Member for Robertson Gordon Reid and Education Minister Jason Clare with students from Kincumber Public School in Parliament House Canberra

Students from Kincumber Public School have visited Parliament House as part of an excursion to Canberra to learn about Australia’s system of government.

Students gained insight into how federal government works and the roles and responsibilities of members of parliament.

They were accompanied on a special visit by Member for Robertson Gordon Reid.

“It was awesome having students, teachers, and parents from Kincumber Public School visit Parliament House,” Reid said.

“The Education Minister Jason Clare also popped by to say a special hello, which the students really appreciated.

“Students are always amazed by the scale of Parliament House, and learning about the intricacies of the building, like how many clocks there are or how many people work in the building.

“They really enjoyed the Lego Parliament House installation too.

“It is such a privilege to represent our community in the Australian Parliament and meet with visiting schools in Canberra.

“I hope the students left with a deeper understanding of Australian democracy and government.”
