Throughout the event, Sam will have the privilege to meet and discuss Constitutional reform with a range of expert speakers and members of Parliament. Sam will learn, collaborate and debate with students from other states and territories about the chosen statement for this year's convention, and at the conclusion of the week the decisions made by students regarding Australia's Constitution will become a part of the Parliamentary Communique and later forwarded to the President of the Senate, Senator Sue Lines. These decisions, will then be tabled in Parliament and recorded in Hansard.
