The Student Leaders alumni organisation is called LEAD (Leadership Education and Assessment Department), formed in November 2006 by Mr Chin K T. Its purpose is to provide a link and a platform for all student leaders to keep in touch and to contribute to the leadership training and development of the student leaders in the school.
Presidents of LEAD 2007 - 2011 1st EXCO Melvin Toh (P), Lien Hui Ying (VP), Lyiana (VP), Nazurah (Hon Sec)
In 2008, the school brought the student leaders from the Student Council, CCC and CCA groups together in its inaugural Combined Student Leaders Investiture on 14 July. The ceremony saw the student leaders come together to take the Student Leaders Pledge. The 2nd Combined Student Leaders Investiture took place on 17 August 2009.
In June 2009, the President Lecture Series (PLS) was started in the mid year training camp. The aim of the PLS is to bring back former student leaders to come back to share their leadership development experiences and motivate the student leaders to be "the best that they can be"
In June 2012, the PLS League was started on the FB Page Ref: https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/231000050334715/. The purpose of the PLS League is to connect all former student leaders through an online Facebook flatform so that we can continue to support the student leadership development of the school.

Famous quotes containing the words student, leadership and/or development:
“What is the student but a lover courting a fickle mistress who ever eludes his grasp?”
—Sir William Osler (1849–1919)
“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–?)
“This was the Eastham famous of late years for its camp- meetings, held in a grove near by, to which thousands flock from all parts of the Bay. We conjectured that the reason for the perhaps unusual, if not unhealthful development of the religious sentiment here, was the fact that a large portion of the population are women whose husbands and sons are either abroad on the sea, or else drowned, and there is nobody but they and the ministers left behind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
