Year 10 Law in Australia

Jaensch_Grace.jpg

On Friday of Week 6, our Year 10 Law in Australia students visited Government House and Parliament House to learn more about how South Australian politics works. At Government House, the students had the opportunity to meet Ron Bunten, the husband of Her Excellency The Honourable Frances Adamson AC, the Governor of South Australia. He spoke to the students about the importance of understanding how government works, encouraging them to stand up for what they believe in and make their voices heard.

The students were then guided through Parliament House by our local MP, John Fulbrook, who explained how laws are made in South Australia. They explored both the House of Assembly and the Legislative Council and even took part in a role-play debate in the House of Assembly, experiencing firsthand how politicians discuss and vote on new laws.

This excursion was a fantastic opportunity for students to build on their classroom learning and gain a deeper understanding of how laws are created in our state.
