ABOUT 180 female students from eight countries gathered at Raffles' Girls School on Monday for a five-day convention designed to mould future women leaders.

The biennial Raffles Girls' School (RGS) International Convention for Youth Leaders will see the students attend talks by female diplomats, visit companies like SingTel and go through psycho-analytical tests to uncover their leadership styles.

Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam was the guest-of-honour for the opening ceremony which was held on Monday at RGS.
