On December 8, 2007 Ms Tonye and Ms Rachel will be escorting 4 students to Geneva for the Student League of Nations conference. The difficult elimination process, where 23 students competed for a place to this prestigious event, involved giving speeches to a panel on a specific country they had researched. The final four displayed confidence in their delivery, excellent research skills and an ability to respond to difficult questions. Hatem Sadek (11W) and Huwaynaa Al-Yahyai (11B) will represent the country of Tuvalu, while Arafa Al Mughairy (11B) and Khulood Al-Zadjali (12R) will speak on behalf of Lithuania.
This will be the 14th General Assembly of the Student League of Nations in Geneva. Students will be debating four resolutions, in the style of the United Nations, covering terrorism, illegal arms trade, nuclear weapons and oil prices.
