Students and staff who have a nut allergy can develop potentially life-threatening allergic reactions. 
If someone has a nut allergy it is not just eating nuts that could cause a reaction, being touched on the skin, smelling food, or products containing nuts can cause an anaphylactic shock which can cause breathing and swallowing difficulties. 

Some examples of food containing nuts/nut products - 

-Peanut butter

-Chocolate spread

-Some cereal/granola bars

-Cake containing nuts

-Satay sauce 

-Sauces that contain nuts

-Hand cream

Please note that these are just some of the products. 

Please check the ingredients of the products before sending them to school. 

We also have a student with a severe Kiwi fruit allergy and we ask that students do not bring Kiwi fruit into school. 

We appreciate your understanding of the importance of keeping our school nut-free.
