MUNA is an annual, two-day weekend event that is part of an International Rotary project to educate senior high school students (years 10 - 12) on the United Nations organisation and its vital commitment to world peace, in addition to health, education and living standards around the world. The event provides an excellent forum for students to develop and practice their public speaking skills whilst debating on topical world issues.

On May 28 and 29 four students, Geordie Brown, Caitlin Kemp, Amelia Dadd and Samual Kemp travelled to Kempsey to compete in the Mock United Nations Assembly (MUNA).
MUNA requires teams of two to take on a country and act and dress as the delegates for that particular nation in the assembly.
In the assembly both teams debated current world issues among 32 other countries, while creating alliances through the use of bribes.
After each debate all delegates voted on their opinions and either passed or denied each motion.
Both teams had great successes in their debates, with Geordie and Samual winning the delegates choice for most outstanding.
Many thanks to both Mr and Mrs O'Brien for giving up their time to travel to Kempsey and giving the students this incredible experience.
A special thank you is also extended to The Rotary Club of Tamworth Sunrise for sponsoring both teams and making this opportunity a possibility
