The Lakes South Morang College Newsletter CURRICULUM
On Monday 28th April, 8 VIA students from Years 8 and 9 attended the Model UN at Ivanhoe Grammar, joining a number of schools from around Melbourne to debate a set of resolutions related to Conflict and Peace in the world. Each team represented an allocated country, with our school presenting the interests of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the other the Kingdom of Bhutan.
Student reflections on the day include:
• I liked being able to talk with other school students who I would never have met otherswise.
• It helped me gain more confidence because I saw all these different school kids getting up and talking. It was very motivational. • I really enjoyed working with other students to solve real - world problems and speaking on behalf of a country. I learned how countries debate, make compromises, and write resolutions to support peace. • I learnt a lot about how the Model UN works and it ’ s not about what you believe is good but what the country thinks, so I had to really get used to talking and representing Bhutan.
