Mrs Devine had this to say about the Model United Nations conference that Channing pupils took part in recently.

Congratulations to the 15 students in Years 10 to 12, who took part in St Paul's School's Model United Nations conference. The students represented North Korea, Italy and the Netherlands, and they spent the day discussing resolutions that included the legality of private military companies, the international treatment of North Korea and corruption in international sport.

We were delighted that Phoenix M in Year 11 was awarded best delegate in the Special Political & Decolonisation Committee committee, representing North Korea. Well done also to Carlotta B-P in Year 10, whose resolution from the Netherlands on French Economic Practices in West Africa was put forward to be debated by the whole of the Economics committee. For many of the Channing students who took part in this MUN conference it was their first experience of debating, and they were superb!
