Student leadership team at MCM College is oriented towards working as a collective central unit of residential college life. Student leaders (resident tutors, resident assistants and House Association) are recruited and trained to be core components for carrying out pastoral care, and are expected to contribute to its overall welfare. In short, they strive to accomplish diverse objectives of the college together.

On Sunday, 7^th January, 2024, College academic staff organised a full-day retreat for students at Vila de S. José, Coloane, with collaboration from Bosco Youth Service Network. According to trainer Wong Cheng Seng, understanding the different team roles and their contributions to success enables student leaders to forge effective collaboration within the team. Team-building and retreat are a great way for student leaders to step back and reevaluate their work. This allows them to continue with their respective roles with renewed energy and vigor and higher productivity.

During the retreat, RTs, RAs and House Association bonded in a relaxed environment whilst forming fresh input and ideas on college common goals. The challenging team-building activities were also a way for the college to highlight its strengths: allowing college staff an opportunity to learn more about student leaders’ potential leadership and see how it will fit into the team dynamics and constantly changing environment.
