Head boy and Head girl
Chairperson Brandeley Isaaks complements this approach with a bold vision of collective growth. His leadership philosophy is anchored in teamwork and accountability.
“An LRC is strongest when every member understands that leadership is not about one person standing out, but about all of us moving forward together,” he states.
For Brandeley, integrity is non-negotiable. “To be a leader means being accountable, setting an example even when no one is watching, and striving to create an environment where every learner feels valued and heard.”
Together, Brandeley and Roxen balance vision with compassion, discipline with empathy – a duo that embodies the spirit of servant leadership.
For vice-chairperson Roxen Gamises, leadership is deeply personal. She believes in speaking for those who cannot and in building bridges where divides might exist. “I’ve always liked leading, to be the voice for those who were too afraid to speak up, and to be the bridge between my fellow learners and my teachers,” she reflects.
Her philosophy of leadership goes beyond rules and authority; it is grounded in empathy. “Sometimes learners or my peers don’t listen to instructions or they break rules. I’ve learnt to be patient and connect with them before correcting them, because once they feel seen and heard, they listen too,” Roxen explains.
To those who dream of stepping into leadership, she offers a word of wisdom: “Know your why. Don’t just run to be an LRC because it looks cool. It must be your passion – something you strive to improve continuously.”
