On Friday August 5, seven of our students from Years 9 and 10 went to debate at the EVATT Model United Nations UN Youth competition. Sankalpa Rao and Stephanie Barito (representing Spain), Hayden Radford and Jordan Van Rhyn (Senegal), Leo Crnogorcevic (Japan) and Nipun Kapadia and Grace Archer (Ukraine) debated three separate resolutions each and carried themselves very well through the day.
All of our teams were effective speakers and negotiators, very active in debate and good team-players. Before the day had even begun, the Nossalonians were shaking hands with and meeting the other representatives, trying to get some early agreements happening. It was very heartening to see such enthusiasm and knowledge from so many young people on current issues and complex political situations. I was really very proud of their efforts and look forward to the feedback from the debates. I hope we will have as much and more representation next year.
