Room 6 Political Parties and Policies

After a few conversations around politics and the political process in New Zealand, we thought it would be fun to create our own political groups.

Each group had to come up with their five most important policies- 3 relating to New Zealand in general and 2 relating to our lives at HSS. The parties have been making posters and websites, we've had some class debates and next week we will be broadcasting our political debates on our school radio station, HSS 107 fm.

Check out some of the political parties. What do you think of their policies?
