Cheung Hoi-nam, 13, Pope Paul VI College: I would choose Mickey Mouse to be a leader at my school because he is positive and always cheering for his friends. Also, our school motto is “love and service”, and Mickey Mouse cares for his friends a lot, too. So, I would choose Mickey Mouse as the leader at my school.
Kelvin Chan Man-hin, 16, Tsuen Wan Public Ho Chuen Yiu Memorial College: It would be Doraemon. Doraemon is a robot cat from the 22nd century. He has many useful gadgets, such as an “anywhere door” and a “translator tool”. Furthermore, Doraemon is lighthearted and very helpful. If Doraemon were our school leader, he would help us with his gadgets when we encounter difficulties.
Wong Ka-chung, 17, Pui Kiu College: I’ll choose SpongeBob SquarePants because I see this cute yellow sea sponge as a character who demonstrates optimism and the willingness to help others. Such good morals promote the importance of being friendly and kind to others, some of the most important qualities a leader should have.
Zita Lau, 13, CCC Chuen Yuen College: I will choose the Inside Out character Joy to be a leader at my school. Joy is good at socialising, has planning skills and emphasises harmonious cooperation. She can help design useful plans for students and conduct mediation when there are disagreements to make them less argumentative.

Jasmine Chau Tsz-ching, 15, Stewards Pooi Kei College: I would choose Olaf from Frozen. Olaf demonstrates how to make Christmas joyful for his family by putting their happiness ahead of his own. Reflecting on this inspires me to work positively as a school leader and to assist others in their times of need.
Jassie Tang Ching-wan, 11, Holy Angels Canossian School: I want to choose Twilight Sparkle because she is smart. She can teach us good skills and has magical abilities to help us solve our problems.
Yu Yatong, 14, Fung Kai Liu Man Shek Tong Secondary School: Elsa, the queen of Arendelle, is someone I genuinely admire. Her fascinating ice magic can create a ski resort or a heavy snowfall, filling our school life with wonder. Moreover, Elsa is brave and intelligent. Under her leadership, our school can progress tremendously.
Cyrus Guo, 15, Tsuen Wan Public Ho Chuen Yiu Memorial College: Batman would be a great school leader due to his intelligence, determination and sense of justice. He inspires teamwork, problem-solving and standing up for what is right. His resourcefulness and leadership would create a positive environment, motivating students to excel and help others, making him a perfect role model.
Leah Lei Lok-ching, 16, Cognitio College (Kowloon): “It is impossible to be entirely good or entirely bad to everyone,” said Armin Arlert from Attack on Titan. Schools need leaders like Armin Arlert, who challenge perspectives and explore ethics beyond exams, reminding students who strive to be good to accept that not everyone will consider them righteous.
Yee Wing-yan, 17, Carmel Secondary School: Phineas Flynn from Phineas and Ferb constantly comes up with fun and innovative ideas to explore in his free time. In today’s age of innovation, having him as a leader in our school would inspire us to think outside the box and generate creative ideas.
