The Rotary Club of Moss Vale, The Rotary club of Bowral-Mittagong and The Rotary e-club of Brindabella, are combining in May, to host the annual MUNA (Model of United Nations Assembly) for our local high school students.
Year 10 and 11 students from Bowral High, Chevalier College, Frensham School, Moss Vale High, Oxley College, Southern Highlands Christian School and St Paul's International College, will participate in the debate.
Competing in this program helps to give the students self-confidence, as well as skills in public speaking, cultural awareness, working in teams, and listening. The student teams choose a country to represent and debate resolutions from the perspective of that country. The resolutions debated are similar to ones recently debated in the United Nations and the student teams develop an understanding of the workings of the UN, as well as researching the chosen country’s politics, geography, economics, finances and cultural beliefs.
Rotary International shares the United Nations ethos of working toward peace and addressing humanitarian issues around the world.
In past years Southern Highlands schools have been very successful at MUNA and our three Rotary Clubs are proud to sponsor our amazing young people, at this important National event!
