Mock United Nations @ Nga Tawa

Caleb, Rohan and Bailey represented Greece at a mock UN assembly at Nga Tawa in November.  They debated international issues such as education for girls, caring for refugees, and improving access for all to education.  The other schools involved were Huntley,  Nga Tawa, and Carncot. It was really hard finding good arguments and rebuttals for all the points raised but all the boys presented their arguments very thoughtfully. They received a certificate for the best food representing their country.  They shared Greek honey pastries at the lunch which were much appreciated.   Hopefully we will have a debating group trained up to go to the Wanganui Youth UN Assembly next year. 
Below are pix of Caleb speaking and the other boys listening.
