The newsletter said as the college opposed the development, "we need to continue to be principled in this area".

�As such, no staff member is permitted to make purchases at either of the new businesses during work hours or for work-related purposes.

�Parents who opposed the development are encouraged to continue opposition by not supporting the business, in this location.

�Parents are reminded that the college parking is to be used for college business.

"Parking at the college and walking across to the new McDonald's is not the purpose of our parking."

The newsletter outlines that no student should leave the college grounds at any time during the day to purchase lunch.

�No FCC student should leave the college after school to make a purchase from nearby businesses and then return to the college.

"Students are not permitted to have fast food lunches brought to the college."

The newsletter said the college was not opposed to Caltex or McDonald's in appropriate areas, such as commercial or business precincts.

"Not between schools and where more medical and health facilities are needed."

A McDonald's spokesman said the company had worked hard to ensure all requirements for the site, which was zoned for businesses, were met.
