On Tuesday 16th October, our Pupil Parliament representatives, Klaudia and Jadon, visited SHARES headquarters to meet with other Pupil Parliament members from lots of other schools around Skelmersdale. They learnt all about what it it means to be a Member of Parliament and create a new Parliamentary Bill! A great afternoon was had by all! Well done Klaudia and Jadon!
