SIXTH FORMERS WELCOME MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT CHI ONWURAH TO SACRED HEART

Year 12 Politics students welcomed Newcastle Central Member of Parliament and Shadow Minister for Science, Research and Innovation Chi Onwurah to the school this month.

Students enjoyed a special Question and Answer lesson with Ms. Onwurah, with discussion ranging across a wide range of topics, including the future direction of the Labour Party; the constituency work of MPs; the potential growth of high skilled technology jobs in the region; the tumultuous recent years in British politics, and many other issues.

The students were extremely engaged and overwhelmingly enjoyed the opportunity to speak with a democratically elected politician, who has helped to give them a greater understanding of the subject they are studying.
