Happy to have met Kirsteen Sullivan MP with Catriona Daw MSYP/MYP to discuss the work of the Scottish Youth Parliament and our campaign goals. We discussed how to increase youth participation, end gender-based violence, and address climate change within our communities.

Thank you to Declan McGavin MSYP and Catriona Daw MSYP/MYP for meeting with me this evening. A fantastic conversation around shared priorities and our commitment to ensuring young people’s voices are heard in the policy making process.

Some pretty good views on children’s rights from children themselves after the UNCRC was incorporated into Scots law this Summer! More on Representing Border tonight.

Unfortunately, no decision will be made today about the school hour cuts. Falkirk Council has delayed the decision until December. In the meantime, please complete this consultation and share your views on this proposal. forms.office.com/e/RxLSfUHsDK

Had a brilliant day at #SYP82. We discussed so many great motions and then had a very interesting debate in the Education Committee!

Thank you to our House Captains Holly and Morgan for representing St Mungo's at the Bainsford Service of Remembrance this morning. St Mungo's was very well represented by our former pupils also.

It was an honour to lay a wreath on behalf of young people across Falkirk at the Falkirk and Bainsford war memorials. Lest we forget.

This is a deeply unpopular proposal and will put Falkirk’s pupils at a disadvantage. Education is an investment in Scotland’s future, not a target for cost-cutting exercises.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking with Stephen Kerr MSP to discuss Falkirk Council’s proposal to cut school hours. It was a very interesting conversation and emphasised the importance of protecting Scotland’s education.

Today, I had the opportunity to meet Cllr. Iain Sinclair to discuss the Learning Week proposal and the alternative education cuts. I’m grateful for his invitation to discuss this issue, and I found it valuable to have an open and constructive conversation on Falkirk’s situation.

Meet my newest project! Starting on Wednesday, I'm launching a short term rewards scheme for S1-3 at Larbert High to encourage young people to travel more sustainably as helping the environment is one of the priorities I was elected on.
