As part of Law Week 2025, the Year 12 Legal Studies students were kindly hosted by the Legal Services Commission of South Australia and attended Parliament House. Our guide, Shannon provided an overview of the detailed lawmaking process in both the lower and upper houses explaining the history behind the colours in the chambers and the formalities inherited from the British Westminster System. Grace Leonello and Anyieth Briar were given fake swords to illustrate the age-old practice of separating opposing political parties as debate could get very heated. In 1642, Charles I famously entered the House of Commons with an armed guard which caused an uproar, and he was later beheaded due to disputes between royalists and parliamentarians. The distance between parties is now indicated by a red stripe in the carpet around the chamber which members of Parliament still very rarely cross! Students in the photo are: Fatima Ahmadi, Anyieth Biar, Ravid Chhoeut, Danyela Emmanuel, Lillian John, Angelica Kenyon, Grace Leonello, Hiep Nguyen, Nicholas Nguyen and Angelo Tanudtanud.
