She Leads Possera Summit 2026

Theme: Human in the Loop

I can. I will. Watch Me.

Date: Thursday, 13 August 2026
Location: Granowski Auditorium, St Hilda’s School, Gold Coast
Audience: Year 11 female students (nominated by participating schools across Southeast Queensland)

The She Leads Possera Summit is a student-led leadership summit designed by young women, for young women. Now in its third year, it brings together Year 11 girls from schools across all sectors in Queensland for a full day of leadership, connection, and action. It is unique in Australia. The summit is shaped, hosted, and curated by the Meta Masters girls of St Hilda's School, and every element of the day puts student voice at the centre. This is not an event that talks at girls. It is a day that speaks with them.

The 2026 theme, Human in the Loop, responds to the most urgent question facing the next generation of leaders. What does it mean to lead with full humanity in an AI-shaped world? The day is built around four notes, each brought to life by a remarkable woman living that note in her work, and each designed in collaboration with the Meta Masters girls. The girls will engage, deliberate, question, create, and leave with thinking they wrote themselves.

Special Guest Opening

The summit will be formally opened by the Mayor of the City of Gold Coast, recognising young women's leadership as a civic and economic priority.
