Civilizations team swept the awards at the Model United Nations held at the Aga Khan Higher Secondary School. Taha Usman of grade 10 won the Best Delegate award while Ahmed Salman, Dua Tanveer, and Zara Antaria of grade 10 won honourable mention.s Dua Tanveer of grade 10 won an honourable mention in the Pakistan Assemby committee, where she made a speech in a bilingual committee of 106 participants.
Twenty eight students from Civilizations participated in the event for the first time after preparing for several weeks under Seher Abbasi, an alumna of Civilizations and their coach for the event.
The competition featured renowned schools such as BVS Parsi School, St. Paul's, Agha Khan High School, Habib Public School and Bahria College. Despite their lack of experience, Civilization Public School students made a significant impact, earning recognition and praise from judges and participants alike. Their performance, however, came as no surprise to the students and their teachers, as Civilizations students develop considerable trilingual fluency in class and public speaking experience during years of participation in the school's inhouse speech competitions and theatrical programmes.
