Gippsland Grammar's Political Forum

Our "Prefect body" can be congratulated for organising  Wednesday's lunchtime  political forum.  Held in the Lecture Theatre, guest speakers  the Hon. Darren Chester, Member for Gippsland and Scot Campbell Smith, the Greens candidate for Gippsland at the 2013 Federal election spoke to a packed audience that included senior students from Sale Catholic College and Sale College. The topic of the forum centred around the ramifications of  The 2014 Federal Budget's proposed changes to Higher Education. The speakers had been given the opportunity to prepare for the event as Darren and Scot had prior knowledge of  all questions that had been written by our prefects. It was a very successful event, helped to shed light on the issue and gave our students the opportunity to air their concerns.
