Message from the
Secondary Head Boy

A warm welcome the parents, staff and students of the GOS community. My name is Brian, from the green house, and it is my honor to serve as the Head Boy this year. I have been a student at GOS for 9 years, starting from year one, and I hope my experiences at this school will help me in contributing to the GOS community.

Our school motto, “Educate, Nurture and Inspire Excellence”, is something that I truly believe as a GOS student. To me, this phrase encompasses what our school does: it prepares the students for the future society, mentally, physically and academically. Throughout my years at GOS, I have truly experienced the meaning of these words, which gives me the pride to be part of GOS.

As the new school year unfolds, I hope that both new and returning students will try their hardest and make this year their best in GOS. I truly look forward to working with all staff, parents and fellow students in making 2026 an exciting and memorable year. Let us all enjoy this year ahead and continue to make a GOS a place where everyone can learn, grow, and succeed.

My name is Emily, The Secondary Head Girl of Green Oasis School 2026-2027. Unlike what people usually expect, I am not the “model student” that most people would expect the Head Girl to be. In fact, I struggled in most classes, disagreed with the content ideas, and didn’t focus in class when I was in Primary School.

You would expect most schools to give the title “Troublemaker” or “Not the right material”, but I was given none of that in GOS. I remember it quite vividly; the time my Chinese teacher gave me the invitation to the debate team when I told her I disagreed with the textbook. When my English teacher told me to start easy by handing me a comic book, when I told my PSHE teacher that I thought their idea was wrong. So now I’m here with a love of reading, liking most of my subjects, having a mind of my own and having the courage to say, “I disagree.”

That is what I think sets my school apart from the others. It doesn’t give rankings to student, to give us the freedom of choice when asking questions, teaching us how to become not a better student but also a better person.

Primary Head Boy

My name is Aiden, the primary head boy of 2026/2027. I have been at GOS for six years. When I first arrived at this school, I was very shy, so shy that if hiding was a subject, I would get an A+! In year 1, my best friend was the wall, and I hardly had any friends, but my classmates and teachers were really warm to me. They never laughed at me, and they waited for me, included me, and slowly pulled me into their circle. After year one, I studied harder, did sports, and learned to be responsible. Now I can even talk in front of my classmates, (even though I can be quiet in unfamiliar places).

I won’t forget the support from teachers and friends who have helped me to step out of my comfort zone, join fun events, get elected for the student council, and eventually run for head boy. GOS has helped me grow from a shy little boy to a more responsible, respectful, kind, safe, and positive person.

Words to give to new students: be brave, try new things. In this school, you will meet friends, discover your talent, and feel truly welcomed to our school.

Hello everyone! My name is Eliana, and I am honored to serve as the Primary Head Girl of Green Oasis School for 2026-2027.

I applied for this role because I want to create a supportive learning environment and help students who are shy or nervous become more confident. Among the GOS values, Positive is the most important to me. Being positive means having confidence in yourself, and it gave me the courage to apply for this leadership role.

To me, being a leader isn't just about having a title; it is about serving others and being a role model. I believe an effective student leader should be approachable, responsible, and a good listener. My main goal this year is to make sure every student feels heard and included. I plan to represent you by actively listening to your ideas and sharing them with our teachers.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy playing tennis and reading. I also love our school activities, like the camouflage butterflies and Roman shields we made in class.

Being Head Girl is a great honor, and I truly appreciate this opportunity. I promise to do my best to help our school in every way I can. Let's work together to make this school year amazing!

Primary Head Boy

I am Bert, the Primary Head Boy of GOS 2056-2026. I have been a GOS student for six years. When I first arrived, I was quiet, shy, and unsure of myself. Over time, this school has given me so much more than just knowledge in the classroom. It has taught me to be confident, to work with others, and to step outside my comfort zone.

I will always remember the support from teachers and friends who encouraged me to try new things, take part in activities, and eventually run for Head Boy. GOS has helped me grow into a more responsible, thoughtful, and brave person.

To any new student joining our school: be brave, be kind, and make the most of every moment. You will find friends, discover your strengths, and feel truly at home here. I am proud to be part of this community, and I will carry these lessons with me always.

Primary Head Girl

My name is Jiajia, The Primary Head Girl of Green Oasis School 2025-2026. Throughout my six years at this school, I’ve learned more than just facts, but the basic skills I will use in my life. We emphasize five values over all else, respect, responsibility, positivity, kindness, and most importantly, safety. Since year one, these skills have been shaping me and every one of my classmates. Even now, I can remember my year one teacher telling us how these aren’t just our core values, they should be the rules we look at every day, asking ourselves am I following these rules? Doing what I’m supposed to do?

Green Oasis School is also a place for happiness. We have humorous teachers that teaches us everything the fun way. We have activities and games that forces us to be ourselves. My favourite activity of the year is book week. We get to dress up, enter writing competitions, we even have authors visiting the school. Book week is just one of many! We have maths week, sports day, the newly added topic week, and so much more!

I could never have wished for a better gift than coming to this school. I would never forget anything that happened in the halls of laughter.

Student Leadership at GOS

At Green Oasis School, we believe that when students are given opportunities to make choices and express their voices, they are able to flourish and fully explore their potential for learning. Encouraging student voice empowers learners to develop confidence, responsibility, and initiative - qualities that extend well beyond the classroom and into their future lives.

Primary

At the Primary level, students are introduced to leadership through a range of opportunities that build responsibility, teamwork, and confidence. From Year 3, students can try out for school sports teams, where they develop teamwork while also supporting and encouraging their teammates.

Our Primary Student Council includes one elected representative from each class from Year 1 to Year 6. These students gather ideas and feedback from their classmates and bring them to council meetings, ensuring student voice is represented in school life.

Furthermore, each of our four houses - Flash Cheetah, Flow Orca, Grow Komodo, and Spark Lion - also has a House Captain, who works with staff Heads of House to help organise house activities and events. At the top of the student leadership structure are the Head Boy and Head Girl, who serve as role models and represent the Primary student body.

Finally, Year 6 students may apply to become Prefects, helping staff support younger students and monitor playtimes. Through these roles, students actively contribute to the daily life of the school and develop leadership skills that extend beyond the school community.

Secondary

At the Secondary level, student leadership becomes increasingly focused on independence, responsibility and meaningful student voice. Students are encouraged not only to represent their peers, but also to take an active role in shaping the culture and community of the school.

Each form elects a Class Representative, giving students a clear channel through which they can share ideas, raise concerns and contribute feedback about school life. Representatives act as a link between their classmates and the wider school community, helping students understand that leadership is about listening to others as much as speaking on their behalf.

Our four houses: Flash Cheetah, Flow Orca, Grow Komodo and Spark Lion provide further opportunities for leadership. House Captains work alongside the Heads of House to encourage participation, promote house spirit and support the organisation of House Events and competitions. Through these experiences, students develop confidence and organisational skills while helping to strengthen connections across year groups.

At the forefront of Secondary student leadership are our Head Boy, Head Girl, Deputy Head Boy and Deputy Head Girl. Together, they act as ambassadors and role models for the Secondary school, representing the student body and supporting important events, assemblies and school initiatives. They work collaboratively to promote student voice, contribute ideas and help strengthen communication between students and staff. As senior student leaders, they are expected to demonstrate the values and behaviours we want to see throughout the GOS community.

Leadership at GOS also extends beyond formal positions. Students are encouraged to propose and help lead student-led ECAs, contribute to assemblies, House Events and Typhoon Time, and take an active role in activities that enrich the wider school community. These opportunities allow students to turn their interests and ideas into something that can benefit others.

Through student leadership, we aim to develop young people who are confident enough to contribute, responsible enough to lead, and thoughtful enough to listen. By giving students genuine opportunities to participate in school life, we help them develop the communication, initiative and sense of community that will serve them well beyond GOS.
