There is election fever at Birralee today!
The Year 4 students have formed political parties and have collaborated together to develop manifestos and political posters. This morning, the political party leades delivered their speeches during their Exit Point on the unit Champions for Change.
Thank you to all parents who turned up and voted!
Unit Summary: Champions for Change
One day, you should have the right to vote – to decide who will lead your country. What will you do with your vote? Which party or leader would you choose? What issues would get your attention? Politics is about taking an active role and interest in the future, to improve our lives and those of others.
The Political Parties tried to convince the voters.
