TIGHS’ sixth form conference inspires the next generation of leaders

As part of its extensive extra-curricular programme for sixth form students, Tauheedul Islam Girls’ High School and Sixth Form College (TIGHS) hosted an event featuring a roster of influential female leaders.

The annual ‘Inspire and Aspire Leadership Conference’ featured talks from inspirational female role models to inform students’ career choices and motivate them to choose fulfilling vocations.

Amongst the guest speakers sharing their astounding stories were Misba Khan, the first British Muslim to take part in an Arctic expedition to the North Pole. Misba talked of her challenging journey and urged students to draw on her own experiences to find the strength and courage to overcome any barriers they may face in their future education, career or life.

The conference is part of the school’s Aspiration Programme – a series of weekly enrichment activities for sixth form students to widen their experiences and develop their leadership skills, to support them to lead successful and rewarding lives. Although much of the enrichment programme is centred around inspiring future careers and further education – such as journalism, coding and university applications – sports and creativity also form key themes of the programme. This year students will have the opportunity to try their hand at a diverse range of activities including martial arts, photography, British Sign Language, textiles and calligraphy.
