Delaunay class thought long and hard about which two students they wanted to nominate as their school council representatives. Candidates put themselves forward and confidently stepped up to deliver their carefully written speeches, before their classmates took part in a vote to see who had convinced them the best.
The school’s council members are chosen by the students, and it gives all of our children the opportunity to have their voice heard and the experience of exercising their democratic muscle.
Elections-1All the children made convincing arguments and suggested ways in which they might be able to make a positive impact in the role, so well done!
The chosen students will benefit from being able to help their peers share their ideas as well as having the opportunity to learn about how a democracy is supposed to work and to develop confidence. They will hold regular class meetings and share the students’ views with the wider school community.
