The pupils were given a tour of the Parliament building before engaging in a question and answer session with the local MSP.
The discussion covered a broad range of subjects, with the MSP fielding questions from the pupils on everything from the life of a MSP to current political issues.
Commenting afterwards, Mr Stevenson said
“It is terrific to see these young people taking such an active interest in the political system which surrounds us, and I’d like to thank the teachers and pupils of Whitehills School for visiting.
“I would highly recommend any parents or teachers who would like to bring a school group to visit the Parliament get in touch to see how they can get involved.”
