Allergen Aware

Last week our School Board endorsed the school’s ‘Healthy Food and Drink’ policy. Copies of the policy are available from the school office. We will also post a copy on our website. This policy will help clear up the misconception that the school is ‘nut free’. The policy states: “Tuart Hill Primary School is an ‘allergen aware’ school that follows a policy of ‘active avoidance’ . Staff, parents, students and health care professionals work together to create Health Care plans that suit the specific needs of students with allergies. All parents are encouraged to be sensitive to the health care needs of students at our school by being aware of possible allergies and not sending known triggers to school e.g. peanuts, tree nuts.”
