Students and teachers from Selwyn College were welcomed to the National Parliament of Solomon Islands during an educational visit to Parliament House on Wednesday, 20 May 2026.
A statement from Parliament said the group travelled from North West Guadalcanal to Honiara, covering approximately 48.2 kilometres to take part in a learning experience that aims to increase students’ understanding of parliamentary democracy and governance.
During the visit, students learned about the important role Parliament plays as the country’s supreme law-making institution.
Officials from various parliamentary departments delivered presentations explaining their functions and responsibilities within the parliamentary system.
The visit also gave students the opportunity to engage directly with parliamentary officials through an interactive question-and-answer session.
The session allowed students to gain firsthand insight into how Parliament operates and the importance of civic participation, leadership, and national governance.
The National Parliament said educational visits such as these are important in strengthening connections with communities and promoting civic education among young Solomon Islanders.
Through the program, Parliament hopes to inspire future leaders to take an active interest in democracy, governance, and national development.
