Food Allergies & Anaphylaxis

As you are no doubt aware, we have a number of students at Mimosa who are highly allergic to certain foods and we discourage these foods being brought into the school environment. I would like to remind everyone to please be extra vigilant and very mindful when sending in birthday treats to school like cakes, biscuits, chocolates or lollies.

Please don’t send any food to school that contains nuts or nut products (like Nutella or Peanut Butter).

For a child who suffers from Anaphylaxis related to nut allergies, ingesting these products is potentially life-threatening. All members of staff are trained to respond to an anaphylactic medical emergency, but it is imperative that to minimise the risk, everyone continues to think carefully about the food that they send to school.

Thank you to everyone for your support in helping to keep our children safe at school.
