Snag a democracy sausage and support your local school

A democracy sausage is a great way to support your local school this election day.

With the federal election looming, volunteers are working hard behind the scenes to ensure local schools are ready to play their part on election day.

School Parents and Citizens’ Associations (P & Cs) across Canberra will be operating barbecues, bake sales and more to raise funds to support their initiatives.

If your appetite isn’t for democracy sausages, you’ll still be able to snag some of the action with many schools offering diverse menu options, craft stalls, live music, entertainment and more.

Harrison School Communications Coordinator, Kate Riley, said she was excited to bring the school community together for a worthy cause.

“In previous election years we’ve received great support from the local community. The Harrison School has been one of the busiest polling locations in Gungahlin and we’re hoping to see that again this time ’round, ”said Kate.
