Allergies: Student Lunch Boxes and Birthday Celebrations

We encourage families to keep food allergies in mind when packing their child/ren's school lunches. Students may have varied food-based allergies, including allergies to peanuts, dairy, gluten and egg. Some of these allergic reactions can lead to severe reactions such as anaphylaxis.

With COVID Smart Measures and child allergies in mind, families wanting to provide a birthday treat for their child are asked to either make a purchase through Mel’s Lunchbox (eg. iceblocks/individual cupcakes) or provide store bought/packaged cupcakes and ensure packaging detailing the ingredients is also provided to the class room teacher. If planning a birthday treat for your child please contact your child's classroom teacher to discuss if there are children in the class who may have a food allergy, to ensure no child is excluded.

ICAS School Competitions for Years 3-6

ICAS is an online academic competition that is designed to assess Year 3-6 students’ higher order thinking and problem-solving skills in English, Mathematics, Science and Writing. Each assessment celebrates students’ accomplishments by providing opportunities for recognition and development. Every student who participates will receive a printed certificate and an online results report. Top performers will be eligible for medals. We encourage you to consider entering your child into ICAS this year.
