It is my absolute honour to welcome you to the 12th edition of St Joseph's Boys' High School MUN. Having been a part of the conference for the first time in 2016, being given the privilege of welcoming you feels like full circle. It is with great pride that I reflect on how this event has evolved over the years, successfully holding true to the principles along which the event has been established.
Since its inception, this event has been more than just a highlight on our calendar; it is a recognition of the pressing issues we face as citizens. We believe in shouldering some of that burden by fostering a culture centred around the ability to find resolution amidst chaos. From its humble beginnings, it has grown into a vibrant celebration of our values and aspirations. Each edition has built upon the last, and the 12th promises to be no different, with an exciting array of committees and engaging streams of discourse.
In keeping with our commitment to the core tenets of respect, diplomacy, and pragmatic negotiation, this event continues to embody these principles in every aspect. We strive to foster an environment where diverse perspectives are valued, constructive dialogue is encouraged, and solutions are sought through collaborative efforts. These guiding principles ensure that our event remains not only a celebration of success but also a platform for meaningful interaction and growth. I hope we are able to do justice to the history of SJBHSMUN by taking its core principles forward.
