Hide AdMark, Aisling and Aaron went into Wallace on Tuesday to talk to pupils about the elections and careers in politics.
Each has been involved in local politics for a number of years and showed a wide depth of knowledge and political expertise for people so young.
What followed was a lively and enjoyable debate. The school wished all its former pupils and staff the best of luck.
