Sixth Form in the House...of Commons!

On Monday 13th November, Johnny Mercer met with Plymouth Youth Parliament at a Parliamentary Reception, on the Terrace Pavilion for the launch of the ‘What About Me? A Child’s Right to Matter Report’. The report explores the views and needs of children and young people when parents separate. Plymouth Youth Parliament has fed into the report, providing the voices of young people in our City. Members of the city-wide youth forum gave a presentation to the audience in support of the launch.

Sir John Hunt Sixth Form was represented by our own Romana who was invited to the House of Commons to talk about children's rights in her role as Deputy Member of Plymouth Youth Parliament. Johnny Mercer stated: “It is always a great pleasure to meet with Plymouth Youth Parliament. There is a wealth of young talent in our City. They have an important contribution to make in our political conversations. Plymouth delegate Romana did superbly well delivering an important message on support for children of separated parents.”

We are all so immensely proud of Romana and the fantastic work that she has been doing in the community. Congratulations Romana – and thank you for supporting our amazing city.

Head of Sixth Form
