Shebbear
College On Saturday 15th March, 25 students from Shebbear College attended the annual Model United Nations Conference, held at Queen's Taunton. This conference was attended by over 250 students from 13 different schools. MUN simulates the real United Nations in terms of structure, organisation and discussion; it develops a huge range of skills and provides a real insight into the world of diplomacy and international politics.
This year we represented Syria (Emilio Alberti, Connor Roberts, Salah Gobara, Bronwyn Ager and Claudia Galland), Azerbaijan (Sean Clark, Maddie Burnard, Max Warren, Kitty Harding and Niamh Martin), Ireland (Phoebe Willis-Butcher, Struan Sharpe, Ella Thomas, Minnie Alexander, Hannah Fletcher) and Nigeria (Ailis Prowse, Ollie Rogerson, Victor Nitsch, Kerri-Ann Turton, Lucy Taylor and Nour Gobara). The day began with Taunton Deane's local MP, Jeremy Browne, talking to the students about the importance of having a viewpoint on politics today and how, in the future the students could make a difference to important decisions being made. All of the students showed a high level of skill in debating, thinking on their feet and also learning about how the United Nations is governed. In addition, all the delegates put a lot of effort into researching their countries and about current world issues that were debated in the General Assembly during the final part of the day. One particular issue up for discussion was the Ukraine crisis. A special mention should go out to student Emilio Aliberti, who won the prize of Commended Delegate, for his contribution to the political committee for Syria.
Sixth Form pupil, Sean Clark, spoke of the day: "The
Model United Nations is a great way for students to
learn about current world affairs from the point of
view of many different countries. Additionally, it
is very beneficial for each participant, as it teaches
them the skills they will need in later life. For
example, the art of debating and presenting clauses
to crowds reaching over one hundred people, which
some delegates such as Nour Gobara and Emilio Alberti
did this year". Some exciting news about policing in Torrington! On the 20th January 2014 two additional officers, Acting Sgt Mick Kearney and PC Adam Williams, started working from Torrington and they are dedicated to the Torrington area in addition to the two officers we already have - PC Mark Simmons and PC Kerry Wilson.
This will mean that Torrington and its
rural areas will have 3 PCSOs and 4 PC's
allowing us to be more proactive, provide
a quicker response and have better coverage
24/7. We also have another officer joining
the team later in the Spring. While
all of the officers will be tasked to
serve everyone in the community each officer
will have responsibility for specific
parishes and we will let you know who
your local point of contact will be when
all officers are in place. |
