Our pupils put democracy into action as they took part in the Gifford Government Elections!

Candidates from each class worked hard to campaign for their classmates’ votes before pupils headed to our official ballot boxes to make their choices. Everyone who voted proudly received an “I Voted Today” sticker.

The elections provided a fantastic opportunity for children to experience the democratic process first-hand, learning about the importance of having a voice, making informed choices and respecting the views of others.

The votes will now be counted, with the Gifford Government election results announced next week. Well done to everyone who took part, and good luck to all our candidates!

Parents and carers: Why not ask your child about their election experience? Who were the candidates in their class, what ideas did they put forward, and what helped your child make their decision?
