Lunch Ordering System
No NUTS in Packed Lunches
Please remember that children should not have nuts or items containing nuts in their packed lunches. We have several children in our school who have severe nut allergies and just being in the same room as someone eating nuts can trigger a dangerous, life threatening allergic reaction.
Our catering manager ensures that there are no nuts in any of the food that is prepared and cooked on site.
