The students from Denbigh, Putteridge and Challney Boys High Schools, were set a task to demonstrate the learning following their visit to the Hat District and were asked to prepare and deliver presentations.

The theme of which, whilst reflecting on the past but looking to the future, was about what would make a good Luton citizen.

There were 5 presentations which were made in the Council Chamber on the 3rd May, 2023.

Following, the presentations, Cllr Khan lead the students and teachers on a guided tour of the Council Committee rooms and the Mayor’s parlour where the students signed the visitors book.
