The Year 12 Politics & Law class recently enhanced their studies through a visit to the Western Australian State Parliament. The visit was hosted by Sabine Winton MLA, the member for Wanneroo, who toured us around the building and gave us a fascinating first-hand insight into the Parliament’s operations and the work that our representatives do from day to day. Highlights included the many significant artworks, visiting both chambers of the Parliament and the Parliamentary library. We were privileged to be in the public gallery on the special occasion of the Parliament moving a motion of condolence for Queen Elizabeth II and a motion congratulating King Charles III. The students had the opportunity to sign the condolence book for Her Majesty. The students met numerous members of the Parliament, including the member for Joondalup, Emily Hamilton MLA and enjoyed a delicious lunch in the Parliamentary dining room. The excursion was a great way to bring together many of the topics we have covered in class and we are very grateful for the opportunity.
