Assuming that is SectionId was a propertry of the page you were on you would know know to extract it ... here is soem razor that navigates back up the tree and find the first parent with the property sectionId

@foreach (var item in Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).Children.Where("Visible" )) {
    
      if(Model.IsDescendantOrSelf(item) )
      {
      if(item.sectionId.GetType() != typeof(DynamicNull))
         {
           @item.Name
          }                                                       

}

alternatively you could check for the prpoerty by using

if(item.HasProperty("sectionName")){
      @item.Id
     }
              

Opps on rereading your post I thing i may have misunderstood what you were gettting at ............ maybe this more what you are after

http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/razor/19040-Working-with-members-and-Razor

no worries it’s the way a write them, confusing!

Essentially all I need to know is how to pass a parameter into a macro and ensure the parameter the page id on the page that the macro is currently on...

do you simply mean

@Model.Id   where thsi returns the page Node Id of the current page ?

Not Sure why you want to pass the PageId or any other page property when you can read them directly from your razor script? 

Sorry Anthony, I am in fact using a user control and not a razor script, head is firmly up my arse!  All working the way i want to now.

Thanks for your input.

To read page properties direct in a usercontrol without passing you can do the following

using umbraco.BusinessLogic;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web;
using umbraco.NodeFactory ;

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           _nameLabel.Text = GetPropertyFromAlias("contactNameLabel");
        }

private static string GetPropertyFromAlias(string alias)
        {
            return Node.GetCurrent().GetProperty(alias) != null
                ? Node.GetCurrent().GetProperty(alias).Value
                : string.Empty;
        }

I am sure you get the idea from the snippets above
