Federal Member for Robertson Gordon Reid has been out and about visiting schools in the region to outline his educational background and give insights into the workings of Parliament.
Recent school visits included Kincumber High School and Our Lady Star of the Sea at Terrigal.
At Kincumber High, Reid gave a whole-of-school assembly some background and insight into his own education.
At Our Lady Star of the Sea, he gave Year 5 and 6 students a civics lesson ahead of their excursion to Canberra to learn about Australia’s levels of government.
Reid said school visits were one of the many highlights of being a Member of Parliament.
“It is always a joy to visit local schools and speak with our younger generations about my education background and also about Australia’s levels of government,” he said.
“I was impressed by the students’ knowledge of government and how each level has responsibility for different areas in the community.
“The students have been paying good attention in class and that was evident in their understanding.
“They were able to ask questions and pretend to be journalists at a news conference.
“It was quite nice to share a little bit about who I am, where I grew up, and importantly, what NRL team I support (The Rabbitohs).”
Schools wanting to organise a visit by Reid to discuss government in Australia should call 4322 2400 or email Gordon.Reid.MP@aph.gov.au to arrange.
