Counsellors

What is the Role of a Counsellor?

An important aspect of nominating a MUNA team is the identification of an adult Counsellor, who is expected to be the prime support person to the team, both with advice and supervision when MUNA proceedings are not 'in session'. Thus, a Counsellor will be expected to ensure that the participating students act responsibly over the course of the event (17, 18 and 19 August) and adhere to the high standards of behaviour that are expected from those representing their school and/or Rotary Club/District.

The counsellor MUST be an adult - he/she cannot be the third student.

What are the obligations of a Counsellor?

Counsellors MUST:

• Be available in case of emergency over the weekend (we ask for a phone number, preferably mobile, at which we can be sure to contact you)
• Attend the formal dinner on Saturday 18 August (cost included in the team package).

(N.B. All meals for counsellors from Friday evening to Sunday morning are covered in the team package ).

Counsellors are ENCOURAGED to attend the MUNA debating sessions on Saturday and Sunday.
