Student Leadership
It is important for a child’s holistic development to experience leadership opportunities during their formative years in school.
Leadership qualities are priceless in this day and age. Those that display the traits required to excel at the highest level are often tipped to have successful careers. Therefore, it’s imperative that our students master skills that are essential to become good leaders – building relationships, effective communication and teamwork.
We provide our students with avenues to develop and showcase their leadership qualities, and positively impact the wider school community in the following areas:
- Head Boy and Head Girl
- Head of Student Council (and Student Council members)
- Prefects
- Eco Warriors
- House Captains
Eco Committee
The Eco Committee is a student led environmental group within school consisting of students, parents, and teachers. The purpose of the Eco Committee is to raise awareness and promote initiatives within school to make the campus and local community more environmentally friendly. With the support of our parents and local stakeholders, the Eco Committee is working towards the prestigious Green Flag Award from World Wildlife Foundation Malaysia. Some of our initiatives thus far include supporting the Eco Garden, reducing waste in school and supporting healthy eating initiatives amongst students and teachers at school.
School Prefect
The school Prefect Team is composed of students that demonstrate our school Vision and work diligently to ensure that the Vision is carried out by all students on campus. From ensuring school rules are followed to supporting teachers and fellow students, the school Prefect Team is a wonderful opportunity for learners to further develop their leadership skills and confidence. With these soft skills, students are more adapted to the wider world and better able to meet the challenges of the world outside of school.
Student Council
At Tenby International Setia EcoHill, our Student Council is a leadership team of elected students that collaborate with teachers to plan activities that are both enjoyable and educational.
There are total of 18 students in our committee that consists of the President, Vice Presidents, Secretaries and Class Representatives. It facilitates the exchange of ideas, interests, and concerns between teachers and students. Our members assist in the fundraising for school-wide activities such as social gatherings, raising awareness about issues, and purpose-driven activities like celebrating cultures. All of this is accomplished by encouraging each member of the team to acquire a feeling of responsibility, creativity and earned self-respect.
EdTech Team SPIRIT
At Tenby Setia EcoHill, we acknowledge the importance of integrating technology and 21st Century Learning Skills into our student-centred learning approaches and equip our students for success today and tomorrow.
Student-led Education Technology (EdTech) Team or better known as the Team SPIRIT is a learning team focuses on the discovery and application of educational technology, featuring Microsoft 365, Minecraft Education, Videography and Photography.

Team SPIRIT plays the key role in steering the digital amplification and integration, sharing the best practices both locally and globally.
Assembly Team
School assembly builds culture of communication, it nurtures a positive school culture which binds everyone together. Communication and Respect are two of our learner’s attributes which we highly embrace at Tenby Setia EcoHill. Both of our academic and cultural assemblies are being taken care by our very own Student Assembly Team, overseen by the Head of Secondary – Mr. Jeffrey and Assistant Head of Secondary – Mr. Ng.
The Assembly Team comprises groups of student specialising in the weekly PowerPoint Design, Hosting, Technical and Coordination. Their main responsibility is to plan, communicate, coordinate and run the weekly assemblies and cultural assemblies, fulfilling the purpose of conventional school gathering and conversing school happenings. Throughout these good struggles, these student leaders experience the Amazing Learning outside of classroom, and this allows them to step up as leaders for tomorrow.
Student learning Leaders Programme [SLLP]
The Student Learning Leaders Programme [SLLP] is designed whereby students with exceptional talent in a particular subject undertake a project for that unit of study. Participants receive guidance from a subject specialist teacher who then assesses the project at two grade levels above the current year group of the participant. The programme has produced many fasinating projects from students who share their work with the wider school community, parents and guardians.
Duke of Edinburgh
The Duke of Edinburgh Programme was first piloted in 1956 to develop student confidence and leadership skills in tandem with a love for the outdoors. Now the programme has expanded across the globe and has become extremely popular with parents and students alike. As a student, you can choose the things you love to do or try something completely new; help your community, test your limits, enhance your skills, and grow your confidence. It’s your DOE , so do it your way. A Duke of Edinburgh Award is not just a prestigious Award desired by students and recognised by universities. It is recognition of the huge effort students put into completing it, the people helped, and the skills learned along the way.
