report writing on how class conducted the election for a class leader
Answers
Answer:
Yesterday’s prefect induction at XYZ School was carried out after a
mini election at the school.
This mini election also prepared eligible student voters for the September elections.
We agree with school Principal Sir John when he said – “It’s a new initiative because we are having our national election this year. We wanted to empower students to independently think of those who they wish to lead the school, the teachers don’t have any say at all.”
Students nominated their own form captains and the whole school nominated six students to be school heads. They were given three weeks to campaign. They put up their own posters and organised classroom campaigns.
Every recess and lunch break they were given a chance to talk to students on why they should be elected as Head Boy or Head Girl.
For these students becoming a prefect is a great way to end time at the school, and is a massive advantage for them in the future. Research shows that many successful business people held positions of responsibility while they were at school, and school prefect looks great on anyone’s curriculum vitae (CV).
For the voting students they listened to all campaigns by the aspiring six candidates for the top prefect posts – Head Boy and Head Girl.
They were given the right to vote for the best candidate and there was no interefence from anybody.
The Head Boy, Roseru Naiwasetawa, admitted to the Fiji Sun that he had campaigned hard to get the top prefect post.
“My campaign team put up posters around the school telling the students of what I’ll do for them if they vote for me as head boy of the school,” he said
Don’t you think other schools should follow LMS way in the selection of their head prefects next year? In many schools teachers select prefects and students have to accept their selection.
Surely students should have a say in the selection of their leaders because they would be their representatives to the teachers.
Star Correspondent:
As a part of the ‘General Election-2008’ election was held in the centre of T&T Girls’ School on December 29,2008. The whole process of taking polls and counting votes was done as fairly as possible.
The presiding officer and the whole team started their work at 7:30 in the morning. At first, the presiding officer called the polling agents of all candidates. He showed the empty ballot boxes and ballot papers to the agents. Then he sealed the boxes. After that the police forces were deployed in and around the centre to reinforce law and order. Before 8 in the morning many enthusiastic voters both male and female gathered in front of the centre. It was exactly 8:00 am when the presiding officer announced to start taking votes. The voters both male and female standing in different queues started casting their votes in different booths. And the vote taking process continued relentlessly till 4 in the afternoon. After 4: pm vote taking process was stopped. The presiding officer opened all the ballot boxes in front of the polling agents and the media men. The polling officers started counting the votes. After 2 hour hard work all the counting was done. Then the result was declared.
Throughout the day the presiding officer and the whole team worked fairly. There were no signs of violence or corruption in holding the election. It was possible not only by law and order but also by the enthusiastic voters.
