How can my child be elected?

Be creative! You can refer to the role statement below. Short presentation/ or a poster is due to your classroom teacher by Monday 22nd February. They will be presenting in class during the week of 22nd to 26th February. Elected Class Captains will be announced in the weekly College newsletter on Friday 26th February.
