Student Leadership Weekend

We are delighted that the return of the Student Leadership Weekend, hosted by the British School of Bucharest, took place from 14-16 November 2025. 

Students in Years 12 and 13 at COBIS member schools attended the weekend. It provided them with the skills and tools to successfully lead a student body, and the opportunity to gain a qualification that has been recognised by the Royal Chartered Management Institute.

This event has already taken place. Please email students@cobis.org.uk if you are interested in attending next year, 2026.

Programme

Please note, participants will be supervised by colleagues from the British School of Bucharest during the workshops, however they will be unsupervised in the evening.
