St Bede's is a Nut Free school
Unfortunately we have again found sandwiches and baked goods with Nutella, please beware that this is placing some of our students at great risk.
St Bede's is a nut free school - This mean that students should not bring anything containing nuts to school, this includes Nutella, Peanut Butter and any other nut butters as we have several students who are highly allergic to these items.
The sharing of any food, lollies or confectionery is not encouraged.
