Natalie Bennett Delivers A Speech To Newham Collegiate Sixth Form Centre (The NCS) As Part Of Our Lecture Programme

Natalie Bennett Speaks To Newham Collegiate Sixth Form Center (The NCS) Politics Students – In Video

On Friday 21st November The NCS welcomed Natalie Bennett, Leader of the Green Party. During her visit she spoke to our Politics students about her career path, the party she leads and encouraged our students to be the change that they want to be, regardless of their political stand point, ending her speech:

“Politics is more than voting. Politics can be signing a petition, sharing with your friends, setting up a group to campaign for your local community. Politics should be something that you do, that everybody does. Not something that’s done to you.”

Following a student summarisation, Ms Bennett took questions from our student body on subjects ranging from the state of politics in our country to career advice. This visit gave our students a rare insight into the way our country operates from a party leader; in turn aiding studies and providing inspiration for our future leaders.

Ms Bennett thanked students for being an engaged audience and for providing some great questions after her talk. She later took to Twitter to claim it was the ‘best such session I’ve ever done’ – high praise for our students indeed!
