- Telopea Park School is a 'nut-free' school. A number of students have a severe allergic reaction to nuts and require immediate medical intervention if they come into contact with nuts. To ensure the safety of these students, other students are requested not to bring peanut butter sandwiches or nut based products to school.
- Students are not permitted to bring sweets/chocolates or drinks to sell to other students during the school day. Such activities have been banned. Any goods brought to school will be confiscated and only returned to a parent/carer.
- Aerosol spray cans are banned as the chemicals in the spray cans may trigger an asthma attack in some members of the school community.
Mobile Phones, Electronic Devices, Valuable items
