Shrewsbury School – Top awards for MUN team
01 Feb 2016
Shrewsbury’s Model United Nations teams enjoyed an extremely successful weekend at the Manchester High School for Girls’ MUN Conference, 30th – 31st January, winning the most coveted Outstanding Delegation Award and a clutch of other impressive individual awards.
A total of 300 delegates attended the Conference from 18 schools from across the country, and the standard of debate was very high. Shrewsbury’s delegates were representing two countries – the USA and Bahrain.
Shrewsbury’s USA team were delighted to be named the Outstanding Delegation, and Ed Plaut (S UVI) won the most coveted individual award: Outstanding Delegate in the Security Council.
- Rhys Trevor (PH LVI) was named Outstanding Delegate in the Human Rights Committee
- Max Yale (S LVI) was Highly Commended in the Economic Committee
- Mark Pangin (SH IV) was Highly Commended in the Environment Committee
- Alec Barnes (PH LVI) was Highly Commended in the Human Rights Committee
- Sasha Arridge (Rb UVI) was Commended in the Human Rights Council (a small elite committee)
- Ed Donovan (R LVI) was Commended in the Political Committee
- Mill Luangamornlert (SH V) was Commended in the Future Committee.
This is a tremendous boost to the team as they prepare for two MUN Conferences during half term, in Paris and Oxford.
