College Delegates Shine at Model United Nations Assembly in Canberra

Last weekend, from August 15 to 17, three Year 11 students, Sophee McFadyen, Emily Rossetto, and Alyssa Dedakis, proudly represented our College at the prestigious Model United Nations Assembly held at the Museum of Australian Democracy (Old Parliament House) in Canberra. Acting as delegates for Canada, the team engaged in lively and thoughtful debate on six crucial global resolutions focused on human rights and peace and security.

Over the three days, Sophee, Emily, and Alyssa demonstrated exceptional diplomatic skills, critical thinking, and teamwork as they navigated complex international issues with fellow student delegates from across the country. Their commitment to understanding diverse perspectives and working towards consensus embodied the spirit of the United Nations.

This experience not only deepened their knowledge of global affairs but also developed key skills in negotiation, public speaking, and leadership that will serve them well in their future studies and careers.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Rotary Moruya for their generous sponsorship, supporting our College’s participation in this valuable learning opportunity each year. Special thanks also go to Rotary Canberra Sunrise for hosting this outstanding annual event and providing a platform for young leaders to engage with pressing world challenges.

Thank you also to Anna Voysey-McManus who organised Team Canada’s outfits for this event. They looked wonderful and unmistakably Canadian!

Congratulations to Sophee, Emily, and Alyssa on their outstanding representation of the College and for contributing to meaningful discussions about human rights and global peace.
