PMUN Conference

Last weekend our PMUN (Pymble Model United Nations) team held our second inter-school Winter Conference. We had a student guest speaker and a UN Youth workshop on the Friday evening and a full day of conference on Saturday. It was a wonderful event with delegates from over 22 schools in attendance. Thank you to Mulan Xu, our MUN Captain and her team who have worked hard to prepare for this. Thank you also to the parents who volunteered time. It was much appreciated.
