Visits With Schools to Discuss Graffiti and Tagging.
We are currently issuing invitations to all our local primary and intermediate schools to allow us to meet and discuss the current graffiti/ tagging problems with groups of year 5/6/7/8 students.
Our aim is to encourage pride, respect and responsibility in the students towards their environment.
These discussions will be supported by a representative from the Police who will give their view on this important issue.
We are inviting groups of students to have some 'hands on' experience in going into their local parks and reserves to paint out tagging.
If you know of a school or group who would be interested in meeting with us, please contact Barbara on 269 4080.
