SistersIN 2025-26 it was great to welcome our new mentors to school. The buzz in the room was infectious as our L6 mentees met their mentors for the first time. We thank them all for becoming involved in this unique programme to inspire the female leaders of tomorrow.
The SistersIN programme provides a combination of mentoring, training and networking opportunities designed to build confidence and empower girls – and the deputy First Minister said she was looking forward to supporting Sophie and providing guidance and encouragement.
Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly has visited Strathearn to meet with her SistersIN mentee Sophie Murray, for their first mentorship session. The deputy First Minister praised the SistersIN programme.
As part of their Leadership journey the Sisters IN mentees attended the Inspiring Entrepreneurs event at Belfast City Hall 19/11. This was hosted by Danske Bank & the girls heard about Alice & Ashleigh’s inspiring business journeys & their advice for young female entrepreneurs.
The girls thoroughly enjoyed the event, an amazing venue and Sophie even got to meet @ciaramageeanrun ! Thank you to @danskebankuk for a great morning. #inspiringthenextgenerationofleaders #encourage#empower#excel
Last Wednesday the SistersIN girls were invited to an entrepreneurship event at Belfast City Hall hosted by Danske Bank. They got to hear from two inspirational women and their journeys to becoming successful entrepreneurs and business women.
A massive thank you to @QUBelfast for a brilliant event including lunch! Everyone left feeling empowered, full of thoughts about topics ranging from concrete to Barbie & so much in between!!! ‘INspiring the next generation of female leaders.’

What an inspirational day our @_sistersin cohort had at QUB today. A phenomenal line up of leaders speaking on AI - Friend or Foe, Building (&/breaking) Bridges, InterSim for better health and Thinking through Film, followed by breakout sessions in a variety of topics.
Well done to Emma Smyth who raised money for Jengana with ‘Guess the name of the teddy’ and organising the House Quiz alongside the House Captains this week. She completed this as part of her project for the SistersIN Leadership programme.
Congratulations to Hope who was selected to make a speech at the ‘2048 The Future is Now’ event held at the Stormont parliament building in Belfast this morning, 12 young female students shared their vision of Northern Ireland in front of a VIP audience.
There was a real buzz of excitement as we begin the amazing journey of opportunities that we know this programme will bring for all involved.
Thank you to the Mentors for volunteering to be part of SistersIN, inspiring and empowering the next generation of female leaders!
