Year 4 had a great opportunity to bring their local democracy unit to life with a visit from local councillor, Craig Timmins. The children really enjoyed learning firsthand about the everyday responsibilities of a councillor and how local government operates in our community. Following the classroom session, he also stopped by to meet with our newly elected School Council for their very first meeting of the year. They had a productive discussion comparing local government to the school council, focusing on the positive changes our own student representatives can make here at school. It was a lovely, informative visit that perfectly complemented the children's classroom learning and gave them a great, practical introduction to the democratic process!
