ALL YEARS: ALLERGIES
There are a number of students and staff in the school with severe life threatening allergies (anaphylaxis) to various foods, insect bites/stings and medications. Please talk to your child about anaphylaxis and encourage them to always take allergies seriously. More information on anaphylaxis can be found on Anaphylaxis (healthywa.wa.gov.au)
Parents/caregivers should remind their child that allergies can be very serious and not to share their food with other students.
A student with a food allergy should never take food from another student, especially if the ingredients are unknown.
Students should be respectful of all medications, including adrenaline auto-injectors. If a student/friend is unwell from suspected food allergen they should seek help from an adult immediately.
