Meeting our new MP and Stevenage Youth Mayor

Pupil Parliament were lucky enough to have a visit from our Stevenage MP, Kevin Bonavia and our Youth Mayor, Lahaina Sutherland. Kevin spoke to us about the workings of parliament, the importance of democracy, in particularly, youth democracy and then his day to day job. At the end, he asked us some of our concerns for new policies and wrote them down to take to the next stage. We hope to meet him again soon!

Our first meeting of the new academic year!
We had a great time getting to know each other and our hopes for the coming school year. Miss Carroll and Mr Gray were able to announce some events that we have booked in for the pupils. First up this year we have a ‘Lesson with a Lord’ on Friday 20th October where the Pupil Parliament group will have the opportunity to get to know a bit more about the workings of parliament and hopefully have the opportunity to ask some questions.

We look forward to sharing more over our next few meetings
