Last weekend, our Year 9 to Upper Sixth pupils attended the 2-day MUN (Model United Nations) Conference in Cheadle Hulme, one of the biggest and most prestigious MUN schools’ conferences in the country. We sent 16 pupils, covering 3 delegations, representing Australia, DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) and Poland.
