P6-7 had a visit from Local Councillor Andrew Giusti on Friday. Mr Giusti came in to chat to pupils about his role as part of our Local Government and Elections topic. The pupils were well-prepared with lots of questions to ask! Pupils found out about the meetings he attends, issues that he deals with, how he carried out his election campaign, and what skills and qualities you need to be a councillor, such as being honest and respectful. There was one question however, that stumped Mr Giusti – what is the strangest thing you’ve ever been asked as a councillor? Although he could think of lots of answers, he said that none were suitable for the ears of P6-7 pupils!!! Huge thanks to Mr Giusti for taking the time to come in and share his experience with the pupils. We also have another visitor to look forward to – Mr Alex Ferguson will be coming in at the end of September to chat about his previous role as MSP.
