Rosie Visits College

Rosie Winterton MP (middle row, centre) recently spoke to students at Doncaster College.

The MP for Doncaster Central, Rosie Winterton, visited Doncaster College recently to talk to students.

Rosie spoke to students on the BTEC level 3 Subsidiary Diploma in Uniformed Public Services, which is designed to give students an understanding of areas such as the police, fire, prison and security services and students from the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sports Exercise and Science.

The MP of 15 years spoke about her experience of Government, currently she is in opposition and is chief whip for the Labour party, and then answered questions from inquisitive students on topics including how parliament works, the coalition government, the august riots and is Ed Miliband, leader of the Labour party and MP for Doncaster North, a good leader? The last subject provoking an interesting and lengthy debate.

This is the third year running that Rosie has addressed students and feedback has been enormously positive and extremely beneficial to students study.

Doncaster College runs Public Services courses from its Hub base on the town’s waterfront. Further details are available by calling 0800 358 7575 or by visiting http://www.don.ac.uk/courses/full-time_courses/full-time_courses_at_doncaster/public_services.aspx
