Last weekend saw another successful conference for Royal Russell MUN delegates with twenty two pupils attending Haileybury College’s 25th annual conference. The cold and windy weather didn’t put our pupils off when getting fully immersed into lobbying and debate and it certainly didn’t put any off attending the beach themed disco! We left the conference with…
Fourteen pupils descended on City of London School for their annual model UN conference on Saturday. After a short period of lobbying, the opening ceremonies commenced, including a very interesting key note speech, given by Gadi Zohar, the former military service head of civil administration in Gaza, and a member of the Israeli negotiation contingent…
Royal Russell students have enjoyed another very successful THIMUN Conference. Diana, Seonni and Jordan remained busy in the press team helping to produce five impressive editions of MUNITY. Maria has proved herself to be an exceptional President of the ICJ and Georgia chaired very well in her committee. All our delegates, representing Venezuela, have spoken…
Royal Russell School students have made a great start to the 48th Hague MUN Conference. Maria, as President of the ICJ, is running the court with her usual calm and authoritative approach. Georgia, as Assistant President of Disarmament One, has already chaired one debate, setting a high standard for others to follow. Bart and Callum,…
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.

30 Year 6, 7 and 8 students have been attending MiniMUN regularly on Wednesday nights. The debates have been chaired by Senior school students under the excellent leadership of Aisha.

6 Royal Russell students – including Michelle, Maria, Georgia and Elysia – attended the Christ’s Hospital Security Council conference last weekend. All six spoke many times in their councils putting forward amendments and playing a full role in the debates. Particularly impressive were Bart and Callum who represented the UNHCR and deservedly won one of…
On the 26th September, whilst pupils and staff were busy with Open Morning, eight pupils went to Reigate Grammar to take part in the first MUN conference of the season. Experienced MUNers Rita and Khadijah were invited to chair committees and they carried this off with great success, showing not only detailed understanding of procedure…
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. From then on the delegates were playing catch up….
