MENSTRUAL HYGIENE PROGRAM
Menstrual hygiene program comes to Artarmon Public School
The NSW Department of Education has introduced a menstrual hygiene program in NSW public schools. Our menstrual hygiene 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 female toilets off the McMillan playground.
Period underwear is also available
Our school can also order period underwear at no cost for students. Students can access this product by requesting a pack at the front office.
Each pack of period undies contains 2 pairs that are the same size, colour and style. These are available upon request and there may be a short waiting period until the undies are delivered to our school.
Visit edu.nsw.link/MHP to find more information and to download a flyer about the program which is available in English and 10 other languages.
