The $20.7 million scheme is being rolled out this week, with the sanitary items to be made available in every public primary, secondary and specialist school by the middle of next year.
Girls at one of the first campuses to get the pads and tampons, University High School at Parkville in Melbourne's inner-north, say it'll make a big difference. Victorian Minister for Education James Merlino Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and Victorian Minister for Prevention of Family Violence, Minister for Women and Minister for Youth Gabrielle Williams alongside students and staff at University High in Melbourne, Wednesday.
"If, unexpectedly, we do get our period, it's really good to have the resources necessary so we can deal with this and move on with our life," one year eight student who did not want to be named said. "We don't want our period to be stopping us from doing the rest of our activities, like sport and school.Schools will also get free bins for sanitary products under the program.The funding of $20.7 million is spread over four years
WHY!
When you say ‘girls’ I assume that’s any birth species & gender that currently identifies as human female?
Free? For them, not tax payers.
Majority of girls that age always carry spare in the bags, it's a must.
And Gender neutral may also have one...just in case
Why, that's the parents responsibility. What will schools pay for next?
Good, we were poor when I was going to school and had to stuff my undies with toilet paper because mum couldn't afford these items.
I’m 70 and in my day if you got your period you just went to the office and they would give you a pad and it was free I thought this happened at all schools
The biggest tampon is that tall one at the back
And the Boys, will they get free shaving gear? ..... asking for a Friend.

Laws forcing priests to report child abuse passed in Victorian parliamentPriests in Victoria will now have to report child abuse if it is revealed to them during confesssion, or face up to three years in prison, after legislation was passed by Parliament last night. One more step towards communism Good, about time. It's highly unlikely that a paedophile would reveal his/her indiscretions in a confessional box. The offence is already their secret,& that's the way the deviant priest would keep the abuse, certainly not sharing to anyone.
