Year 9

Model United Nations Evatt Competition

Over the last four months a team of Year 9, 10 and 11 students have been learning how to take part in Model United Nations (MUN) competitions. This competition engages high school students across Australia in world affairs and issues through debating mock Security Council resolutions from the position of an assigned country. These are a highly regarded set of domestic and international competitions. 

On Saturday, these teams took part in preliminary round of The Evatt Competition, run by UN Youth Australia.  

Year 9 students Andy Guan and Daniel Bond went to UTS to argue as representatives of Switzerland on the question of Martine Asylum Seekers in the United Kingdom.  

Well done to both students and we are looking forward to seeing the results at the end of the preliminary round. 

Student Entrepreneur

Congratulations to Year 9 student Josh Dubowsky who recently entered and won the Sprig Tank competition hosted by money app business, Spriggy. Josh presented his idea on a day-trading platform for youths which impressed the judges who are also providing assistance to help him get his idea off the ground.
