It is important for students’ voices to be heard. Their views matter and our small class sizes and climate of trust and mutual respect will help them develop self-confidence and feel comfortable sharing their opinions.
Brillantmont is a small school; the size helps create a supportive, non-judgemental environment in which our students grow emotionally and intellectually and develop their critical thinking abilities. They may feel confident to put these skills to good use in leadership roles in the school.
Student House Leader
At Brillantmont every student belongs to one of five Houses, with others of different ages and nationalities. The Houses meet every week and the team-building activities provide the opportunity to make new friendships, have fun together and create a sense of belonging. Inter-house competitions (sports day, talent show, film-making) take place throughout the school year to earn house points which count towards the end of year House Shield.
The Houses are led by elected Student Leaders and assisted by Student Advisors, who are peer-elected. They preside over the weekly House meetings and lead and inspire others in their house. They participate in leadership training prior to taking office, in order to feel comfortable in their role.
Modelo Naciones Unidas
Twice a year, Brillantmont students participate in a Model United Nations Conference in Singapore and in The Hague. They represent a country and defend policies in debate and discussion with hundreds of other students from around the world. MUN helps students gain confidence in public speaking, in teamwork and research skills and gives a taste of diplomatic life.
Brillantmont proudly welcomes over 100 students from other schools to its student-organised MUN and provides several opportunities to participate in MUN at other local conferences. Any student who wishes to join can do so. We are in fact the only school from Europe which joins MUN Singapore, which is a remarkable opportunity and privilege.
