As this was the first time the 7 Regent’s Pattaya delegates had taken part in a MUN style conference, they were extremely nervous, not knowing if they would match up to the skills of seasoned debaters from other schools. All 7 student delegates held their own and contributed resolutions and debates to all of their committees.

Batya’s resolution was accepted after much debate - this was the product of a very late night’s research and drafting in the comfort of our Bangkok hotel! It was clearly well worth the effort!
Jisu Chae from Year 12 commented on the conference, “It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! I never thought it was possible to gain so much in just 3 days.”
Future debating conferences abound for any keen students. For details of these, contact Mrs. Travis-Mulford (Head of History). For those of you who cannot wait for these conferences, don’t forget to sign up for the Inter-House Debating competition, which is being run during lunchtimes from 2 – 6 April in the Round House.
