20 Royal Russell School students will be attending the forty fourth annual THIMUN conference which will be held from 22nd – 27th January 2012 at the World Forum Convention Centre in The Hague.
16 of the Royal Russell students have the difficult task of representing the new Iraqi Government and a further four will be acting as delegates representing the UN refugee agency the UNHCR.
At the conference – along with over three thousand other International students – our students will be seeking, through discussion, negotiation and debate, solutions to the various problems of the world.
Mr Simon Keable-Elliott has been appointed the new Director of the Royal Russell MUN conference. Mr Keable-Elliott has been an Advisor to Royal Russell delegates for 14 years and has attended over fifty MUN conferences since he joined Royal Russell School in 1997.
The closing ceremonies for RRSMUN 2011 bought to an end another highly enjoyable and productive MUN conference. This is Mr Piggin’s last MUN conference as Director of the Royal Russell MUN conference and Mr O’Hehir from Rathdown School in Dublin made an excellent speech celebrating the 19 years he has run the conference. Charlotte Tomlinson as Secretary General and Kat Millward one of the Presidents of GA then handed out the awards and officially closed the conference.
