In their assemblies and tutor times next week, students will see the candidates present their manifestos, including our very own Aya in Year 11 who is standing.

This is an opportunity to talk to students also about the powerful ways they can get involved in a democratic process to get their voices heard.

If any other students are interested in standing for this in future should they could speak to Aya about her experiences, look at the BCYC twitter feed or visit the BCYC website to find out more.
