LCMC Trains Student Leaders from Loreto Schools in Values-Based Leadership

On 24th January 2026, the Loyola Centre for Media and Communications (LCMC) conducted a one-day student leadership training for 55 student leaders from Loreto Convent Valley Road and Loreto Convent Msongari Primary and Junior Secondary Schools at the Mary Ward Centre, Karen. The training brought together primary and junior secondary school leaders, accompanied by three teachers, for a full day of reflection, learning, and skills development.

Facilitated by LCMC staff members Joy, Denson, Belvin, and Sr. Lydia, the training focused on nurturing resilient, values-driven leadership among young people. Key areas covered included leadership as service, servant leadership, effective communication, healthy relationships, conflict resolution, and active participation in school life.

Through participatory and age-appropriate approaches such as ethical decision-making exercises, group discussions, debates, and drama, students strengthened their communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Practical tools such as the EAR method (Eye Contact, Attention, Respond) and the Stoplight Method equipped learners to manage conflict constructively and lead by example.

By the end of the training, student leaders demonstrated a clearer understanding of leadership rooted in integrity, empathy, and responsibility, and expressed increased confidence in their ability to positively influence their peers and school communities.
