Habs Election Hustings

General Election fever has reached Habs. We have held a series of hustings events for our mock election candidates to debate topical issues such as Brexit, the UK economy, climate change, education, the NHS and how to restore public confidence in the political process.

The final debate took place at lunchtime on Friday 6 December with Rohan, Krish, Sam, Ethan and George representing the Brexit Party, the Conservative Party, the Liberal Democrats, the Green Party and the Labour Party.

The lively 40 minute debate was well attended by a large crowd of students and staff from the Boys’ and Girls’ Schools. Passion, eloquence and political knowledge were all on display throughout the debate.

The School will hold a mock election to take place with the UK General Election 2019 on Thursday 12 December. Engagement with the democratic process is very much evident within our School community.
