A leader should be confident and humble enough to influence other students, says Neharika Prasad.

She is the head girl of Rishikul Sanatan College (RSC).

The 17-year- old had been a leader since Year 11 and has achieved her goal of becoming the head prefect.

She aims to set an example so that the students have zero discipline issues.

Her mother, Pranita Prasad said being a teacher at RSC and witnessing her daughter’s achievement was a great moment.

“Her younger sister is also a college prefect here and they have made us proud.”

Head boy, Rishnav Chand, 18, believes that a leader should be confident and calm.

He was also badged deputy head boy last year.

“I thank my parents for supporting me and believing that I would make a great and confident leader.”

The school has a roll of more than 1000 students.

A total of 156 prefects, 54 class captains, 27 student council reps, 65 college prefects and six head prefects were badged yesterday.
