The 2024 edition of the Bond University High School Model United Nations (BUHMUN) conference at Bond University on Tuesday 7 May and Wednesday 8 May was attended by A.B. Paterson College’s delegation of 12 students. It was the eighth edition of BUHMUN and the sixth delegation that the College has sent students to for participation.
