Model UN @ SAC

Yesterday, Year 9 and 10 students embraced the world of diplomacy during our in-school Model UN event. With lively yet thoughtful debates throughout the whole day, they tackled complex global issues based around ownership of the moon and the return of cultural property that has been stolen in the past. The day was a great success, with the students passing two resolutions with amendments. This included the formation of a 12-nation "United Earth Coalition" to lead lunar research and (in a dramatic twist) the assembly unanimously voting to sanction the US after a shocking double-cross and nuclear threats. 

The event concluded with the presentation of awards to recognise outstanding contributions. These accolades highlighted the students’ creativity, critical thinking, and collaborative spirit. These awards included: 

• Best Delegate
• Most likely to start a World War
• Most likely to join the UN
• Best Walking Flag
• Most Humanitarian
• and several more

Excitingly, the students are eager to keep the momentum going, with plans to establish a student-led Model UN society on both campuses in 2025. 

A special thanks to the staff, Dr Kennaugh, Mrs Anthony, Mrs Reddy and Miss for their support in the lead-up and on the day of the event. Another huge thank you has to go to Mr Camilleri, Ms Malonzo, Miss Amiri, Miss Negline and Mr Sheehan for popping in and encouraging the students. Check out some photos below to see our students in action!
