In normal circumstances, the school councillors would have the opportunity to visit Stormont in Belfast for a tour and to gain insight into the work that goes on in Assembly Buildings. While this is not possible at the moment, we have been able to avail of a ‘virtual’ experience, where we had the chance to find out about aspects of how the government in Northern Ireland functions.
Anne-Marie Fleming, educational officer at Stormont, met with our councillors on Thursday 16th December to present a comprehensive look at the various council areas in Northern Ireland, who our MLAs are, and the work involved in the running of the Executive. There was also time for questions from our school council representatives.
