They were two of a number of school leaders from across the Bathurst electorate who were in Sydney as part of the school leaders program.

“The school leaders program is a wonderful opportunity for our young students to both learn and experience the procedures and processes of democracy in NSW and to engage in civics and citizenship education,” Mr Toole said.

“Following their time at Parliament the students then visited Government House, so overall it was a day which gave each of them a wider perspective on leadership and the workings of government and a chance to meet the people who make Parliament work.”

Mr Toole said the students were the “leaders of tomorrow”.

“It was great to see their enthusiasm and to meet them on the day,” he said.

“As a part of their educational experiences I am sure each of them will remember this day.

“Every school should be extremely proud of their young ambassadors and the manner in which they represented not only themselves, but their school and their community.”
