From The Classroom
Year 9 and 10 Commerce Class Political Election
Year 9 and 10 Commerce classes recently held their highly anticipated class elections. This democratic process provided an invaluable hands-on learning experience for all students, bringing the principles of leadership, campaigning, and civic participation to life.
The candidates demonstrated impressive dedication and creativity in their campaigns. From compelling speeches outlining their values and promises to the eye-catching posters and persuasive arguments, each aspiring party showcased their unique strengths and commitment to serving the community. Students had the opportunity to thoughtfully consider each candidate's proposals, emphasising the importance of informed decision-making and selecting leaders who truly reflect the needs and aspirations of the people.
The election culminated in a well-organised voting process, using the preferential voting system, where every student had the chance to cast their vote confidentially, mirroring real-world democratic practices. The atmosphere was one of respectful anticipation as the ballots were cast and counted.
For Year 9, it was very close between EOA, The Employment Party and the Biberals, with the Echoes of our Ancestors (EOA) winning on preferences!
For Year 10 it was Savannah who took out a convincing win as an independent with the Triple S Party - Stand with Savannah.
A big thank you to all the students for participating so enthusiastically and to Mr Howard and the Year 11 Catholic Faith in Action students volunteering to cook the BBQ and serve an obligatory democracy sausage for the Year 9 candidates.
