Nut Allergies at PAC

Due to the large number of students with severe nut allergies in the Preparatory School - PAC Preparatory School is a “Nut Aware” school. Nut products are not stocked in the Prep School Canteen or used in the school kitchen.
It is important that there is a strict avoidance of nuts in order to prevent a life-threatening allergic reaction. We are asking for your help in providing these students with a safe school environment.

Any exposure to nuts may cause a rapid life-threatening allergic reaction that requires emergency medical treatment. To reduce the chance of this occurring, we ask that you do not send any products containing nuts to school with your child. (Please note: products with the “may contain traces of nuts” disclaimer are not included in this exclusion) If your child has eaten nuts before coming to school, please be sure that your child’s hands and face have been thoroughly washed before entering the school.
We appreciate your support of these procedures. Please contact the school if you have any questions.
Thank you for your co-operation.

Neil Andary
Head of the Preparatory School
