Royal Russell School played a large part in helping Croydon High run their first MUN conference – lending them our flags and placards, and suppling half of the committee chairs.

A small exclusive group of Royal Russell Students representing Syria attended the SAIMUN conference in Dublin. Despite meeting in Gatwick at 7.00am they did not actually arrive in Dublin until 11.00pm – technical difficulties for Ryan Air – meaning they missed the important lobbying and merging.
