Year 10 Community Challenge
Melbourne Period Project - 10C2
For the year 10 community challenge, class 10C2 has chosen to partner with the Melbourne Period Project. The Melbourne Period Project is an organisation which aims to give homeless women access to sanitary items such as pads and tampons, as well as other necessary items.

We have chosen to open donation boxes around the school in order to collect items and raise awareness, and further educate our students on this pressing issue. To do this, we will have representatives from our class coming to talk at year level assemblies in the next few weeks.
We will be accepting donations throughout all of week 3 (23rd-27th October) and will have representatives from 10C2 collecting items from classrooms. The donation boxes will be placed around the school, so look for them in the year 12 study centre, sick bay, deans' offices and other areas around the school!
PLEASE DONATE:
- Sanitary pads (any size)
- Tampons (any size)
- Baby wipes
- Hand sanitiser
- Scented bags
- Toothbrushes/toothpaste
- And any other sanitary items!
