Students Lead US Election Workshop

With the US Election taking place on 5th November, many students were very interested in learning how the elections work there.  A level Politics students organised and presented a workshop that was open to for the whole school to explain the process to them.

Kian Croxall, Thomas Cheang, and Lola Omole presented the Electoral College System in a 45 minute workshop which ultimately reached over 100 students.  They made the Politics department very proud not only because of their political IQ and grasp of US electoral processes, but also because they did this purely for academic purposes and to teach others.  This follows beautifully our Catholic Social Teaching and really speaks to the Christian character of our students.  We are very grateful to them for sharing their knowledge and passion for politics.  The students who attended the workshop left with a working knowledge of the elections in the US and a map that they used to project a winner.  Well done to all!
