Election 2010: Nellie McClung School Students Are Trustees for a Day
Why Vote? Would you ever want to be a school trustee someday? Do you think the job of trustee would be difficult? These are important questions to consider with a civic election coming October 18. These are also some of the questions we asked Nellie McClung School students to answer when they visited the CBE's Education Centre in April.
During their visit, the students also learned about decision making at the CBE and took to the Boardroom to discuss and debate matters related to education.
View video clips of their visit.
