The department’s menstrual hygiene program makes period products readily available at school. For NSW students, having access to free products could improve attendance at school or participation in learning activities.

Both primary and secondary schools can organise these products for their students free of charge. Students and parents will be informed by schools on how they can access the sanitary products during school hours in a safe and discreet manner.

Pads and tampons are available to students at no cost through dispensers installed in school toilets and other selected locations. This might be different in each school, based on local needs and preferences.

Period underwear is available at no cost to students. School staff can place orders once they know the student’s size, colour and style preference. This can be organised through the school’s front office administrative staff as required.

March is Autoimmune Disease Awareness Month.

Autoimmune diseases happen when the body’s immune system mistakenly turns against itself.

Instead of protecting you, it begins attacking your own healthy cells.

It can affect the joints.
The organs.
The nervous system.
The hormones.
Almost any part of the body.

For many people, it looks invisible from the outside.

But the reality is chronic pain that people can’t see.
Exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix.
Brain fog that makes simple things feel overwhelming.
Flare-ups that appear out of nowhere.

Some days are manageable.
Other days feel like your own body is fighting against you.

Millions of people are living with autoimmune diseases and quietly battling something their own immune system started.

Awareness matters.
Understanding matters.
And so does compassion for the battles people are fighting that you may never see. 🤍

This one is close to my heart, as I have coeliac disease. I thought it was going to be the end of my world when I was diagnosed this time last year, but it turns out, it isn’t as difficult to adhere to a gluten free diet as it used to be. There is so much more on offer, than what I thought, when you know how to identify gf in all types of food.

Coeliac Awareness Week in Australia for 2026 is scheduled for March 13-20, focusing on diagnosing the estimated 80% of sufferers who are currently undiagnosed. The campaign encourages people to look beyond common symptoms and get tested for this autoimmune condition.

A chronic autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the small intestine upon ingesting gluten.

Symptoms include diarrhea, bloating, pain, anemia, and fatigue. It is diagnosed via blood tests and intestinal biopsy, with treatment requiring a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet.

Untreated coeliac disease can lead to serious long-term complications, including osteoporosis, infertility, and, in rare cases, small bowel lymphoma.

To understand and to have guided help with transitioning or helping a family or friend, this website is totally worth a read. It helped me immensely!

Australia’s go-to source for empowering information and inspiration for living a great gluten-free life.

International Mother Language Day

Languages, with their complex implications for identity, communication, social integration, education and development, are of strategic importance for people and planet. Yet, due to globalization processes, they are increasingly under threat, or disappearing altogether. When languages fade, so does the world’s rich tapestry of cultural diversity. Opportunities, traditions, memory, unique modes of thinking and expression, valuable resources for ensuring a better future, are also lost.

Every two weeks a language disappears taking with it an entire cultural and intellectual heritage. UNESCO estimates that there are 8,324 languages, spoken or signed. Out of these, around 7,000 languages are still in use. Only a few hundred languages have genuinely been given a place in education systems and the public domain, and less than a hundred are used in the digital world.

Multilingual and multicultural societies exist through their languages, which transmit and preserve traditional knowledge and cultures in a sustainable way.
