Children’s Parliament

Alberton Primary School Children’s Parliament Framework was developed by Sophia Mountzouris, together with Social Work students. The Children’s Parliament of Alberton Primary School (CPAPS) is a group of children, who take on leadership responsibilities across the school. Class members have an opportunity to bring forward ideas and discuss any issues that arise during community meetings. All CPAPS ministries have a staff advisor that they can turn to for advice and guidance if needed.
