Leadership at Brillantmont
Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders and we provide numerous
opportunities for students to develop their leadership skills.
Every student belongs to one of five “houses” – Anker, Piccard,
Rousseau, Chaplin, Einstein. These meet weekly to discuss various
topics, to organise team-building and inter-house events, the
purpose of which is to create a sense of belonging and community.
Students are elected to the roles of Student Leaders and receive
training in leadership and management skills, to help them get the
most out of their roles and be effective and inspiring leaders.
Model United Nations is a simulation of the United Nations, in
which hundreds of young people from across the world debate and
exchange, defending their chosen country’s policies. It develops stu-
dents’ research, public speaking and presentation skills. Brillantmont
participates in MUN conferences in Singapore and The Hague.
In Habitat for Humanity, students help build a house in a country
in which access to housing is difficult, developing skills of team-
work and collaboration. In recent years they have joined projects in
Romania, Portugal, Botswana and Cambodia as well as undertaking
major fund-raising campaigns.
Sports teams provide opportunities for leadership, as the captains
motivate and encourage their team members.
The house system reinforces a
nurturing and family environment,
as well as developing mentor and
leadership skills among the older
students.
