MBM – Mengasah Bakat Memimpin
SMK Ayer Tawar
Yong Pek Ying
Background
- SMK Ayer Tawar is located in Perak, with about 1000 students.
- The Christian Fellowship (CF) has high attendance (>80%) as students find the activities beneficial.
The Challenge
- Only 4 new member enrolment.
- Student committee’s leadership skills are low.
Less than one-third of students participate actively in the CF.
Without intervention, CF risks a shortage of capable leaders, reduced interest, and further enrolment decline.
The Solution: Mengasah Bakat Memimpin (MBM)
- Discussion with 6 student committee members (AJK) to identify issues and solutions.
- Whatsapp EXCO ISCF group to plan activities and assign tasks.
- Delegate work and organise training sessions one week before CF meetings.
- Goals: 100% AJK are able to plan 1-hour CF activities in advance and lead confidently.
Impact So Far
- All AJK attended planning session and took active roles in a Telematch.
- Clear improvements in AJK’s ability to plan and run weekly activities observed.
- Student survey shows increased willingness to take leadership roles (+13%).
- Reduced teacher-led approach in planning (-35%).
Sustainability & Next Steps
- Continue planning discussions in Whatsapp group.
- Extend project until year-end to track further leadership growth.
- Scale into a Mandatory New AJK Training Project for all school clubs, societies and uniform units to prepare new committee members annually.
How You Can Help
- We are looking for funding and resources to scale this project to all student committee of clubs, societies and uniform units in the school. It will be a full-day leadership training on how to discharge their respective responsibilities.
