Birthday Party Policy
Parents are permitted to celebrate their child's birthday in school. The regulations are that the party MUST only be during the regularly scheduled lunch period so as to not interrupt classroom learning time.
Parents MUST be aware that there are students who have peanut allergies and therefore no peanut products should be brought into parties.
Pizza, cupcakes etc are standard fares of celebration and parents should check with the classroom teacher so that each child celebrates their classmates party and no one is excluded.
