Tanzania 2013
Following 10 days in East Africa, Students from Grade 11 survive to tell the tale. It was hard work,
it was hot - but most of all it was an emotional rollercoater. A hard fought game of football on the
Maasai Mara, a visit to see one of the last tribes of hunter gatherers and a drive through the spectacular
Ngorongoro crater. However, this was only the prelude to the main event - 4 days at a small primary school in
the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania. Read the whole story here.
Outstanding university application results
To date, three students have recently been offered places at highly competitive universities in the US, for entry in 2013.
Yale University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Hamilton College have each accepted Early Decision applicants from
Southbank. Graham Lacey, the Executive Principal comments: "These are outstanding results, at a time when the competition
from across the world for places at top US universities has never been greater. I would like to congratulate these students,
as well as those receiving offers for places on highly competitive courses at top universities from other countries, including the UK.
I would also like to thank the staff for the contribution they made to such success - which provides further confirmation of the
school's commitment to high academic standards."
Paris Model United Nations (MUN)
Southbank International School Model United Nations Club has recently returned from a highly successful Paris Model United Nations Conference (PAMUN). Sixteen students from grade eleven had the opportunity to practise their debating skills in the fabulous UNESCO building in Paris,in the same surroundings where Ban Ki Moon, the current UN Secretary General, would discuss similar issues. The students from Southbank had the opportunity to represent the delegations of Bhutan, DPR Korea and Peru, and to sit in committees to debate issues such as disarmament, HIV and human rights.
Southbank received further success at the conference this year through Caroline and Darius. Caroline had the privilege to Chair the highly competitive and prestigious ECOSOC, a small selective committee that debates economic and social issues. Darius was selected as a judge in PAMUN's first ever International Court of Justice (ICJ), where he was able to cross exam witnesses in a land dispute case between Botswana and Namibia.
Overall, the trip was a great success for all the students involved. As a club we look ahead in anticipation to The Hague Model United Nations Conference in January, where we hope for the same success. But for now, honourable Southbank Community, the floor is yielded!
