Year 6 - Exploring the World of Politics

?️Exploring the World of Politics: Our Unforgettable Virtual Trip to NSW State Parliament! ?️

We wanted to share how utterly awesome our Year 6 class's virtual visit to the NSW State Parliament was! ?? We took part in the "Visit us at our house" program, and let me tell you, it was a journey of discovery like no other.

The highlight of the visit? Meeting the incredible Sergeant at Arms! ? He walked us through the fascinating world of the bicameral system of government, which lies at the very heart of how our state operates. Can you believe we have two separate chambers – the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council – working together to make decisions that shape our state's future? ?️?
And let's not forget the jaw-dropping historical facts that paved the way for our current state government structure. ? The Sergeant at Arms didn't hold back on sharing some truly gruesome stories that led to the evolution of our system. Who knew history could be so thrilling? ?

We couldn't be prouder of our Year 6 students for engaging with enthusiasm and asking some seriously thought-provoking questions. Learning about how our government functions and the stories behind its evolution is a crucial step towards becoming responsible citizens who understand the impact of our choices on society.

A huge shout out to the NSW State Parliament for giving us this incredible opportunity, and to our students for being such curious and engaged learners. ? Let's keep that passion for learning alive and continue to explore the world around us!

Stay curious, stay inspired, and remember: the future of our state is in your hands! ??
