Local government education

School classes are invited to enhance their study of Civics and Citizenship and learn more about their local government and community.

Student outcomes

Watch the Civics presentation or contact the School Liaison Officer to arrange a tour, and learn:

How local government works
About the services it provides to the community
Taking part in a mock election
The difference between local laws and state laws
About elected members and council officers and their roles in the community
About their families’ role in determining the type of community in which they wish to live.

A tour of Joondalup Library, featuring the Local History collection, is available. This provides a practical example of a local government service.

The public artwork surrounding the Civic Centre and its relationship to Joondalup is also available to be discovered.
