Model United Nations begins on Wednesday 8th September in the PBLT from 3:30-4:30pm
This activity is open to all students in Y9-13.
The sessions will mainly involve current affairs and MUN skills. They will also involve us laughing and/or shaking our heads at the actions and words of our World Leaders as we try to make sense of current events.
Only students who attend these sessions will be considered for the KGVMUN team to take part in the HKMUN. There will also be a KGVMUN Conference in late November.
Some recent comments by World Leaders/Politicians to make us laugh and/or shake our heads:
''We needed to have the press be our friend ... We wanted them to ask the questions we want to answer so that they report the news the way we want it to be reported.''
—Nevada Republican Senate nominee and Tea Party favourite Sharron Angle, during an interview with Fox News Channel's Carl Cameron, Aug. 2, 2010
''I hear comments sometimes that large oil companies are greedy companies or don't care, but that is not the case with BP. We care about the small people.''
—BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg, speaking to reporters in Washington, June 16, 2010
''Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate.''
—a Tweet by Sarah Palin, which she quickly removed after being ridiculed for inventing the word ''refudiate,'' July 18, 2010
''The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system.''
—Barack Obama, in remarks after a health care roundtable with physicians, nurses and health care providers, Washington, D.C., July 20, 2009
We look forward to seeing lots of students at the PBLT on Wednesday 8th September!
