The Student Leaders Convention (SLC) is an annual leadership convention hosted by Hwa Chong Institution. It aims to brings together student leaders on an international level to engage in exploration and discussion about current world issues^[1]. It has managed to attract a few schools in the Asia-Pacific region to send their student leaders for the convention. The SLC was inaugurated in 1995, and has evolved from a one-day leadership seminar into a discussion arena for student leaders to address and discuss significant global issues that are changing and shaping the international landscape^[2].
