Mark Griffin invites Kilsyth pupils to Holyrood.
Pupils from St Patrick’s Primary School in
Kilsyth had their first taste of democracy last Thursday when they joined Mark
Griffin MSP in the Scottish Parliament.
Mark arranged for the Primary 7 pupils to have a guided tour of the Parliament
to learn about the building and the history of democracy in Scotland. Pupils also
had the opportunity to have lunch and ask Mark questions about his role as an
MSP in Holyrood and in the local community.
Mark said:
“It was great to see pupils from Saint Patrick’s in the Scottish Parliament. It is vitally important that we encourage young people to learn about how our democratic system works.
“I hope that their visit was worthwhile and enjoyable and that it will
encourage the pupils to keep learning and use their vote as soon as they can.”
