Student Leadership Board
The SLB has been re-organised in end 2008 and it consists of 8 departments: Aesthetics, Health and Fitness, MediaTech, Partners, Publicity, Resource Management, Student Management and Student Wellness. The departments within the SLB are headed by an Executive Committee (EXCO), which consists of the President, Vice Presidents (Leadership or Service Wing), Secretary cum treasurer and Department heads.
Students are nominated by their teachers, and undergo a rigorous selection camp sometime in April or May of every year. Successful candidates are then invited to join the board in one of the 8 departments.
In addition to possessing leadership qualities, student leaders should possess good character and academic results.

Famous quotes containing the words student, leadership and/or board:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“During the first World War women in the United States had a chance to try their capacities in wider fields of executive leadership in industry. Must we always wait for war to give us opportunity? And must the pendulum always swing back in the busy world of work and workers during times of peace?”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“And they heaved a mighty breath, every soul on board but me,
As they saw her nose again pointing handsome out to sea;
But all that I could think of, in the darkness and the cold,
Was just that I was leaving home and my folks were growing old.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
