(Bandar Seri Begawan, 17th) The 21st ISB Borneo Global Issues Conference (21st ISB BGIC) was successfully held from April 10th to 13th this year, themed on the seventh UN Sustainable Development Goal—'Affordable and Clean Energy'—and attracted over 300 teachers and students to participate.
This year's conference was attended by representatives from 23 schools in Brunei and one school from Japan. Brunei Chung Hwa Middle School also took an active part, sending 30 student representatives to the Model United Nations conference.
The opening ceremony was held at the International Convention Centre in Berakas and officiated by Princess Sarah of Brunei.
To deepen the event's theme, the organizer ISB invited two keynote speakers, Tim Jarvis (AM) and Ken O’Flaherty, who shared their insights on energy accessibility and clean transition topics.
On the first day, all school representatives gathered at ISB for lobbying sessions to revise draft resolutions. The following three days' agenda took place at the International Convention Centre, including resolution presentations, formal debates, voting, and the eventual selection of the best resolution.
Through participating in the entire process, students not only enhanced their public speaking and multilateral negotiation skills but also achieved significant growth in critical thinking and international perspective.
Among them, Brunei Chung Hwa Middle School representatives performed exceptionally well. Grade 11B student Hung Ji Sheng represented Trinidad and Tobago in the Economic and Social Committee I and won the 'Outstanding Delegate Award' for his excellent debating skills.
The BCC delegation was led by English Department Head Mr. Bao Zhenjie and Mr. Li Kuansheng. Through engaging in Model United Nations procedures, students deepened their understanding of the Sustainable Development Goals, mastered international conference rules and negotiation skills, and benefited greatly.
