Model United Nations Conference

Nearly 300 St. Clare's staff and students participated in the St. Clare's Model United Nations conference hosted at the Oxford Town Hall. As first year IB student Disha Banerjee-Bhattacharya explains, "The entire student body assembled at the Oxford Town Hall to participate in committees dedicated to debating some of our world's greatest social, economic and political crises. Smart suits and elegant black dresses were the flavour of the day, giving our delegates a most distinguished air. Some commendable results were achieved, in the form of resolutions being passed and students getting passionately involved in arguing the viewpoint of their chosen countries. Congratulations to all of you and thank you for your contribution".

Throughout the months of preparation for the event and during the day the students were supported and guided by staff members, particularly David Staton and Andrew Young.

The conference was a very valuable educational experience. It was also a good demonstration for students that those who put in the most effort benefited the most.

Tom Walsh, Vice Principal at St. Clare's, summed up the event. "While I believe we all work to advance international education and understanding on a day to day basis at St. Clare's, such major events as the MUN conference make a special and considerable contribution to the College mission."
