There is election fever at Birralee today!
The Year 4 students have formed political parties and have collaborated together to develop manifestos and political posters. The political parties have written speeches and elected a party leader, who has recorded an election speech.
Today, the speeches will be shared with their fellow students at Birralee and all students and staff are asked to cast their vote.
