Period Care Education

KidsCan-Henderson-Intermediate-Voleyball-Line

Puberty Guide

This resource has been developed in collaboration with Nest Consulting and Waste Free with Kate, with the objective to equip and empower school staff to self-lead and facilitate the basic information about period care education to their students. It is designed to be delivered alongside the KidsCan period education video series for teaching multi-year groups about the period
basics, with particular focus on period products, options available, use, care and disposal, and the dispelling of myths.


It is essential that this teaching resource and the full video series is reviewed by staff prior to any lesson delivery and that the most
appropriate teacher (preferably health educator) is assigned to lead the facilitation to students.
