We Disagree: Bethanie Deeney Murguia
We Disagree is about a mouse and squirrel who can’t seem to agree on anything. This book explores the themes of acceptance and friendship.
I would recommend reading this story with your child to help them understand that it’s OK to have different ideas and opinions with our friends and family.

Nut Free Environment
St Paul is a "Nut Free” environment. At any given time, a number of students in our school have a severe peanut/nut allergy. These students cannot be exposed to nuts in ANY form, as this will trigger an anaphylactic reaction. Anaphylaxis requires an immediate injection of adrenalin, ambulance attendance and hospitalisation. Given the life-threatening nature of anaphylaxis, the elimination of peanut/nuts and food containing nuts within the school, is really important. We ask that children who have peanut butter for breakfast on school days, please wash their hands thoroughly and clean their teeth before coming to school. No student is to bring the following foods to school:
- Peanut butter (sandwiches, dips or crackers)
- Nutella (sandwiches or dips)
- Biscuits and cakes with nuts in them
- Muesli bars with nuts
- Chocolate containing nuts e.g. Snickers, dried fruit & nut mixes
- (This does not include products that contain the warning “may contain traces of nuts”)
