Our Year 12 IB students have demonstrated their excellence by representing the school at the Model United Nations Conference in Madrid. Our first cohort of IB students are making huge progress with the IB, demonstrating leadership, intelligence, communication and the skills required to be successful with their studies and achieve excellent grades in the IB. We are delighted for their success.
The delegates were prepared and accompanied by Ms Meredith. We are very pleased that our confident and collaborative communicators spoke and debated effectively in front of many other delegates from around 40 schools in Spain and around Europe, Africa and the US.
The whole delegation won ‘Best Delegation at MUN Madrid’. Congratulations to Marcos, Diana, Mia, Ulises, Carlota, Mateo, Arturo and Sara. This award is given to the delegation who worked together most coherently, demonstrated the most commitment and participated fully in the conference.
Sara won ‘Outstanding Delegate’ for her committee UNHCR representing the delegation of Algeria.
Mateo received an ‘Honourable Mention’ for his commitment to the European Council where he represented Portugal.
Both Arturo (Lithuania) and Mateo (Portugal) received awards for best position paper in the European Council committee.
The topics debated included:
ECOSOC – Preventing disruptions in the global supply chain through secure maritime trade
EUCO – Fostering Cooperation with the Global South
UNHCR – The Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan
We are all very proud of them and it continues to be an absolute pleasure to be working alongside our first IBDP cohort.
