Chewing Gum 

Dear Parent/Guardian 

We would like to ask your support in making our school site a chewing gum free site. Students are asked not to bring chewing gum into school. The removal of chewing gum from carpets and the playground is very expensive for the school. In the unlikely event that your student loses professionalism points for chewing gum they will be asked to complete community service where they will support the school in removing chewing gum from the bottom of tables. 

Many thanks 

Ms Futo
