23 – 28 September 2018
This week during form time we are encouraging pupils to take part in UK Youth Parliament nationwide campaign called, the "Make Your Mark Ballot".
Make Your Mark is a fantastic opportunity to engage our students in citizenship, social change, and offers them the chance to have their voices heard in a very positive way. The ballot itself has a list of 10 issues that affect young people’s day to day life (for example, transport, youth unemployment and education) and they have to do is tick the issue that they feel is the most important to them.
These Ballots will be counted and the five issues with the most votes will be debated at the Houses of Commons by the Members of Youth Parliament. In previous years throughout the whole of the North West, a total of 44,000 ballot papers had been filled out and 15,000 of these came from Lancashire. However, the district that supplied the most ballot papers in all of the North West and Lancashire put together was the Fylde. Even better yet, LSA High School were the single biggest contributor in the Fylde! Hopefully LSA can do the same this year!
