Allergy Aware School

On Monday our school nurse, Kathy Wilton completed the annual refresher with staff about the use of Epipens and Anapens. These pens are used to treat students if they are having (or suspected to be having) an anaphylactic reaction. Staff had the opportunity to practice using both types of pens just in case they need to do so in 'real life'. The school has training pens readily available all the time so staff can have a 'refresher' any time they choose. Complimenting this practical session, all staff have completed the Department of Education's online Anaphylaxis Training professional learning module.

The Department of Education endorses an 'allergy aware' approach rather than food bans. To support this, students are not permitted to share food and there is promotion of ensuring hands are washed if high allergy foods are consumed.

Parents can support the health and wellbeing of our students at risk by ensuring they do their best to eliminate high allergy foods, such as nuts and eggs, from lunch boxes.
