Introduction
Can a school truly claim to be a suitable environment if its own student
government fails to address conflicts among students? But, what does Leadership really
mean? It is \not just about having a title, Leadership is a set of mindsets and behaviors
that aligns people in a collective direction, enables them to work together and
accomplish shared goals, and helps them adjust to changing environments 1. In our
school system, we have the organization called the “SSLG” or the Supreme Student
Learner Government. Where their role is to serve, protect, and promote the rights and
welfare of every learner2. This organization are a set of learners that was elected for a
particular position. Even though they are elected on different positions, all of them has
the responsibility to lead. This study focuses on student leadership, which refers to the
roles and responsibilities undertaken by students within educational institutions 3. The
responsibilities of student leaders extend beyond the exercise of authority within the
campus. Us, the researchers, has chosen this topic to promote awareness on students
and younger generations, in terms of choosing and electing public officials not only
inside an institution but also in political elections. The reason behind this instance is
because public officials are the one who will guide everyone one of us on the path of
rightfulness, that is also one of the factor why we voted a candidate for a certain
position because we know on ourselves that this particular person can help us in terms
of improving our community. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the
relationship between Leadership of Student Government and the Discipline, Peace and
Orderliness inside an Educational Institution.
Student Leadership
Student leadership is referring to the positions of responsibility and influence held
by the learners inside an institution. This responsibility enhances students’ engagement
and motivation not only in academics but also in their character and morale. These roles

can also affect their skills, improving their essential skills such as in communication,
team work and even time management (Abbas S. 2024). Leadership of students who
stand out for their effective with an outstanding behavior setting them from their peer
(Goktas, Akyurek 2023). According also to a study of Goktas and Akyurek, the impact of
school happiness on student leadership is moderate and positive. Also, school
happiness significantly predicts student leadership. It can be observed that those who
experience or feel happiness are more likely to show their leadership qualities. In
addition, school happiness and leadership of student is indeed connected, the reason
behind this instance is because as the level of school happiness increases, the quantity
of students who leaners who shows their leadership behavior also increases. Therefore,
the reason for effective leadership is due to high level of school happiness.
Campus Peace and Orderliness
The orderliness inside an educational institution shall be observed all the time, in
order for everyone to effectively do their task and works. We all know that no one is
comfortable working in an environment that is not orderly or neat. Inside an educational
institution, particularly in secondary schools we are taught to conduct ourselves properly
and appropriately, actions must be humane. The peacefulness inside an educational
institution can affect the effectiveness of learning. In 2018, researchers Miller and
Abdou suggested a new way to create a peaceful and welcoming school environment.
They call it the IPPL or the Integral Perspective of Peace Leadership. It is all about
looking at the whole image and not just about solving the issues or fixing problems, but
also about helping teachers, staffs, and even the school community grow as a whole
and as one4. The goal is to create a school where everyone feels like they belong, and
are treated with respect, and feel safe and comfortable. A peaceful campus enhances
academic performance and personal growth, this is because the students are already
comfortable on the environment that they are in. Therefore, the peacefulness and
orderliness inside the campus has to do something with the behavior and performance
of students.

Conclusion
Effective student leaders, of course can effectively lead the students. This does
not only affect the mood of the campus but also give opportunities on students to exert
their leadership abilities and hidden talents. When talking about the leadership of
students, we focus on the effectiveness of their leadership and their strategies. In
addition, leadership is not always about the power that the leaders have to overrule the
people under their custody, but also about them on how will they participate to the group
to execute tasks efficiently and effectively. Example is how good or how bad is the
leadership of this officer, are they doing their task or are they just using their positions to
rule over the students? These are only the possible questions that we might encounter
when talking about student leadership, there are still a lot of factors affecting the student
leadership, especially on higher education. On the other hand, the Peacefulness and
Orderliness inside an educational institution also has to deal something the leadership,
particularly in happiness and environment. According to the study of Goktas and
Akyurek, as the level of school happiness increases, the number of students showing
their leadership behavior also increases. This simply means that the relation between
Student Leadership and Campus Peace and Orderliness is essential on building an
effective learning environment for the learners, making them more active in exerting
efforts not only in academics but also in extracurricular activities, this is due to as they
feel comfortable, their confidence builds up making them feel free to show their natural
talents. Furthermore, ensuring that everyone feels safe and respected, and lie they
really belong to their environment is essential on helping students became good
leaders. Students are more likely to participate when they feel like they being heard and
valued by their environment. That feeling of connectedness and value makes the feel
like they wanted to make their school a safe and better environment. Therefore, the
effect of Peaceful and orderly campus is a comfortable environment for the learners to
exert their talents and leadership skill.

The main reason we chose to do this study comes from our experiences in the
BNIS SSLG, which is our local Student Government. The way they lead, being open
and caring about everyone, really inspired us. We wanted to understand how student
leaders can be successful in different situations and what makes the BNIS SSLG so
good at it. We're looking at what makes the BNIS SSLG work so well. It seems like
they're really good at being open with everyone and making sure people feel safe and
supported. They've also made the school a happier place by doing lots of fun things for
everyone, not just students. This study is our way of sharing what we've learned from
watching the BNIS SSLG officers. They take their jobs seriously and do a great job of
helping our school. To show how well they do things, they've made videos and written
reports about all the cool projects they've done. The BNIS SSLG is a great example of
how a student government can be well-organized and really care about its members.
You can see this not just in what they do, but also in how they plan and run all their
events.
