Model United Nations
On Wednesday 16th February, a delegation of 19 pu-
pils from JPGS travelled to KAUST to take part in the
first in-person MUN Conference in two years. Pupils
from Y10 to Y13 travelled to KAUST, armed with the
depth of their research and knowledge representing
countries ranging from Finland to the Democratic Re-
public of Congo, and Cambodia to Russia (controver-
sial, much?).
Pupils debated and strategized over the course of
three days with a number of other delegates from
schools across the Kingdom, including Saudi Aramco
Expatriates Schools Dhahran and Udhailiya, the Brit-
ish School Dhahran, American International School
Riyadh and the British International School Riyadh.
It was an excellent conference with out very own Ah-
mad Awais and Ayat Rana receiving honourable men-
tions as part of the UN Security Council; Bessma Ab-
duljawad being awarded Distinguished Delegate for
the UNHCR and Amna Saqlain being awarded Best
Delegate for the UNHCR.
Mr Chowdhury would like to thank all of the dele-
gates for their fantastic work, as well as Ms C Windle,
Mr D Matthews and Ms F Jabeen for taking the time to
accompany the pupils during the Conference.
