Darren Chester warmly welcomed at Marlo Primary, presents new flags and engages with students
Federal MP Darren Chester received a warm welcome at Marlo Primary School, presented new flags, engaged with students, and discussed his parliamentary role and community support efforts.
Federal Member for Gippsland enjoyed a memorable welcome on his visit to Marlo Primary School, with students specially preparing two songs to perform for the local MP upon his arrival. "I received a great reception from the students and, in return, came prepared with a presentation of my own. Luckily for the ears of the Marlo PS students and teachers, it wasn't a song. I presented three new flags to replace the school's old flags, which had seen better days." Mr Chester said.

I always enjoy speaking with local students and helping them understand what their local Member of Parliament does and how I am working to support the community."
