Connor campaigned to be a Young Member of Parliament and won! He created a manifesto on young people's mental health and delivered his speech to Hendon Town Hall in front of Barnet councillors and other candidates. The whole school supported Connor in his campaign, voting for him with unique voting codes to mimic procedures in a public election. He will fulfil the role for the next two years, developing his experience and knowledge of the political landscape. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #fchslondon #finchley #catholic #school #election #parliament #youth #education #voting #congratulations #hendon #barnet @barnetyouth_
