was a chance for them to meet other students, and I enjoyed meeting the students and teachers as well. They had many different backgrounds and different perspectives and came from a range of government and non-government schools.

I am sure it took a lot of effort for those students to prepare for the day, and I commend all those students as well as their teachers, and I am sure their parents and other members of their families, for the effort they put into it. I commend the opportunity to all members of the Assembly to come along and listen to the debates and talk with student debaters. It is important that we listen to young people and give them a voice. This platform is one way they can share that voice with all of us. They are the leaders of tomorrow and it is important that we listen to them today and give them every opportunity to influence the society they want to see in the future.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 4.44 pm.
