The Model United Nations Assembly is an annual event to educate senior high school students on the United Nations organization. Students develop and practise their public speaking skills whilst debating topical world issues.
This year we sponsored Kirrawee High & Inaburra. Each school is given a country to represent. Kirrawee were given Russia, and Inaburra South Korea.
Each school (i.e. country) is asked to put a resolution to “the General Assembly" (all other students representing their countries) then argue in support, or voice their opposition based on their country’s laws & beliefs.
MUNA is conducted on the floor of the NSW Parliament House in Macquarie Street, it’s a real privilege that these students can sit where the State is governed.
It has an authentic and realistic atmosphere, which brings out the best in the student debaters.
The teams are encouraged to dress in their country’s national dress, the Kirrawee team dressed the part.
Of course, there are running expenses to be met, we sponsored each school at a cost of $410, and this money is raised by our fundraising activities.
The Rotary club of Sutherland has a very strong focus on developing youth, this is but one of many projects we support.
