In Year 9 we are studying the topic of Government. The students have looked at Representative Democracy, major Political parties, Levels of Government and are in the process of designing their own political party, making policies and campaigning before they hold their own election.
As a part of this study Wayne Forster, one of the Year 9 teacher’s, reached out to the City of Greater Ballarat Mayor, Councillor Des Hudson, for a visit. Councillor Des spoke to a number of Year 9 classes, especially Core Groups 9.2 and 9.7. Here are some photographs of The Mayors’ visit.
