Free Period Products available through Ikura

• Our school is part of the Ministry of Education’s nationwide Ikura initiative, which

provides free period products for students.

cultural activities, or feel uncomfortable at school because they don’t have

access to the products they need.

What free products are available?

• A range of liners, regular and super pads and tampons are supplied.

• Products meet the needs of students of different ages, preferences, and cultural backgrounds.

• Each period pack is designed to support a full menstrual cycle.

• Students are encouraged to take as much as they need for each cycle, including for school holidays.
