Year 6 students from Niagara Park Public School recently visited Parliament House in Canberra as part of their studies into Australia’s system of government.
Teachers and students were provided with an informative tour as well as an opportunity to meet with their Federal Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid.
“It was a fantastic highlight to be able to welcome teachers and students from Niagara Park Public School to Parliament House,” Reid said.
“Seeing the students captivated by the building and all the work that takes place in it is a real pleasure.
“Students asked some tremendous questions about my work in Parliament House and how I help to develop and pass laws.
“There were some great questions about my work as an honorary medical officer at Wyong Hospital emergency department too, and it was terrific to be able to talk about the importance of our healthcare workers on the Central Coast.
“Thank you to all the students and teachers for visiting and making the experience fun and engaging.”
