Dublin MUN - April 2012
During the Easter holidays, 12 Royal Russell Students attended SAIMUN, the four day Model United Nations conference based in Dun Laoghaire near Dublin. It is a very well run International conference with over 100 delegations and this year only two schools came over from the UK.


Haileybury MUN - March 2012
Twenty-two students attended the Haileybury MUN conference in March. It was a tough conference with a very high standard of debating and Haileybury's biggest yet, with over 600 students from leading international and UK schools. Despite this a number of our students did really well, Hamza got his resolution debated and passed into the GA (although sadly there was not time to debate it) and Georgia, Sam and Jason also got their resolutions debated - no mean achievement with over 160 resolutions approved and only about 40 reaching committee.


Haberdashers' Aske's MUN - March 2012
This year a record number of Royal Russell students attended the 2012 Haberdashers' MUN conference in March with 27 students representing 5 different countries and 2 members of the press team.


City of London MUN - March 2012
Saturday 10 March saw two delegations of pupils and students from Royal Russell attend the City of London School MUN conference. Located next to St Paul’s Cathedral on the banks of The Thames, this is a fantastic venue, and the quality of the conference and debate was equal to it.


Lady Eleanor Holles MUN - February 2012
Nine Royal Russell pupils headed to Lady Eleanor Holles School for their fourth annual MUN conference. Our pupils began very quickly in getting their resolutions supported in lobbying and five pupils managed to get their resolutions to approval panel that evening. After an interesting talk by Lord Hannay, the former UK ambassador to the United Nations, Charlotte, Kat and Maria all delivered impressive opening speeches to the General Assembly. Maria, who spoke so well in her committee, managed to win a Highly Commended Delegate Award – a fantastic achievement.

Model United Nations Introduction
Royal Russell School has been active in organising and participating in Model United Nations meetings for 30 years. A Model United Nations meeting is more about developing communication skills than it is about the United Nations as an organisation. Although the UN forms the basic framework, MUN gives students the opportunity to talk to, listen to and sometimes persuade people from other schools to accept their views. Students take part in debating and public speaking and develop leadership skills.


Benenden MUN - December 2011
Twenty-two Royal Russell students attended the 4^th annual Benenden MUN this December. Competing against mainly Sixth Form delegates from top independent schools our students had another excellent conference with every student speaking at least twice in their committees. Every committee had three awards – two highly commended and one outstanding delegate. Michelle (Year 10) representing Kenya and Kaitlin (Year 12) representing USA both won highly commended delegate awards in their committees and Sam representing North Korea (Year 10) and Barty representing Fatah (Year 8) won the prestigious outstanding delegate awards.
