UN Conference

On Monday 22 May, Kew High School participated in the United Nations Conference held at Our Lady of Mercy College. This was a huge annual event where twenty other teams from local schools participated.  Kew High School year 12 students including, Lukas Matovinovic, Ferris Hansen and Finn Byrne, debated and proposed amendments on the resolution of asylum seekers.

The team successfully had their amendments adopted and added new amendments. This involved debating, speeches, and negotiating. The students gained a deeper understanding of world perspectives on asylum seekers and the constraints on countries in aiding them.

Overall, it was a fantastic day spent amongst future international diplomats.
