Student Leaders: Some New, Some Old but All Improved!

Club officers of the High School unit gathered for the annual Leadership Training Seminar (LTS) held last July 5, 2008 at the Sr. Kuniberta Hall.  This year’s activities focused on Interpersonal Communication in which all officers went through activities that would help them become more effective student leaders.  After the LTS, the participants came out better equipped to deal with their club members and problems.

The Student Council-sponsored activity provided the officers with games which helped them realized their duties and responsibilities as officers.  Facilitated and graded by three Ateneans, Chris, Rose and Kara, all officers participating in the games faced the challenging tasks prepared for them. Students were presented with three challenging tasks, namely: Crossing Over, Digital Communication and The Fashion Co. (Investment).  

The “Crossing Over” game had the objective of switching all the members of one group with members of another group without going out of the designated area.  The next round had the same objective but some were given disabilities. Once again, Scholasticans showed their skills by finishing the task within a record time. This activity taught students to work together and think of effective solutions quickly.  

The next task dubbed as “Digital Communication” required participants to pass a message, which was a real number and do it without talking.  Students once again showed their prowess in planning strategies and thought of different ways to effectively pass the number, others worked but others did not.  This activity emphasized the importance of effective oral communication within the group to avoid misunderstanding.   

The last task was a larger version of Tic-Tac-Toe called “The Fashion Co., An Investment Game”. Perhaps, this was one where the officers got the most insight for the activity taught them that instead of having a win/win situation; most groups chose to pull down each other.  In the end, only one group out of the three, succeeded in winning through working together and doing the right thing.  

After all the activities, we could say that the club officers were equipped with the skills needed to lead their clubs well.  In completing the LTS, these students leaders, some new, some old, all improved in their communication skills.
