Brisbania Public School students in year six have visited Parliament House on Wednesday May 15.

Students, teachers, and parents were specially welcomed by Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP.

As part of students’ studies, they learn about Australia’s three levels of government, and participate in an excursion to Canberra to gain a deeper understanding.

Quotes attributable to Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP:

“It was a pleasure to welcome Brisbania Public School to Parliament House in our capital city, Canberra.

“Students were able to gain a greater appreciation of Australia’s three levels of government, particularly the federal government in Canberra.

“I remember back to my own year six excursion to Canberra fondly, and how impactful it was for me – I think it was the beginning of my interest in politics which led me to eventually run for office.

“When I see the young faces of students from the Central Coast, who visit me, I often think which one of these faces might just be the next Federal Member for Robertson.

“I hope the rest of Brisbania Public School’s visit to Canberra was interesting, informative, and exciting”, Dr Reid said.
