INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE – Harvard Model United Nations Australia
Over the course of four days, our IB Global Politics students attended Harvard University’s Model United Nations Australia, a simulation for high school students at the University of Technology, Sydney.
Our ‘delegates’ gained insight into the workings of the United Nations and the dynamics of international relations by assuming the roles of world leaders and international decision-makers.
It has been a wonderful opportunity for our young women to debate the most pressing issues of the day and to draft innovative, creative solutions, and develop their public speaking, negotiation, teamwork, leadership, and policy crafting skills.
A huge congratulations to Sara Chander, who was awarded an Honourable mention for her contribution as the delegate for the People’s Republic of Korea in the Disarmament and International Security Committee.
An Honourable Mention in Harvard’s Model United Nations is a prestigious award recognizing one of the highest-performing delegates in a committee. It honours students who display exceptional diplomacy, exhibit strong resolution skills and signifies that the delegate made a major impact on committee proceedings through negotiation and debate.
