Hanova excels at CISSMUN Shanghai

Dear Parents and friends

Hanova Excels at CISSMUN Shanghai written by Ms Jane Lei. From January 16th to 18th, 10 of our MYP Year 10-11 students participated in the highly regarded Concordia International School Shanghai Model UN conference (CISSMUN). This premier event attracts top young minds from across Asia and beyond, with nearly 800 delegates representing 47 schools from China, Japan, Tunisia, Spain, and more. 

After intense preparation, our delegates excelled. We are especially proud that for five of our Year 10 students, this was their very first MUN experience. A particular highlight was Year 11’s Song Ziyi (Martin), who was appointed Deputy President of the World Health Assembly. He skillfully led three days of debate and drafted the committee's report on international cooperation for vaccine-preventable diseases.

The true success, however, was visible in every student’s growth. We witnessed first-timers confidently delivering speeches and saw our veterans mentor younger teammates. And, even beyond formal debate, Gong Tsz Luk (Cris) was recognized in the conference magazine as one of the most fashionable delegates! 

The trip also provided rich cultural exchange. Students explored Shanghai, including the Oriental Pearl Tower, and shared new foods and experiences, forging friendships and memories. This journey showcased our students' poise, critical thinking, and diplomatic spirit, proving they are ready to engage with the world's challenges.

We congratulate the entire delegation on representing Hanova with such distinction.

About our School Principal


Dr Lucas J. Roberts

School Principal

Dr Lucas J. Roberts is the current School Principal at Hanova. He thoroughly enjoys being part of the Hanova Hawks community! Having served in international school education in China for over 15 years in Wuxi, Shanghai, Suzhou, and Beijing, being in Xi’an with his family to lead Hanova is indeed a joy and a privilege. “Mr. Luke,” as students call him, has served in numerous leadership capacities over the years, including Head of Primary, Head of Secondary, and School Principal/Head of School. Since 2014, he has served on nearly 20 WASC accreditation visiting committees around Asia to support other schools’ ongoing school improvement efforts, giving him substantial perspective on the international school world. Earning a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies helped spark Dr. Roberts’ belief that learning, rather than being isolated, should help students see patterns and connections across subjects with an emphasis on life skills and application. In other words, what we DO with knowledge is just as important as having knowledge, much in line with the IB Learner Profile and Hanova’s mission to develop responsible, wise, lifelong learners. Dr. Roberts earned an M.Ed. in Educational Administration and a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Educational Leadership, and he is a researcher, author, and conference speaker on a range of topics in education.
