Personal Hygiene
North Melbourne Primary School
From Kristen Pepyat, Assistant Principal
Free Period Products program
A reminder that our school has free period products available.
All Victorian public schools have access to the Free Period Products program. Since 2019, more than 11 million products have been given to students. The Victorian Government funds the program.
At our school, products are located in the inclusive toilet at the Errol Street Office and in Year 5 and 6 classrooms.
To support this program, our school will give our year five and six students information about menstruation and safe usage of pads and tampons on Friday 6th February 2026.
Information on these websites may help you talk about menstrual health and hygiene at home:
