On Saturday the NIST MUN club attended the 13th Bangkok MUN Conference hosted by RIS. This event marks the end of the MUN calendar for the club and it was the third conference that the school has participated in this year. Since meeting for the first time in mid August over 100 students have participated in the club over the three seasons and in terms of numbers, the quality of debate and the student leadership displayed, this was the best year in the history of the club.
In October the school hosted the largest MUN Conference ever held in Bangkok and in November we sent a strong team of 10 students to Taipei for the annual IASIS conference where only the leading international schools in Asia are represented.
At RIS we had a delegation of 42 students and it was a very professional and well prepared groups. Special recognition goes to four of students who took on the role of Chairs, these were Aim, Joey, Steffi and Sagnik. In addition, NIST had the largest number of Resolutions debated and a number of these were passed by their respective committees.
So overall, in terms of the quality of our delegates, the quality and quantity of their debate and resolutions and the number and performance of our Chairs this really was an excellent indicator of the strength of the MUN programme at NIST and a great way to end our calendar.
Well done, and thanks to all those who represented the school so professionally over the course of this year.
