At the end of Term 4 the annual Marymount College Model United Nations Conference 2024 took place. This was the largest Model UN of its kind to be run at Marymount College this year.
Student Delegates represented the views, isues and values of different countries. Activities on the day included: making speeches, researching their country, writing a position paper, working in smaller committees, as well as of course, networking and high level diplomacy at morning tea and lunch.
The topic was: ‘This United Nations assembly endorses the legalisation of Marijuana and encourages first world countries to support the legal and regulated growing of marijuana crops and industries in developing countries.’
This event was largely facilitated by the Model UN student executive. They basically ran the day! Capably lead by our 2025 Lead Delegates (Marymount UN Captain) Harlow Ierna and Ryan Lockwood, who were also the Secretary General for this conference. As well as Junior Captain Andy McKay and the other students who assisted: Especially, Harlow, Ryan and Veronika Doroshenko for taking time out of their holidays to come and assist with the conference. And doing an outstanding job as conference convenors.
Also thank you to Mrs Allison Emo-Golding for her invaluable assistance and Mrs Lauren Hutchinson for her support.
There are a host of exciting Model United Nations and diplomacy related events and opportunities in 2025, watch this space.
