Welcome to Foundation at Ardtornish PS
The Foundation Year
“In their first year of school, students learn through teaching interactions with others, experimentation, practice and play in the classroom and school community. Priority is given to literacy and numeracy development, as these are the foundations upon which further learning is built. Opportunities to develop literacy and numeracy are found in all subjects but particularly in English and Mathematics. Learning in a classroom and belonging to a school community are key to the first year at school.” (Information for Parents, The Australian Curriculum – Foundation Year: ACARA)
Ardtornish is a Nut Aware School
Ardtornish has become a Nut Aware school in order to support our students with nut allergies. Children can have many different allergies, ranging in severity. In severe cases an allergy can cause anaphylaxis and even death.
The following website has useful information about peanut allergies.

What does this mean for you?
This means that products containing nuts are not to be brought to school, including sandwich spreads that contain nuts. If a product label says "may contain traces of nuts" this is usually ok.
Thank you for supporting us in this matter.
If you have any questions please see your child's teacher or the front office staff.
