Dayboro State School supports students diagnosed with anaphylaxis or at risk of anaphylaxis and uses a range of strategies to reduce allergens in school.  

We have one student in Year 4 with a NUT allergy and ask parents in Year 4 not to send any nut containing products in lunchboxes.  Parents in other grades are kindly requested to refrain from sending nuts also.  This is not a ban, but a strategy in place to reduce the chance of a student at risk of anaphylaxis coming into contact with their allergen.

Our strategies include: not sharing food, handwashing, reduction of foods and empty food containers in school activities and education for students and community members.

Dayboro SS staff are attending an Anaphylaxis training with a trained professional tomorrow afternoon in the library.
