Firs School Election 2005

Each party presented their ideas to the electorate (J3/ Year 5) who voted overwhelmingly for the Green party. The Greens promised and end to university tuition fees, cleaner hospitals, a ban on smoking in all public places and to strengthen relationships with other countries.

J4 thoroughly enjoyed using their debating skills and learning more about the democratic process.
