Model UN Conference 2019
On Thursday 10 October, De La Salle College hosted its fifth Model United Nations Conference – a highly anticipated event on the students’ calendar.
The topic for this year was, ‘Planet Oceans: Protecting the World’s Oceans, Seas and Marine Resources’.
This year, 103 Year 10–12 students from nine different schools participated – the largest delegation to date.
- De La Salle College
- Ivanhoe Grammar School
- Parade College
- Mazenod College
- Sacred Heart Girls College, Oakleigh
- Siena College
- Caulfield Grammar
- Lauriston Girls’ School
- OLSH Bentleigh
As the host school, De La Salle had a very strong cohort of 29 students that participated on the day – a number of whom are now veterans of the diplomatic battlefield.
The participants are all to be congratulated on how well they represented the College – their knowledge of their allocated country’s position and history regarding marine conservation and resources was impressive and allowed for genuine critical engagement with other delegates during negotiations and moderated caucuses.
