We have students who have anaphylactic reactions to nut pruducts. These reactions can be triggered by contact, ingestion or inhalation. 

This reaction is called Anaphylaxis. It is a severe, rapidly progressive allergic reaction that is potentially life threatening and requires urgent treatment. Our school does its best to be an "Allergy Aware" school. The school cannot guarantee a totally allergen free environment, however as a preventative measure could we please ask you to consider the students in our school who are at risk of anaphylaxis by:

• Avoid sending food to school which has nuts or nut products. 
• Along with our teachers, speak to your child to respect children who have food allergies.
• Speak to  your child encouraging them not to share food, drink, food utensils or containers with anyone.
• Encourage your child to wash their hands before and after eating.
• Ask your child to get help immediately if their allergic schoolmate gets sick.
• The resulting potential life threatening medical emergency could be avoided by minimising exposure to nuts.
