It has been a very wet week so far and we must remind families and students that they should have raincoats/jackets to wear to and from school.

NO UMBRELLAS PLEASE.

CROSS COUNTRY Yr 3-6 / ATHLETICS Yrs 3-6/

TABLOID SPORTS Kindergarten, Yr 1 & 2

We have decided to go ahead with these school sporting activites for our students.

Whilst there are still no Zone or Regional Carnivals this year we thought our students would still like to participate in these sporting events.

The school will follow all Department and  Health Guidelines.

This means that parents/caregivers will not be able to attend these events unfortunately. However, I am sure the students will enjoy the days fun.

LITTLE ACCIDENTS

Occasionally children 9 particularly little ones) will have an accident and need a change of underwear/clothes.

We generally have them available but ask that they are washed and returned. 

The cupboard is bare at the moment. Can I ask parents to put some in their child's bag so that your child can be changed easily.

What is anaphylaxis?
Anaphylaxis is a severe and sometimes sudden allergic reaction. It can occur when a
susceptible person is exposed to an allergen, such as a food or insect sting. Although death is
rare, an anaphylactic reaction always requires an emergency response. Prompt treatment
with adrenaline is required to halt progression and can be lifesaving. Fortunately anaphylactic
reactions are usually preventable by implementing strategies for avoiding allergens.
Common allergens that can trigger anaphylaxis are:
 foods (e.g. peanuts and other nuts, shellfish and fish; milk and egg, wheat, sesame
and soy)
 insect stings (e.g. bee, wasp, jack jumper ants)
 medications (e.g. antibiotics, aspirin)
 latex (e.g. rubber gloves, balloons, swimming caps).
This is not, however, an exhaustive list of possible allergens.

The severity of an anaphylactic reaction can be influenced by a number of factors including
minor illness, asthma, and, in the case of food allergens, the amount eaten. In the case of
severe food allergies, an anaphylactic reaction is usually triggered by ingestion.

As a community we can support our families by adhering to a NO NUT policy. Children should not bring nut products to school and our canteen wil follow the same policy. Children with no allergies are often unaware that they could be sharing food that should not be shared. 

We all have a responsibility to support our young people when it comes to food and allergies.
