Salisbury Elections
It’s exciting that the school council elections at Salisbury Primary are coming up right before International Day of Democracy on 15th September! This gives the students a great chance to experience democracy in action. They’ll get to vote for their school council representatives, who play an important role by listening to their classmates’ ideas and concerns and sharing them with the council. It’s about being fair and treating everyone equally.
As part of getting ready for the elections, the pupils are creating speeches to convince their peers why they’d make great representatives. They’ll share these speeches with their class before voting for two candidates to represent the class. This not only helps the students build confidence but also encourages them to speak up and participate actively in their community. It’s such a fantastic way to promote democratic values and get our students engaged!
