RULES FOR A FRIENDLY CAMPAIGN

• A4 LEAFLETS MAY BE POSTED ON SCHOOL NOTICEBOARDS IN CLASSROOM AND CORRIDORS.
• DO NOT POST ON WALLS, WINDOWS OR DOORS.
• DO NOT REMOVE EXISTING NOTICES OR LEAFLETS FROM OTHER CANDIDATES.
• POSITIVE CAMPAIGNING MEANS YOUR WRITTEN AND SPOKEN WORDS EMPHASISE YOUR LEADERSHIP AND ORGANISATIONAL QUALITIES. THERE IS NO NEED TO MENTION OTHER CANDIDATES. DO NOT CRITICISE OTHER CANDIDATES.
• DO NOT MAKE EXTRAVAGANT or UNREALISTIC PROMISES -example -"I will get Starbucks to open a branch in school." The campaign is about finding the most dynamic student leaders, policy goals will be set later in consultation with the Teacher Mentor and the Principal.
• DO NOT use undue influence through gifts or inappropriate tactics.
• Electronic canvassing through the internet is ok but follow the rules above also. Send Mr C a copy of any internet post or emails you send.
• Keep it clean, friendly and honest. Remember we will all be working together after the election in Student Action Groups, no matter who wins the EXCOM positions.
• Failure to observe these guidelines may lead to the removal of candidates from the ballot.
