Anti-graffiti visit


We recently decided that graffiti was a problem in our city as part of our HamiltON inquiry project. Constable Berquist and Mr Molloy from the HCC gave us a talk about what our city is doing to fight the problem of graffiti.

They invited us to participate in a poster competition with prizes supplied by the HCC. A very interesting thing happened to a couple of our classmates this week. As they went to the ICT suite to print out a colour copy of their posters, another teacher stopped them saying "Your poster should say anti-tagging, not anti-graffiti, because it's tagging that is bad, not graffiti." Was she right? What do you think?

Please add comments regarding interesting things you learned in the talk.
