The Wingecarribee Shire Council chambers in Moss Vale came alive with diplomacy, debate, and global issues on Friday as 12 teams from local high schools gathered for the 2025 Southern Highlands Model United Nations Assembly (SH MUNA).
The May 8 meeting offered a chance to reflect and regroup on a busy year so far.
Finnish exchange student Hilma shared information about her home country and her experiences in Australia, highlighting cultural differences and personal growth. The club discussed ongoing projects, including the End Trachoma program and potential donations, while also planning future events and activities.
Three years of work and partnership comes to fruition at Moss Vale Public School as a new peace garden featuring a Rotary Peace Pole, a reflective area, outdoor instruments is unveiled. Our club contributed over $7000 to this project with other large contributions from the Rotary Club of Moss Vale and the Rotary Club of Bowral-Mittagong.
