Students will gain an understanding of what Council does and meet experts who work here.
Students then take a decision making role as they plan how to spend ratepayers’ money (y7-13) or complete a scavenger hunt activity (y5-6)
We conclude with a visit to Council Chambers to see where key local government decisions are made.
We are learning to:
Students use oral, written and visual texts to understand key terms.
