The 'Game of Democracity' Initiative

SCC's Year 6 students have been exploring democracy in an exciting and innovative way!

Our Year 6 teachers have partnered with the Australian Electoral Commission to help develop a new educational game called Democracity. This interactive game helps students understand the voting process and how preferential voting works.

SCC is proud to be the first school in Tasmania to pilot this initiative, enhancing students’ understanding of democratic principles through engaging, hands-on learning.

Amit from the Australian Electoral Commission flew down from Sydney this week to visit our school and test our game.
