Model United Nations
St Laurence is one of only a handful of state-sector schools in the country to take part in Model United Nations. The school's inaugural MUN conference was held in November 2007, and was attended by delegates from state and private schools across the south west of England. The MUN conference is now a routinely run conference, hosting up to 150 students, over two days of debating. It is deemed as a conference of learning how the MUN debating system works, and thus does not hand out prizes (best delegate etc.). It is highly regarded as a fun, but serious conference but the schools who attend.
