Sharing Food

At St Thomas The Apostle the rule is NO sharing food.

If a student has forgotten to bring their food the school will:

• call you to see if the food can be dropped in
• supply a basic snack or lunch if you approve

We have students who are anaphylactic and highly allergic to a variety of allergens within our school. For this reason we do not permit any sharing of food between students. This includes birthday treats or cultural celebration foods.

Using food in learning opportunities at school

If the students are going to explore healthy eating or celebrating a special event a notice will be sent to you  giving you information about the food, the purpose and the ingredients. You can inform the teacher if an ingredient is not suitable for your child.
