The NSW Department of Education has introduced a menstrual hygiene program in NSW public schools. This program aims to reduce any barriers that may prevent students from participating fully in school life.

As part of the program, our school has dispensers that provide free pads for students to access during school hours. The dispensers will be located in the Stage 3 female toilets and in the office access toilet.

Period underwear is also available

Our school also has a limited quantity of period underwear at no cost for students. These can be ordered through School Bytes parent portal.

Each pack of period undies contains 2 pairs that are the same size and colour.
