Shaping Leaders: Student government leads leadership seminar

| Jayden Michael Tuñacao

To unleash the leadership potential of student leaders, JCSGO Christian Academy (JCA) held its Student Leader Conference on November 4 at the JCSGO Seed Dome.

School Principal Ms. Cynthia Genon inspired the student leaders with her opening remarks. According to her, a cow is greater than a pig because it serves people both while alive and after death by providing milk and meat, unlike a pig.

Using this analogy, she encouraged the student leaders to be like a cow.

“Be like a cow. You serve while you’re living, and your legacy will live on,” shared Ms. Genon.

A teamwork activity called the Hula Hoop Relay was then facilitated by the student government to challenge the learners’ critical thinking, teamwork, and strategic planning skills.

The student leaders were also given the opportunity to share their solutions to pressing issues on campus, including electricity conservation and vaping among students.

Student Activities Head Ms. Kristine Cruzado concluded the gathering by sharing her key takeaways.

“Don’t be a double-standard type of leader,” she said, emphasizing the importance of fairness and impartiality in leadership.

Samantha Avery Mendoza, Class President of 10 Victorious, shared how the conference shaped her understanding of leadership.

“Being a leader isn’t just about giving instructions. It’s also about considering others, being responsible, and setting a good example.”
