More than 30 high school student leaders from Campbelltown joined State MP Greg Warren for a visit to State Parliament yesterday.
Students and staff from Ambarvale High School, Campbelltown Performing Arts High School, Leumeah High School, St Gregory’s College, St Patrick’s College and Broughton Anglican College joined Mr Warren for a tour of Parliament House.
The students visited both chambers of Parliament, the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council, and learned about the process by which laws are created in Australia’s oldest parliament.
After the tour, Mr Warren presented each student with a certificate congratulating them on their appointment as a student leader for the 2016 school year.
“It’s fantastic to have such a strong group of student leaders from Campbelltown who are passionate advocates for young people,’’ Mr Warren said.
“And that applies both in their school community or the broader Campbelltown community.
“The NSW Parliament is the oldest parliament in Australia, and it’s great to see the leaders of tomorrow learning about its rich history and traditions.
“These students regularly go above and beyond what is required of them in advocating for their peers, and this recognition is just a small way of saying thanks.”
