students to obey their leaders and to copy their exemplary characters, including their academic achievement.

However, she said the councillors are not immune to school rules and regulations.

"If other students see unprecedented behaviour from the student councillors, you can complain to other teachers or even to me so investigations can be initiated.

"No student is above the law in this school," she said.

She then pinned the badges to the elected councillors. They also read the oath promising to execute their new roles justly and fairly for the benefit of the school. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
