SHE LEADS: Middle School Conference 2026
BHS Launches Middle School Programme
BHS is pleased to announce the return of She Leads: A Real World Readiness Programme, Middle School Conference 2026, which will take place at BHS from March 30th to April 1st from 9:00am – 3:00pm during the Spring / Easter Break.
Since 2019, previously in partnership with HSBC, BHS has been offering a summer leadership programme to young women entering their final year of High School. The 2019 and 2021 cohorts were made up of students from BHS, Berkeley and CedarBridge, and in 2022, the programme was expanded to welcome students from the Bermuda Institute, MSA and one home school.
The 2025 cohort consisted of 33 middle school girls from BHS, Dellwood, Sandys, Warwick Academy, and Whitney Institute. For the first time ever, we introduced an investment opportunity for students, allowing them to “invest” an amount at the start of the conference with a guaranteed return on the last day if they attended and participated in all three days. This was a great success and is believed to have contributed to the great participation and consistent attendance.
In total, over 80 young women have taken part in the programme since its inception, which has been designed to connect students across schools and provide them with a meaningful leadership and development programme. The week-long programme teaches coping skills for stress, tools to boost their confidence and strengthen their resilience, public speaking skills and ultimately builds their leadership capabilities by focusing on networking, personal strengths and character development.
Students in Year 9 and M3 will be nominated by their schools to take part in the programme.
Any homeschool students who wish to take part can register here.
