Dear Parents/Carers,
A reminder that we are a Nut-free school and we ask that students do not bring nut products in their lunch boxes.
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.
