Model United Nations New Co-curricular Program

Overview of the MUN Program

Many high schools recognise the importance of a co-curricular program that facilitates participation in Model United Nations (MUN) events throughout Sydney, Australia, and worldwide. At MLC School, we are excited to introduce two dedicated MUN classes during term time: a Junior class for Year 7 and Year 8, held from 3.30 to 4.30pm, and a Senior class for Year 9 to Year 12, running from 4.30pm to 6pm, both scheduled on Thursdays. These sessions will be guided by experienced Model UN alumni who bring a wealth of practical knowledge to the classroom, focusing on teaching the fundamentals of MUN and preparing students for future conferences and events run by UN Youth Australia, including the Evatt Competition, NSW Voice Competition and NSW Negotiations competition.
