MPs offer wisdom to student leaders

CREATING an opportunity to discuss politics, community development and career pathways, State MP for Canterbury, Sophie Cotsis, welcomed school leaders to her Canterbury electorate office for a meet and greet with Legislative Assembly Speaker Jonathan O’Dea (pictured).

Addressing representatives from Canterbury Girls, Canterbury Boys, Belmore Boys and Kingsgrove North high schools, both MPs discussed their journey becoming a local member and spoke about the challenges faced in Parliament.
Ms Cotsis said the students asked in-depth and insightful questions.
“Our schools obviously have an abundance of talent,” she said.
“So many young people in our community have potential to one day become leaders of our nation and I was very proud to see them wearing their uniforms with such pride.“
