Leadership in Action: Adult Learning and Monitoring for Future Leaders
On 12 January 2026, the Lighthouse Adult Leadership Team came together for its first group meeting, marking an important step in strengthening leadership practices across the school community. This session focused on adult learning, monitoring and intentional planning—key elements that contribute to nurturing confident, independent leaders for the future.
At the heart of the discussion was the belief that strong leadership begins with strong foundations. When adults model clarity, consistency, and reflective practice, students naturally develop the habits and skills required to lead effectively.
One of the key outcomes of the meeting was the decision to organize a dedicated session for LIM students with the Teacher Lighthouse Team, aimed at developing a clear understanding of leadership roles and responsibilities. These interactions are designed to empower students, giving them ownership of their actions while fostering accountability and purpose.
The meeting also focused on strengthening partnerships beyond the classroom. The formation of a Parents Lighthouse Team was discussed, emphasizing the importance of shared responsibility in leadership development. Engaging parents as partners ensures that leadership values are reinforced consistently at school and at home.
A significant emphasis was placed on the Emotional Bank Account (EBA). Students will be encouraged to use their EBAs independently, building emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and resilience. It was agreed that EBAs must be used consistently across all lessons, ensuring that emotional learning is not treated as an add-on but as an integral part of leadership growth.
Equally important were discussions around planning sessions for adults. Effective leadership cannot exist without purposeful planning and meaningful monitoring. By focusing on adult learning strategies, reflective practices, and structured follow-ups, these sessions aim to strengthen instructional leadership and ensure sustained impact.
This meeting reinforced a core belief: BCLR does not focus solely on academic excellence. It is deeply committed to nurturing the Habits of Highly Effective People from a young age. When the roots are strong, the journey ahead becomes smoother, more confident, and more purposeful.
Through thoughtful planning, collaborative meetings, and intentional leadership practices, the Lighthouse initiative continues to pave the way for developing independent, emotionally intelligent, and future-ready leaders—leaders who are prepared not just for school, but for life.
