WELCOME TO KID NATION AT OPS!

This term, our whole-school learning topic is Kid Nation, where students are exploring economics, financial literacy and Australian democracy.

As part of our Kid Nation experience, Officer Primary School will be holding an election to decide who our students would like to see become our very own Prime Minister!

Our candidates have been busy creating their very own election campaign videos to share their ideas, promises and plans for OPS!

Stay tuned as we introduce our candidates and share their campaign videos!

The big question is… who will OPS choose to lead Kid Nation?
