9MCG and 9CL Social Studies classes were very lucky to have a visit from current Labour MP and ex-OGHS student Rachel Brooking. It was great timing with students in Year 9 currently learning about the Government, creating laws and making their own political parties and policies.

Rachel talked about different aspects of Government, what her role as an MP involves, what a typical week of an MP looks like, MMP, what subjects and extracurricular activities are beneficial for a career in politics and of course, told us what Jacinda Ardern was like in real life!

We also learnt how important your social media presence is and to be careful about what you put on your social media accounts!

Thanks so much to Rachel for making the time in her busy schedule to come and see us. How wonderful to see another amazing ex-girl doing great things!
