An intrepid group of Junior Mentors from Parklands High School in Wythenshawe started their day at 5 a.m. on Wednesday 29th April to travel to Westminster to visit the Houses of Parliament and meet with their local M.P. Paul Goggins. This followed on from a successful project they had completed earlier when, with support from their own student mentors, they each prepared for and presented a briefing to their own "Prime Minister" on issues they were interested in. A tour of the Palace of Westminster was followed by the meeting with Mr Goggins, fresh from attending the real Prime Minister's Question Time. The group asked a number of perceptive questions which Mr Goggins answered fully and frankly, which greatly impressed the group. For all concerned especially for those who were visiting London for the first time it was an interesting visit and helped the Junior mentors to understand the role of politicians in the local and National Community. Mr Goggins promised to support the Junior mentors as much as he could. Verdict? A "safe guy!" Thinking about becoming a mentor?
