VOTING AT AGGS

On Tuesday 12 and Wednesday September all of our students went to the polls to cast their vote in a Mock Election run by TIC Social Studies Etomia Wilson and the Social Science committee.

The girls have been discussing in Social Studies the policies and promises of the various candidates and parties in the Auckland Central Electorate and on 12 and 13 September, in circumstances very similar to what their parents and whanau will vote in on Election Day, 23 September, they cast their votes. 

This, we believe is an essential part of growing good citizens, who are interested and involved.
