BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi Students Take the Oath of Service, Embracing Leadership Roles

On 15 August 2025, BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi proudly witnessed a significant moment in its academic calendar: the Oath of Service ceremony for its newly elected Primary and Secondary Student Council members. The event marked more than a formal declaration; it symbolised the beginning of an inspiring journey into leadership, service, and responsibility for the young leaders of tomorrow.

The ceremony brought together students, teachers, and school leaders to celebrate a milestone in the lives of these pupils, who pledged their commitment to lead by example and contribute positively to their school community. With hands raised and hearts resolute, the student leaders took their Oath of Service, a moment that embodied not only tradition but also a deep sense of purpose and dedication.

A Commitment to Leadership from an Early Age

The Oath of Service was a reminder that leadership is not confined to adulthood. At BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi, the ethos of nurturing leadership skills from a young age is deeply ingrained. The newly appointed Primary and Secondary Council members demonstrated that even at an early stage of their academic journey, they are capable of shouldering responsibilities, making decisions, and inspiring their peers.

By taking this oath, the students committed themselves to serve with integrity, fairness, and vision. The ceremony encouraged them to move beyond the boundaries of the classroom and to see themselves as role models whose choices and actions could shape the school’s culture.

The Significance of the Oath of Service

An oath carries weight, not merely in the words spoken, but in the promises upheld through action. For the students of BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi, the Oath of Service represented a pledge to embody the values of leadership, teamwork, and service. It wasn’t just a symbolic act. But, it was a clear commitment to listen, act responsibly, and support the well-being of the school community.

By embracing their roles, these student leaders accepted the challenge of being accountable to their peers and teachers alike. And leadership, in this context, is not about authority, but about service. It ensures that every student feels represented and that every voice within the community is heard.

Preparing Leaders for the Future

The Oath of Service is more than a ceremonial tradition. It is a deliberate step in preparing students for the wider responsibilities they will encounter beyond the walls of their school. In a rapidly changing world, leadership skills such as communication, collaboration, and problem-solving are more essential than ever. 

BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi’s approach to cultivating these qualities through practical opportunities like the Student Council ensures that pupils are not only academically accomplished but also socially and emotionally equipped for future challenges.

This early exposure to leadership allows students to build confidence in expressing their ideas, take initiative in projects that benefit others, and practice decision-making that considers the greater good. Such experiences create a foundation for future leaders who can thrive not just in academic environments, but also in professional and civic life.

A Shared Celebration of Achievement

The Oath of Service ceremony was not only a personal milestone for each elected council member but also a celebration for the entire BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi community. 

This moment also underscored the collaborative spirit of the school. Leadership does not occur in isolation, and the newly sworn-in council members will rely on the support of their peers, mentors, and teachers to carry out their responsibilities effectively. The event reflected the collective belief that leadership is a shared journey, one that flourishes in a community that values respect, responsibility, and service.

The Journey Begins

As the newly elected Primary and Secondary Student Council members embark on their roles, they do so with a strong sense of responsibility and a passion for leadership. Their Oath of Service marks the beginning of an exciting journey that will challenge them to grow, serve, and inspire.

BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi has once again demonstrated its commitment to nurturing leadership from an early age, recognising that today’s young leaders are tomorrow’s agents of change. The Oath of Service ceremony was a powerful reminder that when students are entrusted with responsibility and guided with care, they rise to the occasion with courage, vision, and dedication.

With their oath freshly spoken and their commitment clear, these young leaders now stand ready to embrace their roles, determined to leave a lasting positive impact on their school and beyond.
