Model United Nations Assembly

Model United Nations Assembly

On 30-31 July, six boys from Year 11 participated in Rotary Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) held at Epping Boys High School. This involved Senior students debating topical world issues from the perspective of an assigned nation. All teams were given six resolutions to support or oppose, as well as proposing amendments to modify the given resolutions. Team France consisted of Jimmy Nicholas, Ethan Tan and Justin Gao whilst Blake Fite, Aaron Rucinski and Patrick Zhang made up Team Indonesia.

Teams were scored based on a variety of factors: knowledge of the issues and their nation, their debating abilities and public speaking. After two days of fierce competition, Team France took home the prize for Best Dressed while Team Indonesia won the overall competition, earning them a place in the National Round in Canberra which will be happening on 19-21 August. We wish them luck and congratulate both teams for their quality efforts in preparing and participating in MUNA.
