The Servant Leadership System

The Servant Leadership system at Chisipite is the cornerstone of our belief that every pupil has the potential in them to lead with grace and empathy. In Lower Six, the pupils are invited to apply for leadership positions in the areas of school life they are most passionate about. In providing each pupil with a leadership portfolio, we give them the tools to be of service to others in their chosen area of the community. By entrusting each pupil with a set of responsibilities and goals for their Upper Sixth year, we are equipping them to learn the value of the team and the individual’s agency and accountability within that team.

At Chisipite we learn to lead by example and understand that leadership emerges primarily from those who want to serve. Service to others is integral to our leadership development programme. By giving of ourselves and lifting others up, we engender a community spirit of faith, hope and love, allowing the generations who come after us to benefit from our actions and add their contribution to the legacy of the Servant Leadership system.
