Term 2, 2025 saw two talented teams from St Mary’s proudly take part in the North Sydney Model United Nations Assembly.
- Team USA – Daniel Andrews, Michael Donnellan, and Evan Zafiropoulos
- Team Bharat (India) – Matthew Davies, Jamie Naffah, and Xavier Smith
Our delegates tackled pressing global issues including climate change, tariffs, refugee policy, the Antarctic Treaty, space debris, and even McDonald’s as a global food source! Representing their assigned nations, both teams demonstrated exceptional diplomacy, research, and public speaking skills. Both delegations were highly praised by judges, peers, and the audience alike.
- Team USA took home the prize for Best Dressed
- Team Bharat were crowned Overall Champions and will now advance to the Australian Final in Canberra later this year
We interviewed our UN teams HERE to provide you with an overview of the Model UN competition, topics and issues raised and discussed.
