With absolutely no experience in the debating circuit 10 delegates from TNS’s MYP and DP programmes stepped up to partake in the highly competitive and demanding Model United Nations held each year at LGS 55 Main.

​

Representing Canada, these delegates deliberated for three days, slaving away their weekends and dedicating nearly 30 hours to making speeches, raising motions, negotiating with others and writing working papers of exemplary standards. Despite the short time given to the delegates, they were able to perform exceptionally well – especially for their premier MUN. The 9th to 12th graders each had a different committee, representing Canada at the Social Humanitarian Committee, the Security Council, the Crisis Committee, the World Council on Women, the League of Nations amongst many others.

​

An excellent experience that taught students the very basics of the MUN set-up, the LGS 55 MUN helped create the newly formed and energised debate society of TNS to take our school’s standing to unprecedented levels.

Students who participated in the MUN were Hasan Ahmad, Fateh Farid, Lyba Salman, Shayan Ali, Mustafa Mir, Faizan Kazim, Nijmeh Zaman, Mariam Gohar, Rameen Raza and Rayan Faisal.
