Chairo Christian School
Huge thumbs up to the staff and students at Chairo Christian School in Traralgon, where grade five and six students hosted my recent visit. The students had been learning about the history of Australian politics and I was able to give them some extra insight into the topic, and talk about life in parliament, along with answering any questions. I was extremely impressed with the level of detail in the students' questions and answers to some of my own questions!

Also, huge thanks to the staff and students at Tambo Upper Primary School who made me so welcome during a visit to discuss all things Federal Parliament. Plenty of terrific questions and discussion about the different levels of government and how we fix things in our community. Even a couple of autograph requests, talk about a B grade celebrity! Thanks guys and all the best for the rest of the school year.
