This afternoon, Andrew Giusti popped by to share some experiences of his job as a councillor. He explained his reasons for becoming involved in politics and talked about the importance of being able to listen to others, be respectful and tolerant of the opinions of others and the importance of being able to express your views clearly and sensibly.<\/p>\n

The pupils asked lots of very sensible questions and this has really added to their understanding of what goes on in the world around them. Alex Fergusson (former MSP) is coming into visit later on in the term too.<\/p>\n
