At Cashmere Primary Te Pae Kererū we have several children who have a severe allergy to nuts, please read this important article.

At Cashmere Primary Te Pae Kererū we have children who have a severe allergy to nuts, which results in anaphylaxis. In order for our children with severe allergies to remain safe at school, we strongly recommend that no nut products come to school (especially sticky nut products such as nut butters and bliss balls) and ask that whānau keep this in mind when making lunch for your child/children. 

It is important that students at Cashmere Primary Te Pae Kererū with severe food allergies only eat lunches and snacks that have been prepared at home and that all students should not share food with others.

Please share this important message with your child/children so that they know not to offer or swap food with their friends at school. If your child has nut products in their lunch please ensure your child’s homeroom teacher knows. Children who have nut products in their lunch must be encouraged to wash their hands after eating in order to keep all learners safe.
