This morning, June 8, we held a mock General Election in school organised by Ms McNulty.

Years 7, 8 and 9 queued to vote in St Francis’ Hall. Year 10 and Year 11 students didn’t participate due to work experience and the maths exam.

At a special assembly,  our chaplain Mr Connolly stressed the importance of democracy and voting and added that Pope Francis has said everyone must use their vote wisely when they reach the age of 18.

Today was a chance for our young students  to get involved and to start to realise the importance of the vote.

Results will be announced later today.

It will be interesting to see if our students’ choice tallies with the Country’s choice.
