The school says that the rules have come into force because they have been dealing with issues – including students misusing the toilets – with an “increasing number of Year 11 pupils”.One parent, Ciaran McCauley, toldon Thursday: “My son is in Year 12 at the school and he came home on Friday last and was quite concerned because he had become aware of the email that had gone out to the parents of Year 11 students.
“He complained that the toilets were being locked and students and parents had been asked to supply notes. “I thought it was regressive and led to embarrassing situations for kids. Unfortunately we live in a society where periods still have a stigma attached to them and they’re still an embarrassment for many.”
In a statement, principal Michael Houston said: “As a rights respecting school, Ulidia Integrated College is in full support of the Period Dignity Project, which refers to the accessibility and availability of essential care needed to support a period in conjunction with the removal and breaking of stigma and taboo around periods.
Schools here will be the next excuse to shut the country down again. Give it a couple weeks. Bye 22.
